[ceezy3000]

You could try to reinstall the OS again, but I would contact AppleCare with your concerns; it does sound like another hardware failure.

At this point, a replacement is still unlikely, but it never hurts to make the suggestion (politely, of course).

Good luck.

Take out the 3rd party RAM, and then retry installing the OS.

 

[ceezy3000]

there is NO THIRD PARTY RAM! ive only had this computer 4 3 months!

 

[EricNau]

Try reinstalling the OS as Sun Baked suggested; it may be a failed update that is currently causing your problems.

A few suggestions.

- Start the Mac in target mode and run utilities on the disk from another mac (disk warrior, disk utility)
- Reinstall the latest combo update
- Reset the PRAM
- Start in safe mode (hold shift)
- Re-seat your RAM
- Try to think if the problem coincided with the addition of new hardware or software. If so, try removing this.

Did you try resetting the PRAM and SMC prior to installation?? It might not do anything to rectify the problem but it could be that the PRAM is corrupted.

Please, don't suggest that he reinstall again. This sounds like a classic case of trying to fix a hardware problem with a software solution. This Mac needs to go back to Apple (I presume it's still under warranty), along with some sharp words about how tech support made a dumb repair suggestion.

For sure! I had similar issues with a new Mac Pro and I finally took it back. If you have an apple store close by, make an appointment and take it to them directly. Its one of those things that you just dont know. Could be a processor or could be the OS, for that matter may even be a hard drive error keeping you from installing the os (ie from your kernel panic above: Mac OS version:Not yet set). I took mine in on a Friday and picked it up on that Sunday. If you get someone good at the bar, they will check for all available parts.

IMPORTANT NOTE: There was an issue posted on the Apple forums about a mac book pro having kernel panics and it was a loose wire touching something (which solved a lot of peoples errors). Im trying to find the post, but cant seem to locate it. Might try searching there. Hope this helps.
