panic(cpu 0 caller 0xffffff800a7ff085)
I have a mid 2012 MacBook Pro 13” 2.4 that cannot get past the above kernel panic message. I was editing audio at the time of the crash, and it hasn’t been able to boot since. I hear the boot noise and then immediately see that error message along with a full page of more code. Resetting NVRAM sometimes results in a different panic message, but it will panic again and come back to this one after a few seconds. I am also unable to boot in safe mode.
I use this computer as the center of my recording studio, with an external thunderbolt 2 soundcard, second screen, external hard drive, and more plugged in while running heavy software like Pro Tools and Logic Pro X. Though I upgraded the ram a while ago, this is often a bit much for the processor and it gets bogged down regularly. Too much processing has caused a crash or two before, but never a kernel panic that I couldn’t recover from. I have everything disconnected during these boot attempts. I also removed then re-seated the RAM to no avail.
I would really like to make this MacBook last as long as possible, seeing as the new MacBook has exclusively usb-C ports, of which there are too few. Dongles are stupid, and the bandwidth my hardware needs prevents the use of hubs, so that’s not really an option. An iMac has more I/O but isn’t portable enough to record on the go, so I feel somewhat stuck with these mac-only software licenses and no compromise-free upgrade solution.
Anybody have an idea of how to get this running again? I attached a picture of the full message as it appears on screen.
