Kernal panic / grey window freeze/restart help

Hi, here it is from the panic log. Anyone know what this problem is? I've got a 512 RAM card that is showing as 256 in the memory section of the system profile/about this mac, so maybe that piece of RAM is the problem. Any help would be much appreciated - Thank you.

Hi,
Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
I've got a 512 RAM card that is
showing as 256 in the memory section of the system
profile/about this mac, so maybe that piece of RAM is
the problem.
If you're sure it's supposed to be a 512MB card, it's a good bet that's your problem. You should try running the Apple Hardware Test from your original installation discs. Run the extended test if you don't get an error on the short one.
You can also try reseating and swapping the RAM around. Or just remove one stick and see how it runs.

Kernal Panic Report: Magic Mouse?    Help, please

hello, i am in need of some help understanding what is causing my mac to shut down. i thought i read somewhere that the first line in the kotex is what probably cause the kernal panic. here is the report. i was thinking is it this:
com.apple.driver.AppleBluetoothMultitouch 75.15
any help would be great. i have already performed a clean install to fix some other issues i was having with apps cause the system to crash and the finder freezing. what is weird, also, is avast and intego virus protectors have caused the system to crash. i deleted them and it got better. last night i tried to deleted all of the intego app/files using cleanbymac app uninstaller because the download did not come with an uninstaller. i dont think the uninstall was complete because i kept getting notification that netbarrierd and virusbarriern or d were still running. i could not even force quit them. i when in the apps packages and put it in the trash and uninstalled as much as i could. the crash report no longer says virusbarrier in the beginning. anyone have any ideas with this crash report. do i need a new driver for the magic mouse? i could not find an updage for it on apples site last night. last, i also read from apple that kernal panics are software related. i have already ran a thorough test on my hardware and it passed with flying colors. it was not the quick test either. it took an hour.
super thanks,
brian

Hi, see if Safe Boot works...
One way to test is to Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, Test for problem in Safe Mode...
PS. Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive
Reboot, test again.
If it only does it in Regular Boot, then it could be some hardware problem like Video card, (Quartz is turned off in Safe Mode), or Airport, or some USB or Firewire device, or 3rd party add-on, Check System Preferences>Accounts>Login Items window to see if it or something relevant is listed.
Check the System Preferences>Other Row, for 3rd party Pref Panes.
Also look in these if they exist, some are invisible...

Kernal Panic when updating. Please help

So I have 2 macs an old flat screen G$ and a new 24 screen intel Mac. My new one is fine but I wanted to update my old G4 I already had Mac OSX 10.4.05 on there but I wanted to use 10.4.7 so I could use the latest itunes. I don't have that one hooked up to the Net so I used my 10.7.4 start up disc to update it. However, it went through as normal then crashed giving me the Kernal Panic screen. Aside from a lot of numbers it came up with Panic CPU0 Unable to find driver for this platform. and ended in Panic were hanging here. It also told me to use the power button to restart, I tried this and it comes back to this screen. I can't get the disc out and can't get it to restart. I'd be happy to have the old OSX and have it working. What do I do??
Please Please Help!

First, if the 10.4.7 disk is not a generic version, then it won't work. The one for your iMac will not install on any other machine. Second, to get the disk out, hold the mouse click down, until the disk pops out.

I've been getting Kernal Panic!!! pls Help!

Alright so i had kernal panic before.. not sure if it's the same problem but i took a look at the problem and i got this:
Any Ideas?

Help with Kernal Panic; "You need to restart your computer..." on startup

My sister just gave me her old iBook G4. I don't know what OS it is running and I don't know the exact model beyond iBook G4. She is currently looking for the disks that came with it.
Everytime I try to start the computer, before I get past the screen with the apple, the screen goes grey and I get the following message:
"You need to restart your computer. Hold down the Power button for several seconds or press the Restart button."
Are there any diagnostics I can run without the discs that came with the computer? What should my first steps be? Is there any way to tell what OS or hardware I'm using without being able to boot up?
Thanks,
Brett

Hi Brett and welcome to Apple Discussions.
You could try Starting up in Safe Mode
What is Safe Boot, Safe Mode
Safe Boot takes longer than normal startup
Safe boot may by-pass the problematic process/hardware (the airport card is a frequent culprit) and enable you to boot sufficiently to find out the OS. Click on the blue Apple top/left, then 'About this Mac'. If Safe Boot is successful take a look at Macintosh HD/Library/Logs, particularly Console and Panic. I'm no expert on deciphering logs but you could copy/past the last couple of paragraphs of Panic into a reply.
Good luck,
Adrian

Kernal panics, boot loops, freezing and overheating Macbook.

Within the last week, my Macbook has been acting strangely. Here's a list of what has been happening, intermittently:
Turning itself off a couple of times (as if I've pressed and held the power button)
When turning on, looping the startup bong until I force a shutdown.
Frozen a few of times for more than 15 minutes (until I force shutdown).
Running warmer more than normal (the vent is warm to the touch).
When it's not suffering from this, the computer seems to run at normal speeds, and I haven't noticed any other issues.
I ran a RAM diagnostic program to check 3rd party RAM and all seemed to be fine.
Would be great to pinpoint the problem. I'm a bit of a noob though! Any help is greatly appreciated! Thanks!
General info:
Model ID: Macbook2,1 (White, 2007)
3rd party HDD (upgraded 12+ months ago, no issues)
3rd party RAM upgrade to 4GB (upgraded 3+ months ago, no issues)
OS X 10.5.8

Put your install DVD into the optical drive (CD/DVD drive) and reboot. Be sure to either use the disc that came with your Mac, or, if you installed a later Mac OS X version from disc, use the newer disc. As soon as you hear the boot chime, hold down the "c" key on your keyboard (or the Option Key until the Install Disk shows up) until the apple shows up. That will force your MacBook to boot from the install DVD in the optical drive.
When it does start up, you'll see a panel asking you to choose your language. Choose your language and press the Return key on your keyboard once. It will then present you with an Installation window. Completely ignore this window and click on Utilities in the top menu and scroll down to Disk Utility and click it. When it comes up is your Hard Drive in the list on the left?
If it is, then click on the Mac OS partition of your hard drive in the left hand list. Then select the First Aid Tab and run Repair Disk. The Repair Disk button won't be available until you've clicked on the Mac OS partition on your hard drive. If that repairs any problems run it again until the green OK appears and then run Repair Permissions. After repairing use Startup Disk from the same menu to choose your hard drive for restarting from your hard drive.

Spinning Beach Ball of Death and Kernal Panics - Capacitors?

Hi,
I got this email from my mother. This is her computer, not mine. I'm technically adept, so I'd be able to help her. I'm not sure this is actually a kernal panic, or if it's another issue such as capacitors?
================
Lately sometimes (at least every couple of days) when I first turn on my iMac G5 (1.6 GHz, 1.25 GB RAM, OS 10.3.9) after it's been shut off all night long, I get the colored spinning beach ball of death for a minute or so. Then the background on the monitor turns grey-green and in a box in the middle of the screen is "You need to restart your computer. Hold down the Power button for several seconds or press the Restart button" - this is written in four languages. I assume this is a kernal panic. When I restart the computer it's okay.
When I turned it on yesterday, however, the monitor was blue, but not normal blue as it was all "wavy." The dock only appeared about halfway up from the bottom of the screen, and only the bottom part of "Mail" appeared - no Mailbox or anything else. I turned it off with the power button and it was then all right.
Today the same thing happened, but I didn't get anything on the screen, except it was a "wavy blue" so I again used the power button to turn it off, and then when I restarted it it came on fine.
I've also noticed that the computer is much slower these past few weeks than previously, especially when using Safari. I have also seen the spinning beach ball of death in black instead of the usual colors.
I have not installed any new programs lately, nor ran any Software Updates lately. I have recently repaired my Permissions.
================
Thank you in advance for any suggestions and advice.
Robbi

Hi,
Here is the kernal panic log. Thanks. We have done Dr Smoke's Resolving Kernal Panics.

Kernal panic with OS X update

Hi all, I have a kernal panic on my MBP and have tried several things to fix it without success.
I was updating to OS X 10.5.8 via download, and after I restarted my computer as instructed, the computer shut down at approx 75% of installation. Since then I have been getting the kernal panic message with every restart. The issue continues even in Safe Mode.
The kernal panic is as follows:
panic(cpu 0 caller0x001AC125): Version mismatch between Kernel and CPU PM"!/SourceCache/xnu/xnu-1228.15.4/osfmk/i386.pmCPU.c:651
Debugger called: <panic>
further down it says:
Mac OS version:
Not yet set
1.83Ghz, 2GB RAM (installed after market, but several years ago)
available: 6.51 GB total: 74.21 GB
Bus speed: 667 MHz
I tried to Archive and re-install OS X but don't have enough available memory. I can't erase and re-install at this point unless I absolutely have to.
I'm at a loss as to what to do at this point. Any help would be great.

This can be caused by having a dysfunctional system prior to updating. The usual solution is to reinstall OS X. If you haven't enough disk space to do an Archive and Install, then you have the added problem of not having sufficient free space for OS X. I would suggest you get an external hard drive on which you can backup your files. Get a larger hard drive for your omputer or look for ways to store more of your personal data on an external drive in order to free up space on the hard drive. Then erase the hard drive and reinstall OS X.

Kernal Panic and 10.5

Since I have upgraded to 10.5 (now 10.5.2) I have had a problem with kernal panics on my Powerbook. When I start up the machine or wake it from sleep, if it has been idle for several hours, I will get a kernal panic shortly thereafter. Once I restart the machine it will be fine until the machine is idle for several hours. I have had the RAM checked and erased and installed 10.5 but with no luck. Has anyone else had a problem like this and if so have they done anything about it?

Nope, no blue screen. I just get the usual kernal panic gray "window shade" dropping down and the multilingual box telling me to restart. I have no third party system extensions installed, even though I would like to reinstall Macaroni but I won't until this is resolved.

Mini DVI to DVI monitor Kernal Panic

I have a 20" iMac Intel Core Duo, mini DVI to DVI-D adapter, cable, and Princeton 17" DVI-D monitor. When I hook up the monitor to the iMac I immediately receive a Kernal Panic. If I restart, it also results in a Kernal Panic. It does not matter if the monitor is on or off. No monitor, no Kernal Panic. The monitor does work with a VGA adapter on a mini mac and on a G4 PowerBook. I don't have a mini DVI to VGA adapter for the iMac, so have not tried that yet. But I'd much rather have it work with DVI. Any suggestions?

did you try running a repair disk, to see if it is software related?? you could also try pram reset. (apple-option-p-r at start up, and hold til you get two sets of chimes). you could also unplug power from power supply at back of mac mini and plug it back in after a few minutes. if none of these things worked, i would contact the manufacturer of the monitor.

How to resolve a Kernal Panic in Leopard

I am pulling my hair out with my MacBook Pro 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo Laptop running with Leopard.
3 weeks ago my laptop had a Kernal Panic. I made sure I had all my files backed up to my external drive which is a Western Digital My Book Essential Edition with 1 TB/TO of memory. At that time, I was using CS4 Photoshop, InDesign, Microsoft Word, Acrobat and Mail. I had large size photos saved on my hard drive and small movie clips so I removed them and only have my current work files saved on the hard drive and past work files saved on my external drive and any files I don't want to loose for sure burned to CDs. I was able to rule out that it is not a hardware issue by running Disk Utility from my OS disk. Then I uninstalled CS4 Design Premium. My laptop worked great for a couple of days without it. I then reinstalled CS4 and started having the Kernal Panics again. I thought Photoshop and InDesign was causing the problem. I decided to uninstall CS4 again then just install Dreamweaver and Fireworks because I needed to use them for a project. My laptop was working great for a couple of days then I had another Kernal Panic. Also, I noticed if I had my external drive plugged in it would slow down my computer so I only connect it when I am ready to back up my files for the day. So now I think I need to reinstall my OS. Below is today's Kernal Panic report. Can anyone help me interpret this and tell me what I am doing wrong/suggest solutions to resolve this? I am also thinking of upgrading my hard drive since it only has 160GB of memory and from what I read I need at least 120GB free to run Photoshop alone. Also upgrade the RAM...currently have 2GB 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM? Thanks.

Start up kernal panic???

I have my MDD G4 set to start up before I get up so I'm ready to start working. This morning I came into my office and the monitor was gray with a white square, about 1x1 inches, in the middle. Inside the white square was a blue representation of the earth. Is this a kernal panic? I tried restarting and came back with the same white square.
I restarted using my cloned external HD and repaired permissions on my internal startup drive. One permission was repaired, sorry can't remember the exact name, and it started with library/.... . Restarted using my internal HD and everything now operates normally.
Can one bad permission really cause this or is there possibly going on I should be worried about?
Thanks,
Doug

Dougles, that doesn't sound like a kernel panic.

The earth symbol is the network icon . . .
Maybe something happened to your network overnight?

MBP Frequent Kernal Panics

I returned my first model (hardware test resulted in errors) due to kernal panics. Now my second model is having the same problem. I have reinstalled OS X, the extended hardware test gives no errors, and yet I get a kernal panic at least once every 24 hours. The worst was yesterday, I had 3 in one day. I have stopped using Adium, Quicksilver, MS Office and Adobe software (although they are still installed). My last kernal panic happened when I was simply running Safari and iChat. I am hoping that someone else is sharing my pain, this is quite disturbing!
I have a 2.0 MBP with 1gig of Apple ram, everything stock. Here is the panic.log:

seagonus:
Thanks for your input. I see the airport data as well, but like you, I really don't have enough knowledge to determine if that is the actual cause.
If it were, what are the odds that I would get two completely seperate units with the same hardware error? I have searched the forums and I didn't see any other reports of airport hardware error. Anybody else seeing that?
To address your suggestion: Wouldn't doing a complete wipe and reformat accomplish the same thing as creating another user account?
Also, the only peripheral that I am using is my cellphone over bluetooth, and there does not seem to be a relationship between the phone and the kernal panics, ie. it crashes whether the phone is connected or not.
As much as I would like to find a solution, I would be happy to hear at least that I am not the only MBP owner with this many kernal panics. Thanks for your help so far!
MBP Mac OS X (10.4.5)

Grey startup screen on my profile, but I can access guest profile and my hardrive partition to windows?!?! I had a kernal panic after it was knocked off coffee table in my user account, now I cannot access it from safe mode or anything... :(

My laptop fell off the coffee table, and slammed shut. It then produced a kernal Panic to restart, which I did. It the brings up the user icons, mine and guest, but will not go past the grey screen with spinner on mine. It does let me into the basic safari setting I had on the guest user, AND when i press option on start up, will let me access the windows partition I have set up and all works fine.
I have tried safe mode, safe mode with display screen and the NVRAM/PRAM restarts, and nothing!
I have let the battery run completely, restarted, filled up the battery before starting.... everything.... anybody have any ideas? else I am going to have to visit a genius! grrrrrrr....
Thanks in advance!

Looks like that is what you are going to end up doing. No telling what was damaged internally.

My macbook from 2008 which I bought used worked fine for 3 weeks and then suddenly it started restarting and now it restarts, goes to grey apple screen and a code saying something about a kernel panic appears and it restarts again and again. Help?

Restart the computer and immediately hold the Option key down.
Select the Recovery partition and continue.
On the next pane, select Disk Utility and continue.
When DU opens, select your hard drive in the left column, click the First Aid tab, the click Repair Disk.
When that is done, quit DU and restart in the usual way.
