From what I've seen, there's a few telling facts in these panic reports that can help decipher which part needs attention. Unfortunately, I still need help interpreting which is the part in my case. Below is the most recent report, which came from the window that pops up after I am forced to restart, not necessarily what would be in panic.log... Panic.log is not on my system for some reason... At any rate, these panics have happened while I was composing using Sibelius 6, and while I was playing World Of Warcraft (not simultaneously, of course).
