Kernel Panics occurring with no apparent pattern in Mountain Lion X
Greetings.
Last week, I have upgraded my OS from Snow Leopard to Mountain Lion. Since then I have repeatedly suffered kernel panic crashes, once, twice or three times a day, whilst working in any of the following applications: Final Cut Pro 7 (in a separate folder in Application), Final Cut Pro X, Compressor 3 (again in a separate folder in Applications) and 4. I usually have more than one application open at the time, such as Photoshop and After Effects CS5.5 in the background, though idle at the time of these crashes, and Safari and Mail. I note that I also have Automap installed which application insists on launching (and remaining "alive") even though I have not launched either Garageband or Logic. (See thread https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4345612?answerId=19901443022#19901443022)
Anyway, my diagnostics and counter measures have included, more or less in the order listed:
- verifying and repairing disk permissions;
- veryfing the disk (from the recovery disk after a restart cmd+R);
- performing a MemTest;
- clean re-install of OSX Mountain Lion (again from the recovery disk);
- zapping PRam (restart cmd+alt+p+r, about six chimes);
- removing varoious login items (including Transmit, LaCie, Livescribe and Bamboo items);
Still the kernel panics persisted. They often seem to occur at drag (and drop) actions between application or finder windows. However, they have also occurred just like that, during an export of video from FCP7 or a finder copy action without any mouse or keyboard input.
In the end, I have completely restored a system from the Time Machine from a week earlier. This probably means that the login items are back as is the original Mountain Lion installation.
So, today the iMac crashed again. I will paste the panic report below.
I hope all this makes sense. Please forgive me, I am an experienced Mac user but I do not have a technical background in IT, nor an aptitude for it.
Does anybody have an idea to what the problem might be and what I should possibly do to correct it? I appreciate any reader for spending their time.
So thank you.
