I just had another panic, why am I experiencing these?

Question

I just had another panic, why am I experiencing these?  I had a lot of windows open and I was using itunes.  I know I keep too many windows open. I will stop, I guess I overload my computer.  Any help is appreciated.  I do not like crashes or whatever we call this in the Mac community.Interval Since Last Panic Report:  260449 secPanics Since Last Report:          1Anonymous UUID:

If I&#x27;m reading this correctly, your last kernel panic (that&#x27;s what these are called) occured six months ago.  Is that correct?  It probably does not have anything to do with the number of windows you have open; I suspect it has to do with one of the third party kexts or non-apple hardware.  My guess would be something with parallels (is the software up to date?), but if you&#x27;re only getting panics at 6 month intervals it&#x27;s really hard to diagnose.  Kernel panics aren&#x27;t fun, but they aren&#x27;t the end of the world.  make sure you keep regular backups, and if you can figure out how to replicate the panic at a more frequent interval we can figure it out.
