Stop Kernal Panic

Hello:
I was wondering what can be done to stop an intermittent kernel panic. Seems to come out of nowhere, in particular lately when I am loading an application for use (clicking on icon w/mouse)... is there a way to stop them?
Thanks!

Take a look at Dr. Smoke's Resolving kernel panics FAQ.

    You have the MacBookPro6,2—the Edsel of Macs. It may have the logic-board defect that was covered by a recall program that has now ended.
    Residents of the EU may be entitled to warranty service for up to six years after purchase.
    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.
    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.
    Sometimes the replacement part is also defective, so be prepared for that possibility. If you decide to pay for a new logic board, test thoroughly during the 90-day warranty period on the repair. Some owners have reported that they went through as many as three replacement boards before getting one that worked.
    If you don't want to pay for the repair, you may (or may not) be able to work around the problem by disabling automatic graphics switching. To use the discrete graphics processor, you'll need a third-party utility to switch to it manually.
    Often the problems start after an OS upgrade. If the upgrade was recent, and you have backups, then you can revert to a previous OS X version.

  • Does Installing Windows XP stop Kernal Panics?

    i just baught a MBP 2.0 15 inch last week and had to send it in for repairs because of constant Kernal panics about ever 5-10 minutes after browsing the web using safari. The panics only occured after i started using wireless. I used the computer for about 20 hours, doing everything with it, before even connecting and it worked fine. I called apple and he told me to reinstall OSX, so i did, first an archive and install, next a complete erase and install. this did not work, as the problem persisted. Keep in mind that unlike many uses who have gotten kernal panics in login and startup screen, i have only gotten them when browsing on safari, and connecting through ituness, all wireless. Apple finally told me to send it in for repair. After reading extensivly on here, ive heard so many horror stories of people getting new mbp's and still having problems. I was just wondering it getting it repaired was a better choice, and if anyone will think they can acctually fix this problem. Let me know what u think about my issues. thanks
    -Ben

    Yes!! They are amazing. I had the same problem and they replaced my entire logic board so fast it made my head spin. The problem is now history and I'm a happy man. Nobody likes the hassle sending back a computer, but it is sometimes the only fix. A new logic board solved by problems. Let me say that a week later my battery died. They replaced that pronto, as well. I'm a bit of a sucker for trying the the "first" of any new product line, but I will admit that Apple has gone beyond the normal standard of customer support in fixing it. Give them a call and chill.

  • First back up with TM....kernal panic

    last night, i installed a laCie 500GB USB2 Ext. HD to use with time machine. i reformated the drive and went to bed. this morning i woke to my fans running to beat the band and the command lines of a kernal panic.
    i restarted and then restarted time machine. it had to bake a 214gb back up and had about 30gb left.....don't know why so big, the files it was copying is only 140gb.....at any rate...when i tried to get it to finish the back up, it only moved an additional 30mb of data then seemed to stop.
    I trashed the entire back up and started over. it has been running all day. When i stopped for dinner, it had 181gb done of the 215....then had another kernal panic. i restarted again and am back at it only backed up an additional 30mb of data...still has about 34gigs to go.
    what am i doing wrong?

    I think this is it:

  • 13 inch mid 09 MBP will not boot in safe mode or os disc. originally kernal panic but now blank screen. is this logic board? no liquid damage.

    I upgraded the ram and hdd a while back(RAM first with no issues, then hdd around 2 months later). The computer started freezing a few days after the hdd upgrade.
    I reformatted the hdd and it worked fine for a few weeks then same freezing issue. Instead of wiping the drive again I repaired the disc and this had it fixed for about a month. I was booting in safe mode for a few days with no issue and went about uninstalling 3rd party apps. Then the Kernal panic issue started, When I inserted the OS cd the screen went blank and has not come back on after repeated boots.
    Can we put this down to logic board and if so can it be repaired rather than replaced?
    Thanks

    thanks for the reply,
    just reinstalled the factory RAM and HDD. Same issue of blank screen. At the moment i have no way of connecting to external monitor.
    The OS cd is still in drive and i can hear the drive spinning for a few seconds at the start but it stops after about 20 seconds.

  • Kernal Panic on hard drive sleep after upgrade to OS X 10.7.5 Macbook Pro 2012

    After I installed the update to OS X 10.7.5, there is a kernal panic whenever my hard drive goes to sleep. I have reinstalled the OS, reset the NVRAM, run permissions and disk repair from internet recovery mode and am still having the problem. Any suggestions?

    Thanks for the reply and the advice.
    I was not able to get the machince to boot into Safe Mode. The progress bar stopped at arounf 25% and would not move.
    I did go ahead and delete the software you mentioned as a way of troubleshoting the initial problem, with no sucess.
    Any thoughts would be appreciated.

    I have got 8gb RAM, 4gb stock and 4gb i bought second-hand. If it is this RAM that is causing the trouble i will replace it asap.
    Anyone any idea what the problem might be?

    All three programs are possible cultprits. Uninstall them all, see if the KPs stop, then reinstall them one by one to see which is the cause. (May be more than one.)
    You can temporarily uninstall them, one by one, using this command in Terminal in Applications>Utilities. That way you won't actually have to uninstall the entire program. You will need to find the exact name of the .kexts by navigating to /System/Library/Extensions. Observe case and all spaces as written in the example, below. You will need to unload all four vmware.kexts.
    sudo kextunload path to file.kext/
    To reload
    sudo kextload path to file.kext/
    Here is an example.
    sudo kextunload /System/Library/Extensions/PaceSupportFamily.kext/
    Hit return. If you have never used the sudo command, you will get a warning. Then enter your admin password, which you won't see typed on the screen and hit return. Wait for the $ sign prompt to reappear, which will indicate the extension has been unloaded/loaded. Then just close the window.

  • Kernal panic preventing shut down after Mountain Lion upgrade

    Following upgrade to Mountain Lion, kernal panics are stopping shut down of my Mac from the apple menu. I have a late-2009 Mac Mini. OS X closes as normal but then restarts with message "Your computer restarted because of a problem". I have performed disk verfication, repaired permissions, reset VRAM and SMC. Booting from original hardware disc allows a normal shut down, so I suspect this is software related (probably Mountain Lion?). Kernal panic report from Console is below.
    Reading this https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4135480?start=30&tstart=0 suggests problems with nvidia cards and Mountain Lion. My Mac Mini has the original nvidia card it shipped with (9600M) and if I disconnect the display just before shut down it (usually) seems to shut down normally so might be display related?
    Other than the problem with shutting down everything is working normally. First instance of this problem was immediately after installing Mountain Lion. I am currently considering a full-reinstall of Mountain Lion from the recovery partition and using Time Machine to retrieve my settings etc, although I am concerned this will not work if it is a genuine bug.
    Any assistance or solutions gratefully received!

    Hello hotdavesweet,
    It sounds like you have exactly the same problem as I have - nothing connected except the TV, permissions repaired, PRAM reset, etc.
    Are you using Mountain Lion?? I had to downgrade to Lion to solve it. Unfortunately, a very similar problem occurs with the latest version of Lion (10.7.5). I'm sure that something with the latest updates is causing problems on certain Macs. I've filed a bug report with Apple so it may help if you do the same.
    It could be a problem with using Samsung LCD TVs as monitors. Or maybe a graphics card issue - the user in this discussion: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4316892?start=15&tstart=0 noted that a similar problem on a 2009 Mac Pro was caused by their (nvidia) graphics card driver.
    Either way, I think it is something that Apple should address, even if it is only affecting a few users. Apple's mantra used to be that everything just works, but now I cannot upgrade to Mountain Lion with my setup (despite my Mac being easily capable of running it) and nor can I upgrade to Lion 10.7.5. It doesn't work as it should.

  • Kernal panic while updating apple software on my 10,3,9

    Hi,
    I was wondering if anyone could help me figure out what my imac's problem is.
    After some time of having my mac off line and unplugged (about a year & 1/2)
    I got it back on line and running.
    As I was on line the other day everything on the Safari window vanished but the bug image
    on the toolbar.
    I had to restart with the power button because the mac froze, the mac started up,
    but the screen remained black (with some sign of luminosity in an area not black as if off
    I shut down again (w/ button) unplugged the mac waited 5 mins,
    restarted and all proceeded as if normal.
    I inserted Panthers Disc 1, did a restart holding the c key at chime using & did a repair disk in DU
    I got a Disk was okay ..
    I ran software updates via the Updater these are the ones I did.
    2008-10-26 18:15:40 -0500: Installed "Daylight Saving Time Update" (1.0)
    2008-10-26 19:37:33 -0400: Installed "Security Update 2004-10-27" (1.0)

    all was fine till I star ted to do the addtional Jave updates (not seen above) the mac had a kernal panic.
    I did a restart using the power button as directed,
    My screen panel came up Black again,
    Powered off again, unplugged for 5 or so mins.
    Plugged in, restart & the mac ran as expected again.
    I did repair permissions.
    NO new ram installed.
    No periherals plugged in when updating.
    Anybody have any ideas for me ?
    I would appreciate it so much!
    Thank you.

    Hi,
    Yikes!
    You said :::
    After some time of having my mac off line and unplugged (about a year & 1/2)
    I got it back on line and running.
    There could be a problem with you logic board or the LCD, but hmm
    I wonder if perhaps resetting the PMU may help, I think it maybe worth a try.
    Have the person helping you do that.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1712
    from the article above...
    The PMU is a microcontroller chip that is present on the logic board in an iMac (Flat Panel). As the name implies, it's responsible for controlling all power functions for the computer such as power on/power off and some aspects of sleep/wake behaviors.
    * In rare occasions the settings in the Power Manager may become unusable, which can result in operational anomalies with the computer. For example, your computer might not turn on, not wake from sleep, or do (or not do) other things.
    Resetting the PMU is not intended to resolve issues in which your computer stops responding or applications unexpectedly quit. In general, you shouldn't have to reset the PMU except as a last resort in cases where a power management system hardware error is suspected. Performing a PMU reset returns the iMac hardware, including NVRAM, to default settings and forces the computer to shut down.
    Before resetting, try this first...
    If you're experiencing issues with your iMac, for most situations, a restart is sufficient. If your computer has stopped responding, try these steps—in order—until the computer responds:
    Force Quit (Option-Command-Escape)
    Restart (Control-Command-Power)
    Force Shut Down (Press the power button for 10 seconds)
    Reset PRAM
    You should only reset your computer's PMU if none of the steps above resolved your issue. If this is the case, see the instructions below to reset the PMU in your iMac (Flat Panel).
    Important: Resetting the Power Manager on any iMac (Flat Panel) will permanently remove a RAM disk (if you are using Mac OS 9), if present, and all of its contents.
    Resetting an iMac (Flat Panel) PMU
    To perform a reset you will need a Phillips "0" screwdriver. The instructions in this article cover these iMac models:
    Best of luck & please keep us posted!

  • IMac Rebooting - Kernal Panic Problem

    Hi, I am hoping somebody can shed some light on a situation that has been occuring with my iMac. I am running OS X 10.8.2 4GB RAM, 2.93 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo. If there are any other details I can provide I will be happy to do so.
    I get an involuntary (meaning the iMac just does this without warning) reboot, usually while running a video file which has become more persistent since it started a few months ago. I have re-installed my OS which hasn't helped. If anyone can give me an idea of what might be going on that would be great. Thanks in advance! Here are the details of the Kernal Panic:

    Hi, Linc. The Wacom device was disconnected at the time when I tried to run the AHT. I am removing LCC and Little Snitch. Are we doing this to see if I can get AHT to run or to see if it stops the kernel panics? Thanks for your help.
    Also, on a side note. I have been browsing these (and other) forums for a while at times when I've needed to figure other problems out or out of curiosity. I don't ever remember seeing reports of these kernel panics before the release of Mouintain Lion. Now the forums seems to be littered with them. Is this something that is exclusive to or at least a lot more common when running Moutain Lion? Just curious.

  • Kernal panic after failed Leopard install

    Was upgrading a MacMini from the installed 10.4 system to 10.5. The install reported a problem reading the DVD during the first phase of the install (when the DVD and platform was being analyzed) and before any install started.
    Rather than removing the DVD, I went ahead and ran the install a second time, this time hitting SKIP during the first phase. This move the install to the actual install which tried to start but stopped after less than a minute again reporting a problem reading the DVD.
    Since I wasn't sure how to eject the DVD from within the installer, I decided to boot using the 10.4 installed system. Within seconds (just after the apple logo was displayed) there was a kernal panic. A complete shutdown and reboot of the Mini failed to solve the problem and the panic occurred again at the same location in startup.
    I got help on how to remove the DVD and, sure enough, it did have a water spot which I cleaned and re-ran the 10.5 install which was successful. I'm able to boot the new system with any panic.
    I ran a repair disk just to make sure there wasn't some other problem that might have been unrelated to the failed install but no errors (other than a couple APL not found messages) were found.
    My intent is to migrate from a G4, now also running 10.5 but this experience has left me a little concerned that there may be a problem on the Mini that may not have been resolved through the successful Leopard install.
    Are there other tests or utilities I can run to get more comfortable that the panic is gone before I do the migrate?
    Thanks
    Tom

    Use the Apple Hardware Test program that shipped with the machine and then follow up with running Rember. Once that's done, install Leopard and migrate from the G4, make a bootable backup/clone of the new installation, and then apply any subsequent updates.

  • Kernal panics black and white text as well as regular KP screen

    Bought a used Powerbook Alum 15" 1.5 mhz. Almost continually having kernal panics. Started out being just the regular ones, and could not trace it to anything special, so after DW said there were problems with the HD, installed a new one. Helped for a while, but they began again. Tried to do software update tonight and it kept killing and having KP. It's gotten so that a restart gives me a black screen and nothing else. Complete stall. After 4 or 5 tries, finally got a boot to finish. BTW, always got the processor bong, but nothing else. On a java update tonight, got the we are hanging KP. then another, which I copied in full.
    KP tonight was all white text on black background, as follows. Sorry if I missed some caps:

    I know this is a lot of stuff, that I know zero about, but does this mean anything to anyone? Can you suggest the next step I might take to track down the issue? TIA
    Melinda

    Probably I can't be of too much help since I can't read panic logs, but here is an article on resolving kernel panics in general:

    Have you tried reseating your RAM? I have heard that RAM can be a factor in kp's.
    Good luck!

  • What the heck is a "Kernal panic" and how can I fix this?

    Lately, several of my partitions (external firewire) running OS 10.3.9 have crashed and are no longer bootable. one partition crashed upon being turned on, and said that there was 'no driver for powerbook 6, 5' and 'kernal stopping here...' I started up from a different partition, and installed the latest security update, and that repaired my kernal, but now for some reason, I am not an 'administrator,' but I am the only user of this computer. any suggestions?
    someone had this happen in class, and I found out that the problem that I was experiencing was called a 'kernal panic,' and now I want to know why this happens, how to prevent this from happening, and the best software tool to check the health of my system folder. anyone got any suggestions?
    I'm considering installing a clean version of OS 10.3.3, and updating to 10.3.9, but if there is a faster way to fix this, then I'm all ears! thanks!

    Patddfan:
    From your description of what is happening it does not sound like a kernel panic. See What’s a kernel panic. In terms of what to do see: Resolving Kernel Panics
    I suspect that your HDD is in serious need of maintenance. Here's what I would do:
    1. Go to Applications > Utilities > Disk Utility. In the left panel select your HDD (manufacturer ID), and in the main panel select the First Aid tab. Click Repair Disk Permissions.
    2. Boot from your install disk. Go to the Installer menu and launch Disk Utility. Select your HDD (manufacturer ID) in left panel and First Aid in main panel. Click Repair Disk. If DU reports disk needs no repair quit DU and restart.
    If DU reports errors, click Repair again, and again until DU reports the disk is repaired. If DU reports errors it cannot repair you will need to use a utility like Tech Tool Pro or Disk Warrior.
    3. Download MacJanitor and run all the procedures, the follow regular schedule.
    4. Take a look at Gulliver's article Mac OS X System Maintenance and implement procedures.
    Please post back with further questions or comments.
    Good luck.

  • Re-Install result in Kernal Panic

    I was running 10.6.6 and had a time machine back up. I had to re-install so after following Apple instructions, I installed my 10.5 disc and then installed 10.6. I then inserted my 10.5 disc and from utilities chise 'recover' to recover from my TM backup. After the recovery process finished, about 6 hours, it asksed me to restart the machine. I did so and got the 'You need to restart your computer.." kernal panic message.
    Everytime I now try to restart the message keeps coming back no matter which keys i press. Nothing I do will stop the message. I'm very frustrated that something like this has happened after following Apples instructions. Its a simple re-install and didn't expect all this to happen.
    Anyone recommend a solution?
    Many Thanks

    Unlike some other operating systems, that's rarely required on OSX, and usually doesn't accomplish anything (well, not anything good).
    I tried to restore TM backup from Snow Leopard but when it returned a message saying it could delete the HD in preparation for the backup.
    Yes, to do a full restore, the destination must be erased first.
    In the process of trying again so will post an outcome.
    As mentioned in #E8, either do a full restore, or reinstall OSX (and the "combo" update).

  • Continuing Kernal Panic Problem

    Since my previous post - http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1153209 - I regret that I continue to get the dreaded 'Kernal Panic' and minor HDD corruption.
    After taking out the Factory Installed RAM and leaving the new Crucial 512 mb card in seemed to work for a while but the problem persists making the eMac almost unusable.
    I wonder if something is loading up with the 'System' on start up and is screwing around with things. I still get the minor disc error and Disk Warrior reports a particular file with strange Chinese looking characters in the name as being damaged beyond repair. Unfortunately DW won't let me copy the report so I may post it here. Something about text encoding.
    I would try to find the file and move it elsewhere in case it is a .plist file that gets re-written but it's invisible and in Chinese so I can't just type its name to locate it. I'm not sure if this file is the problem anyway. It may have resulted from the problem, if you get my gist.
    The HDD has been checked over numerous times with TechTool Pro 4 and Disk Warrior. The former programme has been used to do a 'surface scan' of the HDD on three occasions and has never found any 'bad blocks' and such. One thing occurs to me now. I need to change the RAM from slot J2 to J1 next. I will try that tomorrow.

    Do you get the KP if you start up with nothing connected except for the keyboard and mouse?
    Yes. At the moment that is all that is connected.
    Thanks for the Language suggestion. I tried this some time ago and almost cocked it up by deleting files I wanted to keep - and vice versa. Misunderstood the instructions and did the opposite of what I needed to do. I managed to stop the programme in time however before the machine became unusable.
    If re-installing Tiger (by Archive and install) can replace any English language files that may have been deleted, I will try reinstalling once again. I think I may have already tried doing this, but it won't hurt to have another go. I will switch RAM slots before I try re-installing Tiger again to see if that does anything.
    I note that I can 'Safe Boot' ok.
