Random Kernel Panics: Kernel trap type 14=page fault

MBP late 2013, 15inch, 16gb ram, 512g ssd, iris pro

Starting from several weeks ago, I get several kernel panics per week. This morning, when I woke my machine up (connected to a external display) and power up the external display. I immediately got a white screen and then the famous kernel panic screen. You may think this is the resuming from sleep problem, but in my case similar kernel panics also happen when running. The following is kernel panic log from console:

Page faults are related to memory. You don't have any third-party kernel extensions, so it is likely Hardware. RAM is hardware.

Have you ever upgraded your RAM?

Then, you can try a few things:

1) Repair the hard drive

2) Reinstall the OS

3) Rare, but Reset NVRAM: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1379

4) Take it into an Apple Store and have them test it.

Samuel --

Can you disconnect your external HD, and see if you continue to have KPs.

Let us know, OK?

Do you know what this is:

From experience of the past few weeks, KP will happen regardless of whether the external HD is connected. For example, the KP I reported happened without the external HD.

I have no idea what MCEReporter is. I cannot remember how it got into my system.

Can you think back really carefully, and try to remember what you changed just prior to this happening?

Starting from several weeks ago, I get several kernel panics per week.

The most notable things are upgrading to 10.9.2, and starting to use a thunderbolt-to-ethernet adapter (the one made by Apple).

Just now I have a KP when I was connecting my MBP waking up from sleep to an external display. The two displays flashed for a few times and it looked like it was working normally and then the screen went completely white.

This time the problem was with virtual memory. Maybe RAM or maybe the hard drive is failing.

You now have a paragon kext, which I don't think is the problem, but you might try uninstalling to check.

Another way to rule out third-party stuff is to boot into Safe Mode and test. However, you indicated the panics are not frequent, which makes testing in Safe Mode difficult. It is somewhat sluggish and some things don't work.

I have done a complete memtest86 test on the whole RAM and found no error. So I think RAM failing is unlikely.

You can't do a memtest on the "whole RAM" because nothing can check RAM that is currently in use by another process. However, I don't think it is the RAM as the last problem was with VM. More than likely it would be a hard drive problem, but it is really not easy to tell from a couple of panic logs.

I set my MBP to boot from a USB drive loaded with a minimal linux and memtest86, and the program did indicate it tested from RAM address 0 to the "maximal address". So I guess I have tested the whole RAM.

If it is a hard drive problem, how can I tell beside the KP logs?
