Another Mountain Lion Crash

Hi,

I have just had Mountain Lion crash, and not for the first time in the last few weeks. Neither the keyboard or trackpad were responding so I had to do a hard reset.

There was no crash report, but I have copied the following from the console report, there are a few recurring errors, but can anyone suggest what may have gone wrong?

Are those the last log messages to be written before you rebooted? Was an iOS device connected? If so, does the failure occur only when that device is connected?

Hi,

I think these were the last messages before I rebooted. The Mac froze just as I was opening an incoming mail (ironically it was from Apple Support re another issue). The only programmes I had open were iTunes, Mail and Print programme.

The only devices connected were the wired keyboard and printer and NAS connected through network.

It initially crashed around 7.40pm, but I didn't reboot until around 20:20 after dinner. I have posted some of the messages around the time of reboot (immediately below) and other messages further down when it crashed around 19.40

All help gratefully received.

Sorry I should also add that previous crashes (around one every 2-3 weeks) seem to be random, although more than often it seems to be happen when I have Mail open on full screen and am using it.

The logic board or GPU needs to be replaced.

OK thanks - can I ask how you know it is that and not a software failure.

Are there any utilities I can use to test them both?

I have a late 2007 iMac.

The Apple Hardware Test, but it's usually a waste of time. A negative result means nothing.

Linc,

Just to update on this, as you rightly said it was a hardware issue (although it appeared to me to look like a software issue). The engineer re-soldered the GPU rather than replace the entire logic board. Apparently it is quite a common problem. Am pleased to say that since the repair the Mac has not frozen once, whereas it was freezing on a daily basis.

Thanks

Russ
