Kernel Panic - imac rebooting please help?

Hello

My 2009 iMac continues to reboot due to kernel panic during the past couple of week. It happes several times a day. I cannot find any specific cause and it seems to happen randomly. That is even when the computer is on standby. I hvae searched the web, but cannot find a solution. The problem is getting worse.

I have tried apple hardware test that detected no problems. I have upgraded the imac last yaer with a Samsung SSD and its running 6 gb ram. It has worked flawless until now. Should I consider buying a new Imac?


Here is the log:

Most likely, one of these is the culprit.


com.Cycling74.driver.Soundflower 1.5.3

com.squirrels.airparrot.framebuffer 3

com.squirrels.driver.AirParrotSpeakers 1.8


Boot into safe mode (restart holding down SHIFT key). If no KP, then uninstall and reinstall those, one at a time.. If KP, then most likely hardware related. Run the Apple Hardware Test suite, extended tests at least twice, followed by Rember. See
