Hello!

I have a 2011 MacBook Pro, and I am running Lion (10.8.4), though this problem began when I was running Snow Leopard (10.6.8, I think?).

My computer used to work quite well, then, with no provocation, videos stopped working. YouTube, Netflix, Amazon Prime, and even videos I downloaded to watch with VLC. The videos would become progressively more and more choppy with audio choppiness as well. I enlisted the help of a friend who is much more tech savvy than I, and he noticed that my CPU usage was skyrocketing whenever I would try to play videos (we also noticed this whenever I would try to run any of the software I need for my research). The culprit? A program called msworker or mdworker (if I remember correctly); it would hog huge percentages of my cpu even when the computer was idle. We tried fix after fix, disabling spotlight, etc., and nothing worked.

I thought to wipe the computer and put Ubuntu on it, since most of my research software runs better with Ubuntu anyways, but my computer spits out any disk I put in (new development), and also refused to recognize the USB I formatted.

Last night, I upgraded to Lion. I tried to play a video on it via Netflix and the entire computer crashes to gray screen. When I report the error, this is what it says:

I'd appreciate any help anyone can offer!

Thanks :)
 
How often is your computer panicing?

Have you tried a full wipe and re-install?

I would run Apple Hardware Test.

I would also run Disk Utility and verify permissions.

I would also verify the disk, by booting to the recovery partition, and using Disk Utility there.

If mdworker is hogging your resources, then that is spotlight. Does spotlight constantly re-index your hard drive, or fail to find files?

Cheers
 
Often that last kext loaded is a tip where the problem is. Check this out.
