Last week, I updated with Software Update and my Macbook has been crashing ever since. It often does it about 10 - 30 minutes after I log on and sometimes when it's still on the apple logo after powering it up.
The software I installed on 9/4/13 was
MacBook, Mac OS X (10.6.8), Model 2,1
You can try running Disk Utility and repairing drive and repairing permissions, but you need the OS DVD.
Do you have it?
Can you post the last kernel panic?
Already tried repairing and everything was fine.

Do you have a USB network device connected? If so, remove and uninstall the atheros software and see if the panic persists.
No usb devices were connected.
So I read a suggestion in another thread that involved reseating the RAM. I did exactly that and now the screen displays nothing and it doesn't make any spinning sounds as it used to. I reseated the RAM about 15 times and it never worked. I then tried starting it up without any RAM and it gives the exact same result. I'm guessing one of the boards inside is dead since it should make a sound if no RAM is installed.
It should also beep if the RAM module is faulty. If you are able to boot up, run Kelley Computing - Rember on the module (extended test). If the module checks out, bring your machine in for servicing. it is time to buy a new computer (the cost of replacing the logicboard would be more than the cost of buying a newer machine).
Unable to run any tests on it since it's not starting up properly. Guess it is time to get a new laptop.
Your drive could be easily failing too. Apple will still offer a free diagnosis at the genius bar. You could, at the very least, get a definitive answer. But, i would not invest any money into replacing the hardware.
The HDD already failed about 6 months ago. Replaced it with a Western Digital one. I could really use a faster and more up to date one though considering this one is from 2006.
For the future, never purchase a WD drive. WD is an awful manufacturor. Best of luck.
'Macbook 2,1' kernel panics often after software updates.
