Hey everyone, I've got a weird one. I'm using a 15 inch, mid 2010 MBP, and after formatting/reinstalling Snow Leopard then upgrading to Mavericks, a few months ago, I've been have a frustrating issue. What happens is I swipe up using gestures for Mission Control and randomly my laptop will reset itself due a problem. I can't replicate this and I can't find any common elements everytime it happens.
Any ideas?
Cheers,

Hey there Petehead92,
It sounds like after you reinstalled Snow Leopard and upgraded to Mavericks you are getting a message saying your computer has restarted because of a problem. The following article should help you troubleshoot that named:

Diagnosing a recurring kernel panic can be difficult. If you need help with this process, consider bringing your Mac to a Genius at an Apple Store or an Apple Authorized Service Provider for help. If you plan to visit an Apple Retail store, you can make a reservation (available in some countries only).
Tip: To help diagnose recurring kernel panics, record the date and time it occurs, and any information that appears with the kernel panic message.
- Was the computer starting up, shutting down, or performing a particular task when the recurring kernel panic happened?
- Is the kernel panic intermittent, or does it happen every time you do a certain thing? For example, were you playing a particular game, or printing at the time?
- Does it occur only when a certain external device is connected, or a device is connected to a certain port?
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Take care,
Sterling
