Hey guys, about last spring my mac started having kernel panics. which would cause the screen to go black, but the keyboard would still be lit up. However the computer would not be responsive and I would have to power down the computer.
I took it to the mac store and the genius said the diagnostic is that the hardware is fine and it was a software problem. She went on to explain that the computer had an incorrect number of threads and that could be causing the panics. So she ran a program and that seemed to work for awhile.
Jump to present day and I'm back at school and I'm experiencing 2-3 panics a day and running the mac osx install cd did nothing.
Except now chrome crashes any time I hit command t or right click even after re-installing. :(


Will a clean install work? How does one even go about that?

thanks guys.

Post your Console logs just after the next crash occurs, then we can see what's causing the problem (hopefully).
 
I have the same problem. I get 2-3 freezes a day and the only option is to press the power button untill it shuts down. very annoying...

You're in luck!
