Kernel Panics since 10.7.3 update
Upgraded to Lion 10.7.3 two days ago and getting one grey screen of death / kernel panic every day since then
Anyone seen this?
I have a few suspects:
- 3rd party RAM - this has worked fine until now, but previous experience taught me it can still cause issues after a system update
- Dropbox - because the panic is in WindowServer and it does some funky overlaying of icons on the Finder which uses a lot of CPU - it's admittedly a really weak candidate.
- Adobe Flash - was prompted to update but didn't. Updating now. Flash is such crap...
Oh yeah prior to the 10.7.3 update I *never* had kernel panics. Ever. So it's not some generic hardware issue.
