Kernel Panic help!

Question

Hi all,I get repeated Panics on my 2008 MBP 5,1. Went to a Genius and was told Chrome might be the issue. Deleted it and the Panics became MORE frequent.They tend to happen when I leave the computer on and go away, so I&#x27;m unsure of exactly what causes them - it&#x27;s never happened while I&#x27;ve been sat with the computer. I&#x27;m running Yosemite, not gone to El Capitan yet as unsure if Logic 8 Express will function on it.I&#x27;ll copy/paste the Panic log below, and I hope someone out there has the smarts to help me uncover what might be going on.Thanks a lot for your time, Tom xAnonymous UUID:       538FFC20-A3A2-9F1D-C0DB-E37AF635189FThu Feb  4 20:23:39 2016*** Panic Report ***panic(cpu 1 caller 0xffffff7f98339c1b): "GPU Panic: [&lt;None&gt;] 2 3 7f a8 61 0 3 3 : NVRM[1/2:0:0]: Read Error 0x00000004: CFG 0x064710de 0x00100000 0x00000000, BAR0 0xa4000000 0xffffff80845c3000 0x096380c1, D3, P1/4

my ginger · Answer

Do you have the original disks that came with the computer so you can run a hardware test? You show a hardware sensor and GPU. Is it overheating? As in fan running hard? Chrome is not easy to delete as it throws files all over the place. How did you delete it?

OGELTHORPE · Answer

Your MBP has an unhappy GPU.  Make an appointment at an Apple store genius bar and bring this kernel panic report with you.  The evaluation will be FREE.Ciao.

Thanks MG,I do have all original disks yes, although they are Snow Leopard, is that a problem? The Genius ran a hardware test and could only see the battery as being faulty but I never run my MBP not plugged in. I&#x27;ve installed a third party fan manager (smcFanControl 2.4) because the computer seemed to be getting pretty hot, could that be the problem? As for deleting Chrome, I just dragged everything I could find (following a YouTube tutorial) related to Chrome and binned it. Are there residual files that could be causing this?Thanks for your help btw,Tom

thatgingerfella · Answer

Probably a good idea, but 15 minutes doesn&#x27;t get you very far! 😟

my ginger · Answer

Using the install disk was to do a hardware test. But since you took it to the genius bar and their tests are better. You don&#x27;t need to run it. Here are all the file that are for google chrome.http://crunchify.com/how-to-purge-all-your-google-chrome-user-data-on-mac-os-x/ That sensor error must have been battery.If you have change the battery to an after market one, it could be a false positive. Could you run an EtreCheck for me and post it.  http://etrecheck.com/

thatgingerfella · Answer

Thanks for your help MG. Can I send the report to you privately?

my ginger · Answer

Etrecheck does not show anything that compromises your privicy. And there are others in here including the one who designed it that can help you.Yes the person that designed it is a regular here .

Your computer is very much under rated  as to memory. Yosemite should have at least 4 GB of memory and you can go as high as 8. If you see all the processes killed. That is because of lack of memory.  http://eshop.macsales.com/MyOWC/Upgrades.cfm?sort&#x3D;pop&amp;model&#x3D;303&amp;type&#x3D;Memory Your time machine backup disk is getting full and is too small.  You can delete old backups from time machine.http://osxdaily.com/2015/07/27/delete-old-backups-time-machine-mac/ You have an extensions updater that failed. I do not know what that is. If it is third party it may need to be updated or removed. You have a large  number of launch agents and launch daemons, but because of memory restrictions it could not list them all. Many of them could be from apps or services you have installed . I would not go in an delete them unless you know exactly what they are. They may be part of programs you have. Some of them are system programs and needed.

Thank you. I don&#x27;t really understand a lot of what that report brought up, but I can definitely see some more RAM would be a good thing, and I might replace my hard drive with an SSD too. I can&#x27;t find anything about what that extensions updater is for either, and when I search for it in Finder I can&#x27;t find it - which I don&#x27;t really understand.

Also, I heard late 2008 MBPs can only go up to 6GB RAM (a 4 and a 2). Is that wrong?

Found my answer - http://blog.macsales.com/9102-secret-firmware-lets-late-08-macbooks-use-8gb

my ginger · Answer

According to your model id as a late 2008MBP ,you can run up to 8GB. Did you click on the link for memory that I gave you. Mac Sales also sells SSD drives compatible with your MBP. Their site also has support and help for how to&#x27;s in installing and setting them up.  http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/internal_storage/SSD/Mercury_Electra_3G_Solid_Sta te The com.extensions 60094 updater agent.plist would be in a launch agent folder. Ether computer library launch agents- system library launch agents or home library launch agents. If it cannot say com.apple.extensions updater.

Are you by any chance using an external Audio input device?

Hi. Thanks for your response. I&#x27;ve been using a Nektar Impact LX49 midi keyboard. Is that maybe the culprit? I bought it brand new and installed everything as suggested in the manual.
