One of the most popular is the free memtest, which is run from the Terminal command-line. In addition to Apple’s testing suite, there are plenty of third-party memory-testing utilities. If everything is OK, you’ll see a message that states all tests passed and no problems were found. If the hardware test finds any faulty memory, it will list the faulty memory addresses. Note that, if you have formatted your hard drive and reinstalled OS X, then the built-in hardware tests may have been wiped however, you can still load them from the Internet by holding the Option-D key combination (as opposed to just D) at startup when you hear the boot chimes. BUT I don't want to do these things (obviously) if my motherboard or processor is crapping out.On newer Macs, the tests run automatically when the utility is invoked it appears with a gray background instead of blue. I just replaced the hard drive back in March - I can't see why a brand new hard drive would go so quickly. I have a brand new battery and a new power adapter.
Kernel panic information for bad ram mac install#
I was thinking of upgrading to OSx10.5 (I don't have the 10.4 install disk - I got the PB used and on its last legs for a song about a year and a half ago and have been fixing it up) and upping the RAM to (2) 512Mb DDR card. The kernel panics are intermittent and I can't figure the problem out. I then restarted without any problems and it seems to be running. I re-started holding down command-S and ran the fsck -fy and received the following information:
After about 30 minutes of normal usage (which, for me, is multiple tabs open) I attempted to open another tab, it stalled in loaded, the gray box of doom appeared and I had to power down. I did the easiest (in my opinion) first and reinstalled Firefox.
Thanks for taking the time to read this, I know it's super 's just so frustrating!! (.and no worries, of course I've backed-up! D ) I shut it down, restarted, and it's running like nothing even happened.ĭoes anyone have any ideas on what's going on? Preventative maintenance I should be doing? How I can fix or resolve this? I couldn't move the arrow using the touch pad or cursor keys, it was just frozen. System Faliure: cpu=0 code=0000007 (corrupt skp lists) The last time I restarted I got a blue screen with the following message: The only time I get the kernel panics is when I'm using multiple tabs in Firefox - it will either spontaneously quit or freeze and I'll get the "gray box" telling me to restart my computer. I power down, sometimes it reboots without a problem and I can keep going, if it doesn't I reset the PRAM and it starts up and seems to run fine. The problem: over the last few weeks, I've been getting the intermittent kernel panic message. I've verified the disk permissions and nothing seems to be out of place. It's my first post, so I apologize if I'm in the wrong category.Īt the moment, it seems to be running fine. I tried searching the threads first, but I'm looking for something pretty specific, so I'll try to be as specific as possible.
