IMac :: Won't Work With Kernel Panic And DIMM0 Error
Sep 3, 2008
I'm having crazy kernel panics on my 1GHz iMac G4, every 15 mins or so. There was a power outage and it wouldn't boot up (stuck on gray screen) so the MacGenius wiped my hard drive and reloaded 10.3.5 (yeah I had 10.3.9 - old stuff). Before the MacGenius got to it, the Hardware extended test showed no memory failures, but now the Hardware test shows: memory error detected, 2 MEM/1/4: DIMM0/J22.
I can't get the software update to run, but the kernel panics happened when I had the latest updates (for the 10.3), so I don't think thats the issue (but another issue).
I have had the computer open before so I'm comfortable with crackin it open, but if I were to pull one of the ram cards, which one is DIMM0 ?
I bought a used macpro still on apple warranty quad core 2.93 with 8gb ram from OWC and 4 hardrive 1 by apple factory. One WD caviar black 640gb 32mb cache, 2 HD 320gb which I am using with raid stripped. Morover I have a second DVD LG mounted. It is happening that at least once a day the system give me a GSOD and when I switchd the machine on again the system give me the following reporting error:

My computer has been freezing for a while now, but today I got an error message which said "You need to restart your computer". When I logged in I got an error message which said "Mac OSX quit unexpectadly" I've had it since 2006 and it's worked fine up until a couple of months ago.

After installing 4GB of RAM on my unibody macbook pro, I get a kernel panic error. Am I right that the problem is about CPU? Is that mean that it is dying or broken?
Here what is said:

I'm having problems with my powerbook freezing up and needing to be restarted. It's been concluded that when you apply pressure left of the trackpad it freezes with a kernel panic error.
Does anyone know if this can be fixed without a new logicboard? What causes the kernel panic error? Is it allways a hardware problem??
I was having kernel panics quite often before 10.5.2, and they don't seem to have stopped even after the upgrade. Someone mentioned that it might have been the aftermarket RAM I installed (which is fully up to apple specs btw). But I noticed something on the error report that leads me to think it might be my M-Audio firewire external sound card instead. I've highlighted the spot in red.

I'm in possession of a mac pro 2x 2.8ghz intel quad core running leopard. I have a main hardrive and a secondary harddrive. I was attempting to reformat the first hd and reinstall leopard. I pop in the cd as I have with many other systems, click the install startup and reboot, after about 4 minutes of waiting I see the black screen drop and it asks me to restart my comp, presumably a kernel panic error. I've done this with two different hd's to rule out it being an hd problem. I've also procured a friend's copy of leopard and the same problem occurs. The system was acquired from a local business that closed recently and sold off it's stuff which is how I came into possession of the system. It has no 3d party hardware that I can see. I find myself wondering if it is a problem with the motherboard and since the system used to be for business purposes perhaps there is some sort of block or lockout on the mobo that's preventing an installation.
My computer broke down so I had a repaired and the original software was re-installed and it worked perfect. Whenever I restore from Time Machine, I get the kernel panic error. I have to reload the original software and it works perfect again. I tried using Migration Assistant, but it fails every time after 30 minutes of saying 1 minute left to transfer documents. I go in to Time Machine and view my external hard drive and all my stuff is still there, except I noticed my applications are crossed out. At least the non-default ones. That may just be because they're not currently loaded.Â
What can I do from here? I was using Lion before my computer went down. I'm now using the OSX install DVD. I also have the Snow Leopard, but haven't tried that, if it even makes a difference.
My dad's computer just had a kernel panic and I want to fix it fast. I've already run the basic Apple hardware test and it says no problems found. About last week he added 8GB (2x4GB) modules to his Mac Pro. He's running OSX 10.5.8, when he started it back up, it said OSX has recovered from an error/serious error and sent a report to Apple. The most recent thing he did was change his external backup drive (for TM) to a fresh one - a 1TB Lacie HD. Is there anything I can do to figure out what happened? Is it possible this could be just a once off thing, or maybe it was that mosaic screensaver? When the kernel panic occurred it was on that screensaver.
I have a PowerBook G4, 1.33 GHz, 512MB ram and I am having trouble installing leopard. I have backed up the hard drive and erased it for a clean install. Every time I go to install if freezes at "calculating estimated time remaining" and gives a kernel panic error. I am unable to check the panic log as the hard drive was erased. I have already repaired disk, reset pram etc.
I just experienced my first kernel panic (very scary). Fortunately I could restart the MacBook without any problems. It happened while I was watching a video online. I'm running Mac OS X version 10.6.2 and I had 5 opened apps: Safari, Firefox, Mail, iTunes and iChat (all the latest versions) I would really appreciate if somebody can interpret the log so I know if my computer has a serious problem.

I'm trying to fix my iMac. I am getting a kernel panic from start up! I've tried troubleshooting from the apple website. I've tried holding C. I only have two disk. Mac OS S install disc 1 & 2. I've tried holding Control, Option, R, and P.
I am quite new to Mac and I've had the new 21.5' imac for around a month now and since few days ago, I started getting kernel panics at least once a day.
I just got a refurbished iMac G5 from the university. When I got home I installed all of my applications. I then update them. Like usual, I have to restart the computer when they are done installing to complete the process, so I do. However, when I boot up the computer again I get a Kernal Panic. ("You need to restart your computer. Hold down the power button for several seconds or press the Restart button.")
I have an iMac that I bought in October 2007. All of a sudden, when I try to boot up my computer, I get a kernel panic. Can't get any further than the kernel panic even though I keep on re-booting.
I've just had two kernal panics. The second time it was during start up. Now it won't start up at all. Gets to the White screen and tells me to restart. I bought this 8 months ago and have had nothing but trouble.
Recently my 2-year old iMac (20inch (2Ghz, 320GB, 4GB RAM, OSX Leopard) has been crashing every day. The way to temporally "fix" the kernel panic is to restart the machine and boot into the instal disc, and run the disk utility (repair permissions, then repair disk). If I do not run the disk utility daily, the computer will begin crashing again over and over. Below you'll find the the crash data (which is always the same):

I honesty don't know what to do to stop the crashing (other than runing disk utility every day). This is never happened before now.
My iMac keeps restarting with a kernel problem error message. A while ago I had the same problem soIÂ reinstalled Mavericks and all was fine for a while now the problem has returned. Why did it start in the first place and more importantly can I stop it?...it just restarted again as I'm writing this.
Recently my iMac 24" was randomly shutting off, finder unresponsive, applications could not launch, and startup would take upwards of 4 minutes. Thought it was most definitely a harddrive issue because when I would option-boot (had windows 7 on another partition) no bootable drives would appear and upon trying to boot the install CD I would get a Kernel Error. I ended up getting a brand new 1.5 TB this afternoon and installed it in the iMac a few hours ago. Now when booting the computer I get the HDD with a question mark as I should since there is not data on the drive... Problem begins when I try and boot from CD, where I'm getting a Kernel error. Spinning circle for about 3-4 minutes after selecting CD from the option-boot or when booting while holding down C. Here are the logs from my Verbose mode boot, I have nowhere for the logs to save so i had to take hi-res pics, sorry.

System Specs are as follows. Aluminum 24" iMac running OS X and Windows 7 (both with all updates) 2 gigs of ram geforce 8800 i think.... Memory should be fine, i have two 1 gig sticks, and I've tried booting the computer with each of them installed separately. Also have tried resetting nvram, pram, etc... ALL the usual recommended steps so you can skip those suggestions.
I am just starting a new job and have been getting extreme speed issues on my computer followed by this recent kernel panic. I am running 4 2 TB G Speeds through eSATA. My computer went down, when I brought it back up Final Cut Pro took 5-10 minutes just to simply open. I wasn't even attempting to open a certain project. Any ideas based on the attached Kernel report? [code]
I'm getting a kernel panic at start up and the optical drive wont read the start up DVD. I can boot up windows via bootcamp and the machine runs fine. I'm not getting any red LED's on my risers, so i'm assuming its not a RAM issue. I have a Mac Pro 8-core (2008) stock, just added 10 gigs of RAM.
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 get kernel panics after a few min's of running the Mac pro. The ram are perfectly paired (2x 4gb in both slots, both in the first 2) and I get issues with it it seems. It started to happen as of today but didn't happen the days before. Nothing was changed in the configs or software.
I recently got a Dell 2209WA with built in USB hub. and great i thought, i can manage the USB ports on my macbook a bit more effectively. But it seems when i pull the USB cable when i want to go portable, it gets a KP, at the moment i suspect it has something to do with the logitech wireless adaptor i have plugged into the monitor. it exhibits these issues when the monitor is turned off as well.
I have another USB hub, but i pretty much use it exclusively for my external hard drives (i don't really like to keep it plugged in all the time, if powered up for some reason the drives spin up in the middle of the night even when the macbook is sleeping) and it does nothing like this when the adaptor is plugged into that.
