macbook pro keeps restarting

Hello,


After downloading OS Mountain Lion, my MacBook Pro (mid-2010) keeps restarting at random. Especially when I use native apps such as reminders, launchpad, etc. But really it occurs very much at random.


I have since upgraded to OS X Mavericks and still the same issue. Has anyone run into this before?


Thanks,

Jackie

MacBook Pro (15-inch Mid 2010), OS X Mavericks (10.9.2)

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 report (with a name that begins with "Kernel" and ends in ".panic") 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 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 any other kind of diagnostic report, such as a hang report.
