Boot up iMac Intel. Kernal Panic can't boot up computer??

I'm fixing my friend iMac Intel first generation Dual Core 32 bit.
Not the lastest one. Since I know more of him with macs.
My friend trip off the power cord of his imac by accident one morning and when
he put the cord back in to the imac to power up.
Is stuck on the loading screen apple logo with a kernal panic and can't get no where.
In the background there is text like in the terminal with saying Apple CPU Power Management Debugger.
How do I resolve this problem

Hi Frank
Reset the SMC exactly as described in the article:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1543
It could be that the cord or surge protector was damaged, try using a different power cord and a different surge protector.

  • Imac g5 - kernal panic, can't restart, can't start from CD- HELP

    My iMac G5 went into a kernel panic last night, so I just shut it down. This morning tried to restart and it keeps going to the gray screen and telling me I need to restart my computer. I also got some code on the screen which mentioned kernel panic, so I'm pretty sure that's what happened (and I have had kernel panic problems in the past, but not recently). I put the system DVD in to try to start up from it, but it won't boot from the DVD. Does anyone know what this indicates?
    I had previously had the power supply fail (replaced under warranty about 2 1/2 years ago) and last year the hard drive failed and I replaced that myself. When the power supply failed, it wouldn't do anything at all, so I don't think it's that. Could it be the logic board? Anyway, I'm pretty much resigned to buying a new computer, but just thought I'd see if maybe I could keep it going for a few more months with an inexpensive solution. Any help appreciated! (Fortunately, I did learn my lesson when the hard drive failed and have a backup drive, so I won't lose my data.)

    Take a look at Dr Smoke's Resolving Kernel Panics and see if anything there helps you.
    It could well be the logic board, but it also could be corrupted directories. See if you can get hold of DiskWarrior or TechToolPro, they might be able to fix things.

  • Kernal Panic early in boot up.

    Got myself a brand spankin new MBP 15in 2.4 the other day!
    But, first time bootin the sucker up, got a kernal panic not 2 seconds into boot. Didn't even get past the white screen with the apple logo. Hm... Not a good sign... Especially when you're booting it up for the first time at the apple store
    Ok, shut down, boot up again. Oh! Kernal panick again. Hmmmm... Shut down, boot up. No problems this time.
    So I thought, well, I guess that's that.
    Then just last night, tried booting up again, got the same kernal panic at early boot.
    So I figure it's probably only when the computer is cold booting. Which seems to me like it would be some kind of hardware issue.
    Good thing for me I got AppleCare after learning my lesson with a harddrive on a powerbook but I wanted to see what everyone else thinks of this just for my knowledge.
    Laptop is sitting in my car right now, off, hopefully cold enough so that when I go to the Apple store later today it'll panic for the nice guys at the store.
    By the way, this is the first product I got with AppleCare, am I supposed to set up some kind of appt. with them or can I just show up?

    Well, I took it back to the store to get it exchanged, but they decided to run an Airport upgrade that apparently isn't released through software update... AirportExtremeUpdate2007004.dmg is the file.
    So far, no kernal panics... and it's been 2 weeks. Granted, I don't shut down my computer often now that I've completely transferred from my old powerbook.
    The laptop does freeze occasionally coming out of sleep, I don't think it's a related issue, but I'll search on it anyway.

  • Intel iMac, modem & Kernal Panics!?!

    Any update on the Kernal panics when trying to use the external Apple modem with the new Intel iMac?

    Hello,
    I experience pretty much the same problems as you. my specs: IMAc G5, 1.8 MHz, 512 MB, 1.5 years old (but not first generation).
    I had more memory, and airport extreme installed for all the time. since 2 weeks , things go crazy with exactly the same diagnostics as yours, which is a "kernel panic". This seems to be related with bad memory, incompatible third-party soft- or hardware. I would hate to pay so much money for a thing which is only 1.5 years old, thus i'm still looking whether i can locate the problem and solve it. It looks to me as if it is caused by some software settings, not failure of hardware. It occurs at startup or wake-up... but it is not reproducible.
    if you found a remedy, please tell me.
    thanks, Thomas

  • IMac Rebooting - Kernal Panic Problem

    Hi, I am hoping somebody can shed some light on a situation that has been occuring with my iMac. I am running OS X 10.8.2 4GB RAM, 2.93 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo. If there are any other details I can provide I will be happy to do so.
    I get an involuntary (meaning the iMac just does this without warning) reboot, usually while running a video file which has become more persistent since it started a few months ago. I have re-installed my OS which hasn't helped. If anyone can give me an idea of what might be going on that would be great. Thanks in advance! Here are the details of the Kernal Panic:

    Hi, Linc. The Wacom device was disconnected at the time when I tried to run the AHT. I am removing LCC and Little Snitch. Are we doing this to see if I can get AHT to run or to see if it stops the kernel panics? Thanks for your help.
    Also, on a side note. I have been browsing these (and other) forums for a while at times when I've needed to figure other problems out or out of curiosity. I don't ever remember seeing reports of these kernel panics before the release of Mouintain Lion. Now the forums seems to be littered with them. Is this something that is exclusive to or at least a lot more common when running Moutain Lion? Just curious.

  • 24" iMac refurb - kernal panic after apple logo

    I received a refurbished 24" C2D iMac on Friday and it seemed to be in perfect condition. Everything worked, and all of the updates were applied.
    Upon returning to the office on Monday, there was a kernal panic when awakening it. It also consistently panics at the blue screen before "Loading Mac OS X..." and after the gray apple logo screen.
    Starting in safe mode works fine. Starting from CD works fine.
    I have wiped the drive and reloaded OS X 10.4.7, with no change, and have updated to 10.4.8 and all the latest updates (including airport 2007_002), with no change.
    Apple Hardware Test from the install CD shows that everything checks out ok. The hard drive also passed all tests. I have tried each RAM module separately.
    The panic.log file indicates that there may be an issue with the video card:
    "invalid frame pointer" and
    "Kernel loadable modules in backtrace (with dependecies):
    com.apple.GeForce(4.3.8)@0x2c0e6000"
    Is there anything I can to single out the video card? Should I just put it back in the box and return it?

    First, I'd check this to see if the firmware is actually updated:
    http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/imacefifirmwareupdate11.html
    If not, read the read-me information available. It may be that upon restart you didn't hold down the button long enough for the indicator light to start flashing, which is the beginning of the actual installation (separate matter from the download). Remember that AirPort is an application, and preferably should be turned off post-download, pre-installation, for installation to be trouble-free.

  • IMAC G5 Kernal Panic

    My iMac G5 is unpredictably experiencing a kernal panic. I can not resolve the problem. The Apple Genius guys on Chestnut SF tell me it's not a hardware problem, but I'm not sure. I re-installed Leopard. It still happens. Sometimes at login. Sometimes after sleep. Sometimes at random times. It's driving me nuts (particularly since I had a circuit board failure on my other G5 requiring a new purchase 2 months ago). So I'm batting 0 for 2 right now.
    Here's the log. Any suggestions?

    In this case your panic does look like a hardware issue, but unfortunately what you've posted isn't quite enough to narrow it down.
    Regardless, if the Chestnut Geniuses are so confident it isn't a hardware issue, perhaps it's time to give the Stonestown or Union Square Geniuses a try.

  • IMac experiencing kernal panic.  What hardware could be at fault?

    My 21 inch iMac running Snow leopard with a 1.83 Ghz processor is not functioning properly.  I purchased the computer used from a local university and after a few months of running Leopard it displayed the gray kernal panic screen that says "you need to restart your computer".  I wiped the hard drive and did a fresh instal of Leopard and upgraded to Snow Leopard.  Computer ran fine for a month or so and is now malfunctioning again. 
    Symptoms are:
    1. Programs crashing - spontaneous crashing during use or occasionally complete failure to open a program before it quits.  Restarting the computer usually fixes this problem
    2. Hardware (iSight camera and airport card) not recognized.  Restarting the computer sometimes fixes this problem. 
    3. Boot failure - either sits at the screen with the apple logo and spinning wheel or gets stuck at the first blue screen.
    4. Computer has not yet displayed a kernal panic screen since reinstalling the OS
    Any ideas for what hardware/software might be at fault or a course of action to further diagnose the problem?  Local IT department just gave me the run-around.

  • After Kernal Panic can't see Time Machine Drive

    I have a usb iSub speaker.
    Apparently it is NOT compatible with Leopard but I have been following certain threads with interest as I hate to sell it just yet.
    Yesterday there was a post that said if you go into Audio MIDI Setup and change some settings, then change them back- your iSub will work!
    Well when I was in the Audio MIDI Setup utility I experienced a kernal panic (first since using Leopard)
    After that I was not able to boot past the Grey Apple Screen.
    I even left it overnight and it would not start.
    I finally reverted to my old Tiger backup external drive- I booted to that, then started my Tiger DVD,
    I ran Disk Utility, then Repaired permissions and I am back up and running.
    My Time Machine hard drive is not showing on my desktop though! (I have 2 external drives- one is my old Tiger cloned back up with SuperDuper- the other is my TimeMacine backup)
    I tried looking for it with DiskUtility but it is not seeing it either.
    Any advice would be helpful at this point.
    One other thing...it seems to be writing....the case the hard drive is in has lights on it and it is blinking..and I can hear it slightly.

    Hello:
    If I were you (and I am not), I would bundle up the repaired computer and your Time Machine drive and take it in and ask the Apple person to bring it back to life.  IMHO, that should have been done the first time.

  • Kernal Panic attack during Boot up

    When i boot up i get a kernal panic attack when this screen and says
    panic(cpu 0 caller 0x001A7BED): Kernel trap at0x00000000, type 14=page fault
    BSD process name corresponding to current thread:
    I cant quite read after the BSD Thread part seeing as the Kernal message attack comes up on the screen.
    I seriously need help.
    Running macbook model 2.1 with 2ghz processor 4GB ram. Running Leopard 10.5
    This actually happened was updating Leopard when I installed 10.5.. then when it was installing i put the lid down.. then brought it back up after a few mins.. and it was a black screen, pressed the power button.. Nothing? so i switched it off then switched it back on and then this happened..
    Now i dont know what to do

    Boot from your installer disc:
    Booting From An OS X Installer Disc
    1. Insert OS X Installer Disc into the optical drive.
    2. Restart the computer.
    3. Immediately after the chime press and hold down the "C" key.
    4. Release the key when the spinning gear below the dark gray Apple logo appears.
    5. Wait for installer to finish loading.
    If you get a kernel panic during the above then you have a hardware problem of some sort. Consider running diagnostics:
    How to run hardware diagnostics for an Intel Mac
    Boot from your original OS X Installer Disc One that came with your computer. After the chime press and hold down the "D" key until the diagnostic screen appears. Run the extended tests for a minimum of two or three hours. If any error messages appear note them down as you will need to report them to the service tech when you take the computer in for repair.
    Some "common" error indicators:
    SNS - sensor error
    MEM - memory error
    HDD - hard disk drive error
    MOT - fan error

  • Imac 21" mid 2011 can not boot from USB device?

    Hi,
    hope someone can help me.
    Bought the new imac 21" and replaced the superdrive with a ssd drive.
    Works great but it seems that the imac is not able to boot from any usb device.
    I put my osx install disk in my external dvd drive and powered my mac.
    While booting up (pressing cmd) the mac does not recognize my external dvd drive. This works great with my MBP late 2008. But the imac can not boot from the dvd drive. Also pressing "c" while booting does not work. Doing that a grey screen appears and after some time mac boots from hdd.
    So i installed mac os via target mode over firewire withbmy old imac. This works.
    But now i want to install windows on a bootcamp partition.
    I can't boot from the windows 7 professional dvd, too. So i tried to create a bootable win 7 thumbdrive. Mac can't boot from this too. Reading many threads in some forum i tried with rEEfit. Reefit shows the usb thumbdrive whike booting, but using this will end in a black screen error from bios: "no bootable device....". Tried a knoppix on the usb thukbdrive, too.... No bootable device....
    It seems that there is no way to boot from ANY external usb device like dvd drives or thumbdrives......
    What more can i do? I tried for 2 evenings now, but nothing worked out for me......
    Currently i don't see any any to install win 7 without an internal superdrive, but can this be??
    Thanks for any comments.
    Kwicks

    Internal is definitely the easiest but you can boot from external HD or external optical drive, the mac is just very picky on what works and what doesn't.
    For an external drive or usb stick it has to be GUID partition table and have 10.4.5 or better installed on it, for more info check this link out ( http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1948 )
    Hope this helps,

  • Kernal panic/ won't boot from hard drive or installation disc/ error type 1

    Friends PowerBook seems to be dying or is possibly dead.
    PowerBook G4 model A1138 or M9969LL/A:
    15 inch/ 1.67 ... http://support.apple.com/specs/powerbook/PowerBookG4_15-inch_Double-LayerSD.html
    K, so my friend's powerbook is in my possession... and not booting.
    A week ago, upon booting the laptop, he'd get the old OS9 looking folder flashing with THE happy face and then a question mark. Then, usually, it'd boot. It started taking longer and longer to boot, so he backed up all his stuff. It eventually stopped booting OSx (10.4.10) and came to me asking about how to reinstall Tiger.
    As of right now his machine will NOT boot from the hard drive, regularly or in safe mode.
    When we try the install CD, we get a kernal panic. It hangs, then tells us to restart. Every time.
    Holding down "alt" I tried the hardware diagnostic/ repair thingy from the install disc. It mentions a quick issue with finding Gineva fonts or something and then gives the following errors:
    type 1346978644 error 1
    type 1346978644 error 1
    Invalid memory access at %SRR0:00000000 %SRR1:00083030
    Thats about all we got. We are looking for a screw driver to try and remove a stick of ram and see if thats the problem. Any ideas? Hoping for a bad stick of ram or hard drive. Anyone know if for sure the logic board is dead or if there is a way to fix it? Appreciate any feedback. Happy to give more information if you need it!
    ~joel

    When you did the boot off the original system disk was anything non-Apple externally connected? If not, then you clearly have a hardware problem, and your idea of examining the RAM is not half a bad idea. The only thing you might want to do before that is zapping the PRAM. Sometimes that clears issues such as you describe:
    1. First determine if your machine is under 4 years old. If it is, then go ahead
    and do step 2. Otherwise do step 3.
    2. http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=2238
    3. Take it to an authorized service center to have the clock battery replaced. That may cause the very issues you described.

  • Several Issues including kernal panics, can't reinstall OS X, icons gone

    I've read what seems like a hundred threads on this forum the last 3 days with regard to similar issues to mine but not finding any help that seems to work with my situation, I'm posting this all in a new thread and welcome any suggestions/feedback.
    I'm not new to Mac, but it's been quite a few years since I had one and as such many things have changed. Overall, I've been very happy with my Week 43 MacBook Pro. Everything was running like a top - until just after Christmas.
    Then, my Adobe Illustrator program began "unexpectedly quitting." At first, there was no other problems with any other programs. Then, about 5 days ago, it started happening with ALL programs. And usually within just seconds of the program starting.
    I've tried deleting the preferences files, .plist files, and other such recommended steps all to no avail.
    Next, about 3 days ago, I started getting kernal panics, randomly. So far, there's probably been about 40 altogether.
    I have also tried reinstalling OS X but it tells me there's an error and can't complete. I've run Disk Utility from the OS install disc and it repairs preferences but when I try to repair disk, it says it there are errors on the disk and quits.
    I did try starting in Safe Mode, but the computer will not even start up. It quits immediately after the apple and the spinning gear start. I can start up regularly, though.
    Another issue I am now having which just started yesterday, is that folder icons are all missing. The words show up and program icons, machd icon and a few others are there, but no folder icons.
    I have had this a little over a month and no issues until right about the 30 day mark (I purchased it Thanksgiving weekend).
    I have an appointment later today at the Genius bar but would like any suggestions you all might have in the meantime.
    Thanks!
    Annie

    From your description you're simply having disk errors. At this point I would try DiskWarrior 4 to repair your drive and go from there. You have a couple of options here…
    1) Go out and buy DW 4 and try it yourself. It's a good purchase anyway.
    2) Wait for your appointment with the Genius and most likely he'll use DW 4.
    Either way I would suggest you don't use your MBP in the meantime. Often with disk errors your problems get worse the longer you keep it in operation. While it might not be the case for you there's no reason to be increasing your risk of data loss.

    Any help appreciated before I open her up!
    I had multiple crashes attempting to post this. Desktop at the point of not useable. GPU temps are between 35 C and 60 C.
    Also I can not get computer to crash in safe mode.

    Is it possible to add a different card
    Not to my knowledge. Whatever card you use would need to have Mac-specific firmware, so don't bother trying a PC card.
