MBP restarts everytime I open Pages app

I have a MBP mid 2010 with Mavericks on it.

Lately, every time I am writing on the new Pages, the computer restarts and then displays this message: http://img571.imageshack.us/img571/6194/aa6u.jpg

After, it doesn't restart anymore, and it's always just a few minutes after I open Pages and write on it... then after the restart it doesn't restart anymore, but when I first open it, it always restarts.

Any help, please?

It's a kernel panic. Without digging into system.log quite impossible to diagnose as there may be arbitrary number of reasons.
 
I'd file a bug report with Apple. They can walk you through the process of creating kernel dump files in order to investigate what is going on.

I don't know what happened there. But I have an update to my problem:

since computer keeps restarting when I write on Pages, I started writing on Microsoft Word - but the problem was even worse in Word, it restarted before I even wrote anything and this problem was displayed:

If you look at the first line

panic(cpu 2 caller 0xffffff7fa01bcfac): "GPU Panic:
Click to expand...

You can see that it is a GPU panic. In your case it is related to a faulty graphics card in some Mid 2010 MBPs. You can read the Apple support article here for more information: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4088

That article states Apple will replace bad graphics cards up to 3 years after date of purchase free of charge, regardless of warranty status. It would be in your best interest to call Apple Care or go to the Genius Bar as soon as possible. If you're past three years, it is possible they will make an exception and do the repair for free anyway, but that's not a guarantee.

For more reference here is an Apple Support article about kernel panics and troubleshooting: http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3742
And a fairly technical article about understanding and debugging kernel panics: https://developer.apple.com/library/mac/technotes/tn2063/_index.html

If you are unaware, the kernel is the part of the OS that lets programs communicate with the hardware. Because of this, kernel panics are almost always related to third party driver issues. In your case, however, it is a hardware problem.

I had excactly the same problem with my old macbook 2010, I went to Apple store and unfortunately my macbook was 3 months off the 3 years form the date of purchase and they did not make an exception to replace my motherboard for free. I ended up selling my macbook and buying the new retina 15 inch, (im having issues with yellow tints now). this is really truoblesome..

Sorry to hear that. I think Apple switched to AMD graphics for a while because Nvidia was underperforming in terms of quality control. My original pre-unibody 2008 MBP had a faulty Nvidia card that would overheat and fry the entire logic board. Luckily mine happened about 2 months before the 4 year limit and I was able to get it replaced for free. I hope both you and OP are able to get your issues sorted out.

You are right on with this. I had the same problem and the Apple store tested it and I got a free logic board.

To the OP:

Get you're computer tested at the Apple store ASAP and hopefully you're still under the extended warranty! You can also use gfxCardStatus to force your iGPU to run all the time to stop your kernel panics.
 
Thank you so much for your help. I scheduled the first appointment available with a genius, which will be tomorrow.

As for the 3 years... I need to check my receipt because I bought it 3 years ago, I just can't remember whether was it in november or december... hopefully december but still, if not, I hope they'll make an exception 'cause one month isn't too long.

I will post here what happened.

Thank you again!

Can you check your serial number on Apple's support site? If your issue is what I think it is, there's a good chance you'll be covered anyway.
 
dimi94941 said:
I did, but no luck, it's not covered anymore, because I one-year warranty of course expired and I don't have Apple Care.

If Apple tests your computer and this is the issue you get 3 years from your date of purchase. It's like a extended warranty just for this problem. If the date you bought the computer is less then 3 years from when you bring it in it should be free no matter if you have AppleCare or not. That's how I got it and how the support page says it works.
 
Well, I went to the Apple Genius and that was exactly the problem. And they didn't even bother to check the 3 year purchase or anything, they told me right away that it's gonna be free.

If it weren't for you guys, I wouldn't even know what the problem was let alone fix it, so thank you very much for your help. I'm so glad it'll finally get fixed.
