Kernel Panic resulting from force restart

My MBP has gone into Kernel Panic and I am not certain how to resolve. By resolve, I mean get back to my desktop/applications The Kernel Panic resulted from a force restart, held down the Power button because I was attempting do a regular shutdown but was not able to force quit some applications..they seemed to be hanging. Safari was one, iPhoto...also I had just synced a new iPad2. Maybe I didn't disconnect the iPad2 properly? I did have anything connected to the MBP...
I tried to startup in Safe Mode...but will not, just the kernel panic with instructions to hold down power button and restart...my MBP runs pretty well and I have never had a Kernel Panic since I bought it in August 2009
I do have most of the files backed up using TimeMachine on an external drive...
I have a my 15-inch MacBook Pro Mac Os X install DVD, that came with the Laptop...
There might have been another DVD that came with the box set/ I also have my Snow Leopard upgrade DVD. I believe I was running 10.6.5 but I keep up with the System Software updates and I was also getting prompted to update to the latest 10.6.7, so maybe I had 10.6.6.
So Kernel Panic is has never happened before, I didn't add anything, except for an iPad2 sync... but I believe that I got too impatient to shutdown when I couldn't force quit apps as quickly as I wanted too
I think the Apple Software updater was open, although I did not initiate an update, other apps included: Microsoft Word Safari, iPhoto, iTunes, Dreamweaver, Adobe Illustrator CS..maybe Photoshop..Yeah I think I had too many apps open when I tried to force restart. In practice I do not force restart...usually never. So to recap, I got impatient, force restarted with way too many apps, some big apps open, and set off a kernel panic on my MBP with no other devices attached.
I know part of the steps to recover involves booting from a DVD, but which one? The Mac OSX X Install DVD or the Snow Leopard Upgrade DVD? then...how to I get back to TimeMachine to do a restore if necessary?
thanks in advance.
Patrick

Sadly,
After running and completing the hardware test which is passed..I then booted off the Snow Leopard DVD and ran the Disk Utility and to Repair the Disk and it said the Disk is not repairable..
Invalid Node Structure
And told me to back up my files.
So...I suppose the next steps:
Try to run DiskWarrior, to either fix the Invalid Node Structure or at least
retreive the files thru the HD preview.
Boot off the Snow Leopard DVD and reformat the drive and then, I should plug my external hard drive back in with the save Time Machine Data and I can click Restore and pretty much get back what I had when Time Machine made its last back up?
If Disk Warrior does not work. How can I try to get some files off the computer before I reformat the disk ... without using DiskWarrior? With or without DW I want to try a restore...
Is it a best practice to reformat the HD and then do a "Restore" off a bootable DVD? This would eliminate any previous issues and start off with a sound drive as opposed to trying to go right to a "restore" procedure.
Thanks again!

    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.

  • Kernel panics, spinning wheel and restart dialogs on startup

    Problems:
    After updating to 10.4.5... and reinstalling the system 5-6 times from scratch I have been getting kernel panics, spinning wheels and restart dialogs on startup intermittent.
    The latest panic:
    Panic (cpu 0 caller 0x002E0368) Unable to find driver for this platform PowerMac 8,1.
    Kernel Version 8.5.0
    There have been all sorts of kernel panics but I don't get a panic log since system seems to panic in such an early stage.
    This has been done, more than once:
    - Disconnected everything
    - Reformatted HD and reinstalled from original CD
    - Downloaded combo updates from Apple website and installed them after repairing disc and permissions first.
    - Starts fine
    - Repaired permissions again, after restart.
    - installed one app at a time (latest updates on every app), allways restarting to see if everything still is fine, which it is.
    - Reconnecting external drive, burner, printer etc. allways checking if everything is fine by doing a reboot. It is.
    Computer seems happy, and so am I...
    Next morning, a kernel panic, or a reboot dialog or spinning wheel at startup. I reboot, cross my fingers, and it starts up first, second or third try. No panic log other than the screen on startup.
    - I reinstall combo update, restart and do a command-alt-P-R on the #&%?! and everything is fine... untill next day.
    - I run Apple Diagnostic and there is a problem with one of the memory cards. I try it again and again looping. Now no problems found?! So I rum Memtest and still no problems found.
    - I do this over and over againg to the point of physical illness.
    - I reboot from my external drive with 10.4.3 without any problems whatsoever.
    - Go back to 10.4.5 and the problems start again.
    - I remove Apple caches, Extension caches, ATS and all that. Boots fine... untill next day?!
    The most irritating thing is that once the computer boots up there are no apparent problems whatsoever using it.
    I have read every post on kernel panics here, at apple website and at The X Lab. Tried - in my opinion - everything without getting to the bottom of it.
    What did I forget?
    What havent I tried?
    I want my trusted Mac back!
    Very thankful for any help whatsoever.
    P.s. Since the computer works fine in 10.4.3 I don't see the point of taking it to service. It has to bee software related, no?

    Thank You for Your quick responce!
    I have 2 1GB DIMMs installed from the shop when I bought my iMac. I read http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=86814 about iMac Memory Specs and if I understand it correctly I could remove one of the DIMMs to test if the problem goes away. Although the computer will run better with two DIMMs it will work with one slot empty as well.
    Did I understand that correctly?

  • Kernel panic booting from external usb key or CD

    I detected small Hard disk problems on my Macbook Pro (10.6.8 totally updated)  using disk utility so I decide to restart from CD but have a kernel panic when booting from CD. I also tried to boot from an external USB key that had 10.6 installation on it (the usb key is working because my friend test it on its own computer) and the same happens: a constant kernel panic when I try to boot from an external drive.....
    The kernel is showing a kind of com.apple.driver.cpumanagment problem.
    I tried everything: I reset the pram, the smc, did a safe boot from my internal partition, try the other usb slot, nothing works. I always have a kernel panic booting from an external source....
    What could it be?

    It looks like you are trying to run a Mac OS X version which isn't compatible with your Mac, so I suppose you have a Mid 2010 or Early 2011 MacBook Pro.
    These MacBooks Pro came with a special Mac OS X Snow Leopard version, and you can't start in them from a Mac OS X version older than the one that came with them or from a Snow Leopard retail DVD or USB drive

  • I just replaced the hard drive on my macbook pro, reformatted new hard drive and copied over a backup from time machine now I have a kernel panic message (you must restart) - what do I do now?

    i just replaced the hard drive on my macbook pro, reformatted new hard drive, installed a back up from time machine and now have kernel panic ( you must restart your computer) what do I need to do?

    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, press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ If you’re running Mac OS X 10.7 or later, open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the page that opens.
    Select the most recent panic log under System Diagnostic Reports. Post the contents – the text, please, not a screenshot. For privacy’s sake, 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 "shutdownStall" or "hang" reports.
    If you can't boot in the usual way, try a safe boot. The instructions provided by Apple are as follows:
    Be sure your Mac is shut down.
    Press the power button.
    Immediately after you hear the startup tone, hold the Shift key. The Shift key should be held as soon as possible after the startup tone, but not before the tone.
    Release the Shift key when you see the gray Apple icon and the progress indicator (looks like a spinning gear).
    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.
    Safe mode is slower than normal, and some things won’t work at all.

  • Trying to recover from constant kernel panics 'You need to restart your...'

    Since last night I've been having major problems with my MBP. After installing some software on my Windows 7 Bootcamp partition, and following a restart, I got a kernel panic and the message "You need to restart your computer.." in 5 languages, and the screen would freeze.
    Disconcertingly the desktop video was totally screwed up - the best way I can describe it is that a looked like a really, really bad 8-bit display, with huge blocky pixels.
    Multiple attempts at pressing and holding the power button, then restarting, simply replicated the problem. In the end I was eventually able to boot up using a superduper clone. I decided to reformat the MBP HDD and copy the clone over. However, during the process the screensaver came on and froze the system, so I had to restart and repeat the process, this time switching off energy saver preferences and the screensaver.
    So I'm back up and running (for now). I'm about to restore my energy preferences and test out the screen saver. Fingers crossed, but in the meantime, has anyone else come across an issue like this?
    I've got 3rd party RAM installed, have had it for over a year, so not sure if this is the problem (hasn't been so far). As part of my initial troubleshooting I tried resetting PRAM but this had no discernible effect, other than to make the patchy block video more uniform (if that makes sense?)
    I haven't tried the Apple Hardware Test yet, just got to find my original disks! Spec of MBP as per signature below.
    Lastly, after I restored my system a browser window appeared, pointing to a file in my system library which contained the following:
    # File lib/activerecord/connection_adapters/postgresqladapter.rb, line 116
    def quote(value, column = nil)
    if value.kind_of?(String) && column && column.type == :binary
    "'#{escape_bytea(value)}'"
    else
    super
    end
    end
    Any views / comments / tips greatly appreciated.

    Sorry for the lengthy post, but I wanted to post exactly what came up when I was luckily able to surpass the grey screen. I don't know what to do, and I can't find the startup disk that came with the computer 3 years ago.
    HELP please!!!

  • Kernel Panic: You need to restart you computer. Hold down the Power button until it turns off, then press the Power button again.

    I apologize for writing a book, but I think explaining the full story may possibly get me a correct answer.  I hope that someone can give me some insight as to what is the problem with my MacBook Pro.  I have a MacBook Pro (15-inch Early 2008), model identifier: MacBookPro4,1 running OSX Lion 10.7.5 with 6 GB memory.  My wife first noticed a problem with the display.  Every so often it would get fuzzy with jumping lines going across the screen making it vitually unviewable.  The final time that incident took place the computer froze which required holding down the power button to restart the computer.  The computer started up to the point of the Apple logo and the spinning gear for quite some time until the screen darkened from top to bottom displaying the following message in five different languages: "You need to restart your computer. Hold down the Power button until it turns off, then press the Power button again."  I have read other blogs and support communities where people get the message intermittently, but my computer would not go past that point no matter what.  Through research and the Apple Store I was told that this is a Kernel Panic.  The so called "Apple Genius" at the local Apple Store was unable to get the computer to boot past that point even with his gadget.  It would not startup in recovery mode, safe mode or off of a disc.  I forget exacty what he told me, but he said it was getting past the first two startup steps, but it would not get past the third step which is to mount the desktop.  He guessed that it may be a problem with the hard drive; a loose wire or something or other.  I disconnected the hard drive completely and took it out.  Everything appered to be connected properly.  Then I installed it back correctly, but it did not solve the issue.  So I guess I disproved his theory of a loose wire...  I purchased ProSoft Data Rescue 3 and connected my MacBook Pro to another Apple computer using a firewire 400 cable.  I was able to get everything I needed off of the hard drive.  I did some more research and I decided to restart the MacBook Pro in verbose mode (holding down the command button and V button).  The computer magically started up!!!  I was upset that I wasted my money on the ProSoft Data Rescue 3.  I managed to take additional items off of the computer and back it up on to an external hard drive.  After some time the computer froze.  I repeated the power button process to restart and received the same kernel panic.  I managed to get the computer to startup approximately six or seven more times via verbose mode; each time the computer staying on for a shorter amount of time before it would freeze.  I managed to run Disk Utitlity.  I performed first aid to fix the hard drive and it said that the hard drive appeared to be fine.  After first aid I erased the hard drive and booted off of a Lion disc to perform a clean install or an erase and install.  Lion installed until the progress bar got the the end where I received a message that there was an error installing Lion, please try again.  Each time I attempted to install the software I would receive the same message.  Eventually the computer would not boot from the Lion disc.  I went back to the Apple Store and the Apple Genius was able to get the computer to boot off of his gadget where Lion istalled completely.  I set up the computer as a new computer.  He said that he partitioned the hard drive as DOS and then back to Mac OS Extended (Journaled) which would get rid of any errors the drive may have had.  He guessed that the problem was the hard drive, but was not exactly sure.  When I brought it home I installed all of the software applications I had on it previously.  Approximately three days later, which may have been the fifth of sixth time starting up the computer, the display became fuzzy again and the computer froze.  The computer did restart once and I was able to retreive a "log" which I have pasted below.  After if froze for the second time it restarted once using verbose mode and froze almost immediately.  After holding down the power key to shut it down and then restart; I received the same kernel panic after the Apple logo and spinning gear which put me right back to square one.  Now the computer will not boot via any method.  It freezes at the end of verbose mode which forces you to hold down the power button to shut down.  I also read that poorly seated ram may cause this issue, but I removed and installed the ram multiple times.  I even purchased new ram from Other World Computing (Mac Sales) 6 GB, but that did not make a difference.  I think I may see six possible problems on the verbose screen mode, five errors and one warning; I will type them out here:
    1. SMC: :smcReadKeyAction ERROR: smcReadData8 failed for key $Num (kSMCKeyNotFound)
    2. SMC: :smcReadKeyAction ERROR: $Num kSMCKeyNotFound(0x84) fKeyHashTable=0x0
    3. SMC: :smcInitHelper ERROR: MMIO regMap ==NULL - fall back to old SMC mode
    4. WARNING - ACPI_SMCCtrlLoop: :initCPUCtrlLoop - no sub-config match for MacBookPro4,1 with 8 p-states, using default stepper instead
    5. SMC: :smcReadKeyAction ERROR: smcReadData8 failed for key MOTP (kSMCKeyNotFound)
    6. SMC: :smcReadKeyAction ERROR: smcReadData8 failed for key BEMB (kSMCKeyNotFound)
    I was hoping that someone could read my log to ascertain wether or not they see a problem that stands out.  I was also hoping that someone could tell me if verbose mode provides any information that may be wrong with my computer.  I just hope that someone can give me some insight as to what may be wrong with my computer.  If it is the hard drive I will easily replace it, but I want to make sure that is the problem first before I waste money on a hard drive or anything else.  Please let me know if anyone requires any other information from me.
    Thank you!

    I had already written a book and I did not want to bombard people with more information, but in my previous research I did come across the major issues with the NVIDIA card.  I also was well aware that Apple offered a replacement program that ended in December of 2012.  I was going to add that in my original post, but I discounted that theory because I put my faith in the so called "Apple Genius" when I made my second trip to the Apple Store.  I brought the NVIDIA card issue to his attention and asked him if he thought that may be the problem, but he said no.  He said if it was the NVIDIA card that the screen would be completely black and there would be no startup chime.  When I experienced the screen issues I thought it was a problem with the NVIDIA card or the logic board.  I asked myself, how can a flawed hard drive cause the screen to act funny.
    nbar and Rick Warren, I thank you both for your help and insight; people like you are the real "Apple Geniuses."  I was hoping there was a way I could wipe the hard drive before I dumped the computer or attempted to sell it.  I guess I will look into purchasing a new machine when I have the funds.  Again...thank you both!

  • 1st series iMac G5: Booting problems, kernel panics, waking from sleep...

    Specifications of the iMac described: 1.8 Ghz, 1GB, 80GB, 64 Mb Nvidia VRAM, Airport, 10.5.5
    Back in August 2004 my dad bought us kids an iMac G5 for ‘family use’. It had a fresh install of 10.3.5 on it and compared to the (1999) iMac G3 it replaced it was amazingly fast.
    The iMac never showed any signs of probable issues, until we decided to upgrade to Leopard in January 2008. Initially, this upgrade was only meant to be able to sync with the latest iPod nano (who demanded a newer version of iTunes).
    After the installation the first thing I noticed was a high CPU usage, the machine seemed slower than ever and that with 1 Gb of RAM (the minimum sys. req. for Leopard are 512 Mb of RAM). Anyway, then the real thing started, it wouldn’t turn on anymore. We brought it to an Authorized Apple Reseller, the Tech department said the Logic board had failed. The costs of the fix weren’t the worth the computer anymore, so...end of story. The iMac was indeed one of the bad series, although it hadn’t any swollen capacitors.
    My dad already made up his mind and bought himself a Macbook. He then told me that if I was able to get the broken iMac fixed, I could keep it. And so, I bought an ‘as-is’ logic board on Ebay. Last weekend I installed it, and it actually seemed to work! Yet, the problems are during the startup: the first thing I see is a screen full with horizontal lines flickering all the time, like an old TV with bad signal. Mostly it won’t boot and I get the message to restart the computer (kernel panic, I got dozens of logs already!). Sometimes it got stuck during booting (grey apple screen with gear in the middle) making the fans go crazy (after a while) and sounding what others describe as a ‘jetliner taking off’ sound. Sometimes the screen remains black. Generally it takes me 5 to 10 minutes to start up properly. Maybe it’s just me but it seems like when the computer has warmed up a little (by turning on and off on and on) starting up gets smoother. I mean the startup screen suffers from less horizontal flickering lines.
    During the use of Leopard, I again get high CPU usage, especially when I use multiple programs at the same time, or when starting multiple programs. My iStat Pro said once that the fans were running at 4700 rpm and the heat of the CPU was about 70 Celsius. If I really want to **** my iMac off I should play a racing game. That just totally freaks him out! These problems could probably be solved by adding more RAM. Right?
    The iMac also has a sleep problem. Sometimes after lets say an hour or so, you can’t get it out of sleep mode (by manipulating keyboard and/or mouse, the sleep light stops, but the screen stays off --> only solution is to restart). What happened to me once was that it slept so long that it just got into a deep sleep by turning itself off completely!
    Here’s a list of what I tried so far:
    - Disk Utility: Resetting the permissions, no problems were found.
    - Resetting the SMU, both on the logic board itself as by pressing the power button 5 - 8 seconds, no improvements.
    - Resetting the PRAM, no improvements.
    - Did the Hardware test of the original install CD, nothing was found, all good.
    - Did Archive and Instal, this actually messed my system entirely, cause it wouldn't boot at all and when starting up from the Leopard installation DVD it wouldn't recognize the Macintosh HD.
    - Did Archive and Instal with the original disks, this disk did recognize Macintosh HD and so I installed the original system, 10.3. Booting problems and those flickering lines are still there though.
    Next phase will be erase and install, but first I want to know what you guys think about all this.
    Oh eh, One more thing; The guys at Applecare (phone support) told me that the replaced logic board was also out of warranty and so they couldn’t help me. But as the man on the phone was kind, he told me to go look for a special ‘driver’ on the net. He said that the driver should be able to resolve some of the issues described. He said that I had to give in the name of the LB on google and look for results. Is this bogus? Because I haven’t found anything useful on google so far. What’s the name (rather than a number) of the LB in the first place?
    I hope you guys can give me some answers. I'm kinda desperate. But I still feel there's hope...

    The symptoms of a flakey power supply are sleep problems and you have done all the right things as far as resetting the SMU and PRAM. Your CPU usage can be tracked by going to Utilities>Activity Monitor - look and see what is hogging the memory. The flickering lines could also be an optical system going south.
    The other thing you can do is run DiskWarrior or TechToolPro to see if you have corrupted directories. Preferential Treatment will let you check for corrupted preferences.

  • Kernel Panic: "You need to restart your computer..."

    Here's some information from my panic.log. Anyone have any idea what might be causing these incessant kernel panics? My suspicion is the AirPort card since the notebook regularly has the problems when I am utilizing a wireless signal. It looks like some other people have been having this problem, especially once the computer is around 2 years old. I bought mine in December 2005.
    I've already read the many Apple-published resources and also Dr. Smoke's resource. I would run the disk utility, except I'm waiting for the CDs to arrive in the mail.

    Hi alexlhoekstra,
    The first item in the backtrace is AirPort. Start in Safe Mode by holding the shift key as you start. Release it when you see the logo. AirPort is disabled in Safe Mode. If runs OK restart normally and turn off AirPort. Use it for a while and then turn AirPort on again. If it crashes look at the log again. If AirPort is at the top of backtrace again it's most likely bad. Unfortunately, it's part of the logic board on your model so it (the logic board) would need to be replaced.

  • IMac G3 Kernel Panic - You need to restart your computer - HELP

    I have an iMac G3 400Mhz slot-loading with 256MB 13GB running Mac OS 10.3.3. It was all along running Ok until I tried to do an OS updating recently. After update done, re-boot and I got this cyclic message "You need to restart your computer". Tried all methods like pressing CtrlOption+PR or Option during power-up but still the same. Now at a loss as I also cannot find my OS media installation CD anymore. Can anyone suggest how to remedy this? Worse case scenario, I don't mind clean re-load OS but need help in getting a copy of the Mac OS installation media.

    Welcome To  Discussions KevK!
    How much space is available on the 13 GB Hard Drive?
    What peripherals do you have connected to the iBook?
    Are there any programs or applications, that are set to load at Startup?
    You may find use helpful tips in this document Resolving Kernel Panics, authored by Dr Smoke.
    As the iMac G3 400 MHZ's, original pre-installed OS was Mac OS 8.6, the original system discs, will not be much help.
    You will need to purchase a new set of Panther discs, or a newer version of OS X, if you wish to upgrade.
    With a larger Hard Drive, and additional RAM, that iMac, is capable of running Tiger 10.4.x.
    Tiger is available for purchase at The Apple Store (U.S.).
    Panther, is no longer available directly from the Apple Online Store, as Leopard 10.5.x, is the most up to date OS.
    But, if you know what to look for, a Full Retail Version, of the Panther Install CDs, or a Full Retail Version, of the Tiger Install DVD, can be purchased, sometimes less expensively, at some online Apple retailers, Amazon, eBay, FastMac, HardCore Mac, AllMac, etc.
    Be sure not to purchase grey, upgrade or machine specific CDs or DVDs.
    Panther is only on CDs, not DVDs.
    The discs should look exactly like the images in the above links, and not say Upgrade, CPU Drop-in DVD, or "This software is part of a hardware bundle purchase - not to be sold seperately." on them.
    Additional info in these links.

    Software Update, Upgrade: What's The Difference?
    Caveat Emptor!
    If any are presently available, examine these items very carefully, and if in doubt, ask questions of the seller before purchase!
    Panther On eBay
    Tiger On eBay
    Once Panther 10.3.x is re-installed, you can use the 10.3.9 Combo Update, to upgrade to the final version.
    If your Mac meets the Tiger System Requirements, you could also consider installing that, and then use the PPC 10.4.11 Combo Update, to upgrade to the current version.
    Additionally, Tiger 10.4.x ships on a DVD, so if your Mac doesn’t have a built-in DVD-ROM player, you will have to use an alternative method of installation.
    Info here Installing Tiger Using Firewire Target Disk Mode.
    And here Installing Tiger Without A DVD Drive.
    The Tiger Media Exchange Program, referred to, is no longer available.
    Shop Carefully, Examine All Documentation, And I Wish You Success!

  • Kernel Panic, Waking from sleep or transitioning to / from battery

    I have a MBP 5.1 (Late 2008 Model) that I've been having a lot of trouble with lately, mostly with resuming from sleep. Over 50% of the time, if the laptop is asleep, when I wake it it will crash. Sometimes it will crash as soon as it resumes (before I'm prompted for username/password) other times it might crash right after I enter my username/password.
    And, there are occasions that after I power down the laptop after a kernel panic, I get 3 more (or so) in a row when trying to reboot, then it usually boots.
    I've run the AHT and it's found no errors. I don't have a lot of "stuff" installed and I'm not normally using any USB peripherals (I occasionally plug in my iPhone or a Serial/USB converter.
    Otherwise, I've had no other problems, it all seems related to power in some way.
    What I've done so far:
    Reset the SMC
    Reinstalled the OS (on a different/new drive just to be sure)
    Other than that, I'm not sure what else to do with this guy. Any thoughts?
    Thanks in advance.

  • Kernel panics waking from deep sleep after SSD upgrade

    Hi
    Kernel panics every time a 15-inch mid 2012 MacBook Pro 9,1* wakes from deep sleep** following upgrade from original HDD to an SSD***. The first SSD was replaced under warranty and the issue is still occuring. The extended Apple Hardware Test reports no issues. Following physical installation of the SSD, it was formatted—one Mac OS Extended (journaled) partition—and Yosemite (10.10.1) installed from a USB using the only-slightly-less-easy-way instructions from arstechnica. The original RAM was upgraded about a year ago with Crucial 2x8GB DDR3 1600 MHz RAM.
    It is a very nice MBP if only these kernel panics could be resolved.
    Marilyn
    *MBP spec factory configured with 1680-by-1050 high-resolution antiglare display
    **It is not clear whether or not this deep sleep is standby mode or safe sleep. It is likely to be safe sleep because when waking from this deep sleep a progress indicator appears

    Hello Michele, your English is quite good actually!
    Usually this is caused by some 3rd party extension or some external USB device.
    I suspect one of these...
    com.logmein.driver.LogMeInSoundDriver          1.0.0
    com.iospirit.driver.rbiokithelper          1.21
    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 (Users & Groups in later OSX versions)>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...
