Kernel Panic - what to do next?

It happend to me before.
While watchnig video, my computer crashed.
After few more crashes I lost my startup disc.
Now, 3 months later it happend again.
Any ideas what's going on?

First of all - Thank You all very much.
My problems started 3 months ago.
First, my Mac crashed while watching, video.
It happened several times during 2-3 hours.
After that, I lost my startup disk.
No problem, I thought - I have my Time Machne backups.
I used extarnal disk to startup, and manually backup all my work from my MacBook disk which at that time, was read only. I also made a dmg image from that disk - just to make sure all my data is safe.
I reformated and tested the oryginal MacBook disk with DiskUtlity. There were no errors.
After that I tried to mount the dmg image - with no succes. Now 3 months have past, and I still have no acces to any of my files - photos, music, mail, work. File seems to be OK, but there is now way I, and 3 guys who seem to know somethig about data recovery are able to mount that image. I did try Data Rescue 3 and Salvage Data Recovery for Mac Demos - with no results. I'm not sure what my 3 friends were using, but the seem to have same results.
What about Time Machine Backup?
When I plug the TM disk, it asks me for the password. But the password does not work.
For some reason the is no option for password recovery after 3 attempts.
I did contact Apple support. After 2 weeks of mails and calls they suggested disk reformat.
I did try - but I need the password to do that - password is not working....
I upgraded Sunflower, I will replace the memory for the right type.
Hope this will solve my problems - at least with the Mac
Once again - Thank You Very Much!
- Michał

    For some reason, after running hardware test (Apple), disk utility to check out disk etc., then used Onyx and ran full maintenance. Also did a thorough test of the memory using "Rember". I have not had another Kernel Panic. My next step if needed will be a RAM re-seat and a fresh OS install.

  • Kernel panics: what does "Core FIR register check failed" mean?

    I have an XServe dual G5 2.0 running Server 10.3.9 unlimited client version that began experiencing frequent kernel panics when I let it install the two most recent security updates. Before I installed those updates, the machine had been up without problems for 220 days.
    It is not heavily loaded; it runs a Bugzilla via Apache2, shares some files out via SMB and AFS, and runs a jabber server with less than 20 users.
    It generates entries in /Library/Logs/panic.log, but I can't make any sense out of them because they only have numeric entries in the stack traces and a bunch of register values.
    I've tried a whole bunch of smallish suggestions on fixing problems with this, including repairing permissions on the disks, repairing the boot volume with Disk Utility, resetting all the NVRAM values, and resetting the PMU. Today I installed Xserve Remote Diagnostics and ran the normal, extended, and memory tests.
    The memory test completes without errors. The normal and extended both get errors on the FIR. I've attached the log text from XServe Remote Diagnostics.
    Is or could this FIR problem be what's causing my xserve to kernel panic? Anyone have an idea what I can do about this?
    Thanks,
    Frank

    I see that "Panic(CPU 1): Unresponsive processor" and that makes me "feel" like it may be a hardware error.  It could be ram related.  Maybe not.
    Can you run the Apple Hardware Test from your installer dvds?

  • RAM kernel panics -- what's your story?

    Been reading about quite a few instances of kernel panics caused by bad RAM modules. I suddenly had two kps this week out of the blue ("Uncorrectable Fbd memory error detected"), no luck diagnosing the problem yet but I need downtime from all my projects to give it some attention. I have 3rd-party modules from OWC, but I've also heard that Apple modules can be bad as well.
    I'd like to hear from any of you who have had kernel panics related to bad RAM and if you've had any luck in figuring them out -- if so, what finally worked for you?
    My specs:
    Mac Pro 2.66
    Apple stock RAM 512mb modules in slots 1 and 2 of Riser A, OWC 512mb modules in slots 1 and 2 of Riser B.
    Apps running during kernel panic: Final Cut Pro, Safari, TimeOut!, Console.
    Misc: G-Raid 1TB plugged into front FW800 port. 2nd internal drive is 500gb Seagate.
    Tests run: Rember and Applejack, no probs found.

    Thank you all for responding, I really appreciate the advice. It's so frustrating that bad RAM can't be isolated any easier than going through all these steps.
    I ran Memtest last night in single-user mode so it could check the max amount of RAM at once (1.9 out of 2gb). I let it cycle 3 times: nothing.
    I'll try re-running the AHT with looping but from what I've seen the Hardware Test rates far below any of these other tools for finding RAM problems.
    I'm going to re-seat all my modules and riser cards tonight, see if that helps; the service guys would do this anyway so I might as well do it first to see what happens.
    Clearly replacing the RAM is in my future, but what if I can't identify which ones? I have to call both Apple and OWC and I'm worried they'll both blame each other's product.

  • Kernel Panic-what else can I try?

    Hello.
    I've been trying as many suggestions and tips as I can find out about but cannot get my MacBook Pro (2011-snow leopard) to come back.
    It fell 2 or 3 feet to a hardwood floor after my leg caught the power cord (and it did not release). It landed still open in a tent position. I had an external HD connected at the time. When I tried to use it, clearly something was wrong. Main menu titles were missing letters and curser movements were erratic. I could not access the shut down option and had to hit the power button to turn it off. When I powered it back up I got the dreaded Kernel Panic. I did as it said and tried to shut it off and turn it on but kept getting the same thing.
    I began searching online using another machine, searched here and elsewhere. I tried many things, including trying to start up in Safe mode (resulting in a totally grey screen and eventually a damage icon-circle with line thru it. I tried resetting the Ram. No difference. I also booted from original install DVD. It did boot and I was able to access Disk Utility, but it pretty quickly reported that it  "stopped repairing the HD; can't repair this disk; back up files and reformat the disk, and restore the files." Of course I can't do that. Lots of red text which read "invalid B-tree node size."
    After a few more tries using different tips and suggestions, I decided maybe I could access it via Firewire Target Disk Mode." I connected it to my Mac Pro via Firewire 800 cable and tried it. The MBP did come on and it shows the firewire symbol drifting slowly back and forth, light gray background. But it does not show up on the Mac Pro desktop. I tried Disk Utility but it does not show it anywhere.
    In a last ditch effort, I started up a Data Recovery App. It did show the MBP in the list of connected volumes. I selected it and clicked the start button. It's been running for a little over 24 hours and shows 18%. However, I really can't tell if in fact it is searching the MBP. Once started it only reports the percentage.
    I don't want to quit it since I've gone this far but don't have high hopes. Besides, I would much rather "fix" the MBP rather than recover files, reformat it, etc.
    It seemed like a relatively minor hit and I'm surprised at the problem. But don't know what else to try. Just a note, I live in a remote, rural area and there are no Apple stores, no less geniuses, anywhere nearby.
    Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks

    Allan
    Thanks. I know I wrote a lot and who wants to read through all that?
    Anyway, I did already exhaust what the Apple Knowledge Base had to offer but now will try the X Lab suggested steps. I followed you link but am commited to this data recovery process since I've running it so long - day and a half - might as well let it finish. I'll post anything noteworthy. Thanks again.
    Anyone else have a suggested solution I am still very much open and hoping.

    You have the MacBookPro6,2, the Edsel of Macs. It may have a logic-board defect covered by this recall.
    Make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store, or go to another authorized service provider, to have the machine tested. The routine hardware diagnostics used by service providers do not detect the fault. There is a specific test for this issue that Apple calls "VST" (for "Video Switching Test.") Ask for it. A "Failed" result means that the fault is present. However, according to reports, some units may pass the test, and yet still be deemed eligible for repair under the program. Your experience may vary.
    Print the first page of the panic report, if any, and the support page linked above, and bring them with you.
    Note that the recall only applies within three years of purchase. After that, Apple may refuse the service. In that case, you may be quoted a price of about $300 (in the U.S.) for a "depot repair," which involves shipping the unit to a central repair facility and takes about two weeks. For that flat fee, anything found wrong with it should be fixed, not just the logic board.
    The model was discontinued on February 24, 2011, so the recall has nominally ended. Some units may have been sold after that date by Apple as refurbished, or by resellers as new, and they should still be covered.
    Some owners report that their unit was repaired under the program after the deadline had passed. Others report that the repair was covered by the extended warranty from a credit-card issuer. Again, your experience may vary.
    Sometimes the replacement part is also defective, so be prepared for that possibility.
    If it's too late for your unit to be repaired under the program, and you don't want to pay for a new logic board, you may be able to stop the panics by disabling automatic graphics switching.
    If you're dissatisfied with Apple's response, please keep in mind that no one here represents the company or can help with customer-service issues.
    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.

  • Kernel Panic - what procedure should I follow?

    Hi,
    I was working on an e-mac and I was wanting to get iTunes 6. I am running Panther 10.3 and when i tried to download the new ITunes. I was told I didn't have the right software. I therefore went to the Software Update in the Apple icon at the top left and performed the software update. I selected the Apple downloads I thought I needed. After downloading them the Kernel Panic happened. The screen is black with the Apple symbol but when trying to restart nothing happens.
    Perhaps I didn't download all the right software. Also, perhaps ITunes 6
    needs Tiger - is that right? I got the Tiger update disk and have overinstalled that but nothing has helped.
    I think the computer is a 768Mhz Emac with 384 RAM but I can't get to look at it as it won't start. As it is an Emac I don't think there are no PCI cards or any extra hardware installed.
    Is there a standard procedure I should follow when I get a Kernel Panic? I'd really like to sort the problem without losing everything installed on the computer if possible.
    Here's hoping you can help,
    Thanks,
    Hoodledoodle

    Heather,
    If the tips in AxL's helpful post don't work for you and you need to follow up on iFelix's mention of reinstalling via an Archive and Install Feature, a few points to emphaize:
    -- when updating the OS (in your case, to get to 10.3.9 to use iTunes 6), it's a good idea to download and use the stand-alone Combo Updater.
    -- after the 10.3.9 Combo updater is is place, use Software Update to ID applicable security updates and install those only. ITunes 6 I believe requires you also update to QuickTime 7.0.3; do the QuickTime update as a separate step.
    -- applying one major update at a time takes longer than applying a bunch at once, but it makes your life easier in terms of troubleshooting, and it avoids the possibility of some combination of simultaneous updates doing something the programmers never foresaw.
    -- after each major software update (OS, security, QuickTime, etc), after the computer restarts, open Disk Utility and run Repair Permissions on your hard drive.
    -- Remember that the progress therometer bar on 10.2/10.3 will typically go to 100% and stay there for an extended time while the Installer reports 'optimizing system'; it's not really stalled, and force-cycling the power switch at that step will likely hose the System and require one to start over. This bites people occasionally (espcially if you're on the fourth upgrade step in a row at 3 AM local time).

  • Kernel Panic - iMac 2008 (Intel) - Next Step?

    Hello,
    My mother's iMac has gone south with a Kernel Panic. I have tried:
    PRAM reset
    PMU reset
    Booting from external drive with clean OS
    Hardware test (extended) found no errors
    Still Kernel Panic.
    Is there anything else that can be tried except bringing it to a service center?
    It is out of warranty and the closest Apple store is a bit of a drive.
    Thanks

    Kernel panics can be cause by either faulty hardware +(generally RAM)+ or by incompatible software.

  • Kernel Panic: What does this mean please?

    Several days ago I downloaded 10.4.11 update and got an icon placed on my desktop. I double-clicked it and it said it didn't recognize it, so I put the icon in the trash.
    That night when I tried to shut down it progressed normally until I got a dark screen. Then, just when I thought it was closed down, up pops a rectangle that says "You need to restart the computer. Hold down the power key for several seconds."
    I held down the power key, and instead of the computer starting back up, it turned off. I didn't think much about it. But then the next night it did the same thing again, and again last night.
    It has only done it on that one user account where I downloaded the update to my desktop. And one night I verified permissions, verified the disk, shut everything down one=by-one, and disconnected before shutting down, and it did not do it that night. But did do it again the next night. Here is the report that it gave me:

    Cyan

    Cyan,
    I'm not an expert in this field, but I can suggest the catchall "Archive and Install" option on your Mac OS X Install DVD. "Archive and Install" backs up your current system folder (and also your documents, music, and pictures), and installs a fresh system on your hard disk. You can then drag the "Previous System" folder to the Trash after the installer is finished. I am going to assume that the Mac OS X 10.4.11 update caused this, as your computer seemed to be working properly before the update.
    To "Archive and Install", start your computer from your Mac OS X Install DVD (by holding down the "C" key with the Install DVD in the drive as your Mac boots). Next, after you see the Mac OS X Installer, follow the prompts until you reach the "Destination" screen. Once you select your current hard disk, click the "Options" button in the lower left-hand corner of your screen. In the window that appears, choose the "Archive and Install" button, and *make sure* that the "Preserve Users and Network Settings" is selected. Then, proceed with the install. Once the installer completes and you have a working system, open your Macintosh HD. There, you should see a folder called "Previous System". Once you are sure that your current system is working, you may drag this folder to the Trash, and then empty the Trash. If you need more help with "Archive and Install", please look at http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=107120.
    Also, once the install completes and you have a functioning system, *do not* download the Mac OS X 10.4.11 update. 10.4.11 has been known to cause problems for many Mac users. You can download the Mac OS X 10.4.10 Update from http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/macosx10410comboupdateppc.html for PowerPC processors, and http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/macosx10410comboupdatev11intel.html for Intel processors. These are "combo" updaters-they will update any Mac OS X 10.4 version (from 10.4.0 to 10.4.9) to version 10.4.10.
    Good luck!

  • My first Kernel Panic, what should I do?

    I've had my new MacBook Pro (17" 2.33 GHz, 2GB ram) since April 14, 2007 and I had my first Kernal Panic today. Since Apple Care is now closed for the day, I was wondering if anyone knows what I should do--if I should talk to Apple Care about this yet, or wait until it happens again. I was in Safari, when it stalled and I got the message that I wasn't connected to my wireless, so I clicked on to the Airport to see if I had lost my wireless connection, and then I got the screen that says to hold down the power button in multiple languages. When I rebooted, it asked me to tell Apple what I was using when the KP happened.
    I have bootcamp and Xp Pro loaded but not much more since this is all relatively new to me. I do have the Apple bluetooth keyboard and wireless Mighty Mouse installed and working.
    I would greatly appreciate any help or comments!
    I've copied the panic log below:

    If it persists, then contact Apple. Otherwise it was probably a fluke and you don't need to worry about it.

  • Kernel panic: what is ffa3e680

    I think I need to remove a bad RAM pair, not sure which pair…

    Hi Terry, try one pair at a time, most likely it's the inner ones, or even more likely the inner slots themselves.
    If you're sure the RAM is good, try the Hair Dryer trick...

  • Counter Strike 1.6 - kernel panic

    I'm running CS 1.6 with Wine 1.1.30 (and OpenGL) and am frequently experiencing (what I believe to be) kernel panics.
    Linux freezes up (the screen goes black and becomes unresponsive) and the Caps-Lock light repeatedly blinks. On next reboot, I have to do a fsck (root partition reports errors) and journal recover.
    This is a fresh install of CS and I haven't done any special tweaking. Video card is Intel i915 and can't find anything in the logs (perhaps I'm not looking in the right place?) Any ideas?

    Yeah, I suspected it was less concerned with Wine. Intel driver xf86-video-intel version 2.8.1-1

    Stock kernel version 2.6.30-Arch (basically always in sync with Arch's rolling release).

  • End All Kernel Panic Troubleshooting List

    I have been tasked to put together an end all list to troubleshooting Kernel Panics. Please take a look at this list to verify if I missed any steps you would try.
    I understand that there will be specific fixes to specific causes, and not all of these would be used in any one situation. Also not yet listed in specific or correct order that troubleshooting should be done.
    Some list instructions on how to do the needed troubleshooting, some do not. This would be user specific, dependent on computer knowledge so I did not get into that yet.
    - Was a change just made, added ram, HD, card of any kind, software installed? Remove/uninstall and reboot.
    - Verify cables, connections and their proper installation and ensure that they are working properly.

    Why not instead visit The XLab FAQs and read the FAQ on diagnosing kernel panics. Additionally Apple provides a number of articles about kernel panics:
    About "You need to restart your computer" (kernel panic) messages
    Kernel Panics on Startup
    Mac OS X- "Broken folder" icon, prohibitory sign, or kernel panic when computer starts
    Mac OS X- How to log a kernel panic
    Technical Note TN2063- Understanding and Debugging Kernel Panics
    Tutorial - Avoiding and eliminating Kernel panic
    What's a "kernel panic"? (Mac OS X)
    You are just reinventing the wheel which is not really a good use of the forum.

  • Kernel Panic booting mac os

    Hi all.
    First of all, sorry for my English
    I'm new here but I'm Apple user since 2007.
    After a stupid update (Safari + Java), my macbook rebooted then I get the classic kernel panic screen during booting. I tried to reboot 4/5 times, I tried to use some classic methods (reset PRAM, reset PMU, eject RAM), but the result is the same.
    I also tried to boot my linux partition: all OK, ram works well. _Hardware in general works perfectly_.
    Then I tried to boot from leopard dvd to reinstall OS and..._Kernel Panic during booting from DVD too_!!
    I'm desperate...
    what can I do if i can't reinstall OS? This is absurd!
    Thanks in advance!

    If you're not able to boot the machine with the install disk, then remove the RAM modules, put one in, and try again. If moving RAM modules doesn't allow booting, then a trip to your nearest Apple repair station is in order.
