OS X: When your computer spontaneously restarts or displays "Your computer restarted because of a problem." - Apple Supp…

Your problem is called a kernel panic and it is the mac version of the blue screen of death from windows. It happens when your mac runs into an error that it can not recover from.

See if the options in the support article help you any further. Otherwise let us know so we can help you!


Hope this helps!

Hi, thanks a lot for your answer.

It seams to be something related with the Ram... But the ram i bought (Corsair 1x204-pin SODIMM DDR3 1066 Mhz CL7) is compatible with macs and i think that when i used mavericks i did´t had so many error messages....

I already tried to remove the ram and i put it in place again and the error keeps coming....I have no idea how to solve this... is so frustrating....


This is the reported error...

Take the Corsair ram out and reinstall your original ram and see if the panics stop. Then you'll know for sure. Corsair isn't exact spec ram, while it says 1066MHz it might be running at 1063 or 1069...."sometimes" they actually get it right and the ram works but most of the time they consider close as good enough. That works ok in PC's that aren't as picky about ram as are Macs. Many Mac users only use ram from either Crucial or OWC
