Q: How do I resolve OS 10.8 kernal panics / crashes that occur most frequenly when waking up from sleep mode?
I get a lot of gray screens of death on my MacBook Pro ever since I went to OS 10.8. Never had issues with the 10.6 versions and now miss those days. The kernal panics seem to occur most frequently just waking it up from sleep, regardless of where i am or what is attached to it. I can't help but wonder if it is a problem with the video drivers under 10.8.x.
I get these daily, so here is the log that gets sent to Apple, but I'm not really sure anyone looks at them. Perhaps they would if other people experienced the problem too, but perhaps I'm in the vast minority.

Do you see things like described here: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4088
If so, or even if they don't, you should take your MBP into an Apple Store or Apple Certified Service center along with a printout of that article. They will test it to see if it is that problem and replace the logic board for free up to three years from date of purchase. That time is likely close or already passed.
