MAC OSX starting to frequently quit on new Macbook.

[twodollars]

I bought my white Macbook in April and love it so far, but I've had a few problems that are starting to grow in frequency. Namely Safari quiting and now OSX quiting, giving me a message that it has quit and tells me to hold down the power button to restart. When it happened last (five minutes ago), I got this error message;

No idea what the problem is as this is my first Mac. I don't push it very hard and only have a few things open at a time normally. So can anyone figure out what the problem may be?

Thanks in advance.

I immediately thought bad memory when I saw this, but I very well may be wrong. I would use your system DVD"s to run hardware diagnostics.

 

[r.j.s]

Do you have anything plugged in USB/FW when this happens?

 

[twodollars]

I've had my Blackberry tethered via USB at least a few times (including most recent) this has happened, but I can't say every time for sure.

 

[r.j.s]

^^ That might be the cause of it. It looks like some USB device is causing the panic.

 

[twodollars]

Damn, any idea why? I've had a ton of issues with my Blackberry/Macbook the past month. When I connected via BT my phone would constantly lock up and then it just stopped syncing via USB on anything, Verizon couldn't even get it to work. I got a replacement and now only tether via USB (it's faster anyway) but obviously problems on the Mac side now.

I just moved recently for a new job and live in an area without any high speed internet, so I depend on my tethering, as well as my phone and Mac. Lame...

 

[r.j.s]

I don't know why it would.

 

[Eidorian]

USB and BT appear to be major cause of panics and system freezes under OS X. The BT daemon tends to go wild sometimes. My experience is with weird USB behavior.

Safari is the next candidate.

 

[twodollars]

Considering calling Apple, but if it really is USB/BT, then I know I'll probably just get the run around. I know for sure RIM and Verizon won't help.

 

[twodollars]

Oh BTW where in Indiana are you from? I just moved from Warsaw to Utah.

Call Apple, or take it to the Apple store.

Indianapolis recently. I was Lafayette for 5 years beforehand.

You can try looking through your system logs to see if it identifies the culprit by name right there in the system crash log.

 

[twodollars]

Kinda what I figured, my three month phone support just ran out so they couldn't really help me. I mentioned my phone issue and she didn't see how they would connect, told me to reinstall OSX or take it to the Apple store.

Did you ever tell them about this problem before your phone support ran out? Because in most company's warrantees, any problem that you brought to their attention before the warrantee expiration date arrived is still supposed to be covered by the warrantee support until the problem you raised earlier has been solved, regardless of if the expiration date has passed.

 

[twodollars]

No, the problem started before the support ran out but today was the first day that I called. I shrugged off the few Safari issues and didn't become concerned about OSX shutting down till the third time it happened. Everything else I thought was related to the phone but maybe not. Don't have a way to get to the Apple store for now and my restore discs are back in Indiana.
