Kernel Panics in brand new Retina MBP running Mavericks

If you bought it less than 14 days ago return it for a refund and get another.

I also got a Kernel panic today while playing a video inside VLC. It happened while I was double clicking inside the video. I have an identical MBP 15 (16GB RAM):

Maybe there's a bug in switching the GPU while going to full screen? I hope it's not a HW problem. Please let me know what your "Genius" told you :-)

I ran hardware test and verified my disk using Disk Utilities. Haven't done the PRAM and SMC reset yet.

Today when I was watching video using VLC and tried to go to full screen, kernel panic again.

Now I have stopped using VLC (switched to MPlayerX) and also disabled GPU switching (use discreet GPU all the time now). I'll wait a few days to see if I still get the panics. If so, I'll probably go and try to exchange the MBP.

Boogieordie, any updates?

Now I can consistently reproduce the kernel panic, even after the nVidia EFI update:

• enable "automatic graphics switching" in system preferences -> energy saver
• run VLC (2.1.0)
• open a 1920x1080 video, set it to half size (command-0)
• double click on the video continuously to switch between full screen and windowed mode

within less than 10 seconds the kernel will panic

and ... I suspect Apple knows something about this. Because after the kernel panic and reboot, the "automatic graphics switching" is surreptitiously disabled!

With "auto graphics switching" disabled, I cannot reproduce the panic.

I'd like to add my name to the list. Had the exact same issue at the OP.

I was happily watching a video on VLC (720p though not 1080p), it was playing fullscreen ok. When the video had finished I pressed the ESC key and got a grey blank screen. The laptop rebooted and I got the Kernel Panic error logs displayed when it logged back in.

Thinking this a driver issue perhaps?

My graphics switching was still enabled though after the reboot

Running all the patches

Add me to the club as well..

Ten days "old" MBP with 15-inch, 2.3GHz, 16GB RAM, 500GB and Intel Iris Pro 1024MB.

After reading your posts I have also narrowed it down to VLC and full-screen/windowed mode switching.

Disabled the "automatic graphics switching" and no meltdown so far..

Look forward to any updates and fixes.

/Christer

The new version of VLC released yesterday fixed the kernel panics.

Tomie Ningen-

Your kernel panic reports represent a NON-Trend, which correlates strongly with RAM Memory problems.

You have 14 days (and no more) to exchange this unit for another. Otherwise it will require a Repair that cannot be done in the store because the parts are soldered in place -- that may take 7 to 10 days.

Get a move on.

Add me to the list as well. I have the 11,3 model and already returned one that was two days old. I just the same panic again now, with another, brand new model. Three days old. Either I have the worst luck ever, or there is a trend here.

See my post on the original panic:

boogieordie-

You have "ordinary" panics with no third-party kernel extensions.

Your trend is ... it does not happen in the same routine twice. This is the beginning of a NON-Trend, which correlates with RAM Memory issues.

You have an ordinary kernel panic, but you have modified the kernel with soem third-party extensions, which should be completely removed, as they may be causing the instability:

foo.tun 1.0

foo.tap 1.0

nbar-

No third-party kernel extensions added. You have two kernel panics at the exact same place, IOAccelerator. Do you get any screen artifacts with that?

That may indicate you have a Bad Mac OS X image.

Although it seems like "busy work" I recommend you Re-Install Mac OS X.

I am not too worried. After disabling automatic GPU switching, I have never seen the kernel panic anymore. Since nbar sees the same problem with two machines, I highly doubt this is a memory problem. It's most likely a GPU driver bug. Apple will probably fix it eventually.

GBA,

Thank you for the reply. I had no screen artifacts in either case (with either machine). Like the previous machine, this one passed Apple hardware diagnostics (I ran 3X back to back). The previous one passed Apple Store HW diagnostics, but I opted for a brand new replacement anyway. I am running a three walk loop of Rember on the RAM, which is almost completed and so far so good (for the OP and others, I highly suggest Kelley Computing - Rember to test your RAM).

Given that in both cases, with both machines, I simply used setup assistant from a TM backup and never did actually reinstall Mavericks, your suggestion is a good one - I will follow up with that once Rember completes.

One last thought, I had read that Logitech's drivers were deprecated in Mavericks. Though I never installed these drivers, I do use a Logitech mouse connected via its trademark USB "nano-receiver." Could this trigger the panics, though no drivers were installed in either case? I have subsequently removed it and will see if this helps as well.

I don't want to hijack the OPs post, but I am having the same issue. I appreciate your time-will get back with an update.

Thanks,

NB
