Kernel Panics in World of Warcraft

I've lately been having kernel panics in WoW with increasing frequency, and have yet to discover the cause and/or solution. I tried repairing permissions, deleting the cache and preferences, re-installing the game, re-installing OS X, testing the memory, and thoroughly dusting the inside of my machine. The guys at Blizzard were unable to figure out my problem from my panic log, so I thought I'd try it here.
Here's what I'm running
Power Mac G4 Dual 1GHz
2 GB RAM
Nvidia GeForce 4Ti 4600
10.4.11
And here is the most recent panic log

  • Frequent kernel panics in World of Warcraft

    Lately I've been getting very frequent kernel panics in World of Warcraft. I've also experienced longer than usual startup times. I re-installed the game and made sure all the patches were up to date, then, when the problem persisted, I did an Archive and Install of Tiger and patched that. I also repaired my permissions, and deleted WoW cache files and prefs. I ran Memtest, which found no problems, however, even in single-user mode, it only tested 868 MB of RAM when I have 1 GB installed. The latest panic log in the list looks like this

    Yeah, forgot to include the link for the Hardware Test.

    Also, see if the kernel panics stop if you Safe Boot. Hold down Shift at the startup chime. It will take much longer than a regular boot, so give it time. You can let go of Shift when you see a progress bar loading. It will bring you to a login screen with Safe Boot in red letters.

  • MacBook Pro freeze/kernel panic while playing World of Warcraft

    Hello, Is anyone else having a similar issue I'm having? I have not had a single problem with my macbook pro until I reinstalled World of Warcraft. When I login to the game, the system will freeze, screen goes black, sound jitters, no keyboard or mouse response, and I have to hard reboot the system by holding down the power button. To make matters more difficult sometimes it happens, sometimes it doesn't. This only happens when I'm running WoW...I also have StarCraft 2 installed (another graphics/processor intensive game) and I never had this problem.
    I read in the forums already about freezing issues and ran the Apple Hardware Test just to check the basics. Report came back clean (granted, I didn't run the full scan, just the quick test).
    Below is my kernel panic report...any thoughts?

    Hi and Welcome!
    It may help if we know the variant of your MBP. Some have serious video chipset issues that can complicate troubleshooting. Do "About this Mac..." from the Apple menu, then click "More Info..." in the resulting window. This opens System Profiler and, on its opening pane, is a complete description of your variant as "Hardware Overview." Copy/paste that info here, BEING SURE to omit your serial number. I'm on one of our older Macs now but the info should roughly parallel this format:
    Hardware Overview:
    Machine Name: Power Mac G4
    Machine Model: PowerMac3,6
    CPU Type: PowerPC G4 (3.3)
    Number Of CPUs: 1
    CPU Speed: 1.25 GHz
    L2 Cache (per CPU): 256 KB
    L3 Cache (per CPU): 1 MB
    Memory: 1.75 GB
    Bus Speed: 167 MHz
    Boot ROM Version: 4.4.8f2
    Serial Number: /deleted/
    The second line, which under Snow Leopard reads "Model Identifier" will uniquely call out your variant for us.
    Those with the second line of Profiler stating "MacBookPro3,1" or "MacBookPro4,1" are subject to a Repair Extension Program for a defective video chipset.
    If the identifier is 5,1 or greater, your computer is covered in the forums for newer MBPS here:

  • Black Screen with Subsequents Kernel Panics at Gray Loading Screen

    I remember seeing a few threads about the Mac Pro and the legacy 8800gt. Most of the problems seemed to pop around 10.5.7. However, I just recently ran into a problem running 10.5.6. And I'm almost certain it's the graphics card, since it can't get out of the gray Apple OS loading screening before it panics.
    Once I dig out the stock graphics card from the closet. I can at least verify that system still works. Please feel free to comment if you have any insight.
    System: 2006 Mac Pro: 2.66ghz dual core, 4gb ram, Nvidia 8800gt 512mb
    Situation: This morning in Stormwind while at bank. I was running full screen mode at the time. Firefox was on in the background.
    Problem: Screen went black but monitor said signal was still being sent. I waited 30 seconds to see if it corrected it self and tried to window mode as well. Upon hard shut-down and restart, the kernel panic appears during the gray apple screen with the wheel loading. All subsequent kernel panics followed this behavior.
    What I tried:
    I first tried resetting the PRAM. Received kernel panic.
    Tried booting in safe mode. Received kernel panic.
    Tried loading from install disk. Kernel panic.
    After backing up in Target Disk Mode, I retrieved 1 log from Mac Pro. See below for contents.

    After reinserting the stock 7300 GT, everything appears normal. I definitely believe the graphics card is shot.
    It makes me wonder since World of Warcraft was the only graphic intensive program I ran why this would fail. I mainly focus on audio production and haven't had any problems in Digital Performer.

  • Late 2008 MBP problems with external display (kernel panic)

    I have an intermittently recurring kernel panic with a similar signature in the backtrace. In my case it only happens while playing World of Warcraft with an external monitor attached (and even then, only while doing particular things -- not necessarily high load activities, either). I ran a full set of diagnostics (Apple Hardware Test in full mode, and also Tech Tool Deluxe from the Applecare CD) and neither found any problems.
    Anyway, here's my panic log, hoping that somebody will be able to help out. I'll be taking this in for service when I have a couple of days I can spare without my laptop.
    (BTW, all of the "Panics Since Last Report" were of the same ilk).

  • Kernel Panic & Screen Failures

    I've just had two identical failures in one day on two separate Powerbook G4's running Tiger. There was a kernel panic while playing World of Warcraft, and now the computers' screens cannot be activated. I hear the hard drives spinning, but the screen never comes on. The Apple light on the back of the lid does not light up, the sleep light does not work - in fact, the sleep function does not seem to kick in when the lid is closed.
    My wife's G4 failed yesterday. She was playing WoW, and she reported several kernel panics. Finally her machine failed to boot correctly at all.
    Today, I tried to get it working, employing all the usual methods. I suspected some type of hardware failure. We gave up, she pulled out her old iBook and I played a little WoW on my G4. While simply checking my in-game mail, I got a freeze/kernel panic. I rebooted and the screen stayed blank - precisely the same symptoms as hers.
    These are identical 12" Powerbook G4 1.3 GHz models with 867 RAM (factory-installed) in each. We're on an Airport network and in separate rooms, and not plugged into the same power source.
    I reset PRAM, reset the Power Manager - no luck.
    I get startup chimes (even the second chime for the PRAM reset) and I can hear the drive working. The system is coming up, but the screens and lights are not working for some reason.
    I can boot the machines into Target Disk mode and access the hard drives via this iBook, so the system seems intact. On the affected machines, I can press the Volume up/down keys and hear the audio sound cues. Brightness keys have no effect.
    It would really seem to be a Power Manager issue, as if no power is reaching the screen or anything in the lid. I reset the Power manager to no avail....
    Two screen failures on identical machines under the same circumstances less than 12 hours apart? That's one heck of a coincidence... is anyone aware of a known issue similar to this?
    Powerbook G4 12"   Mac OS X (10.4.6)  

    No, this is not it.
    I too today expienced a Kernel Panic while playing WoW. This only happened before about 4 or 5 freezes within the game which ended up having to be reset with the powerbutton pressed for 10secs.
    This happened, as I said, about 4 or 5 times, while connected to external monitor and without. This has only ever happened to me today. I reinstalled WoW. Nothing. I thought it was a temperature overheat so monitored the temperature with iPulse, it heated to 55.3 degrees celcius, one fan kicked in and it crashed.
    I then used GioFX's HD 3d screensaver.
    The computer crashed within minutes. What causes these crashes?! It is something to do with the GPU's 3d rendering, but I can't see why it happened today... the only thing I can think of is heat damage, it has been hot the past few days (30 degrees and more ambient temperature) and the laptop's fans have been working full tilt for 2, 3 hours and more while I play.
    I am lucky, as my PB is able to be used (as long as no graphics are intense) but it is, in effect broken.
    I need a response quickly, my guarantee with the seller is running out soon, do I need a GPU replacement or don't I?
    This happened while playing World Of Warcraft 1.11.2(5464) and attached to an external monitor, keyboard and mouse.

  • Mac Pro Freeze constantly - no kernel panic, no crash reports. Any ideas?

    Dear all,
    My good ol' Mac Pro (4.1-2009) which has been utterly reliable for years is now driving me cazy.
    It freezes from time to time (let's say twice a day but sometimes not at all for 2 days in a row) - only possible option is hard reboot.
    The screen just freezes, no kernel panic, no crash reports.
    It has started after a ram replacement but then reverting to the original settings didn't change anything.
    Tried all what possible: reverting to original ram (the Apple one), clean install on a new hard drive (10.8.4), replacing graphic card (4870 to 5770), Zap PRAM, resetting SMC, safe mode, clean new account, booting only with keyboard and mouse, Techtool Pro hardware tests-all passed (but not AHT as I can't find the original DVDs anymore), smc fan control, voodoo.
    Some apps seem more enthusiastic at crashing than others especially Cinema 4D (when rendering), World of Warcraft (when playing), Photoshop CC (in OGL mode) but sometimes just dropping down a menu causes a freeze.
    My eyes are full of tears.
    Any idea? Someone had a similar experience?
    I might start drinking.
    Thanks.
    Mac pro 4.1 - 2009 - 2x2.26 quad xeon.
    OS X 10.8.4 on a brand new hard drive.
    Ram 24 Gb (4/4/4/- 4/4/4/-)
    ATI 5770

    Got a freeze but this time I also got a report! For some reason it makes me happy.
    as I said, starting with just the keyboard and the mouse is enough to make this ****' machine freeze.

  • Random kernel panics + occasional 3 beeps on boot

    Hello,
    Our late 2013 iMac 21.5" is experiencing some very random crashes at this moment.
    Right after upgrading to Yosemite the problems started, however they proceeded after multiple complete fresh installs and also after downgrade to 10.9.5.
    My feeling is that the timing was coincidental.
    The kernel panics mostly occur while the computer is just being on, not used, what software is running doesn't seem to matter. It also happens when there's nothing running at all. Strange thing is that it doesn't seem to happen when for example World of Warcraft is running.
    Most of the time the computer reboots fine, occasionally it gives 3 beeps on boot. After pulling the plug from wall socket and plugging back it it boots fine again.
    I've ran Rember and that doesn't find any memory problems.
    Since we are 2 weeks outside of our warranty it's really annoying and I'd like to solve it.
    Can these problems be cause by bad memory? As said, Rember say's the memory is fine...

    Well, left it idle this morning to see what would happen...
    A multitude of kernels and other crashes was the result.
    A few of the logs:

  • Kernel panic when using boot camp assistant

    OS X 10.5.2 all updates. 65GB of free space.
    Installed Boot Camp Assistant from the OSX DVD that came with my MacBook(10.5)
    After installation of Boot Camp Assistant ran software update (no updates needed)
    Launch Boot Camp and after sliding the amount to use for the Windows Partition (15GB,20GB,25GB equal, doesnt matter the size I've tried them all) it will prepare for partition.
    Then kernel panic (dimmed screen with text on grey stating must restart computer)
    Once restarted the HDD has loss the space from the Boot Camp partition. I have run the Disk Utilities from the DVD to repair the disc.
    This has happened each and every time (5x).
    What is needed to use boot camp without causing os x to crash?
    I've also.. at each kernel panic sent the report to apple.

    All,
    I believe I have discovered a solution for this problem. It at least helped me out. And no, it didn't involve buying iDefrag. This solution is totally free, but it involves a bit of work. It also involves iDefrag. Confused? Read on:
    The problem is that the partition literally involves chopping off a contiguous block of free space at the END of your existing partition. I was clued onto this by trying to resize the partition with Disk Utility (which also failed with a kernel panic). The problem I was having was simply that, since I had all but filled my hard drive before this, I had data for files spread all over my hard drive.
    So what was I to do? There's no way to view where a file is physically on the disk. The iDefrag utility would do what I need, but cost $34. Then it hit me: what if I could defragment my hard drive manually? All I would need is an interface that shows me the physical layout of the data on the hard disk so I'd know which files I would need to either delete (or duplicate and delete). I correctly hypothesized that the DEMO of iDefrag would do this for me.
    So I began, identifying the last file before contiguous white space began. The goal being to carve out a good chunk of "white" empty blocks on the right-hand side. For those wondering about the Header file at the very end of the disk, don't worry. It doesn't seem to matter. For example, I see a huge file. The blocks take up half the screen. I select it and open the Info window and see that it's a digital video file from iMovie. The info window has a selectable file path. I copy it, switch to the finder and hit "Apple-Shift-G", paste the file path and hit enter and I am taken there. I find the file and do one of three things:
    1. If it's a file I want or need to keep, but it's a file I created, then I just duplicate it with Ctrl-D. Delete the original, rename the copy to the original name and empty the trash.
    2. If it's a file I want or need to keep, but the SYSTEM generated it, I'll need to enter my password as I duplicate it. Enter the password again as you delete the original. You will need to use terminal and the "sudo mv" command to rename the file to the original name (Sorry). Empty the trash.
    3. If it's a file I don't need, either created by me or the system, delete it and empty the trash.
    "But wait", you might ask. "Steps 1 and 2 appear to do nothing! If you copy the file and rename it to be the same name as the original, nothing is being accomplished!" It might seem like nothing at first, but the FILE SYSTEM created the new file at the EARLIEST possible contiguous free disk space. If you're like me, you freed up a bunch of disk space to make this Boot Camp thing possible. This is evidenced by the white "holes" earlier in the disk (earlier as in "more to the left"). The copy of your file used the earlier white space. Deleting the original turns the blocks white!
    Often your processes will create a lot of little files around the same place. For example, a World of Warcraft update might create a lot of little files at the same time. If you get to a point on the disk where it seems like a lot of files in the /Library/Application Support/ folder were created, just copy and paste the least common denominator. If you buy music once in a while, it might be your entire Music Folder that could be worth duplicating! No need to do it file-by-file. The important thing is that files to the right of the bar get moved more to the left of the bar, leaving with you CONTIGUOUS FREE SPACE at the END of your disk.
    Finally, after doing this for about an hour, I wanted to see how big a partition I could create. Originally I'd been trying to create a 20 GB partition. From my estimates, if I had tried to create a 9 GB partition, I'd have been just fine the whole time. But that's not enough to play Bioshock! When I finished I took out the ruler and measured the bar on my screen.
    The whole bar was 289 milimeters. The contiguous white space ended at 239 milimeters. That's 50 milimeters of continuous space. That's 20.9% of my disk capacity of 93.4 gigs. That, my friends, is 19.54 gigs. I created an 18 GB parition and voila, it worked fine!
    I hope this helps some people. It's definitely a wallet-saving venture at the expense of sanity, but there is a way to do this without spending money. Also, while I call this a sort of "manual defragmentation process", it's a bit of a misnomer. While it is freeing up the blocks at the end of the drive, it is possible (or likely) that this process will seriously fragment your drive. After doing this, it may be worth the investment to buy iDefrag so they can really get your file system in order. But at least this'll get Boot Camp running.
    Regards,

  • Need help with kernel panic

    Hi, I have had several kernel panics recently. It seems to only happen when I'm playing World of Warcraft during a very graphic intensive situation. I ran Hardware Test and it said everything was fine. My computer also occasionally just freezes without a kernel panic. I can move the cursor around, but I can't switch between applications nor can I use the current application.
    Here is the kernel panic error:
    Sun Jul 17 08:24:10 2011

  • Kernel Panics 10.8.4

    I have just started having kernel panics whenever I am running anything on my Mac Pro that requires 3D acceleration (i.e. World of Warcraft, Heroes of Newerth, Guild Wars 2). I can run for hours without any problem with just Firefox, iTunes, etc... but 5-10 minutes after launching a 3D game the computer locks up for a moment and shuts off. I have already run a RAM check in Single User mode and everything checked out with "ok"s across the board. I did crack open my case and found it was rather dusty. I cleaned that out but even after attempting to let the system cool down after that, it had two kernel panics while trying to boot up before finally coming online. I'm currently looking at a temperature monitor and everything seems to be running at below 40C except for the RAM which is running at 64C for the first two modules, and 55-57 for the other four. The Northbridge Chip is at 63C.
    I'm guessing the problem is probably with the graphics card or the RAM somehow... or I read overheating can cause these panics to protect the system. I'm too scared to try anything else to see if my cleaning has fixed it because of the additional panics since restarting after that. Please, any advice would be appreciated!
    Panic report is as below:

    That's a GPU problem. As you have a Mac Pro, get a GPU compatible with the Mac Pro and install it.
    As you can see in the log, the first lines refers to NVRM and a Read Error, and below "Kernel Extensions in Backtrace" you can see all GPU extensions. This refers to the GPU and it's a sign that it has to be replaced

  • Kernel Panic Reporting A Kernel Panic!

    With Tiger, I experienced not one kernel panic. About a month after using Leopard, I experienced my first kernel panic. I was playing World of Warcraft at the time (which is known to have some installation issues with case-senstive file systems) so I blew it off as an extraordinary case. And indeed I haven't seen a kernel panic since.
    Until just now. I was doing nothing other than listening to music on iTunes when the POW! the little multi-lingual window pops up with the power button symbol background. So I reboot and login as admin. Leopard immediately says that the computer quit unexpectedly and asks to report an issue to Apple.
    WHILE I'M FILLING OUT THE REPORT mind you, another kernel panic before I could even submit the report. I had to fish out my cell phone and take a screen shot. http://www.lemings.com/mac/01-14-08_1314.jpg
    Boy, Apple really took a step back with the kernel from Tiger to Leopard. JMHO.

    please launch the console, hopefully you paid attention to the date and the time and copy that console message , look at crash reports, panic reports, etc and the next time you get the "report to Apple dialogue" include the console message.
    I got exactly that one you described just before Xmas and the console mesaage seems to relate to the video card and or Quicktime. I sent in the report and hopefully if a new update comes, it will be fixed.

  • Kernel Panic Nvidia Quadro Pro 4000 CC14 MAC PRO 10.9.4 mavericks

    I get kernels panics constantly when using CC14 lightroom and photoshop.. And this is causing  me to loose thousands of dollars. I have searched for months have lost thousands of dollars in work, have trued to contact support only to be sent to community forums which i get no response...o
    THEREFORE.....
    Allow me to waste more time by contacting this unresponsive company.
    i  constantly get Kernel Panics when using CC14 associated with my NVIDIA Quadro 4000 2048  while using cc14 photoshop and lightroom since I updated to Maverick 10.9.4.
    I have been searching for fixes for months, i have updated everything, every driver,  and this has costed me THOUSANDS of dollars in pay i am unable to receive because my %^&* computer keeps crashing.
    Now i am pissed! I have consulted APPLE and  even after pushing me up to the top level.  they still read off a piece of paper. ! i just wanted to go back to osx before mavericks which i was having NO ISSUES but no one seem to have a clue at apple how to even turn one on.
    1. i am NOT doing a master restore and I NEVER had a problem before Mavericks and CC14!!!
    2. Every driver is updated every firmware is updated
    3. there is NOTHING RUNNING IN HTE BACKGROUND
    4. i did an smc and reset pram
    5. ran disk utility -- no problems
    6. searched for answers for months.
    7. and by the way..... photoshop cc14 does not save your work on a crash. it saves what you already saved
    I AM TIRED OF WASTING MY TIME TRYING TO GET ANSWERS WHEN I ONLY GET IGNORED.
    this is an issue with my nvidia quadro pro 4000 video card and -- adobe and - mavericks.
    MY system is high end, mac pro 5,1 Processor  2 x 2.93 GHz 6-Core Intel Xeon Late 2010 20 gig ram, quadro pro 4000 and an APPLE SSD TS512B
    solid state
    and i spent 10 gran on this system. I am a professional and this is my BUSINESS... my only income.  not a kid playing games.
    The video card was over a 1000.00!  Nvidia? ADOBE?
    This needs to be fixed. this is my livelihood

    Thanks for responding....of course I mean adobe. A community forum is NOT a company.
    I read the link to the thread and this person says an application CANNOT cause kernel panics -- well Apple begs to differ. http://support.apple.com/kb/PH14063
    I have my own photography studio, ive spent over a half million dollars on my education (2 masters degrees) my equipment, and traveling the world to various workshops. I spend some evening researching new technology to stay on top of my craft but what I dont do and dont have time to do is follow forums regularly.
      Therefore i dont know that this person has repeatedly said the same thing over and over in different threads about applications causing KP.
    You suggested that I take my trouble shooting somewhere else...trust me this is not the first place ive tried to get answer.s I have been trying to resolve this issue since i updated to 10.9.4 and CC 14 and Nvidia Quadro pro 4000. It  has been months of phone calls research, forums, talking to anyone i know that knows anything and  I have lost thousands of dollars.  My digital lab ran perfect before the updates.
    so...... 
    First...I DISAGREE with the guy in the thread because what he wrote is just his opinion. It doesnt matter wjho he works for, it a person converses a fact with NO REFERENCES then it looses credibility.  I always include a reference when I make a statement to anyone
    second: as i said in my discussion -- i have done everything and the only time i get kernel panics is when using photoshop - nothing else running in the background, and the issue is with the video card drivers , 10.9.4 and photoshop and lightroom CC14.
    lastly; I know my video card is fine because Ive had photoshoots where i tethered (as I alwasy do) to Phocus software for my Hasselblad H4d and there is never a crash or kernel panic issue. ever.
    I ONLY GET KERNEL PANICS WHEN I USE ADOBE PHOTOSHOP OR LIGHTROOM  CC14 AND IT HAS ONLY HAPPENED SINCE I UPDATED TO 10.9.4 AND CC14
    apple told me to do a restore --  they were just reading  me what they were supposed to say.

  • 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.

  • 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!
