What might it be? CPU? GPU? RAM?

It's a macbook unibody late 2008. I've recently upgraded the RAM from 2 to 4GB.

 

[old-wiz]

possible bad RAM go back to the 2GB setup and see how it goes.

 

[sarmz]

Just got another one... (havent changed to old ram yet)

This time no frozen screen... suddenly just went black and i restarted manually

Your panic log shows you are running 10.9.4. I seem to recall that vintage of Macbook wouldn't run 10.9.4 without "help". Did you have to do anything special to get Mavericks (or Mountain Lion) running on your late 2008 Macbook? While I'm quick to suspect the 4GB of RAM, I just want to understand better whether you had to use any "workarounds" to get the latest OS on your (not very old by Mac standards, but possibly too old to run Mavericks out of the box) machine.

Macbook late 2008 is compatible with Mavericks. It's also compatible with Yosemite. I didn't do any workaround to get it on my macbook

OS X Yosemite Requirements

MacBook Air (late 2008 or later)

MacBook (late 2008 aluminum or later)

MacBook Pro (mid 2007 or later)

iMac (mid 2007 or later)

Mac mini (early 2009 or later)

Mac Pro 9 (early 2008 or later)

Xserve (early 2009)

2 GB RAM minimum (I recommend a minimum of 4 GB of RAM)

8 GB of drive space minimum. For basic testing, with only the default apps plus one or two of your own favorites, then 16 GB is a practical minimum. If you want to test Yosemite with a full complement of apps, then additional storage space will be needed, I recommend 40 GB to 100 GB of available space for a beta test environment.

I bought 2x2GB RAM ~1.5 month ago. I bought it on ebay. Everything was working just fine. The crashes started happening only last week. Yet im also suspicious about the RAM, isnt it weird the crashes just started about a week ago?

I had an early 2008 White Macbook that got "voted off the island" some time ago. I had forgotten that 2008 unibody Macbooks would run the latest OSX.

BTW even though it "worked fine" for "a while" I'm also suspicious of the RAM. I had 6 GB in my White Macbook and never had a problem. Oops, I forgot I still use it as a "spare" machine and it works fine even now, though not with Mavericks.

 

[sarmz]

Thank you. Is there a way i can test if it is the RAM?
It's a 2x2GB, so i'm thinking about taking one off to test if the other one is working fine. Is there a way i can cause it to "kernel panic"? Or do i just have to sit and wait? xD

I once ran a Long Test from Apple Hardware Test, while I left home for 2 hours. I came back and it was stuck after 5minutes. So i couldnt get any conclusion from it.

 

[sarmz]

Took one RAM off last night, no crashes by now... but i can never be sure until it happens again.

Is there a way i can test if its really that memory? I cant just wait forever, since the crashes are random. And if it is the RAM i have to send it to the warranty
