There is no way to tell if you are having the exact same issue because the original poster never included this information. If chunk has these incompatible 3rd party kernel extensions installed too, then that might be the cause. Alas, no one knows.

Also having the same issue, hope this helps with figuring it out.

Also having the same issue, hope this helps with figuring it out.

You may have the same symptom, but the problem is likely tied to one of these:

com.Cycling74.driver.Soundflower 1.6.6

org.virtualbox.kext.VBoxUSB 4.2.14

org.virtualbox.kext.VBoxDrv 4.2.14


You might want to update VB, there is a more recent version.

Soundflower causes kernel panics quite regularly, here.

I've also got the same issue.


Here's the log that came with the error:

You have a Mid-2010 15" MacBook Pro. It had a known faulty GPU. Print out this article and take it to an Apple Store or Apple Certified Repair Center (there are links on the article to find the nearest one).

Make sure they test for this specific issue. The normal tests will not find it. The offer for free repair is only for three years from date of purchase, but you may be able to convince them to still do it for free since it only appeared when you upgraded to Mavericks.

Thanks, will do.

I already took it to an apple store (iCentre) before I posted here and there they said my type of MacBook Pro was not amongst the ones with dodgy GPU. I specificly asked for that, seeing as I read something about those GPU's on a forum.

Perhaps I can convince them with said article.


As for:

And, for the record, your issue is completely different from anything else posted in this thread.

My mistake, sorry. I must've misunderstood the earlier posts in this thread. Thanks for helping me regardless.

Well appreciated

Only an Apple Store is an Apple Store. If you are going to an Authorized Apple Repair centre, your results may vary. Take a printout of your kernel panic with you. Try another authorized repair centre. Keep trying because it sure looks like a hardware problem.

It's no problem. I just hate to see people post a "me too" reponse for a problem that is different.Too often they sit on the hands and wait for a fix or waste their time trying some software fix when the problem is hardware. If you do have a hardware problem, you want to get that identified and fixed as soon as possible because warranties and extended repair programs eventually expire.


It is always best to start your own thread.

I dont think this is any hardware issue that I will have to go to any repair shop for, but my research said its missing driver for nvidia graphics card. in my case, Nvidia Geforce 330. Let me tell you guys, how I went thru research to find out the issue -


I have my MBP 6,2 mid 2010


1) I first installed default OS 10.6 everything worked good,

2) Then 10.7 found worked good

3) then 10.8 Mountain Lion auto restarted with freezing black screen, then I googled and foudn this http://www.nvidia.com/object/quadro-macosx-256.01.00f03v7-driver.html?ClickID=by qqmmzvdsvnny6dglyksqksysssu1zvugyg. I downloaded and problem gone (though silly issues were there but not auto restarted)

4) then installed 10.9 and problem again started and above mentioned driver installed but this time it never worked ( I guess that was for max 10.8)


so my conclusion is Apple should take care of this especially for nvidia 300 series driver.
