Mid 2010 macbook pro with 10.8. It crashes every now and then

Did that, still same problem. However this crash report (the most recent one) seems to be incomplete. Does not include all the com.apple.x.x stuff. I dont know why i keep going back to thinking its a graphics problem but im not expert. I'll post a detailed crash report (if i see it) after the next crash 🙂

Here it is the present one for reference

what am i looking for in the safe boot?

Just boot with safe boot and use the macbook normally?

done, lets see how it goes!!

will know better later in the day....will update the post!!

Thanks!!

didnt help!

It happened again!

here is the crash report.....seems like com.apple.NVDAResman and the IOPCI and graphics are the cause which points me towards graphics again.

What do you guys think? Any experts?

There is no specific program or a couple that cause the crash. It just crashes randomly. Sometimes when im using facebook, sometimes when i use vlc, even with MS word.

The genius at the apple store did a hardware test (25 minutes) and said that there was nothing wrong with the Hardware - the GPU or the logic board. Is there any other test that you are referring to?

So I went to the apple store again today. They ran some tests and looked at the logs that i have pasted above. Based on that the Genius decided that it was actually a hardware problem and that the logic board needs to be replaced. I'll know if that solves my problem in a couple of days when i get the laptop back.

Fingers crossed 🙂

Almost a day and a half and no crash so far. Seems like changing the logic board did the trick for me! 😀
