Kernal Panics

bigboy99 · Dec 20, 2007

Two crashes in the last 12 hours.

Here's the log. I don't understand this stuff, but if anyone has any comments that might help me solve the mystery I would appreciate it very much.

I reseated the ram chips after crash #2

Thanks in advance.

I think it looks like the RAM too. Has it panicked after you reseated the chip(s)?

bigboy99 · Dec 21, 2007

Yes, see below.

If possible, try swapping out the RAM chips to see if one of them is faulty. 🙂

bigboy99 · Dec 23, 2007

No OS crashes in 48 hours. I ran Memtest and the ram checked out okay. Could an app be causing this? Firefox crashes most frequently.

mad jew · Dec 23, 2007

It's rare for an app to cause a kernel panic, but it could be a driver... It's usually hardware though, and remember that a pass on the Apple Hardware Test doesn't necessarily mean the components are all okay. It simply means the tests didn't find anything wrong.

SavageMac · Dec 23, 2007

There is no such thing as a kernal panic with Macs, because Macs Just Work.

mad jew · Dec 23, 2007

Denial is the best remedy.

SavageMac · Dec 23, 2007

you're just Mad because Macs are assembeled in palestine now 😀

mad jew · Dec 23, 2007

As long as they still just work, right? 😛

SavageMac · Dec 23, 2007

i guess sarcasm is hard to detect. especially with the fact apple fanboys really do believe, say, and breath those very words......jeeze🙄

mad jew · Dec 23, 2007

Mate, I wasn't being serious! 😀

bigboy99 · Dec 24, 2007

I used a third party app - Memtest. Run in the single user mode, it was able to test 1924 out of 2GB. No issues. The HD is new from Apple. Two firewire external HDs and a USB printer are attached.

Just crashed again this AM. What other hardware could be at the source of these incidents. They're fairly random.

Software based tests aren't fantastic at finding faults. Try swapping the RAM sticks out physically and see if it still crashes.

bigboy99 · Dec 25, 2007

Are you saying pull 1GB and wait (?), if no KP, then swap and wait again?

mad jew · Dec 25, 2007

Pretty much. What's your RAM configuration at the moment? 🙂

bigboy99 · Dec 26, 2007

2 x 1GB

mad jew · Dec 27, 2007

So, any luck with swapping the RAM and running on one chip at a time?

bigboy99 · Dec 28, 2007

Holiday interupus.

mad jew · Dec 28, 2007

Are you drunk?

bigboy99 · Dec 28, 2007

Not yet. It's your shout, right? 😉

mad jew · Dec 28, 2007

Okay.

Now, how's it going running on one chip? Any problems so far?

bigboy99 · Dec 29, 2007

Good choice! I'm traveling for the Holidays, and the tools are at home. I'll try your suggestion when I return.

bigboy99 · Jan 2, 2008

No KPs since 12/24, so I'm going to sit tight. Thanks for the input.

mad jew · Jan 2, 2008

Good work mate. 🙂
