Your Macbook Pro must be restarted...

Hey everyone,

I got my Macbook Pro 17'' at the last refresh, this past April 2010. Recently, I have been experiencing random freezes. First, this was happening when my computer was in sleep mode, and I would just have to hold down the power button to turn it off and back on.

Now, I get the "kernel panic" message, I would say at least once a day. This is where a box appears on my screen telling me that my computer must be restarted by holding down the power button. I love my new Mac, but after dealing with this daily, I called Apple (I have applecare), and I am sorry to say that the tech wasn't a very big help. He had me run the hardware test by putting in my OSX disk and holding "D" while I restart. The test showed no problems with the hardware, so the tech just told me to back up my information and reinstall OSX.

So, I have a few questions for the people of this board...does anyone have any other suggestions other than reinstalling my operating system? One of the main reasons I switched to a Mac was because of the stability of OSX, but I must say, in all the years I have had crappy Windows-based computers, I never once had to completely reinstall the operating system.

My other question is, if I do have to reinstall, if I bring it to the genius bar at the Mac store, can they do it all and back up all my info, reinstalling it onto my computer after they reinstall OSX? I have an external hard drive, but quite frankly, this is a pain in the ass to do, and since I paid almost $2500 for this thing, I was hoping that they could do it for me.

Other than this, my experience with switching to a Mac has been great, and I truly love the computer. I was a little disappointed in the technician, who seemed like he had zero interest in helping me fix my problem, but hey, what can I expect? I work for a cell phone company, and there are times where I have a hard time being enthusiastic about all my customers annoying issues with their hideous little phones :)

Thanks
 
weird...

what applications are you running when these freezes happen?

posting the log file would help to determine what's going on when it happens.

I assume you have done the basic troubleshooting - clear caches, repair permissions, run maintenance scripts, etc...?
 
yes apple will

ive had my macbook pro replaced. they had to swap mine out and they have an extermal hdd that they use time machine with to get all of your other stuff onto the new macbook pro. i would bring it there or make it easier just use time machine and back it up your self if you cant get it bring it to apple.

It happens at all different times...it has happened a few times when all I was doing is web browsing.
 
hmm truly disappointing, had my apple for 4 years and never experienced this issue, but you should have a continues time machine back up ALWAYS just incase you spill a drink on your computer or anything happens, so you can then just re install the os, and my buddies with there pc's tend to re install windows 7 2 time a month to clean it up and get rid of viruses and such, then migration assist your stuff back on, its a very simple process and i am sure apple would do it but i have very little hope in other people even if they are apple genius, =D

give me a haller if you have any other questions

I am having the same problem.
Has only happened 4 times. 3x in 3 consecutive days over a week ago, then not another crash until today. I think I was browsing the web.

About a month ago, I got new 15" 2.66 i7 mbp and restored my old machine from a Time Machine back-up. 1 week later did a RAM upgrade.

Possible it is a Flash crash? Or RAM related?

Well I haven't installed any RAM or anything, so I know its not related to that. Others suggested it had to do with things plugged into my USB port (phone charger, external HD, etc.), but it happens without that stuff.

I haven't checked out Time Machine at all, I think I'm going to start figuring that out before I bring it over to Apple.
 
If you bought AppleCare you could try running the TechTool that came in the Applecare box. It will do a basic check of all the components of your computer and may help you find what is going on.
 
Do you have creeping current on the Macbook's chassis (stroke it with two fingers, do you feel a tickling)?

When you connect an external display, powered USB hub or anything else that comes with its own power-supply, does touching the Macbook 's chassis around the USB/Displayport with the external connector cause a short sparkle/flash (turn off the light in the room to make it more visible)?

I don't feel any kind of current. I don't have anything with its own power supply to plug in and text. The things I plug into the USB port are my portable hard drive, which is USB powered, my iPod, and occasionally my cell phone charger. The freezes have happened many, many times with nothing plugged into the USB ports though.

OK, I figured it out...here is my last panic, which occurred this morning. I have plenty more logs to post if needed...

uff thats a bad one...
that last line says it all

I would have no idea how to solve that one, the only thing I can think of is a clean install...
i'm sure some of the other guys around here will know though :)

maybe the guys at applecare can tell you more if you show them the panic log.
 
Here's my latest. If anyone can read into this I would be grateful.

I am getting an identical log. My kernel panics began after I connected an external NEC display to the i7 15.4" MacBook Pro (2010 model).

My guess is that it is the graphics card. I am getting it replaced by Apple.

Thanks this is good to know.
I have i7 MBP hooked up to external monitor as well. (Each time I got that crash. 6-7 total)

Out of curiosity what type of connector does the NEC monitor use?

Any chance you had upgraded your ram with non-apple chips?
 
Like I wrote: Watch if you get electrical sparks when touching the Macbook with the connector of the external display (which has its own PSU/grounding).

I use the mini DisplayPort cable.

Yes, I got RAM upgraded through OWC. I sent the computer back to OWC for them to have a look and they tested the RAM - all is fine on that front.

Thanks for the info.

Are your crashes random and frequent?
Do they normally happen when web browsing?

Mine seem to happen when Safari is in focus and they happen very infrequently. At first it was 1-2 a day for a week, then not another for an entire week, then another about 9 days later.

Please do post here if you do go the route of getting the graphics card fixed by Apple and if it solves the issue.

The kernel panics are random, sometimes once or twice a day, then a gap of a couple days, then again, etc. Almost always I am browsing in Safari when this happens.

Sounds exactly like my issues.

I had one person review the log and they stated it could be Flash initiating the problem when it accesses system resources.

Not sure if this is 100% correct about the flash, but I would still consider this a MBP issue as my iMac don't crash from Flash.
 
If it's Flash then it could be the latest 10.1 update that included *hardware*-acceleration. This is a good thing, but maybe the Nvidia driver doesn't play nice. Your Imac likely has ATI drivers, doesn't it?

Indeed it does and excellent theory Timur ~ thank you. This pretty much could explain it all.

The MacBook is new and the issue has only been recent so I just assumed it was the specific machine or the RAM or something since I upgraded it.

If this is in fact a driver issue it makes me feel a whole bunch better about this new machine.

Maybe it's time to try one of those Safari extensions that blocks flash (if exists). Been meaning to check extensions out. I can test out if I even miss all the ads and sluggishness when browsing. ;)
