Problems after wake-up, kernel and battery

I have a Macbook Pro 2.2 GHz i7 4GB 1333 MHz DDR3 with OS X 10.8.2 that is having some problems with Kernel going crazy and battery not being recognized after I put the computer to sleep and then I wake it up.

Some more information in here https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4748160?answerId=21221254022#21221254022

Now I have discovered that the problem happens when I wake up my Macbook. At firts I thought that the problem was related to problems with the network, then I thought that it was temperature related (but the temperature has always been low...) and then I realized that when waking up the computer, the computer will wake up with a gray screen and then problems will start.

Anybody having similar problems ?

You can see in the picture that temperature is low, kernel has gone crazy and that battery is not being recognized. By the way, Battery healt is OK according to coconut.

MacBook Pro, OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.2)

OK..... after trying things like checking permits, reseting PRAM, checking the HD, etc, I decided to open my MBP and do some cleaning just in case this could be the cause. My MBP temperature has never been high so I didn't think this was going to do a difference.

At first sight, the inside of the MBP didn't look too dirty but when it was time to dust the fans, a lot of junk came out. Took out the memories and also dusted all the contactors.

Closed everything, started the MBP and guess what.... my battery is back and the Kernel is working fine. I even notice now that my memory is not leaking as fast as before. Hopefully the dust was the cause and that the fix will last.
