Repeated kernel panic. "Your computer shut down because of a problem"

Question

Hello. I&#x27;ve had repeated kernel panics with gray screen and "your computer shut down because of a problem".• I&#x27;ve repaired premissions• I&#x27;ve repaired the disk - no errors now. But when the reboots happened I had some warnings about EFI disks.     • I&#x27;ve updated to the latest OSThe problem sometimes go away for days but then reappears over and over. I&#x27;m trying to look at the logs to see what causes the problem but I don&#x27;t know what to look for. Below are two of the latest logs.Is it harware or should I examine individual apps?Best regardsAnonymous UUID:       A50C9072-3DEB-C314-0B3F-DBBB13B2DE45Wed Jun 11 01:58:21 2014panic(cpu 0 caller

You might have some third party software that is creating these problems.  Download and post EtreCheck:http://www.etresoft.com/etrecheckRun an Apple Hardware Test (diagnostics).http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1509Ciao.

Linc Davis · Answer

That panic was not caused by third-party software. If the problem is recurrent, the possibilities are:A stale or corrupt kernel cacheA damaged OS X installationA fault in a peripheral device, if anyCorrupt non-volatile memory (NVRAM)An internal hardware fault (including incompatible memory)An obscure bug in OS XYou may already have ruled out some of these.Rule out #1 by starting up in safe mode and then restarting as usual. Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a Fusion Drive or a software RAID, you can’t do this. Post for further instructions.You can rule out #2 and #3 by reinstalling the OS and testing with non-essential peripherals disconnected and aftermarket expansion cards removed, if applicable. Sometimes a clean reinstallation may solve a problem that isn&#x27;t solved by reinstalling in place.Corrupt NVRAM, which rarely causes panics, can be ruled out by resetting it.If your model has user-replaceable memory, and you&#x27;ve upgraded the memory modules, reinstall the original memory and see whether there&#x27;s any improvement. Be careful not to touch the gold contacts. Clean them with a mild solvent such as rubbing alcohol. Aftermarket memory must exactly match the technical specifications of the machine.Apple Diagnostics or the Apple Hardware Test, though generally unreliable, will sometimes detect a fault. A negative test can&#x27;t be depended on. Run the extended version of the test, if applicable.In the category of obscure bugs, reports suggest that FileVault may trigger kernel traps under some unknown conditions. Most, though not all, of these reports seem to involve starting up from an aftermarket SSD. If those conditions apply to you, try deactivating FileVault.Even if FileVault is not active, an aftermarket SSD may be the cause of kernel panics. Check the manufacturer&#x27;s website for a firmware update.Connecting more than one display is another reported trigger for OS X bugs.If the system is not fully up to date, running Software Update might get you a bug fix.In rare cases, a malformed network packet from a defective router or other network device can cause panics. Such packets could also be sent deliberately by a skillful attacker. This possibility is something to consider if you run a public server that might be the target of such an attack.Otherwise, make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store, or go to another authorized service provider to have the machine tested. You may have to leave it there for several days. There isn&#x27;t much point in doing this unless you can reproduce the panic, or if you can&#x27;t, it happens often enough that it&#x27;s likely to be repeated at the store. Otherwise you may be told that nothing is wrong.Print the first page of the panic report and bring it with you.
