Q: Random Kernel Panic - after clean install, need help

Hey guys I'm working with an issue here, I have a 2008 (early) macbook its white

randomly sometimes 20 seconds in other times after 30+ min i get the Kernel panic screen.

i reboot to a white screen, turn off and turn back on and it boots fine (until the next panic) i have tried googling the error codes but i can't find any help there

Im running Lion 10.7.5 and when i reboot and press and only 'D' it just goes to a while screen and stays there, after about 10 seconds i give up and reboot it normally. I haven't changed any hardware, and i am working on a clean Erase of the hard drive and a reinstall.

 

I purchased the computer a few years ago off cragslist and it has been running great,  I don't use it often, but lately i have had a need for it.

 

Being an early 2008 and never getting disks with the machine, i can't run AHT.  I have used "Techtools Pro" to test memory and hard drive and that came back ok.  I don't know if thats a good scanner or not, just what i found searching google, if theres another you can suggest i will give ti a try

Any guidance will be great,

Below is the panic code:

    Hello BigKyle,

     

    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.

     

    I see from your post that you're getting a kernel panic on your Mac even after erasing and installing OS X.  This might indicate there is an issue with the hardware on the Mac, which is causing the kernel panic.  As far as troubleshooting goes, it can be a very tedious and difficult task to find out what is causing the kernel panic, so you might want to consider taking your Mac into an Apple Retail Store or Apple Authorized Service Provider.

     

    Troubleshooting a recurring kernel panic

    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?

    Isolate hardware or software as the cause of the issue

    To try to figure out if the issue is related to software or hardware, use the computer with a fresh installation of OS X on an external drive.

    1. Start the Mac from OS X Recovery. 
      If a kernel panic still occurs when started from Recovery, there is likely a hardware issue. See the "Hardware troubleshooting" section below for additional information.
    2. Open Disk Utility and use "Repair Disk" on your Mac's internal hard drive (named Macintosh HD by default).

      Important: If Disk Utility is unable to repair the internal drive, you should back up your important data immediately and if possible, reformat the drive. Consider bringing the Mac to a Genius at an Apple Store or an Apple Authorized Service Provider for further diagnosis. Be sure to ask that, if the drive needs reformatting or replacing, they contact you about escalating your case to a special data recovery service. If you plan to visit an Apple Retail store, you can make a reservation (available in some countries only).
       
    3. Connect an external drive with at least 10 GB of free space. Note: Make sure the external drive does not cause kernel panics, and is the only device on its USB, FireWire, or Thunderbolt port. Connecting the external drive and its cables to another Mac can help make sure the drive does not cause kernel panics. 
    4. Install OS X on the external drive.
    5. Start up from the external drive.
    6. Use Software Update to install all updates until it reports "Your software is up to date."
    7. Don't install additional software on the external drive, but instead use the Apple applications to surf the web, view QuickTime movies, email, print, scan, and/or other activities. Continue using your Mac for the amount of time it would usually take for the issue to occur.
    8. If a panic occurs, select the "Hardware troubleshooting" section below to further diagnose the issue.
      If a panic does not occur, select the "Software troubleshooting" section below article to further diagnose the issue.

     

    Hardware troubleshooting

    Disconnect the external drive used in the above test to determine if the kernel panic is due to a hardware issue.

    Check peripheral devices first

    Go to the next section if you have no devices attached to your Mac.

    1. Turn off your Mac.
    2. Disconnect all peripheral devices. If you have a desktop Mac, make sure all you have connected is a display and Apple keyboard with Apple mouse or trackpad.
    3. Turn on your Mac.
    4. Use your Mac for the amount of time it would usually take for a kernel panic to occur.
    5. If a kernel panic does occur: Proceed the next section to check the internal RAM and third-party hardware.
      If a kernel panic does not occur: Power down the Mac and connect one peripheral device at a time and test until a kernel panic occurs.
      • Note: A combination of peripherals may be the cause of a kernel panic. Disconnect one peripheral at a time to see if it causes a kernel panic by itself. If the kernel panic does not occur, continue to add peripherals until you find the other peripheral needed to cause the kernel panic. 

    Check internal RAM and third-party hardware

    1. Turn off your Mac.
    2. Reseat the Apple RAM, and remove third-party RAM and third-party internal hardware.  If you do not have the Apple RAM that came with the system, reseat the third-party RAM.
    3. Turn on your Mac.
    4. Use your Mac for the amount of time it would usually take for a kernel panic to occur.
    5. If the kernel panic does not occur: The third-party RAM or internal third-party hardware may need to be replaced.
      If a kernel panic does occur:  Bring your Mac to an Apple Store, or an Apple Authorized Service Provider for service and support. Be sure to ask that, if the drive needs reformatting or replacing, they contact you about escalating your case to a special data recovery service. If you plan to visit an Apple Retail store, you can make a reservation (available in some countries only).
