Consistent Kernel Panics
Hello everyone,
I have an iMac. It's about three years old, running OS X version 10.6.8, 3.06 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo. Let me know if any other info would be helpful. This explaination may be a mouthful, so in advance, I appreciate your patience.
I've had an issue with kernel panics about as long as I can remember having the machine and have never seemed to be about to find the reason. I've had numerous called with Applecare, run disk checks, verifications, P-RAM resets, OS re-instals, etc.
Last week it got the worst its been and wouldn't get past the grey start up screen so I took it in to an Apple store. The looked at it for about five minutes and said the hard drive was damaged and needed to be replaced. They kept it for a week. I am a graphic designer, so this doesn't help a normal business flow. I got the machine back, started it up, ran Time Machine, and beyond that it lasted three minutes before it kernel panicked again.
Previously, I didn't seem to be able to find a reason for the panics, but this time the only program I was running was Firefox. I poked around on here and found some people with similar problems. So, I got rid of Firefox and have been running Chrome since. It went three whole days without a panic, but last night got four in a row.
PLEASE HELP. Applecare really has not helped at all. Additionally, I'm starting to suspect there was never really anything wrong with the hard drive to begin with...a guy I work with gave me a sled to try to retreive some files off the old drive, which hooked up fine, and seemed in normal working order.
I think that's it. Thanks for any thoughts or suggestions. Let me know if theres any other info that may help.
Lastly, here is the report from the latest panic.
