Constant Kernel Panics on fresh install of 10.8.2

Ever since upgrading to 10.8.2, my Mid 2010 MBP gets Kernel Panics related to the NVidia kext at least 5 times a day. When will apple finally fix this?? Here's the full kernel panic. It's the same thing every time. I have no third party .kext installed. I've blown this out and installed from 10.8 disc twice. It never starts to KP until the 10.8.2 update is applied. This is not hardware related since I did a fresh install of windows on the bootcamp partition as well and it runs just fine without crashing. On 10.8.2 it crashes without any peripherals plugged in except the charger and ethernet cable. I'm not ever taxing the system. It has safari or chrome open and that's it.

Except there are no specifics that say what the problem is they're looking for.
Apple has determined that a small number of MacBook Pro (15-inch, Mid 2010) computers may intermittently freeze or stop displaying video on the built-in display or on an external display connected to the MacBook Pro. In this situation, you may also see a restart warning message before the video is lost or the display turns black or gray. Affected computers were manufactured between April 2010 and February 2011.
This precisely is what has been happening with my system. I took it in a few months ago to a Apple authorized service centre and was denied coverage by Apple citing it wasn't the correct "cause" they were looking for; stating the problem originated in the CPU and not the graphics - but if we look at the problem they state - intermittently freeze of stop of video display, that is the same issue. Since then I have been back and forth with Apple trying to get a straight answer as to what the problem is with my machine, the exact specific of what they "cover" (they seem to make it up as they go along) and how my issue isn't the issue they're covering. Would also note my system has degraded to the point it is completely unusable and is now a really expensive paper weight. I took it in a second time to a different place, and they couldn't even diagnose the issue - Apple now cites they can't cover it because they don't have an error code.
Anyone who has been following this issue would also note how many times and how much the wording in that tech note (TS4008) has changed since it was first posted around September 2011 and would remember the second note (something about the display going black randomly) that has since been merged with TS4008 and now has been removed altogether from the note.

  • Constant Kernel Panics on Mavericks 10.9.5

    Hey Everyone,
    I really hope someone out there can help me out because these recent kernel panics I've been getting are driving me crazy because they always happen right in the middle of some important project I'm working on.
    Before I share the latest kernel panic diagnostic let me give you a bit of history on my computer. I'm running a late 2011 MBP with Mavericks 10.9.5. I had issues with the logic board in the past and got it replaced. I've only had the computer for a little over 2-2.5 years now, and started noticing lots of issues with it after an overall short period of time, mainly related to performance. The computer would run hot with the fans blazing just from watching an HD video on Youtube. Admittedly I do heavy graphics work with Adobe software and 3D apps like Cinema4D. Some of the research I've been doing regarding these kernel panics has lead me to believe that this could potentially be a heating issue. But let's not get ahead of ourselves. I decided that I would install more RAM in the computer, bringing it up from 8GB to 16GB. Apparently this Macbook model was only sold with a max of 8GB of RAM, but I heard that it could handle up to 16. So maybe this is potentially the issue, I am running more RAM than I'm "supposed" to, even though the system can technically handle it. Other people have reported issues with the Radeon graphics card (I've got the 6770 M installed).
    It doesn't end there though, unfortunately. About two months or so ago I started having major problems with Dashboard. After running processor intensive applications (it would seem), Dashboard would start eating up crazy amounts of memory, stalling all my running programs. Some people said that turning off apps within Dashboard that constantly received data (like the weather app for example) could be causing this. I did that, but it didn't help. I would have to constantly go into Application Manager and kill Dashboard. Eventually I got fed up with doing this and found out how to permanently turn it off. That helped with the memory issues. But THEN the kernel panics started happening. They had happened very rarely in the past, but now it is literally every 2-3 days. And the last bit of info I can share to hopefully help someone figure this problem out for me is that I think the last two times they happened, it was while I was in the middle of typing up a document in Open Office. It definitely did just happen while using Open Office, but I can't confirm the previous one. I am going to be very careful to note exactly which application I am using when it happens from here on out.
    Here's the Apple Diagnostic report from the last one:

    Really hope someone can help me out here and I'm praying that this is not a hardware issue because my Mac ain't under warranty anymore!

    Hi Eric,
    I downloaded the Etrecheck app and here is the report that it created:

    I took a look into the Library/StartupItems folder and I can see the "tun" folder which correspondes to that foo.tun process. Should I just delete the folder? Doesn't seem to be any way to turn it "off". Also, I'm not sure how to turn off or disable Google Chrome Helper. I've been reading from various other people that it has been causing memory leak issues, but couldn't find any way to disable it. Some even said that after they uninstalled Chrome, the Helper app was still running. What should I do about that? Thanks.

  • Constant kernel panic in regular boot sequence - HELP!

    Hi,
    I purchased my mac pro in march of 08. By june, my monitor had begun emitting a pink hue over everything. I replaced the monitor only to find that the problem was related to the computer itself, the pink color persisted on the new monitor. So I started using the one other working monitor port and researching the problem. I heard from a couple people that it sounded like a problem with my video card. It continued to worsen, the crash rate started to escalate slowly over a period of 4-5 months. Now it consistently crashes within 5 minutes of booting up, usually crashing immediately when the interface loads or shortly beforehand.
    I took it into an apple certified technician to have it looked at. I brought only the computer itself since the problem had persisted on multiple monitors. One week later, they told me there was nothing wrong with the video card and they couldn't reproduce the problems i had described. So i bought a new vga/dvi converter and brought it home only to find the EXACT same issues on both monitor ports, pink screen or constant kernel panic.
    So I zapped the PRAM 3 times, reset the power source, cleaned out the inside of the computer, played chinese firedrill with my ram cards, and rebooted in safemode. It FINALLY WORKS but ONLY in safemode which leads me to believe there is a faulty system extension or driver that is causing the kernel panic.
    What is the simplest way to resolve this problem? I can't spend 5 hours isolating the possible .kext files. Will upgrading my OS to leopard fix these issues, i.e. replace the system extensions with new files that might eliminate the problem?
    I appreciate anyone that can offer help. Thanks!

    Thanks BDAqua for your feedback!
    I checked the panic log and the system log but still can't see what might be causing the problem. I tried booting from disk by pushing the 'd' key directly after the startup beep and before the gray screen appears to no avail. I also tried the 'c' key, command-'d', and option-'d' to no avail. When i access the bootdisk from the volume on my desktop and click 'install mac os x' i get the following error:
    "Mac os 10.4 cannot be installed on this machine. Please consult the documentation for a list of supported Macintosh computers."
    This seems odd since i am running 10.4.11. Below is a sample entry from the kernel panic log and the correlated logs from system log at the time of the panic. Is there anything else i can do? I don't understand why the mac tech support wasn't able to reproduce these debilitating problems.

  • Constant Kernel Panic in OS X! HELP!

    Hey All!
    I got major problems with my Mac Pro.
    I continue to get Kernel Panic duing Software Update, Moving big amounts of files around, using different applications (everything from apple apps, games and Photoshop/Modo).
    I just reinstalled my comp and resettet my harddisk (wrote all zeroes to it) and got Grey Screen Of Death (please restart your computer) again. I booted my Mac Pro up as external harddisk and used my iBook disk utility to write zeroes to my Mac Pro Harddisk and it worked. Now after installing OS X, it supricingly crashed again with kernel panic.
    I did a hardware test using the DVD's i got with my Mac Pro. It said everything was in perfect order :/
    heres my panic.log

    All help is much appriciated! Sorry for my bad english.
    I dont know what to do to get rid of this constant kernel panic shutdowns
    Please write if you need more information. At the moment i dont know what to do.

    First you cannot format the Mac Pro using Disk Utility on your iBook. You need to use the Disk Utility on the OS X Installer Disc that came with the Mac Pro. Insert the OS X Installer Disc (Mac Pro) then restart the computer. After the chime press and hold down the "C" key until the gray startup screen with the dark gray Apple logo appears. Release the key when the spinning gear appears.
    Extended Hard Drive Preparation
    1. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. Then select Disk Utility from the Installer menu (Utilities menu for Tiger.)
    2. After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Note the SMART status of the drive in DU's status area. If it does not say "Verified" then the drive is failing or has failed and will need replacing. Otherwise, click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
    3. Set the number of partitions from the dropdown menu (use 1 partition unless you wish to make more.) Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled, if supported.) Click on the Option button and select the GUID partition scheme option then click on OK. Click on the Partition button and wait until the volume(s) mount on the Desktop.
    4. Select the volume you just created (this is the sub-entry under the drive entry) from the left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
    5. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled, if supported.) Click on the Options button, check the button for Zero Data and click on OK to return to the Erase window.
    6. Click on the Erase button. The format process will take 30 minutes to an hour or more depending upon the drive size.
    7. After formatting has completed quit DU and return to the installer. Now proceed to install OS X.
    If the computer kernel panics when starting from the DVD then there is likely a hardware problem. You can run the hardware test by again restarting with the OS X Installer Disc and after the chime press and hold down the "D" key until the hardware test screen appears. I suggest you run the long tests to see if any hardware faults are detected.
    Hardware problems can only be resolved by taking the computer to your local Apple service center.
    Why reward points?(Quoted from Discussions Terms of Use.)
    The reward system helps to increase community participation. When a community member gives you (or another member) a reward for providing helpful advice or a solution to their question, your accumulated points will increase your status level within the community.
    Members may reward you with 5 points if they deem that your reply is helpful and 10 points if you post a solution to their issue. Likewise, when you mark a reply as Helpful or Solved in your own created topic, you will be awarding the respondent with the same point values.

  • Constant Kernel Panics? Black Screen? Video problems? You should know about this Class Action Suit against Apple for selling defective logic boards.

    CLASS ACTION FILED AGAINST APPLE FOR DEFECTIVE MACBOOK LOGIC BOARDS
    I was one of the many unfortunate individuals who ended up paying Apple the $310 repair fee (more than $400 total, diagnostics included) to fix what was a defective logic board causing constant kernel panics. I don't think the suit has come to a conclusion or a settlement has been reached, but after spending the last month or so on this board trying to diagnose my kernel panics, I figured many others with similar problems would be interested in knowing about this.
    If anyone has any more up-to-date information on the suit or on what individuals should do if they believe they fall into the Plaintiff Class, please share!

  • Constant Kernel Panics in PowerMac G5...

    My uncle's PowerMac G5 is having constant kernel panics, almost every time it's turned on. Does repairing permissions in disk utilities, is a good step to ry and fix the problem?
    The computer is running leopard 10.5.

    You did not say how much time elapses after startup before the G5 experiences a Kernel Panic. Given the age of the machine, it is possible that your Uncle's G-5 needs a good internal cleaning.
    Do not just blow out the dust with an aerosol. That leaves a dust film on the surface of the electronic components which acts as an insulator. I suggest that you remove all boards and vacuum them separately using a soft brush head. Pay particular attention to graphics cards with fans mounted on the GPU. These accumulate an unbelievable amount of dust. Blow them out first then vacuum.
    Don't forget the CPUs. Remove the aluminum covers and clean the visible surfaces. The covers a very flimsy so be careful when removing and replacing them or they will not snap back into place when you put the machine back together.

  • MacPro 2010 Unibody constant kernel panic. HELP

    I have tried everything to try to fix my constant crashes. I noticed the problem when I installed Mavericks and more frequently when i fresh-installed Yosemite. I have an SSD and installed new ram sticks which I don't think can cause the problem. I know that there is a defect in these models and that the source is the GPU but does anyone have a solution? I don't want to shell out hundreds of dollars to pay for something that is a manufacture's fault; I think we all paid enough for the laptop itself.
    Here are the things I have tried:
    1) Installed gFxCardStatus (to no avail)
    2) Wiped my hard drive clean
    3) Installed Yosemite (which apparently only made it worse)
    Here is the panic report:

  • Constant kernel panic on iPhoto startup

    I've been having this issue for a few months now and I've been hoping an update would come out that would magically fix the issue.  I'm getting a kernel panic a few seconds after startup of iPhoto.  I can open up iPhoto fine in my Guest account.  I've gone so far as to wipe my drive clean and do a fresh install of ML but the issue returned. I'm running an early '08 Mac Pro.  Here's some of the crash log.

    Since iPhoto runs OK in your guest account it could be a preference file other than iPhoto's in your account.  Here's a way to check that out:
    Trouble Shooting Preferences
    NOTE: In Lion and Mountain Lion the Library folder is now invisible. To make it permanently visible enter the following in the Terminal application window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and hit the Enter button - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder.
    1 - close all applications.
    2 - open your Home/Library folder and Option-drag (copy) the Preferences folder to the Desktop. 
    3 - select the contents of your Home/Library/Preferences folder and drag them into the Trash bin in the Dock.  You will be asked to provide your Admin password.
    4 - reboot.
    5 - run the application again and determine if the problems is fixed
    6 - If the problem is fixed:
    A - open the working Home/Library/Preferences folder.
    B - Open the Preferences  folder on the Desktop, select all of the contents and drag them into the working Home/Library/Preferences folder.
    C - When the Copy window pops up check the "Apply to All" check box and then click on the Don't Replace or Skip button.
    D - reboot.
    7 - If the problem is NOT fixed, drag the contents of the Preference folder on the Desktop into the Home/Library/Preference folder and replace the entire contents that were created by clicking on Replace.
    8 - reboot.

  • NetInstalls/Restores Failing - Constant Kernel Panics

    Hello all -
    Before I begin, I admit to being a little over my skis and a bit of a rube when it comes to this stuff - I know just enough to royally screw stuff up.  I've tried to do my due diligence in searching on the topic but haven't come up with anything that seems to work.
    I'm trying to create images that I can deploy in a school setting with mavericks server.  Specifically, trying to install simple images of 10.9.5 on some of our iMacs - yes I have the installer from the app store on the machine used to make the images.  Making the images doesn't seem to be the problem.  I can make them, get them into my netbootspo folder and all machines see them in the startup disk.
    The problem occurs when trying to install the image.  I generally get a continuous kernel panic.  Usually immediately, sometimes a few minutes in.  On occasion the install just "freezes."
    Images are set to install via NFS.
    I'm working on machines plugged in via ethernet
    I've tried looking a the logs on a client - i don't really know what to look for though.  I do see:
    something about missing core services
    [375:303] layoutstill needs update after calling -[NSSscrollViewLayout]
    In the server log I only see:
    BSDP offer sent
    and
    BSDP DISCOVER
    The clients I'm working with are older (pre 2011 machines).  There are students using the newer models and I don't want to affect any work/projects they're doing.
    I can update machines via a bootable installer on a flash drive and bring them back to life - I'm just trying to make it a bit easier on myself (whats that about best-laid plans?) and utilize server to do it.
    Thanks for looking, and thanks for your patience with me.

    I've tried making new images a few times with no change in behavior on the client side...even made them from different machines to be sure with freshly downloaded installers.
    Yes, this is a super basic net install with zero extra steps added by design.  From the get go i wanted to simply get my feet wet with the process before I tried any fancy stuff.
    On:
    #1 - I'm able to run the same OS installer from a bootable flash drive and all is well.  This was actually the motivation to start this project, so I didn't have to run around chasing flash drives (eventually) around my district.
    #2 - has been a suspicion of mine, pinpointed what and where though....I'll try HTTP, along with..
    #3 - Verbose mode.  Thanks for that tip.  I'll report back.

    Hi everyone,
    lately I have had a lot of trouble with my G5 dualcore 2.0. It almost always has trouble booting the first times after a long power off phase (that is in the morning after the night being off most of the time). First it was only the very first booting now I need to restart the computer at least three or for times until it starts. It now always quits (right after the grey screen at the beginning) with the same kernel panic as follows:
    panic(cpu0 caller 0x002Ei028): unable to find driver for this platform:"PowerMac11.2"
    latest stack backtrace for cpu0:

    This is what always happens. I think it startet with 10.4.8 but now happens definitely a lot more and I just installed 10.4.7 on my second hard drive making it primary and I also un-plugged all peripherals (printer, isight, USB-stick).
    Anyone any suggestions what to do next?
    Thank you!
    DualCore 2.0 G5   Mac OS X (10.4.7)  

    Thank you both.
    I will try the PRAM resetting next.
    First I checked both of my harddisks and did the repair on the larger one (which now is my secondary drive, the primary has a fresh 10.4.7 installation on it without any special programs or peripheral drivers) Actually I thought this was it but unfortunately a couple of hours later when I wanted to start the machine there was the same strange panic while booting.
    The S.M.A.R.T is verified; both disks are recognized as normal and working by the OS.
    The strange thing is that I always run into the following:
    1) I try to start the machine in the morning and it does not work
    2) I try it three or four times and most of the times it still doesn't work.
    3) Then I keep pressing the alt-key and select my booting drive (the new installed OS 10.4.7 harddisk)
    4) It always works (however sometimes the OS does strange things like loading only part of the finder GUI or it instantly quits iphoto after I try to start it)
    5) Then I change things like checking the harddrives and I hope it will work
    6) Then I try to reboot a couple of times (either soft or hard reboot) and it always does.
    7) Then after a couple of hours with the computer off (or most of time the next morning) I try to start and find myself at number 1
    I have had a very similar problem with a windows machine about 10 years ago. The battery of the bios was broken or old or whatever and it just needed a couple of starts until it worked because it got some charge. However I have never heard of broken batteries in macs.
    Maybe some of you have any more suggestions.
    Next thing I will try is the PRAM reset

  • Still getting Kernel Panics after fresh installation of Mavericks. Why?

    Hello,
    My Macbook Pro (mid 2011 I believe) has been having random Kernel Panics for a long time. Today I finally got around to doing a fresh install/upgrade to Mavericks from Mountain Lion. Since then I've already had 2 Kernel Panics. My computer isn't necessarily doing anything taxing, the last 2 KP's happened while my computer was dowloading a game, and I was not using it for anything else. Sometimes I can use the computer for hours, sometimes it crashes every half hour.
    The computer has been to the Apple store where they said they have not been able to reproduce the problem. This is very confusing to me, after taking the computer home I had a crash in 10 minutes. I'm running out of ideas. It seems to me that this is a hardware failure (even though diagnostics never showed anything, but I know these aren't guarantees). Are there any steps I can take before I start replacing my hard disk/RAM?
    I've included the last 2 panic reports below.
    Thanks in advance!

    That panic was not caused by third-party software, and the "etrecheck" output is irrelevant. If the problem is recurrent, the possibilities are:
    A stale or corrupt kernel cache
    A damaged OS X installation
    A fault in a peripheral device, if any
    Corrupt non-volatile memory (NVRAM)
    An internal hardware fault (including incompatible memory)
    An obscure bug in OS X
    You may already have ruled out some of these.
    Rule out #1 by booting in safe mode and then rebooting as usual. Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Post for further instructions.
    You can rule out #2 and #3 by reinstalling the OS and testing with non-essential peripherals disconnected and aftermarket expansion cards removed, if applicable. Sometimes a clean reinstallation may solve a problem that isn't solved by reinstalling in place.
    Corrupt NVRAM, which rarely causes panics, can be ruled out by resetting it.
    If your model has user-replaceable memory, and you've upgraded the memory modules, reinstall the original memory and see whether there's any improvement. Be careful not to touch the gold contacts. Clean them with a mild solvent such as rubbing alcohol. Aftermarket memory must exactly match the technical specifications of the machine.
    Apple Diagnostics or the Apple Hardware Test, though generally unreliable, will sometimes detect a fault. A negative test can't be depended on. Run the extended version of the test, if applicable.
    In the category of obscure bugs, reports suggest that FileVault may trigger kernel traps under some unknown conditions. Most, though not all, of these reports seem to involve booting from an aftermarket SSD. If those conditions apply to you, try deactivating FileVault.
    Connecting more than one display is another reported trigger for OS X bugs.
    If your system is not fully up to date, running Software Update might get you a bug fix.
    In rare cases, a malformed network packet from a defective router or other network device can cause panics. Such packets could also be sent deliberately by a skillful attacker. This possibility is something to consider if you run a public server that might be the target of such an attack.
    Otherwise, make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store to have the machine tested. You may have to leave it there for several days. There isn't much point in doing this unless you can reproduce the panic, or if you can't, it happens often enough that it's likely to be repeated at the store. Otherwise you may be told that nothing is wrong.
    Print the first page of the panic report and bring it with you.

  • Constant Kernel Panics- Please help!

    Hi,
    I am currently running Mountaint Lion 10.8.5 (haven't updated to mavericks quite yet) on a 2.53 GHz Intel core 2 duo Macbook Pro.  I'm not sure of the year it was made but if that's really important I can look up the serial.  Anyways, this thing is making me crazy.  Kernel Panics ("your computer shut down because of a problem") have become an extraordinarily common part of my life.  The more demanding the task (LOW resolution games would be the most demanding), the more frequent the Panics. Sometimes it even happens when I'm just browsing or watching netflix.  Usually before the kernel panic occurs the computer has heated up quite a bit and the fan starts wurring like an engine.  I do consistently use my laptop on my bed; I heard that may be affecting the airflow to the vents.  But I assure you the Panics occur on flat surfaces as well.  I bought this machine used so I don't know it's full history, but under my care, it has taken no spills, drops, or damages otherwise.  I have tried many things to help: Repairing my hard drive with Disk Utility, resetting my PRAM, cleaning things up with MacKeeper, even global virus scans that come up clean.  I don't claim to be any kind of expert, but I have tried all the tools at the disposal of my knowledge and I am really starting to get frustrated.
    My last OS update was recent; far after panics started to be a problem.
    I pray to god this is not a hardware issue.
    Any help would be of the highest appreciation

    PS I don't know if anyone could help with this, but my machine also runs unbelievably slow considering it has 8 whopping Gigabytes of RAM.

    Aaron is a boy,
    you can replace your two 4 GB 1333 MHz memory modules with two 4 GB 1066 MHz memory modules, so that you can continue to have a total of 8 GB of RAM installed. Having the proper speed RAM installed in your MacBook Pro will make a world of difference compared to its current performance. The little white booklet that originally came in the box with your MacBook Pro shows how to replace the memory modules, if you’re comfortable with performing minor upgrades; the important thing is to discharge any static electricity on you by touching something metallic before handling the memory modules or touching anything inside of your MacBook Pro. If you’d be more comfortable with someone else doing the memory module installation, then any competent computer shop would be able to do it.

  • 15" Macbook Pro Mid 2010 . Constant Kernel Panic and Reboot

    Hello, im having this issue from six months ago. The problem its a constant rebooting of my mac , when turned on shows a Kernel Panic inform that i copy here. I have contacted the tech support here in my country ( Argentina ) but they can not solve the problem. They told me than cand be a logic board issue, but in all the hardware test the macbook get an OK ! The only strange they discover is a electric problem in the usb ports, but i dont have any problems whith pen drives or usb external disks.
    The rebooting its unpredicible , but in some cases like using the spacebar for previewing files if i do it five or six times it reboots instantly showing then the Kernel Error.
    I really nedd help !
    Thank you, and sorry for the monkey insland English !

    You have the MacBookPro6,2, the Edsel of Macs. It may be covered by this program:
    MacBook Pro (15-inch, Mid 2010): Intermittent black screen or loss of video
    Make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store to have the machine tested. The routine hardware diagnostics used by service providers may not detect the fault. There is a specific test for this issue.
    Print the first page of the panic report, and the support page linked above, and bring them with you.
    Note that the replacement program only applies within three years of purchase. If you wait beyond that date, Apple may refuse the service.
    Back up all data on the internal drive(s) before you hand over your computer to anyone. If privacy is a concern, erase the data partition(s) with the option to write zeros* (do this only if you have at least two complete, independent backups, and you know how to restore to an empty drive from any of them.) Don’t erase the recovery partition, if present.
    *An SSD doesn't need to be zeroed.
    You may be able to stop the panics by disabling automatic graphics switching in the Energy Saver preference pane, but that's not a solution. 
    Most likely, the logic board will be replaced. Sometimes the replacement part is also defective, so be prepared for that possibility.

  • Constant kernel panics since Mavericks update

    Hardware is a mid 2010 MAcBook Pro 15", i7 2,66ghz, 8 GB RAM, 512 MB Video RAM.
    I encounter regular kernel panics for a while now, I think since upgrading to Mavericks. Usually it used to happen every now and then, between once a week and once a month. So I did not really worry in the beginning. As it started getting on my nerves and neither volume repair nor hard ware test did indicate anything wrong, I decided to do a clean install of the latest Mavericks version a few days ago to see if that helps. kernel panics are still there and with the update to 10.9.3. today it seems even worse. I already had two kernel panics today, which make it four this week.
    Attached is the latest kernel panic log:
