Strange pink squares while booting and then kernel panic

Hello everybody.
This is my boot screen. It began 2 days ago when I tried to update Mac OS to version 10.6.8 v 1.1. When I start my MBP after 2 minutes it hangs. If I try to boot again the history repeats. When I boot from SnowLeo DVD (version 10.6.3) after 3-4 minutes of waiting (spinning wheel spins) I receive kernel panic message. After it I try to boot again and everything works. I tried to repair my HDD with Disk Utility (seems like it was needed to be repaired) but problem still present. I afraid to switch off my Mac. Any suggestions what could it be?
P.S. Sorry for my bad english, I was too lazy to learn it well.

Boot sequence kernel panics before the appearance of the login screen or desktop are almost always hardware related, unless a specific driver was installed or specific hardware was connected which wasn't before.  That it is coupled with a graphics display issue that often is chip related, says it is hardware related, since the only thing that controls the graphics on the boot screen is the graphics chip itself.

    Try the usual steps: restart, reset, restore.

    If restoring using a backup doesn't help, try restoring the iPhone to factory settings and try for a while with just the Apple-included apps, to make sure it's not an issue with a third-party app. If it still has problems, it may have a hardware problem and will need to be sent to Apple.

    Something is messed up with the Disk.
    "Try Disk Utility
    1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
    2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu at the top of the screen. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
    Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.
    3. Click the First Aid tab.
    4. Select your Mac OS X volume.
    5. Click Repair. Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."

  • All fine and now kernel panic once a week?

    After years of never having seen one, I am getting kernel panics about once a week. They seem to occur when I am online. I am running OS 10.6.8 (yes, I know) and have had no problems. I had been running Norton Antivirus (yes, I now know about that too) without incident for a few years but have now removed it. Otherwise nothing has changed except for whenever the last Apple system update was. I am currently up to date, OS not withstanding.
    Below is the log for the last panic if anyone is a kernel whisperer:

  • Grey bar shows up when booting and then iMac shuts down

    Hello,
    when I turned on my iMac (early 2010, Mountain Lion) today, strangely, after the apple logo, it showed up a login page (It never showed up before). I choosed my user and password and it came back to the same screen.
    Then I rebooted my Mac a grey bar showed up in the apple logo screen and it took about 30 min for it to reach the end. When the bar was at the end the mac shut off.
    I can go to my windows partition without any problem but i noticed the mac hd is now named "EPI Boot".
    I tried to install a fresh copy of the osx but the hard drive is locked.
    In the disk utility menu, the Macintosh HD is greyed out and if I try to mount it it gives an error saying I need to repair it first, but if I try to repair it, another error shows up saying the disk utility cannot repair this disk.
    I tried to boot up pressing CMD-V to see what is going on and this shows up:
    It does this 3 times and then says it cannot repair the disk and shuts off.
    Thank you for your time.

    Ok, I booted the mac using Disk Warrior, the MacHD wasn't showing up but after waiting a while it showed up. I repaired the disk using the software and now it's working

  • MDD boots and then goes to sleep immediately

    have a dual gig MDD and suddenly the thing just started going to sleep or powering down right after booting up.
    i've taken everything out and unplugged eveything to bring it back to it's intial state; i've zapped pram; i've pulled the battery; nothing seems to help.
    with the hardware cd as the boot, i get the following
    Invalid memory access at %SRR0: 00034870 %SRR1: 00003030
    USB Setup Error: 40140000 400001
    bad Bus info CRC-16
    Apple PowerMac3,6 4.4.8f2 BootROM built on 09/30/02 at 10:24:31
    which made me think it might be one of the RAM sticks. so i've puleld them, tried with just one and still nothing, swapped sticks, no go. with the cd in, when it goes to sleep, upon waking i get:
    Decrementer exception at %SRR0: 056106dc %SRR1: 00003030
    at first i thought it might be the boor drive but since booting from the CD still causes the problem, my guess is the MoBo.
    if anyone can help me out, maybe something i've missed so i dont have to spend $500 on a new MoBo, i would be very grateful

    An overheating proc can definitely make the thing go to sleep. But I don't know what would make the fan power stop working. I believe that's controlled by the PMU, but you've reset that.
    I've seen some pretty strange PMU-related behavior, so nothing would really surprise me. Just today, I found that my firewire ports weren't working - they'd power peripherals, but I couldn't get either of my FW drives to show on the desktop. I booted to two different internal drives and had the same problem. I reset the PRAM, NVRAM, and the PMU and no improvement. Finally, I unplugged the PRAM battery, hit the PMU reset button, and let it sit an hour before plugging it all in again and viola - firewire worked!
    It might seem redundant, but if I were in your shoes, I'd unplug that PRAM battery again, hit the reset button, leave it out for a couple of hours, and then plug it all in again to be absolutely sure. Also, be sure never to press the PMU button twice between starts.

  • Installed 10.6.7 and Getting Kernel Panic on Boot

    I got the notice to update to 10.6.7 on my 15" 2.66 i7 and when it restarted to install the update, I immediately got a kernel panic. I was able to get it to boot into safe mode and I did a time machine backup. After some research and work..
    I ran a 35 pass zero out, and then straight reinstalled OS-X from my discs. I still get the same panic from boot.
    panic(cpu caller 0x5592711): Unable to find driver for this platform: \"ACPI\".\n"0/SourceCache/xnu/xnu-1504.3.52/iokit/Kernel/IOPlatformExpert.cpp:1 389

    Help...
    The only thing left that I can think of is that the update fubarred the HDD. I put an aftermarket 640GB drive into it about 3 months ago. I was considering re-installing the factory drive and see what happens. I have tried everything that I could within the OSX restore discs, and nothing seems to help. It seems weird that a 35 pass + restore didn't cure it, if it was software related. Which makes me think firmware/mechanical.
    Thoughts?

    I think you missed the part where I said:
    "I ran a 35 pass zero out, and then straight reinstalled OS-X from my discs. I still get the same panic from boot."
    I still had issues after a fresh install. So, I did a 35 pass zero out and re-installed. Same error.
    I just finished installing the factory drive, and mysteriously everything works fine now. Either the update corrupted the aftermarket drive, or the update causes the computer to recognize my aftermarket drive and make it "not work". Either way, I am just going to leave the factory drive in it, as I am selling the laptop and getting a newer version.

  • Powerbook won't Boot--It will Kernel Panic and Freeze Though

    I'm trouble shooting a 17" Powerbook G4 1.33. When I received it, there was no hard drive, it would boot to a flashing "?". I installed a brand new 160 GB ATA drive and attempted to install 10.4. The installation went smooth and fairly quickly but when it restarted it would either KP or freeze on every attempt. It will advance past the gray Apple and spinning gear, past the blue screen, and get to the small window where OSX is loading. Once there, the bar would advance anywhere from hardly anything to maybe an 8th of the way before KP-ing.
    I thought the installation may have been bad so I attempted to reinstall 10.4. I tried to boot from the disc but would get a KP at the gray Apple screen, sometimes it would get to the "choose your language" box but then mess up. I ended up having to connect the Powerbook to my G5 and erase the hard drive via Firewire and TDM. After it was erased, I thought maybe the 10.4 disc was bad, so I attempted to install a brand new copy of 10.5 Leopard. Again installation went smooth until the restart. Now it will get as far as playing the Welcome movie/graphic introduction for anywhere from 2-7 seconds and then lock up-not a KP. After this I attempted to boot from both the 10.4 and 10.5 disc and it will KP on every attempt.
    Could the hard drive, although brand new, be bad? It was formatted and the OS sees it every time it gets that far into the installation. When in TDM it reported the full amount and was easily seen that way as well. FSCK reported the volume was ok. I tried swapping RAM with my sisters iBook G4 with no luck either. I removed the Airport card, thried booting in Safe Mode, zapped PRAM, reset NVRAM---nothing helps. The only time the hard drive seems to function is when it's completely erased. Once the computer tries to access it, it locks up.
    Sorry about the long post. I wanted to be thorough.

    A quick update. I removed the battery, RAM, top case, and then the Superdrive. I then put the top case back on, disconnected the Airport card, and installed only one of the RAM sticks. I tried powering up and it actually booted. The furthest I've seen it go was about a quarter of the OSX loading bar. This time it loaded the OS and got to Finder where I was actually able to play around with it until I shut it down. Now I have to figure out what was causing the trouble. I'm leaning toward the Superdrive but it could also be the RAM, Airport card, top case cable....Anyway thanks again for all the help. I'll update later on.

  • IPOD freezes while SYNCING - and then gets file error

    Hello all,
    i have a standard 40gb click wheel ipod, quite old, it works, but limited. The ipod just freezes while syncing now, it has been restored numerous times, but 2 not much avail, i can get one or two albums on there, then everytime i try and sync the ipod just freezes, and has to be reset. Every TIme i plug the ipod into my vista laptop it says, the says. SCAN AND FIX, ( because i couldnt get anything else to work i tried this ) and this is what vista told me
    http://img155.imageshack.us/img155/9118/vistafixesipodlu5.png
    i was like woah, so i proceded to restore the ipod then it seemed to work, for a day. then went back to the freezing while syncing, then next time i plugged in the ipod, windows said the disk needs to be formated before it could be used, so i tried that ( cos itunes was doing sweet **** ALL ) and windows couldnt format it, and neither cos HP USB FORMAT Tool. so i reset the ipod, plug it back into vista, and behold, SCAN AND FIX COMES UP, so i click it, it fixes it, but only loads 1 album before it freezes while syncing again, i have the screenshots,it took 11 screenshots, to get the FULL MESSAGE, that vista chkdsk gave me, there was thousands of these "BAD LINKS IN LOST CHAIN at CLUSTER XXXXX Corrected" messages
    im currently listening to Three Days Grace on the ipod, works GREAT, except if i try and put more then this ONE album on it, it freezes while syncing, and gives me the unknown file error. SO any ideas if this ipod can be fixed, cos itunes cant do anything, im assuming there is physical unrepairable damage to the HDD of the ipod and will need replacing if this ipod wants to be in full working order again.
    The ipod is NOT under warranty either, so does any1 know where in Australia, it be fitted with a new HDD? Thanks
    kind Regards,
    Hayden

  • IMac G5 boots, and then goes to black screen

    This is not my iMac, but a friend who is using this that she got from here son who upgraded to an Intel iMac. The hardware is a G5 20 iMac. I don't have any more information since it wont power on....or have the installation disks...
    The symptoms are that the machine will power on, "bong" show the blue apple screen, then the spinning lines and then suddenly a black screen and nothing more. I booted to single user via Command-S and ran fsck to ensure the disk was clean. Ir reported no errors, but halfway through the check the fans came on full. Only having experienced an Inetl iMac's fans, they were very load. When the fsck finished (with no errors) the fans turned off again. When i exitied the shell to reboot, the same thing happened again. Black screen and not repsonse.
    The fact that I can get to single user shell and check the disks points to most of it working, but I'm confused as to why it gets no further.
    ANy help would be appreciated as she want to migrate from her current PC based workflow to a more reliable(!) one, but this isn't helping....
    Thanks,
    Jimmy

    Thanks to the responders for their input. I was fearing the worst. However, it looks like the issue wasn't as serious as a broken capacitor. I don't understand why the following worked, as it's not as if the machine was always not working, but just started.
    As part of the diagnostic process, the back was opened and then the memory reseated. After reboot this still failed. Then Command Option O F to get into open firmware and then
    reset-nvram
    set-defaults
    reset-all
    and the machine rebooted and came up again.
    So far there have been no problems, but it looks like this was the fix.

  • Late 2012 mac mini display signal drops while booting and monitor goes to sleep

    I have a new Late 2012 Mac Mini.  I have had it for a week, what just started happening is that during restart, the video signal drops and my monitor goes to sleep.  I then have to toggle through the input options on the monitor and the video signal is detected again and the monitor wakes up.
    Here is what I see - If i shut down and then power back up, I get the grey screen, then the apple logo, then the little status circle spins for a few cycles then stops and then the screen goes black and the monitor says signal lost and then 5 seconds later goes to sleep.
    It is possible it is my monitor but, I haven't had any issues with it and i only drops the signal like that during a reboot.

    Welcome to the family. Search this forum for the main thread for this problem titled: "mac mini 2012 video blinking out".

  • Motion boots and then quits

    Could someone please tell me why the motion application on my final cut studio starts and then quits? all of the other final cut applications are working. I did a reinstall and the same thing happens. What to do? Thanks. Terrence

    What version of Motion are you using and on what machine?
    Trying to use a PPC version of Motion on an Intel box will cause the problem you have

  • I sweated into my shuffle while running and then saw all of these posts. I'm surprised that Apple sold us something that was so fragile. A $50 lesson learned.

    I sweated into my shuffle while running and it quit.  I saw all of these other posts on the problem after the fact.  Too bad Apple sells something that is so fragile when used for athletic reasons. I had used the free engraving feature and had "Keep running" engraved on it.  How ironic! I'll write it off as a fifty dollar learning experience and run in silence for awhile.

    Hi Seraphiel07.
    I have a very similar issue. Hardware involved:
    Apple MacMini (Mid 2011) - OSX 10.8.2. iTunes 10.7. Home Sharing enabled.
    Apple TV (3rd Generation). Home Sharing (access) enabled.
    Apple MacBook Pro (15" Mid-2009). OSX 10.8.2. iTunes 10.7. Home Sharing enabled.
    Apple iPad 2 (Wifi only). iOS 6
    Apple iPhone 4S. iOS 6
    All connected through:
    Apple Time Capsule 8.0211n (4th Gen)
    I have an iTunes library on the MacBook Pro, shared over "Home Sharing" and another (duplicate content, different library name) iTunes library on my MacMini, which is also accessed through the Apple TV.
    All software is current (as of Sep 26th).
    All movies are iTunes purchases. 80 in total.
    All files are purchased (and home shared) under one account.
    My last two iTunes purchases both HD movies on 09/17/2012 and 09/05/2012 refuse to appear on any device accessing either of the two Libraries over Home Sharing. It should be noted that every other movie (the other 78) all show up and play correctly. I therefore know it is not an issue with connectivity, otherwise I would see zero movies available.
    I have:
    1. Removed all content from each Library and re-added
    2. Upgraded the OS on the MacMini 10.8.2
    3. Tested viewing the two missing movies on other Apple devices and no luck.
    4. Turn home sharing on and off within iTunes and also on each device.
    It would appear to me that the issue is with the files themselves, rather than the devices as different devices and different versions have been tested.
    All comments welcome.

  • Boot Camp causes Kernel Panics on Startup

    Hi all,
    I just purchased a new MBP. I had installed everything and transferred all of my files from my previous notebook (via Time Machine). System was working very well.
    I wanted to install a windows partition via boot camp. used Boot Camp Assistant to create a 50GB partition (leaving >200GB of free space on my main partition) for windows 7. Installed this perfectly fine.
    Started up OS X again, and was using that for the rest of the day. Played a game in Boot Camp for an hour or so just now. Now, every time I try to boot to my OS X (10.6.4) partition, it kernel panics. Grey curtain of death.
    I booted into the backup disc, and repaired the drive using Disk Utility. This found some errors and supposedly fixed them. Permission repair went likewise. Still no luck booting into OS X (but I can use the Windows 7 Ultimate x64 partition just fine).
    While trying to resolve this issue, I tried to reinstall OS X over the partition that would not boot up. Erased ONLY that partition and tried to install. Install appeared to work fine, but when not booting from the CD (after the installation finished) it panicked again.
    The only way to resolve the issue was to completely repartition the drive and reinstall OS X.
    Has anyone else had this problem, and resolved it? I would really like to be able to use boot camp...

    I would recommend cloning your system to another drive in addition or instead of using TimeMachine so you have a bootable backup. Also for booting from to run repairs, and if/when you turn to 3rd party disk repair programs like Disk Warrior.
    I suspect it has more to do with 10.6.4.
    Did you install the Apple SETUP drivers and such in Windows 7? the Boot Camp 3.0.x and 3.1? your OEM DVD has those, and likely has more current than what was provided last year even.
    Panics are often external USB cables, devices, RAM, but hardware, and sometimes from drivers. But I doubt it has to do with Windows 7.

  • After Boot Camp installation, Kernel Panic when launching OSX partition

    Hey guys. I have a mac mini (early 2009) with Mac OSX 10.6.2 running. I installed XP Professional Sp3 using the Boot Camp Assistant with no errors. It works fine. However, whenever I launch the OSX partition, even in single-user mode, it Kernel Panics. What can I do to stop this?
    I have a legal copy of XP and OSX, by the way.

    this does not sound like a problem with anything on your drive then but rather a firmware issue. just to make sure, how are you booting from the DVD? reboot and hold "c" at the chime. any luck? if not reboot and hold option at the chime. this ought to boot you into startup disk manager where you can choose what to boot from.
