Kernel Panic Help

I've been having recurrent kernel panics going on a year now.

Have taken to Genius Bar many times with reinstalled OS. Seems to help for a while, but then recurs.

Please help!

Kernel Panics are predominately caused by hardware faults and faulty third-party kernel extensions.

"Page fault" is a reference to memory not owned by the task that is running, possible RAM issue.

You can post your Kernel Panic report in their entirety here, preferable three separate reports in three separate "Additional Text" box (see menu below) for ease of reading and comparison. A single report may be useful but does not establish a trend for a meaningful diagnosis.

Kernel Panic reports can be found /Library/Logs/DiagnosticReports

From the Finder>Go>Go To Folder, copy and paste:

/Library/Logs/DiagnosticReports

ends in .panic post the whole report if it meets that.

<page fault, registers>

this is another page fault. cf your 1st post as indicated above.

I suspect you have bad RAM— and this does not always show because RAM is randomized.

the macOS slightly randomizes the load point of key routines on each startup and get the causes a" marginal memory cell" to move.— that is to say hit or miss if it will panic.

You can print those 3 out and take them back to the Apple store with you if in doubt.

Make an appointment for a "hardware issue"—

If the issue is RAM/hardware, what is the fix? Is there one?

Here's another one -- the first I got a week ago after several weeks without them.

See if this is you—

This has proprietary Apple RAM— Apple

it is possible mac sales/OWC would have a replacement. Before throwing money at it I would very verify with Apple.
