About a year ago I upgraded to the 4GB sticks of memory and the Samsung EVO detailed above. Ever since, I have had several kernel panics. Lately, the frequency has increased dramatically, with at least 1 per week. Do the details above shed any light on the cause? Should I be looking for something in particular in the kernel panic report? Thanks for any help.
