MacBook Air Crashing 2012

Hey Guys Mike here, and my Mid-2012 Macbook Air has been crashing alot latly. When i was trying to write this letter, it surprislingy crashed! It crahsed 3 times today or about twice a week. When it crashes a the sytem freezes for 1 seconds and then it shuts off. A white Screen with a faded power button symbol (in the background) tells me a error has occured. I have no clue why, or if a application is doing this. I can give you all the error codes for the resoing behind this if you wish. Apple has told me that it may happen due to a third party application.

I am running on the latest version of Mountain Lion: 10.8.3

Processor 1.8 GHz Intel Core i5

Memory 4 GB 1600 MHz DDR3

Graphics Intel HD Graphics 4000 512 MB

If you have more than one user account, you must be logged in as an administrator to carry out these instructions.

Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:

☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)

☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.

☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.

Select the most recent panic log under the heading System Diagnostic Reports on the left. If you don't see that heading, select

View ▹ Show Log List

from the menu bar. Post the entire contents of the panic report — the text, please, not a screenshot. In the interest of privacy, I suggest you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header and body of the report, if it’s present (it may not be.) Please don't post shutdownStall, spin, or hang reports.
