RMBP Late 2013 crash without log and have to restart by power button

I bought rMBP around November last year.
As I open Chrome, it crash without log.
The only solution is to restart it with power button.
I can't find the report by chrome://crashes and ~/Library/Logs/.
I think the kernel_task doesn't make it.
Are there anyone else got the same problem and solution?
Is there a proper noun for crash and have to restart it by power button?
Version:10.9.1(13B3116)

I would reformat the drive then reinstall Lion:
Install or Reinstall Lion from Scratch
If possible backup your files to an external drive or second internal drive.
Boot to the Recovery HD:
Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
Erase the hard drive:
Select Disk Utility from the main menu and click on the Continue button.
After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Note the SMART status of the drive in DU's status area.  If it does not say "Verified" then the drive is failing or has failed and will need replacing.  SMART info will not be reported  on external drives. Otherwise, click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Erase button and wait until the process has completed.
Quit DU and return to the main menu.
Reinstall Lion: Select Reinstall Lion and click on the Install button.
Note: You can also re-download the Lion installer by opening the App Store application. Hold down the OPTION key and click on the Purchases icon in the toolbar. You should now see an active Install button to the right of your Lion purchase entry. There are situations in which this will not work. For example, if you are already booted into the Lion you originally purchased with your Apple ID or if an instance of the Lion installer is located anywhere on your computer.

  • Apple logo keeps flashing and i cant restart because power button is broken

    My apple logo keeps flashing on my phone for about 10 seconds at a time. I know most of you will tell me to hold the power and home button but the problem is my power buttons broken. Also, plugging it into my wall and laptop won't do anything. I'm not sure what else to try, any advice is appreciated.

    There really isn't anything to do.  You'll need to bring your phone to Apple for replacement.

  • This is what worked for me to install 8.1 Pro on brand new rmbp late 2013 NO WORKAROUND

    15 in rmbp, late 2013. Extrernal apple USB drive. USB key for bootcamp drivers. Brand new windows 8.1 pro full version from store. No Upgrade.
    Used Bootcamp assistant to 1) save drivers to usb key 2) partition drive to two. Left usb key and drive connected.
    Bootcamp assistant reboots mac, windows splash screen. Follow instructions including having to reformat the newly created partition which is usual. No bootcamp parttionn name is present but it should be obvious which is the OSX and Windows partition. Windows begins installing then fails. rmbP is stuck.
    Restart nothing, just grey screen. Call apple care. Have to PRM, press on, hold command option P and R keys.Release when apple beep starts. Then it will boot back into OS-X
    Boots into osx. Go to bootcamp assistant. Follow instructions and windows partition is removed to give a single OSX parttion. Reopen bootcamp assistant. Repartition. leave USB key and external drive attached. Restart and follow instructions as before. NO issues.
    Note, the "almost ready" splash screen hangs for a long time.
    Then bootcamp installer comes up. Build 5411.NVIDA driver installed etc. Auto resart after drivers installed. USB drive and key attached. WIndows splash screen. SUCCESSFULLY installed.
    OI can also hold down option now on restart to sleect which OS to boot into . WORKS GREAT.
    I suspect you have to do a PRM reset after first failure using bootcamp assistant to get it to install properly thereafter.
    After I did this I was able to install fine using bootcamp installer in OS-X. No need for ANY work arounds.

    This process worked for me on a new Mac Pro (early 2014) to get Windows 8.1 (not 8.0) installed, although I did make one slight change to the process: instead of following your advice at the point: "Restart and follow instructions as before", I instead restarted and used the windows partitioner dialog to 1) delete the bootcamp partition, and 2) create a new partition that was slightly smaller than the remaining available space (by about 1GB). The installer said it might need to create an additional small partition (which it did). I continued with the rest of the install process as you describe above. (Yes, it did take a long time to get past the "almost ready" part.)
    Thank you very much for your post!

  • 13" rMBP Late 2013 Warm Palm Rest

    Hi,
    This is my second 13" rMBP Late 2013 (i5 2.4GHz, 8GB DDR3, 256GB SSD, Retina 13"). I exchanged the first one only to get a US keyboard instead of French Canadian. On the first one, I never noticed the warm palm rest... on my new one, it feels quite warm, especially on the left side. iStat says the palm rest is at 32C when idle, and during a stress test (100% CPU), it got to 35C. Reviews talk about 28C idle and 32C at full load.
    Is it often like this or I should exchange it? Am I the only one with this issue?

    that is normal when playing games or doing other intensive things on a mac.  It wont damage it, the mac would shut off before it started to get so hot it might cause damage.

  • RMBP: Sometimes, after having been shut down, i have to press the power button several times before the machine starts up. It's 3 weeks old, and this has happened 2 times now. Is there something wrong with my rMBP?

    Did you purchase the Mac new?
    You have 14 calendar days from the time your items are delivered to initiate a return as noted here.
    Even though you are past the 14 day limit, if it were me, I'd take the Mac back and explain what's going on. Your Mac should work out of the box.

    Reset the SMC and PRAM. If it doesn't work, boot in safe mode -Mayús button during boot- and do your normal activity

  • My Power Mac G5 is freezing up. A few days ago my G5 started freezing up, the cursor is unresponsive and none of the keys have any use. I have to press the power button to shut down and then restart. Sometimes on the restart, instead of the Apple logo I g

    A few days ago my G5 started to freeze up while in use. It doesn't matter if in Safari, iTunes, Pages, etc. The cursor will not respond nor does any keystroke, force quit, escape, etc. I have to hold the power button down to shut the computer down. Then, try to restart. Sometimes restart will work and the computer will work for a while and then freeze again. Other times on restart, instead of the Apple logo at start up, I get a Zero with a line thru it, have to power off and restart again. When it does restart, the "spinning gear" takes a lot longer than normal to spin up and take me to the login screen. Have been told it may be my hard drive getting ready to fail. Have looked at disk utilities, S.M.A.R.T looks fine, "verified" and have verified disk, and repaired permissions. In case it is the hard drive, I bought external hard drive and hooked it up to Time Machine. The backing up to a long time, overnight, about 10 hours because it kept freexing up and I would have to shut down and try restarting again. Finally got everything backed up.
    Any help or suggestions greatly appreciated!!!   Could it be my hard drive is dying? Is the the normal chain of events or is it something else???

    Ok, to copy the Drive from one to another, get carbon copy cloner to make an exact copy of your old HD to the New one...

    Or SuperDuper...

    Believe it or not, anything on the Desktop uses 3 times the Resources of the Mac than if stored elsewhere, I can note a slowdown from just 30 items on the Desktop on a really fast Mac, so the less the better on the Desktop.
    DW will not tell you about Bad Sectors, it's just the very best at Repair Directory damage & such.
    At this point I think you should get Applejack...
    http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/15667/applejack
    After installing, reboot holding down CMD+s, (+s), then when the DOS like prompt shows, type in...
    applejack AUTO
    Then let it do all 6 of it's things.
    At least it'll eliminate some questions if it doesn't fix it.
    The 6 things it does are...
    Correct any Disk problems.
    Repair Permissions.
    Clear out Cache Files.
    Repair/check several plist files.
    Dump the VM files for a fresh start.
    Trash old Log files.
    First reboot will be slower, sometimes 2 or 3 restarts will be required for full benefit... my guess is files relying upon other files relying upon other files! :-)
    Disconnect the USB cable from any Uninterruptible Power Supply so the system doesn't shut down in the middle of the process.

  • Purchased Lion, installed it - once I log in - i get the curtain and message to hold the power button till it shuts down.  Worked with the disk repair utility - fixed permissions - still can't get past the "black curtain of death"  any suggestions?

    My machine was patched to date 10.x.x.  I was lucky to get an internet connection and I selected the option to re-download Lion... its curruently being downloaded.  What if that doesn't work?
    Any thougths would be appreciated.

    And you have a workstation? not a notebook. 
    Usually a driver or hardware, nothing that Disk utility will fix.

  • My wifi network is 802.11n but there are times changing for 802.11g, and have to restart ... after the update for Mountain Lion

    My wifi network is 802.11n but there are times changing for 802.11g, and have to restart ... after the update for Mountain Lion...  Help!!!
    Several problems with Mountain Lion, APP STORE (login/logout error), WIFI(802.11n for 802.11g), MAIL (horrible)... Apple, what is happening?   

    Do a factory reset .. nothing will be deleted from your backups and you will be able to get access to them again.
    The Factory Reset Gen1-4.
    Unplug your TC. Hold in reset. and power the TC back on.. without releasing reset for about 10sec. When the status light flashes rapidly; release it.
    Be Gentle! Feel the switch click on. It has a positive feel..  add no more pressure after that.
    TC will reboot after a couple of minutes with default factory settings and will wipe out previous configurations.
    No files are deleted on the hard disk.. No reset of the TC deletes files.. to do that you use erase from the airport utility.

    Try:                           
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try another cable
    - Try on another computer                            
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • My Macbook Pro *****! I have had it for 2 weeks now, got it brand new at the apple store, it freezes all the time, and reboots itself, sometimes when i start it, purple dots cover the screen and i have to hold the power button.

    I have had it for 2 weeks now, got it brand new at the apple store, it freezes all the time, and reboots itself, sometimes when i start it, purple dots cover the screen and i have to hold the power button. a 2 week old computer is not supposed to do this! it wastes all its time being so flashy that it just craps out all the time. sometimes i feel like i should have stayed with my virus covered PC. at least when it shut down randomly you could turn it back on, but with the macbook pro, it just keeps restarting itself over and over. need help with this, any answers?

    Here's a novel thought. Take it back to the vendor. Should have done that one week ago.

  • I updated Adobe flash player and now i'm unable to open Opera and I have to use the power button to shut down the computer?

    I updated Adobe flash player and now i'm unable to open Opera and I have to use the power button to shut the computer down.
    How do you delete programs?
    thanks

    If Flash Player is indeed the problem I would suggest using the Adobe Uninstaller.
    Have you tried using a different browser such as Chrome, Firefox or Safari to see if they have a problem with Flash?

  • Airport times out and have to restart

    airport times out and have to restart constantly

    I have exactly the same problem.  It started a few weeks ago and the helpline could not work out the problem, so they sent me a new HUB 2.0.  Ever since, the broadband connection keeps stopping every day several times a day, which is a real pain as I work from home.
    I've just ran InSSider and there are two NETGEAR SSIDs on the same channel as mine (11). Would this affect / be part of problem? There are other SSIDs on channels 1,6,7 and 13.  Not very techie, so would appreciate very basic advice!
