Hello everybody,

In the last months, my MacBook Pro suffers from a Kernel Panic every few weeks - I would like to find the cause of it, but I don't know how. Not relatable to a specific program running in this moment or something similar. I THINK it started when upgrading from Leopard to Snow Leopard. I migrated all my programs, settings etc. from my Time Machine backup. (Of course, the hard way now would be to start again from a clean Snow Leopard install, but I'd like to save that work and and time if possible ...)

I posted the Kernel log from the last panic a few minutes ago below. Is it possible to read something helpful out of it? If yes, it would be nice if you could let me know as I am helpless investigating these lines ... Thanks a lot!

It looks like you have CoolBook installed. Any chance that you've gone a bit too far in undervolting your processor?
 
Hi tkermit,

thanks for your answer and sorry for replying late - after no answer after two days (knowing how quick the MacRumors forum is), I already gave up hope and didn't check until now. I had CoolBook installed for a test some time ago, but de-installed it so that it shouldn't be active anymore. (And only tried it for a few seconds.) However, as you can see it in my Kernel Panic it still must be somewhere on my computer so that I'll search for it. (Even if it doesn't cause the Kernel Panic, I still want to delete it.)

Thanks again for your help. If you or others know any other solutions, please let me know. Thanks!!!
