OS X :: MacBook Sleep And Barely Visible Kernel Panic Screen?
May 22, 2009
Something weird has happened twice in the last week or so - I close my MacBook (black), open it later (I think both times I moved it somewhere), and when I re-open the screen is black and I have to restart using the power button.
What I noticed this time is that I could barely make out text on the screen, and although I couldn't read the whole thing, it was definitely a kernel panic "grey screen of death":
I'm wondering why this could be happening - both times it definitely had to do with closing and re-opening the laptop, and I'm wondering what the dimmed screen (I could barely make out the words) says about the issue.

I'm getting this quite frequently now. When I put my MacBook Pro to sleep (bought in novemeber 2011, running OS X Lion 10.7.3) and turn it back on, it crashes after I log in in my account.This is getting quite annoying, and I was wondering if there's something I could do to prevent it to give me a kernel panic after each wake up. I certainly don't want it to become more and more frequent. I don't have a Mac installation DVD so I wouldn't be able to reinstall OS X Lion.Â

i have a Macbook running mountain lion, which froze today on safari. I had to force close then when I restarted, it stuck on the grey screen with apple logo and pinwheel. I tried rebooting in safe mode, which eventually came up with the following   Â
panic(cpu 0 caller 0x004384FF): "unable to find driver for this platform: "ACPI".
"@/SourceCache/xnu/xnu-1228.12.14/iokit/Kernel/IOPlatformExpert.cpp: 1407Â Â
and a lot of other stuff under that. I understand this is a kernel panic? Â
i've tried a disk repair which came back as 'disk utility can't repair this disk etc'Â Â
is there any hope I will be able to connect via Ethernet to another mac and get to my hard drive or is all hope lost? Â

I am stuck with DOS-looking commands on the gray apple startup screen. Part of the commands are listed below. I can't do anything. I'm not even sure I've been able to reboot, although I've tried holding the power button, holding S+Cmd+power, and holding ctrl+option+cmnd+shift+power. I can get it to go dark like it's rebooting, but the gray apple screen pops back up and about 3 seconds later the codes come back.

My 3+ year old MacBook is unable to startup anymore. Whenever I boot up, after the apple logo I get the Kernel Panic. This happened after one time when I forced shutdown after I thought my macbook crashed. I've read from past threads this is possibly to do with hardware problems, but I can still boot to bootcamp windows (which I am currently using) and all seems to work fine. What can I do?

I think it's UNIX. Not too familiar with it. I have G4 powerbook. 4 years old. Tiger. I was surfing safari, when I got the wheel. Couldn't even click the desktop to activate the finder. Did a hard reboot. Now, the mac Icon comes up, then goes to a black screen, then to the MAC OSX start up window (bar doesn't move). Then a black screen with Darwin/BSD (new-host.home) (console) login: It just comes up with a line that ends with my user name and restarted then same thing happens.

I turned up one day to teach using the Mac Pro and the message on the screen said I had to restart my computer. After many times I gave up. I wrongly thought the hard disk failed as one of the pupils saw some water underneath the Mac from the leaking roof. I checked and formatted the hard drive inside a pc and put Windows on it. After inserting the hard drive and the OSX into the dvd drive proceeded to re-install the software, only to find exactly the same problem as before. What to check next before trying to find someone to fix it.

Last night I was defraging my G4 OS Tiger 10.4.11 and at about 53% the power went out. Now all I get at start up is the Kernel Panic screen. What should be my first step?

Last night I was in the middle of downloading a file and had a kernal panic (crash report below).When I now log in I either immediately get a black screen ( but can see white spots which are the corners of windows opened) or sometimes I get to my desktop but after a few minutes the screen windows deteriate (repeatative ghosting like an old 80'spop video!) which then become unresponsive. I'm figuring it's had it's day now and hope to get a new iMac tonight. I would like to migrate everything but am unsure whether this is a hard drive failure ( in which case the migration is probably out of the window) or something else?Â

For the past few days (never happened before) my apps started crashing continuously and kernel panic screen started appearing very frequently. I am still wondering what may be the cause of it, then I tested my RAM with Rember, and this log showed up:

I did a quick search through the forum and didn't see anything specific about this problem. It just started to occur yesterday and nothing has changed on the computer. (Nothing new installed and no external hardware plugged in.)
Basically, it just pops up with the grey screen advising to restart. Sometimes it occurs after waking from sleep, sometimes it occurs after starting up, and sometimes it occurs in the middle of a task. I haven't noticed a specific pattern.
I ran the AHT and everything passed. I also ran Rember and the memory seemed fine in the test. I reset the PRAM and VRAM and the SMC after speaking with Apple. Finally, I reinstalled the OSX clean on the machine and the panics are still occurring.
This is the last panic report from the Macbook 1,1 2.0 with 1.25 GB RAM. I'm hoping it is the RAM and not something with the logic board, but am not sure if that can be ascertained without finding replacement RAM first.

My computer had problems with display, track pad, not powering up, and lots of parts were replaced in January (MacBook Pro purchased 12.31.09). Got it home, after a while constant kernal panics. tried everything, brought it into Apple store yesterday, ran diagnostics, hard disk repaired, seemed OK.Â
Shortly after I came home it happened again. I repaired permissions, did verify disk, no problems with disk. Updated software, including went to Java and Adobe and updated them. Nothing works. Now the permissions note lots of problems with Remote Management (one of the updates from yesterday, 5.21) and Java (yesterday too). MacBook Pro OS X 10.6.8, would like to go to Lion but don't want to until my machine is stable?

I'm running a PowerBook G4 and I have recently run into some problems with kernel panic. I have bought and installed new ram, zapped the pram, and re-written the hard drive and I still have problems. The weird thing is, the computer only crashes when I move it. If I just sit still then it works fine, but if I move it from my lap to a table or something like that then I get the restart message. I have an appointment with the Geek bar tomorrow

I'm having a weird problem with a 15" I bought in February (2009). I can boot up fine into the OS without any problems. But when I try to boot from the reinstallation CD to do a clean install, I keep getting a kernel panic. (And yes, I do need to do a clean install.)

I've been experiencing recurring kernel panics for at least a month now and I seem to have narrowed down the issue to the RAM. Now I'm just not sure whether it's corrupt kernel files associated with the RAM or the actual hardware itself. I've run the extended apple hardware test and the error message I recieve (within 5 seconds) is that the error is with the file 4MEM/1/40000000:0x84938218 I've downloaded memtest and run that within terminal. Funny thing about that is as soon as I type "memtest all" my macbook kernel panics almost immediately. Something about the "memory lock-up" phase".Â
Other than that my computer works fine as long as I don't run too many applications at once. Often times video streaming or opening too many tabs in a web browser will do it. And you can forget about running games that will kernel panic almost immediately. here's an example of the logs I've been getting. It's not the most recent but they all say the same thing-I've checked. Interval Since Last Panic Report:

My MacPro keeps having kernel panic (4x in a week, then none in almost 2 weeks, then comes back again today) even when everything is updated. And I recognize that I always get the kernel panic only when I visit this one website where I usually go to stream an online movie. What could be wrong with my Mac? Is there a way to stop and/or prevent future kernel panic attack?

I recently purchased a mid-2012 MacBook Pro (15-inch, 2.3 GHz, non-retina) and I have been receiving Kernel Panic error messages. The screen goes black with white text in multiple languages warning me to shut down my computer and the computer freezes. I have called Apple customer service multiple times. We tried multiple things, including wipe the hard drive and reinstall OS X Lion, but I still get Kernel Panics. One thing I did notice in the "send to Apple" report is that it mentions Google Chrome. It seems whenever I do get a Kernel Panic I am using Chrome. Here are the applications I have installed (besides the default Apple ones):Coda 2Final Cut Pro XTwitterGoogle Chrome Right now, as suggested by the second Apple associate, I uninstalled Google Chrome, to see if that was the cause. She says that it could be related to that or from a software update (which I doubt considering I have yet to install any updates since I reinstalled Lion).Â

I've purchased my first MacBook air. This is the second crash it had in two days. The first one occured when I was watching a youtube video and the second one happened while closing Chrome (while watching a youtube video). Should I go back to the store or can I fix this myself? [code]

I'm suddenly getting a ghosting effect on my Macbook's screen and text in documents and windows is sometimes barely readable. Strangely the machine starts up with a perfect image for a short time, then changes, so I suspect software rather than hardware. I've tried playing with settings in system preferences as well as repairing permissions. Should I perhaps try a PMU reset?

I have read a million different posts, forums and most places people wouldn't want to go. This Mac is being very stubborn.
I have tried booting to safe mode, running the install disk, tried to load the utility on the install disk even tried a copy of diskwarrior (but I am not sure if it was a bootable copy).
In almost every instance the machine tries to load the cd and then spits it out and I get the restart screen. A few times I get the install to load but then it takes me to a screen that says something like �startup� run or install from these device after reboot, or something to that effect.
I even tried the command, option p r. If I just hit option with no disk it will list the mac hd. The machine is about 5 years old and is running osx 10.4.1?
This isn�t my machine so I can�t answer many questions about the OS. I was given a Snow Leopard 10.5 disk that appears to have been open.

I've noticed this happening for the past few weeks. Basically if I'm watching video on any flash website like YouTube, and I plug in headphones, I get a kernel panic. So as normal I hold the power button to shut it off. However, when I turn it back on, it will beep 2 times, then 3 times, and continue to beep until I turn it off. When I power it on again, it won't beep but it sits on the blank screen before the Apple logo shows up and basically nothing happens and my fans start to go loud. I did this about 3 times before it loaded to the Apple logo loading screen and finally booted properly. After it crashed I removed the headphones, and nothing except the magsafe charger is plugged in.

I have a uMB 2.4 GHZ. Bluetooth has always been fickle on this computer (jumpy mouse), but tonight when I turned bluetooth on from the menu bar as I was about to use the computer from clamshell mode hooked up to my TV, I got my first kernel panic on this MacBook.
I am curious if it is a software issue with bluetooth or hardware. Can anyone make anything from the log?

My husband's mac book started acting weird while I was out own town. He was unable to get it to start up, but eventually did, backed up his important data, and then I had him attempt to verify and repair permissions. I guess it indicated there were errors but could not fix them. Once again, his macbook stalls at start up and will not get past the gray screen with the apple and the wheel. Last night at this point it kernel panicked.
Today (since I'm back now) I tried to boot it in safe mode, and it still hangs. I zapped the PRAM, and that didn't help. My next step is to try and boot from his install discs, when he finds them. My question is, should I bother trying to verify and repair, or should I just do an archive & install (if possible) or an erase and install (if necessary)? This is a mac book from 06-ish running 10.4.? My hubby claims to not have installed or updated anything recently.

I have a MBP, it had a flickering screen (graphics card), so I got it fixed under warranty, then about a month after the fix, the MBP refused to wake - I took it back again and it was fixed.
Now the MBP is experiencing repeated kernel panics - especially after the any system update - there were a few recently.
The only solution seems to be switching the machine off and letting it cool.

A MacBook air that I just got up and running again after replacing the hinges along with the whole top half of the computer. I did a clean install of snow leopard, and was so happy to be using the air again.
After changing some settings and loading a couple off apps in my room with the lights off (so I could see the backlit keyboard), I flipped on the light switch in my room, and was immediatly shown the the kernel panic screen, and was forced to shut down.
I figured this was just a random occurance, so I booted back up, but was in kernel panic as soon as snow leopard booted. Went through this a couple more times, then shut the lights in my room back off, rebooted, and was able to boot up just fine. I then took a flashlight and ran the beam across the ambient light sensor, next to the camera, and was instantly in kernel panic again.
After saying WTF for a while I decided to swap the camera/ALS/mic board over from my old screen bc I figured maybe this new one is just bad. But this resulted in more of the same. I then did a new fresh and clean snowleopard install, but about 5 mins after finishing the install, it went right back to the good old kernel panic screen.
Now I don't really know where to go from here. The computer is way out of warranty, and after what I was quoted from my local apple repair store to repair the hinges and screen that I just fixed, I think I would just get nauseous at the thought of having to bring it to them now.

I have a macbook pro 15'' model intel core 2 duo, with Processor VRAM 256 MB i have for a lil more than 4 years now and i recently when i tried to turned on one day my mac was starting up then all the sudden i get this message '' you need to restart your computer press the power button for several seconds untill shuts off then restart computer '' this message appear in like 4 different languages.I did own research and found out what happened was my machine was having a Kernel Panic which never happened before, then i tried to fix it myself, and did all the steps tha i have found on the support apple website and other different steps i found in different techn support webs for mac on the web. To summed it up what i did was trying to reboot from the installation CD that came with my mac when purchased it, i also try rebooting the RAM or PRAM to see if that was the problem nothing worked, then somehow i found out this step the Apple Hardware Test AHT which i did and the results were optimal, nothing that had to do with hardware was wrong or going bad, then i tried to reboot from
CD but my mac woudlnt read the installation CD of the Operative System, then somehow pressing down one key i dont remembered; finally the optical drive read the Installtion CD for Mac OS X, so once i got there i did a full scan of the HD( hard drive which had the Mac OS X ) to see if something was wrong, i did it and the results were that hard drive was fine and not needed repaired, but i was doing the full checking of the condition of my hard drive when on Disk Utility option on the installation CD still had to do the part of the Repair Disk permissions so i run the option Repair Disk permission and then it gave me list of archives and directories that had to be fixed and others that couldn't or something but at the end it said the disk permissions had been repaired or something like that, finally restart the computer from the hard drive so now its working and then the system gave me the report on the Kernel panic And the title of the report was '' Problem Report for the Mac OS X Kernel '' , so far my computer is working just fine but i wanna know what i need to do now.
