Apple Event: May 7th at 7 am PT
I have a MacBook Pro 8.1 (late 2011). I'm running 10.11.3.
I have had the HDD changed to a SSD (Crucial MX100), more RAM and a new AirPort card. I have reinstalled the OS. The crashes did occur both before and after the new hardware was installed 😟
Are there any standard procedures that I should do? Can someone point me in the right direction to find the problem?
Thanks a million in advance

Please show us a log of the crash or multiple crashes Mac OS X: How to log a kernel panic - Apple Support so we can get a clue and maybe offer soma advice 🙂
Crashes or kernel panics occur when the machine runs into an error it cannot overcome and forces a shut down. This can be caused by both hardware and software.
Please try and note what programs you have opened or what you where doing on the machine when it crashes. For example: your machine crashes every time you use firefox (the browser), then use safari or chrome and see if the kernel panics stop.
Hope this helps!
Thanks a lot for all help.
I will update here in a month when I know what worked and not.
I still have strange output in my log files but no crashes in the last 2 days.
My gut feeling right now is that the problem was the old Wacom tablet (Graphire 4).
The font on your report you posted recently looks really weird.
It looks like some kind of font substitution or wonkiness.
Did you see that???
Have you done anything new with fonts since your first KP report here?
Hello again!
I have still not had one single crash. I've replaced the old wacom with a new one and I'm still using the computer with it's original 8gb of ram. Otherwise no changes.
I'll try and switch back the memory to 16gb at some time to see if it was the memory or the wacom. My gut feeling is the wacom. I write back once I test that 🙂
