Hey Guys,
I've loved my MBP so far, but I'm growing scared of it. I've installed extra 4gb ram chip, so my total memory would be 6gb, and it was running fine for the last few weeks. Starting last week I get random crashes, where screen dimms a little, and a wave goes down freezing and telling me I need to power down and restart my computer. What's funny, when I removed 2gb of ram and left it on the 4gb itself, it just did it again costing me 20 minutes of work on my term paper!
I'm really frustrated by this experience. Here are my questions:
1) How can I check what can be the problem?
2) Do you think memory combination causes it?
Below is my report I get on the crash:
