Why is my tower restarting itself?

Hi Grant - thanks so much for responding...

the panic screen only happens rarely - and the AC cord is seated nicely...not the issue here at all.

Simply: after 8 minutes, quite consistently, the Tower restarts itself, and depending on the day,

will be fine after that for the whole day, or will require one or two more hard restarts.

How can I suss out what this is? I have done a lot of online searching, and haven't found others with this issue.

Hey guys, here is what I found...:

Thanks Linc, will do...

Thanks John, I'll look into this...

Hey guys,

Linc had mentioned that 'Your system is stuffed with third-party kernel code'

How can I interpret some of that Kernel data so that I can un-install a bunch of

other things that might be the cause of these issues?

I just don't know where to start on this...

thanks in advance...

Henri

Hey guys...so, after removing a small handful of these, most notably Little Snitch (the others listed above are actually important pro-audio items), my computer restarted itself about 8 times, and needed to be force shutdown

about 3...

Any thoughts??

I will post the lastest Kernel panic log, as well as the Core Audio crash log...perhaps that will provide you with some clues?

Again, any help is hugely appreciated

best,

H

Hi all...well, I'm sorry to say that I'm still confounded by this issue. At this point, having removed a few of the suggested items (the others are necessary pro audio drivers), my tower goes through several restarts on it's own, then a few kernel panics (requiring a forced shutdown, which denies me getting a panic report unfortunately).

Do I need to drag my machine into a Genius bar? Hire a tech?

Any further help on how to proceed would be highly appreciated.

This is the Kernel version info I got from Terminal:

Darwin hy-macpro.local 10.8.0 Darwin Kernel Version 10.8.0: Tue Jun 7 16:33:36 PDT 2011; root:xnu-1504.15.3~1/RELEASE_I386 i386

thanks in advance,

Henri
