My 2010 macbook pro 13 frequently crashes. This happens at times when its not under load, like using safari. I had inserted the mac osx disk and erased my harddrive. While reinstalling it the same it continued to crash during installation. Whats suggested? It gets to the point that I restart it and it freezes or crashes before it logs into my account.

Is it still considered a kernel panic if nothing poped up on the screen(ex. please restart...)? It just freezes and cannot move the curser
That is harder to deal with. Sometimes your Mac will store a "Hang Report" in a similar place to where the panic reports are stored. Your best bet may be to open Activity Monitor, and have it displaying CPU usage. When something goes carzy and uses all the CPU, you will see it in the display.

And just to clerify something, the kernel log is retrieved from the restarting while pressing shift? Sorry for my lack of ignorance and thanks for the advice.
Well I couldn't retreive any kernel logs. I reinstalled Mac OS X after erasing it and still have the same problem. What I did notice is that I can use the macbook for an 1 hour, until it starts making a buzzing sound like a fan. And from there on it crashes everytime until I leave it alone for couple of hours. Might be a heat related issue? I'll monitor the cpu today.
