Why does my MacBook Air keeps crashing???

I have a 2017 MacBook Air, currently running Monterey 12.7.3, and it keeps crashing even when I have only 2-3 apps open and they are not even "heavy."

My question is that is it because of the CPU or the RAM that leads to these frequent crashes?

Edit for yall who are nerds: "

iMac 2013 (👴🏻), problemi al risveglio

Ciao a tutti,
ho un iMac del 2013 (sì, è molto vecchio) che per ora non mi ha dato mai problemi. Ho anche cambiato l'HD con un SSD qualche anno fa.
Diciamo che per come sta andando la mia vita ultimamente mi andava più che bene. Ovviamente comunque era in cantiere l'idea di un nuovo acquisto visto che OS ormai non si aggiorna più.

Da circa un mese ho avuto problemi allo STOP. Dopo averlo messo in STOP il computer prova a riavviarsi e non trova il disco (cartella che lampeggia). L'ho portato in assistenza e hanno reinstallato OS, aggiornato fin dove possibile.

Torno a casa, passa un mese in cui non lo metto più un STOP per paura... (come vivo male), ma per sbaglio lo rifaccio. Stessa cosa di prima. Lo riporto in assistenza e mi dicono che da loro non da assolutamente problemi e che passa tutti i controlli e che il problema probabilmente è a casa..

Riporto a casa il computer e il problema è addirittura peggiorato (lo fa anche in standby, ma a sentimento) dopo la reintruduzione del magic mouse (prima usavo uno a filo)

Quindi ho:

- cambiato presa e cambiato proprio angolo dove tengo il computer (anche se non ho molto spazio in casa e per adesso è sul tavolo della cucina 🥲)

- messa una tastiera con cavo

- rimesso mouse con cavo

- spento bluethoot

Ora sto cercando di capire se davvero il problema possa essere una di queste cose, se non addirittura il cavo di alimentazione.

A qualcuno di voi è mai successa una cosa del genere?

Mi è venuto anche un altro dubbio... potrebbero essere delle cuffie bluetooth? che io non uso per il computer ma magari le ho vicino a questo.

Ma un il bluetooth può dare questi tipo di problemi? a me sembra assurdo ma ormai non mi stupisco più di niente.

I lost the power cable for my late 2019 Mac Pro desktop

I think mine was the last upgrade after the trash can model. I use it for my studio for music but moved and lost it in the mess. Searched three times along with family. I search online but just get MacBook Pro and other more popular models' power cord.

If I could possibly know the type of cord and buy a replacement or an OEM I just need to get it on.

I wil tip anyone with help please 🙏

In the era of Apple Silicon there’s someone still screwing around with an Intel Mac

I don’t throw away things unless they’re completely dead & irreparable, this 27” iMac has served me well for so long why not reward it with a good clean out, extra ram and swapping that sad i5-8500 for a 9700k :)

iMac Late 2013 (Iris Pro 5200) Core 0 stuck at 100% in Windows (ACPI Interrupt Storm) — Need Help!

Hi everyone,

I’m dealing with a persistent and incredibly frustrating issue on my iMac running Windows, and I’m hoping someone here might have a clever workaround or technical solution.

My Setup:

Model: iMac 21.5" (Late 2013)
CPU: Intel Core i5
GPU: Intel Iris Pro Graphics 5200
Upgrades: 16GB RAM + SSD
OS: Windows (Tested every version from 8.1 to 11 25H2, installed via both native Boot Camp and OpenCore Legacy Patcher).

Note: Going back to the officially supported macOS Catalina is not an option for me, and patching it to macOS Sequoia runs way too sluggishly. Aside from this Windows bug, the machine performs beautifully for its age thanks to the SSD and RAM upgrade.

The Problem:

After every cold boot, Core 0 of the CPU is permanently stuck at 100% load.

Through log analysis, I’ve discovered that this is an ACPI interrupt storm caused by the Intel graphics driver. It seems Windows incorrectly handles the power management/ACPI functions of the Iris Pro 5200. Since Intel dropped support for this generation years ago, it was never officially patched.

Two interesting clues:

If I uninstall the Intel graphics driver and use the Microsoft Basic Display Adapter, the CPU load drops to normal instantly. However, the UI becomes incredibly laggy and unusable for obvious reasons.
If I put the computer to Sleep and then wake it up, the interrupt storm stops, Core 0 drops to normal, and the system runs flawlessly.

Why the "Sleep" workaround isn't enough:

Because Core 0 is pinned at 100%, entering sleep mode takes about 10 agonizing minutes (the machine looks completely frozen during this time). To make matters worse, I experience frequent power outages in my area. I can't just leave the iMac in sleep mode forever; I have to endure this painful 10-minute shutdown/sleep cycle almost every single day.

My Question:

Is there any way to forcefully disable, mask, or reroute this specific ACPI interrupt in Windows?

Has anyone managed to fix this using registry tweaks, INF driver modifications, or third-party tools like Process Hacker or RWEverything?

I would deeply appreciate any advice, pointers, or tools that could help me bypass this driver bug without losing GPU acceleration. Thanks in advance!

MacBook Pro gives slight vibration/tingling sensation while charging — normal?

Hey everyone,

I recently got a MacBook Pro M1 Pro and everything seems fine. Battery health is 100%, charger is detected as “Apple Inc.” in System Information, and charging works perfectly.

But whenever I use the MacBook while charging, I can feel a very slight vibration/tingling sensation around the left and right side of the trackpad when I slide my fingers over the aluminum body.

I’m using the original 61W Apple charger with the 2-pin plug.

Is this normal because of grounding/earthing, or should I be worried?

Does anyone else experience this on MacBooks?
