Kernel panic on macbook pro early 2011 clean install with no HD backup on it

suddenly, my Macbook pro early 2011 wouldn’t start up and i would have a white screen for days. When it did start up i decided to erase its HD and reinstall mac os on it, but i didnt make a backup for it..

i first tried internet recovery to reinstall macos on it but i kept getting this “unknown error”. I already tried fixing the date on terminal with the date and time of Brasil, where i live in, and from Orlando where i originally bought it but with no success.

I then proceeded to clean install mac os snow leopard 10.6 (which was its retail version which came with the notebook) but when i ran it, i kept getting a Kernel panic cpu problem which kept asking me to restart my mac turning into a loop.

I searched the web on how to fix it. And i found a solution through terminal, but i cant get to it because my hd was erased and i have no back up for it.

Do you guys have any ideas on how to fix it?

regards,

michael chow

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