Hello everyone,

After installing 4GB of RAM on my unibody macbook pro, I get a kernel panic error. Am I right that the problem is about CPU? Is that mean that it is dying or broken? :( Can you help me?

Here what is said:

the kernel panic seems to be coming from the nvidia drivers HAL (hardware abstraction layer). I would try removing the ram upgrade and going back to the original ram and see if that helps.
 
Yeap, it's definitely the graphics card.
Do you have an integrated chipset? (meanin it doesn't have dedicated ram)

Integrated: NVidia 9400M
For high performance: Nvidia 9600M GT

So there is a problem with video card not ram??
 
so so
if you can somehow boot it wile using the dedicated card and not the intigrated we could get a better insight.
because atm there is no way of telling if its the ram or the gfx.
 
It seems that, the error only occurs while playing wow. Used other heavy graphical games and programs, and there were no panics. Hmmm very interesting.

Anyway, thank you all for your thoughts. :)
