Kernel panic: Quick Look crash
My MacBook Pro Retina is crashing hard when using Quick Look.
Scenario:
I preview a few dozen image files (large JPGs, PNGs and/or Photoshop files) in the Finder by selecting the files and pressing the space bar. Then I press the 4-box button to see a grid of thumbnails and scroll through the list. After repeating this process a few times the Mac will reliably crash.
The crash looks like this:
- The UI freezes momentarily
- I say "Oh s##t! Not again!"
- There is a brief flicker of colourful line art
- Blackness
- Grey screen
- Box with "Your computer restarted because of a problem..." in several languages.
Console output:
Every time this happens, Console creates a .panic file and sends off a report to Apple.
Summary:
I'm able to reproduce this issue reliably. If I use Quick Look, it will cause a kernel panic. If I don't use it, no problems. My Mac is otherwise stable — no problems. I should also mention that I recently built this Mac up from scratch (i.e., wiped the drive and installed Mountain Lion). I did this because of this problem so I don't think reinstalling the OS again will help.
Hardware:
MacBook Pro Retina 15"
256 GB SSD
8 GB RAM
2.3 GHz Intel Core i7
Intel HD Graphics 4000 512 MB
OS X 10.8.2
Has anyone else experienced this problem? This seems like a problem that needs to addressed in a software update.
MacBook Pro with Retina display, OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.2)
