Kernel Panic problem - Please please help!!

@miroz

Dude, I would say 2 a day is still absolutely ridiculous considering we should be having NONE.

Unfortunately I get at least more than that and it saddens me.

You don't need the disk to perform a hardware test as far as I'm aware. Just boot and keep holding "d" before the apple logo appears. Although if you're having the same issue as the rest of us, my bet is that the test will come up all positive and no faults detected.

Here's my latest KP report ... happened after opening a webpage in Chrome. This is really starting to **** me off.

KingPro,

Have you seen this page?

http://thetahas.com/2011/02/05/finally-solved-my-i7-macbook-pro-crashes/

This person claims downgrading to 10.6.4 will fix the issues. I personally can't do that because I need 10.6.7 for the latest XCode and iOS SDKs. I've tried ad nauseum to downgrade the Gefore/NVIDIA kexts to no avail (I do not suggest this unless you know what you're doing as you could render your mac unbootable).

Let us know what the "Genius" bar has to say 😠

Thanks,

Danny

Still happening for me ... just ran the Apple Hardware Test (extensively which only took 30 min thankfully) ... it reported "no problems".

Still experiencing crashes at a rate of 5-10 a day. Happens usually when XCode/Photoshop are running.

Anyway we can file this with apple as an official issue?

I fixed it by uninstalling the MS Office 2011

Dunno... But it was annoying me too. Since I uninstalled, it hasnt froze ever since.

I too have ms office '11 installed, though I haven been freezing for the last few days. Is it possible at all that ms office would somehow interfere with the graphics driver? I highly doubt that, but I wouldn't be surprised since it is from redmond....

@Benjalamelami @miroz:

The issue we are seeing is not a "freeze" but a sudden "black screen". Also I do not have MS Office 2011 installed ( I have 2008 though )

Thanks for your input though.

Yeah, I removed them both (2008 & 2011). The Ms Office where working good till 10.6.4 update. Till then, they started rebooting the **** machine

Ok I've been running in Safe Mode for the past hour or two and NOT A SINGLE CRASH. I've been intentionally running hot too ... Adobe Photoshop, XCode, etc ... are all up and running well.

The only odd thing is Safari and Chrome will "hang" on pages they normally have no problems loading. i.e. Gmail. Chrome will eventually give an error message that allows you to close the window.

So this definitely has something to do with the kexts that are loaded in normal mode. Anyway ... food for thought.

Firefox runs perfectly though. Not sure if there's something Safari/Chrome specifically use like Quartz or something that is perhaps the root of these issues.

Guys.

I experienced, after a few days, the first freeze again without the MS Office suite (neither 2008 nor 2011) installed. The kinda freeze that actually leaves the black screen and leaves no option but to hard reboot the machine by holding the power button.

Now, I know its not hardware. I did put the original version of MacOX (10.6.3) and decided not to upgrade it. So far, It seems to be working like a charm. My MBP is a 2010 core i7 with 8 GB DDR3.

I do believe that the Office suite somehow, with the upgraded software MacOS X interfere much more. But there seems to be more software that bugs the OS when fully updated (I had 10.6.7).

Anyhow... I'll post again if any problems. I currently dont miss anything from the 10.6.7, and I feel more secure with my beautiful MacBook and I am running the MS suite again.

Hope this helps

See, if it is a software issue (unless the ASD has failed), in particular with the graphics, I wonder why it's only present on a few machines? Surely if this was a widespread issue there'd be heaps of people all over the net. The weird thing is, I was having this problem over a fresh install (updated), with nothing else but chrome and steam.

Also, for me anyway, the crashes are more likely to happen when waking straight after sleep.

Still getting a few kernel panics a day.

I has a sad.

Hey KingPro, how's the downgrade to 10.6.4 going? Still no crashes?
