I don't understand why my computer keeps saying that it restarted because of a problem.

Question

Almost every night, after I put my computer to sleep, I get that error message. Mac Pro (Early 2008) Intel Xeon E5462 @ 2.8GHz, 16GB Ram, Mac OS x 10.8.2.I am starting to think maybe there is a hardware problem? But I want to verify that it can&#x27;t be a software problem before I take it in for repairs. Ideally I&#x27;d like to fix it myself because my AppleCare expired since it was from Early 2008. This problem only started happening in the last month or two. Asides from these random weird issues and shutdowns, the computer works very well. Super fast, responsive, and enjoyable to work with.Oh, and one other thing. Lately I&#x27;ve been getting the repeated error message saying the disk drive couldn&#x27;t burn because it couldn&#x27;t get the right power level to calibrate the laser or something.Thank you for your help!Interval Since Last Panic Report:  177950 secPanics Since Last Report:          4Anonymous UUID:                    861229B8-EC91-9C78-E4EA-E4C621F602DEThu Dec 27 22:26:46 2012panic(cpu 5

Also, another puece of info: I have been using a brand new SSD and it works great, and had done a clean install on it. So I don&#x27;t think there are too many problems with it. I have tried repairing permissions and also did a Safe boot twice to try to fix any problems. Also tried an SMC reset and Pram reset but it still seems to have the same issue.

The hatter · Answer

With any SSD, step #1: make sure the firmware is current. How you clone or install the OS also can differ. Linc has a 2008 and 10.8.2 but then I would expect his system to be rock solid. Same cannot be said for more than a few 3,1 owners that... all the issues with power management and panics vanish if they go back or dual boot and keep both, when they use 10.6.8 instead. And of course ML and Lion dropped support for PowerPC code, drivers - a good reason to do a clean install and not carry any older apps, drivers and plugins with the new system.

Linc Davis · Answer

That panic seems to have been caused by the LaCie drive, or the LaCie software. Remove both and test.

The hatter · Answer

LaCie posted drivers and firmware for some units, some older units fall by the wayside. OWC has not faced such problems with their units.

This is a good point. I am going to reinstall the OS again on my SSD so I dfon&#x27;t have any possible issues like that. i had tried to install some Lacie Kext file to use USB 3.0, but I&#x27;m not sure if that&#x27;s causing the issue. Only way to find out is to get rid of it.Additionally, some other helpful info... I disconnected all external peripherals, and so far the computer seems to not be having the issue. Will keep you updated.

Another helpful piece of info... I removed a second (older) graphics card that was installed in my computer. It&#x27;s possible that that could have been causing the issue as well. Though after removing it, i still had a couple of random restarts like the one I described earlier, so it&#x27;s no likely the cause.
