New Macbook Pro - Kernel Panic?

[Sammio2]

Hey guys,

Just registered here because i'm a new mac user, and it looks like a great place to get help and advice. I've just brought a Macbook pro 2.5Ghz, 4GB RAM, 15" Matte Screen. I've been using it for about two weeks now, in the run up to university, and been loving it. The other day, i connected up my FW400 external hard drive for time machine, i'm using it with a partition of 200GB for backup and 250GB for media.

Anyway, it was all fine, everything working great. Untill i left it in sleep mode for about 3 hours, i then opened it up and got a kernel panic. I initially thought nothing of it, and restarted, to find that my DNS server settings had been wiped!?. Anyway, i reset those, then was trying to use front row, when it froze, i think this was because time machine was backing up onto the drive and spotlight was trying to index the drive at the same time (I've sorted this now). But i then got another kernel panic!?

I have run a system file check in single user mode, and everything checked out okay. Should i be worried about this? I really do not want to have to send this to apple because i start uni in a week, and i really need this laptop.

Many Thanks
Sam

Can you dig out you panic.log, I think it is in /Library/Logs/ (it may be in a sub folder in there). It will provide an insight into what is causing the problems.

I recommend updating to Mac OS X 10.5.4.

Did you buy it from an Apple Store? If you did, go back and get a replacement computer, or go back to the seller and do an exchange.

 

[Sammio2]

Yes i brought it from Apple, but through their online store. As i said in origional post, i really can't take the laptop back, i think i have isolated the problem, it happens when i plug my USB soundcard into my mac via a powered USB hub. This is really random, has anyone heard of this happening before?

 

[Sammio2]

Sorry guys, i have been a total nub. I have just found this...

"many USB hubs have been known to cause problems with Digidesign hardware that run via USB, such as the MBox, MBox2, and Command8. These devices need to plugged directly into the computer and NOT into the hub."

Thanks for your suggestions anyway, and sorry for wasting your time

I shall now hopefully not have any issues
