I hope this is the right forum to post this, but my MBA, I think third edition (I bought in 2009) has recently started to freeze a lot. It's been freezing ~ every 1.5 days. When it freezes, I have to do a hard restart because I cannot get to the force quit window.

This morning, I had paused a movie I was watching on hulu and then a little window popped up that said that I needed to do a hard restart of my computer. When I restarted my computer, I got the message below. If anybody can help me I be highly grateful.

Since nobody tried to help you out I give it a try.

You might look into the following two things mentioned in that report in bold.

I would try not to use Pandora for a couple of days and see how it goes.
What I also find odd is that the Airport Kext have been unloaded, if this is the driver for your Airport card that should not happen, there are more Airport drivers inside the .kext though so not 100% sure.

If you don't use Pandora for a couple of days and it won't crash you know which program is the problem.
If it still does you could try to log into another User Account, if you don't have one make one and log into that one and use it for a couple of days, if the problem is gone there is something conflicting in your normal user account, you also should try to use Pandora in the new Account but only after you had no problems for a couple of days, if all runs well then there is a conflict with Pandora and your normal User Account.

Another thing you could try is to restart and hold the shift key, this will get you into safe mode, look if that works out.
Also, repair permissions, repair disk, empty caches, run Daily, weekly and monthly cron scripts.
If nothing helps, reinstall and look how it goes, if you still have problems there might be a hardware problem, you then could run Apple Hardware Test (AHT), you can find how by google search AHT on Macbook Air, I think available when holding option key when starting up.

There might be RAM issues, but just run the AHT test.

Hopefully this will help.
Hope you can solve the problem.

i have a 2011 model that kept doing the same thing. i would be browsing safari and moving the cursor around and suddenly it would just stop moving. the green light on the caps lock button would not light. no beach ball, just nothing moved. had to restart. this would happen completely randomly and i could not reproduce it. Apple had me reinstall the software which i did. it seemed to help a little in terms of frequency. it was happening maybe once every two days or so before. I took it in for genius lookover. first time was just the software reinstall, second time they sent it in for repairs and apple replaced the whole logic board. I think there are issues with some logic boards out there so it would be worth having it looked at.
