Hi all,
I have had a number of issues with my MacBook Pro lately, and I am looking to find out how to solve them. The specs:
13 inch, mid 2009 MBP
OS X 10.8.5
2,26 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
8 GB 1333 MHz DDR3
NVIDIA GeForce 9400M 256 MB
(I know, it's getting old)
First of all, I am planning to buy a Samsung 840 EVO SSD drive to replace the stock HHD. But before doing that, I want to rule out any other hardware problem (because if there would be one, maybe I can replace that one too). However, I cannot run Apple Hardware Test because my MBP did not come with AHT or installation disks, and the model is too old to run AHT via internet. I have not yet found another solution, so I was wondering if anyone could help me with that.
Second, my MBP crashes all the time when I play games on it. Before crashing, it becomes pretty hot (86 degrees Celcius at the CPU A Temperature Diode) and the fan starts running at high speeds. After rebooting, the log reveals a kernel panic, but I am not enough of an expert to decipher what it says exactly. It's a very short log, too, I have seen many longer ones. Here is the log:

I was wondering if anyone could tell me whether this is a hardware problem, or if something else causes the kernel panics.
Thanks in advance!
