My laptop keeps crashing within 2 minutes of me booting it up again. The report has said things about watchdog, kernel panic and CPU caterr. I've tried everything like booting it into safe mode, factory resetting it and doing a hardware test but nothing seems to work.
MacBook Air 13″, 11.1
If that is all there is to the panic log, it looks like a hardware problem. Take it to an Apple Store or Authorized Repair Center for evaluation.
Post the full panic log in the Additional Text Area, here in a reply.

It looks like a document icon in the toolbar.

If you need additional information just ask.
How do you fix this kernel panic problem?
