Q: Repeated kernel panics in mid 2015 MBP
(I'm sorry but the last time I posted this I must have hit the 'solved button' but accident. It's not solved and so I understand from other threads that I should re-post my question. Please forgive me for being less than able on this sort of thing!)
Hi - Forgive the non tech language! I often charge up my relatively new MBP overnight. A few weeks ago I started to notice that it was often off when I opened the lid in the mornings - but the laptop is always warm, suggesting the shutdown had only recently occurred. On one occasion the fan was going crazy. (When this problem occurs I also find that power is used up relatively quickly. Right now for instance, I've been using it for 50 minutes and 20% has gone.) Closing and then reopening the lid (which sometimes had worked) failed and the only way of restarting the machine was to keep my finger on the power button. I've always submitted reports when prompted. And all my software is up to date. I back up regularly via time machine/time capsule and also with an portable external hard drive. If I look at Activity Monitor something called 'kernel_task' hogs memory and is always over 1 GB - at the moment, for instance, it's using 1.23 GB of memory - five times more than the next item.
I have uploaded the text of the panic report I received this morning ******** Apologies once again for the non tech speak. Thanks so much in advance!
