Random Kernal Panic in Moutain Lion 10.8.2

Question

Hello everyone!  I&#x27;m pretty new to the Mac World, so i apologize for any dumb questions...but my notebook just randomly kernal panics.   I&#x27;ve repaired disk permissions and even used Disk Warrior to no avail.  It doesn&#x27;t happen daily, but it still is pretty annoying..Below is my Panic Log, i greatly appreciate any help and your time.  Thank you in advance._____________________________________Interval Since Last Panic Report:  619131 secPanics Since Last Report:          1Anonymous UUID:

That panic was not caused by third-party software. If it&#x27;s happened only once, and is not repeated in at least a few thousand hours of use, a reasonable choice would be to ignore it. Machines don&#x27;t work perfectly. They never will.If the problem is recurrent, the possibilities are (1) a damaged OS X installation; (2) a fault in a peripheral device, if any; (3) an internal hardware fault; and (4) an obscure bug in OS X.You can rule out the first two possibilities by reinstalling the OS and testing with non-essential peripherals disconnected and aftermarket expansion cards removed, if applicable. Sometimes a clean reinstallation (after erasing the startup volume) may solve a problem that isn&#x27;t solved by reinstalling in place, without erasing.If you&#x27;ve recently upgraded the memory, reinstall the original memory and see whether there&#x27;s any improvement. Be careful not to touch the gold contacts on the memory modules when handling them. If necessary, clean them with a mild solvent such as rubbing alcohol.The Apple Hardware Test, though generally unreliable, will sometimes detect a fault. A negative test can&#x27;t be depended on. Run the extended version of the test.In the category of obscure bugs, reports suggest that FileVault may trigger kernel traps under some unknown conditions. Most, though not all, of these reports seem to involve booting from an aftermarket SSD. If those conditions apply to you, try deactivating FileVault.Otherwise, make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store to have the machine tested. You may have to leave it there for several days. There isn&#x27;t much point in doing this unless you can reproduce the panic, or if you can&#x27;t, it happens often enough that it&#x27;s likely to be repeated at the store. Otherwise you may be told that nothing is wrong.Print the first page of the panic report and bring it with you.Back up all data on the internal drive(s) before you hand over your computer to anyone. If privacy is a concern, erase the data partition(s) with the option to write zeros* (do this only if you know how to restore, and you have at least  two independent backups.) Don’t erase the recovery partition, if present.*An SSD doesn&#x27;t need to be zeroed.

Thank you for the info Linc!  Very helpful. It used to happen everyday, but after running Disk Warrior it was almost a week with any Kernal Panics.  I think just a reinstall of the OS X will fix the issue, but i&#x27;ll run the Apple Hardware Test before i do a reinstall just to see what it comes up with.  Again, thank you for your time and advice...i greatly appreciate it!
