About 10% of the time that I put my MacBook to sleep by closing the lid, the stupid thing freezes up on. Its on, so it continues to eat battery... though when you open it back up, the screen is black and it responds to nothing except pressing and holding the on/off button for 10 seconds to turn it off. So, whenever I put it to sleep now, I have to be sure to watch the little light to make sure it goes to sleep (as opposed to staying on).

Anyone else see this? Or is it unique to my MacBook?

Thats only happened a couple times to me. What happens almost all the time though is after I wake my macbook up from sleeping, most of my apps crash. iStatPro, RDC, and a slew of others just get an EXEC error and I have to reboot to get them all to work again, until the next time I put it to sleep. XP via Bootcamp also refuses to Hibernate now, it just sits there. Not sure if its maybe my ram or something else.

This happened to me a bunch of times the first week I had my MacBook. I called Apple Care and they had me take the battery out and reset some junk. All I can say is it hasn't happened again.
