G5 "Q87" Dual 2.7GHz - Persistent Kernel Panic

Hello All,
I have a Power Mac G5 (trusty old pro audio box) which has been experiencing regular Kernel Panics (grey screen of death) for the past month or so.
I'm wondering if it might be the Logic Board or something having to do in particular with either the SATA or memory areas which might be having the trouble.
My G5's specs and latest Kernel Panic report are as follows:
Power Mac G5 Dual 2.7 GHz "Q87 970fx" model | 8GB | 1TB HD | 10.4.11
RME 9632 PCI based audio interface. (connected to Lexicon PCM 80 via S/PDIF which coincides with the Kernel Panics but may be a coincidence?)
The Kernel Panic mainly happens whenever I save a large group of samples in Native Instruments Kontakt 3.5 or when playing back large (usually orchestral) multi-instrument sample presets in Wave Editor or other audio editing programs. Crashes also occur whenever large audio files (300MB+) are loaded or are being edited/converted.
Can anyone decipher the meaning of the Kernel Panic report? I would very much appreciate it. Thank you.

Thanks to all for the replies.
I ran Rember and there were some test failures. It doesn't look like the program is able to tell me which DIMM is bad so I'll probably have to go by process of elimination, right?
I'm still hoping to find Apple Hardware Test and/or Apple Service Diagnostic for this particular machine and I'll try other memory test programs as well. For anyone who's interested, here are the results of the memory test by Rember. Perhaps someone could tell by looking which DIMM it might be?

  • Persistent kernel panics

    For almost two months, I've been trying to resolve a kernel panic issue with a MacBook Pro purchased 6/06. Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.
    Here are the logs of the two most-recent kernel panics (one of which occurred when the user woke the MacBook from sleep; the other may have occurred during a startup, but I'm unsure):

    More details: Most if not all of this MacBook Pro's kernel panics have occurred either during startup or when waking from sleep; they occur inconsistently.
    When the KPs first surfaced, I used disk utility and noted an error (invalid extent entry). What followed was wiping the hard drive and reinstalling the OS and other applications more than once, including once after calling Apple tech support\. I've zapped PRAM, ran Apple's HW test (indicated no problems) and rebuilt permissions along the way.
    The panics persisted, so I called Apple tech support again (case #66615064). As a result, I had the user boot in safe mode. No problems occurred during startups in safe mode, but the user needed to reboot in standard mode to get his work done. There does not seem to be anything in the Library/Startup Items of the Accounts/Login Items that could account for the kernel panics.
    I was in the process of setting up an external HD as step #2 of the troubleshooting steps suggested to me by Apple tech support when I came across discussions here suggesting that Airport may be to blame and that a patch had just today (?) become available. The user will be downloading the software update this afternoon, but at this point I don't know if this will solve the issue.
    I've also seen posts here indicating the only true solution is a new motherboard. I also understand that external devices may be to blame; the user has an external Apple keyboard, Microsoft USB mouse and Apple display. Here is probably way too much info from the system profiler:

    Thanks to Garret Textor1 and iVmichael, this problem is solved: As soon as I pulled a third-party RAM chip, the kernel panics went away. And Kingston readily is sending a replacement, which is also good news.
    Now, I'd like to mark the answers given by Garret and ivMichael with "solved" stars, but I've already marked them as helpful. How do I do this?
    Thanks again!

  • Persisting kernel panics with mountain lion (clean install)

    hi, I could really have some help on recent kernel panics I am experiecing on my 2009 MacBook Pro with Mountain lion installed. Here and there I have been doing some reading but I am not a techy, most of it I do not understand.
    Last kernel panic occured while I was copying a large file (998mb) from network storage. Before a fresh install kernel panics happend literally any time and I could not pin point any reasons.. At the moment I have no third-party software installed except Spotify...
    I also have recently replaced my HDD with an SSD. Currently 8gb of 1066mhz memory is installed
    This is log of the latest kernel panic:

    Now, before I go any further, I'd like to point out that diagnosing, and actually eliminating, kernel panics is very tricky. There are several causes that are very well documented on the internet. However, you can run all those tests, perform all that voodoo, even reinstall the OS... and continue to have kernel panics. That said, here are some notes:
    What brought me here in the first place is that, since upgrading from Lion to Mountain Lion, I've been having the same frequency of kernel panics as you.
    My frequency of kernel panics using Snow Leopard and Lion averaged once a week.
    On Snow Leopard I could actually reproduce the kernel panic by USB tethering my iPhone. This was a widespread and well-documented issue for people with early 2011 MacBook Pro's, and Apple supposedly fixed it in an update. Supposedly...
    Updating to 10.8.1 didn't fix the problem for me.
    Since upgrading to Mountain Lion, I've stopped using Spotify, as that seemed to be the worst culprit (on my machine). Keep in mind, there are thousands, maybe millions, of users who aren't having kernel panics while using Spotity on Mountain Lion, so that's really only one data point. Also, Spotify recently updated it's own software that may have fixed a kernel extension problem but I haven't used it enough yet to report anything.
    I took my computer to the Apple Store in 2011, and I recently spent an hour on the phone with Apple Care. No dice.
    My kernel panic logs don't seem to have a common denominator as to the cause (Spotify, USB...)
    Just when I think I see a common denominator like when I'm using a certain USB port, or a secondary display, there will be a kernel panic when neither of those things are happening
    You''ve got a lot going on with your machine: upgraded memory, SSD...
    Taking all that into consideration, be cautious not to jump to conclusions. No doubt, it's a combination of factors. For example, it could be certain MacBook Pro's that have certain video cards, USB, Spotify, Flash... I mean, really, it just starts heading down a dangerous path of speculation and conjecture, so I'm leaving it up the Apple engineers at this point. And, of course, always back up.
    Anyway, you and I and whole lot of other folks out there are having the exact same problem since updating to 10.8.0. Add to that the issues that many of us are having with Safari, Mission Control... and it spells out one thing: the price one pays for being an early adopter. By all means, follow the steps outlined here:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/PH11045
    and perhaps here:
    http://www.thexlab.com/faqs/kernelpanics.html
    and use @baltwo's excellent recommendation:
    http://kelleycomputing.net/rember/
    Hopefully, that will fix the problem that you're experiencing but I'm betting against it. Most likely, 10.8.x will fix or at least improve this issue.
    In the meantime, here's the good news: because of the autosave state features introduced in Lion, a kernel panic has gone from being a potentinally devestatingly destructive event to a minor (albeit inccessant) nuisance. It never hurts to compusively hit Command-S but even so, I'm happy to report that I can't think of a single kernel panic that has resulted in substantial data loss (read: work). In fact, there are worse things than restarting your computer, and reallocating memory that's been leaking from Safari...
    Anyway, unless you're one of the those affected that can't even boot, I'd recommmend stopping short of reinstalling the OS. Wait for a stable release, and then when you have a slow week, perform a clean install. Then begin the process of installing fresh versions of your apps one-by-one. Also, by then, third party developers will have had time to update their kernel extensions, etc.
    In other words, follow the hypocratic oath: thou shall not harm. We were all good before Mountain Lion, so let's not fix what isn't broken by tinkering with our systems too much.
    Best of luck to you!

    Can anyone advise? I'm assuming it's possibly a bad block on my hard disk, but I'd be grateful for advice from anyone who is skilled in reading panic logs.

    If I had to guess, I would say the persistence, despite your actions, suggests knackered hardware - logic board maybe.
    Sounds like it needs checked by Apple. I was pleasantly surprised by the £30 cost of just a diagnosis my local centre charged (although repair was going to be £350 so scrapped the machine

  • Persisting kernel panic on my eMac, can't diagnose the problem.

    Believe it or not, I still own an old 2005 eMac. It's still a good piece of kit for ******* around on and I'd like to get a little more mileage out of it. My problem is every time I turn it on I get kernel panic. If I let the computer sit for a few months, it operates several minutes longer without incurring kernel panic. If I turn it back on an hour later, kernel panic occurs rather quickly. I've had some other problems too after it was suggested that I re-align the RAM: I got a fleshing light and no startup which I diagnosed to be something wrong with the RAM. A couple days later I started it up again and got a no-entry symbol instead of a grey apple symbol. A couple weeks after that I safe booted up fine and got a few minutes of use out of it before kernel panic hit again. My question is should I replace the RAM? Or it something much worse like a hard drive issue?

    Hi, have you blown the dust out of it lately?
    Do you know which exact Model it is?
    If you don't know the model, find the Serial# & use it on one of these sites, but don't post the Serial# here...

  • Persisting Kernel Panics

    I started getting reoccuring kernel panics two weeks back so I printed out two recent kernel panics and went to the Apple Store to get them fixed. They took my computer in and did the overnight diagnostics and found no problems and decided to just reinstall Mountain Lion. Since then, I have had two kernel panics since. They told me my hardware was fine and my software shouldn't be an issue since ML's been reinstalled. Help?

    Ok let me see if I can reply to each possibility:
    When you talk about booting in safe mode then rebooting, do you mean operating in safe mode to check for panics and then restarting as usual? How long should I wait for a panic in safe mode before I know whether there aren't any, because the panic attacks don't seem to have a time frame?
    I reinstalled the OS a few days ago so I don't think that's the problem. I haven't changed any memory either. I'm not using FileVault. I only have one display. All my software's updated.
    If helpful, here is the panic log of the first kernel panic since the reinstallation:

  • 10.4.8 Tiger-Wake From Sleep Kernel Panics

    I've seen many discussions abound kernel panics and wake-from-sleep issues, but nothing exactly like mine.
    Most importantly, mine is a desktop Mac-PowerMac G4, 2 proc, 1.25 GHz.
    We are experiencing persistent kernel panic and system crash problems, all of which happen when we try to bring the machine back up from sleep by tapping the keyboard and/or clicking the mouse.
    The system responses have included:
    • Hard drive and fan spinning up, but no mounting of any USB device (the ZIP 250 drive doesn't whir and the Studio Display remains dark
    • Machine wakes up but the display has what can only be described as "pieces" missing from it. Then the kernel panic display happens.
    • Mouse pointer moves but activates and affects nothing.
    The very last kernel panic was intriguing. The machine woke up and appeared to be fine for a moment but there was the problem when 'chunks' were missing from the display image. Firefox, which had been running when the Mac went to sleep, crashed with no error message-it simply disappeared. Then the kernel panic screen happened. The report generated at restart was thus:

    While I do have 1GB onboard memory it probably ought to be said that 512MB worth is a memory stick from Crucial that I installed about a week and a half before upgrading from 10.3.9 to 10.4.6. I doubt it's the memory's fault in as much as that period of time was more than enough for the problem to crop up and it ran with no complaints whatsoever until I upgraded to Tiger.
    I have also tried removing the ZIP 250 from the system; I have Adobe Version Cue CS2 running and had that turned off; various tips and tricks I found about too numerous to recount. So far the problem is proving intractable.
    Does anyone have any idea of what I ought to try next?
    Much appreciation in advance,
    Sam Klein.
    PowerMac G4   Mac OS X (10.4.8)   1.25 GHz, Dual Processor, MDD, 1GB RAM

    I recommend having both Alsoft DiskWarrior 3.0.3+ (DW3) and Micromat TechTool Pro version 4.1.x+ (TTP4).
    While both can build a new, optimized directory for a disk, I have found there are some disks that only DW3 can repair. DW3 is a "specialist" in disk directories.
    Likewise, TTP4 brings a host of useful hardware testing routines that are neither in DW3 nor the Apple Hardware Test. TTP4 also includes an excellent disk defragmenter. Defragmenting is generally not required under Mac OS X 10.3 or later unless you perform an extensive amount of video editing or your disk is nearing full, in which case it can be useful. See Mac OS X: About Disk Optimization. TTP4's Surface Scan is also useful in determining if a disk has developed bad sectors.
    If you own neither utility today, the initial investment may seem like a good deal of money, but compared to your data and your time, the cost of these utilities is insignificant in the the long run. I've found their upgrades to be reasonably priced for what they do.
    Neither utility is a substitute for a comprehensive Backup and Recovery solution. But I've seen DW3 save more than one person's bacon and the suite of hardware tests and additional functions TTP4 bring to the table make both a worthwhile investment.
    If you can only purchase one now, make it DW3. Add TTP4 when funds permit.
    Better to have the tools and not need them, than to need them and not have them.
    A good mechanic has more than one kind of wrench in their toolbox.
    In some ways, you're lucky to have a PowerPC-based Mac: DW3 is not yet available for Intel-based Macs.
    Good luck!

  • Sporadic crashes/kernel panics after switching to new mac

    Hey everyone I'm really hoping that someone here can help me with a problem I've been having
    In late December I accidentally water damaged my 2011 13' MacBook Pro, resulting in loss of keyboard function, however the computer was still workable. And I made do until the beginning  of March when I bought a second hand 2012 13' 2.5GHz MacBook Pro. 
    I put the ram and harddrive from my old MacBook into the new one, and everything worked fine....for the first 5  days
    However I began to experience crashes(kernel panics?) where any number of things would happen...
    Most commonly the computer would freeze,  briefly followed by an immediate reboot, followed by a error message saying something like "your computer restarted because of a problem"(after logging in)
    It also presents as the computer freezing, with the sudden appearance of scattered purple/blue lines, and I am forced to hard reset. This is followed by the same error message as before.
    I have also encountered problems with the computer not responding after being put to sleep(however this may have been fixed when I reset the SMC, hasn't happened for a while).
    Does anyone have any suggestions as to things I could check or possible causes of this? Cause I have no clue.....
    These problems have happened under all sorts of different conditions different,  work loads, ect.
    I Also can't find anything difinitive in the console in regarded to any specific crash, and there's nothing consistent between them.
    Things I have done:
    -Reset PRAM/NVRAM
    -Reset SMC
    -Repaired disk permissions
    -Ran apple diagnostics
    -Stress tested processor using "yes" command
    -Tested ram with memtest
    Any thought you have would be greatly appreciated!
    ~P

    Hello iPhil,
    I'm sorry to hear you are having these issues with your new-to-you MacBook Pro. It sounds like you have been on the right track in your troubleshooting. If you continue to have these intermittent but persistent kernel panics, you may find the information and additional troubleshooting steps outlined in the following article helpful (apologies if you have already seen it):
    OS X: When your computer spontaneously restarts or displays "Your computer restarted because of a problem." - Apple Support

  • Kernel panic when trying to upgrade from OS X 10.7.5

    Running an intel imac with os x 10.7.5, I tried upgrading to mavericks. After downloading and try to restart, I get a persistent kernel panic. Have used disk utility from recovery HD to repair permissions and repair disk. Still get kernel panic screen on restart. What now?

    If you can't boot in the usual way, try a safe boot. During startup, you’ll see a progress bar, and then the login screen, which appears even if you normally log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin. If you have more than one user account, you must be logged in as an administrator to carry out these instructions. Safe mode is slower than normal, and some things won’t work at all. Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a Fusion Drive or a software RAID, you can’t boot in safe mode. If you're able to boot, launch the Console application in any of the following ways: ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.) ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens. ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid. Select the most recent panic report (with a name that begins with "Kernel" and ends in ".panic") under the heading System Diagnostic Reports on the left. If you don't see that heading, select  
    View ▹ Show Log List
    from the menu bar. Post the entire contents of the report — the text, please, not a screenshot. In the interest of privacy, I suggest you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header and body of the report, if it’s present (it may not be.) Please don't post any other kind of diagnostic report, such as a hang report.

    Can I get some advice on how to diagnose a persistent kernel panic on startup?

    panic: we are hanging here...
    -The PowerBookG4 starts up when selecting the local hard disk via Startup Manager (press and hold Option key); PowerBookG4 starts up when inserting the install disk 1 and selecting the local hard disk via Startup Manager (press and hold C key); PowerBookG4 starts into safe mode (press and hold Option+Shift keys).
    I have verified and repaired disk permissions and the disk itself. This behavior occurs consistently with or without external devices connected.
    I can work in my applications ok and everything appears to function as expected once I get the PowerBookG4 booted, but I am concerned about how long it may continue to function - got a lot to do!
    Advice? very appreciated thank you! -ben

    Understanding crash logs isn’t easy and it’s hard (sometimes impossible) to decipher the cause of the problem. Take a look at Apple’s Crash Reporter document at http://developer.apple.com/technotes/tn2004/tn2123.html
    Also look at Tutorial: An introduction to reading Mac OS X crash reports
    http://www.macfixit.com/article.php?story=20060309075929717
    Kernel panics are usually caused by a hardware problem – frequently RAM, a USB device or a Firewire device. Since you've disconnected external devices, USB & Firewire don't appear to be a problem. Are you using an external mouse?
    Have you added RAM recently? To eliminate RAM being the problem, Look at this link: *Testing RAM* @ http://guides.macrumors.com/Testing_RAM Then download & use Memtest & Ramber.
    Do you have an Apple Hardware Test disc? Running the Apple Hardware Test in Loop Mode is an excellent troubleshooting step for finding intermittent hardware problems. It is especially useful when troubleshooting intermittent kernel panics. If Loop Mode is supported by the version of the Apple Hardware Test you are using, you run the Extended Test in Loop Mode by pressing Control-L before starting the test. Looping On should appear in the right window. Then click the Extended Test button.The test will run continuously until a problem is found. If a problem is found, the test will cease to loop, indicating the problem it found. If the test fails, be sure to write down the exact message associated with the failure.In some cases, RAM problems did not show up until nearly 40 loops, so give it a good run.
    Look at 12-Step Program to Isolate Freezes and/or Kernel Panics

  • IMac will kernel panic everytime

    After a 15 hr. Time Machine restore my Mac will kernel panic, even while trying to boot in safe mode. Using system disc I used disk utility to try and help, then I rebuilt with Disk Warrior but it still panics. I'm using target disk mode to backup all the data right now since I don't trust Time Machine anymore. (It's what got me into this mess.) Any advice for other diagnostics/fixes for a persistent kernel panic?

    horsesbreed wrote:
    No, I'm trying to boot from Snow Leopard disk.
    Did you do the Restore using a Snow Leopard disc? If not, reinstall Snow Leopard and apply the "combo" update per #E8.
    I was able to get a clean Apple Hardware Test out of it
    It's my understanding that even the extended tests won't necessarily find everything.
    Also try the (free) Rember, a heavy-duty memory tester, from: http://www.kelleycomputing.net/
    Where are your backups (external HD, network), how are they connected (USB, Firewire, Ethernet, wireless), and how much data is on your system?
    15 hours to do a restore might be reasonable, or might be extremely slow, depending on the circumstances. See #29 in [Time Machine - Frequently Asked Questions|http://web.me.com/pondini/Time_Machine/FAQ.html] (or use the link in *User Tips* at the top of the +Time Machine+ forum), for a very rough speed estimate.
    If the restore was way longer than it should have been, it may be a symptom of something else going wrong.

  • New Kernel Panic Issue (Followed Your Advice)

    I posted a thread a few months back about a friend who is having a persistent kernel panic issue. Some of you got back to me with some consistent advice- boot off the install disk, run a diagnostic. I haven't seen the computer since, but recently my friend took a job and left his computer here for me to see if I can fix it.
    I popped the install disk in and started the computer holding the "d" key as instructed. I am getting something I have never seen- a constant repeating:
    "! OUCH !!! : mshdlr loc zero not zero ! 00007007000000000h @:eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeh"
    This just repeats itself up the screen, over and over. Eventually, the hardware test box came up. I hit next, it started all over.
    This is a 20" Intel iMac running Tiger 4.11. HELP ***?!?!?!

    iCrane128:
    can this be because I am using my gray install disk from my 17' Intel iMac on his 20" Intel iMac?
    It can, indeed. Do you have the original disks for the computer you are testing?

  • Mac Pro Mountain Lion Kernel Panic Dual Video Cards

    I've been getting constant panics since upgrading to Mountain lion on my 2009 Mac Pro.
    Worth noting is I have dual GT 120 Video Cards and dual 30" LCDs.  Every panic seems to be caused by com.apple.NVDAResman
    This computer has been rock solid since 2009 and only after "updating" to Mountain Lion has it become unstable.
    Was hoping 10.8.1 and 10.8.2 would fix the issued, but neither have.  It's worse than ever.  Crashing every day.
    Already reinstalled the OS, tested the RAM, etc.  No change.  Still crashes everyday.
    What should I do?  It's really eating into productivity...
