[QUOTE="chscag, post: 1518387, member: 46727"] It appears to be a memory error. Since that looks like the original memory in the machine, try removing the modules one at a time and re-seating them. In other words, pull the modules and then push them back into their slots. If that doesn't cure the problem, download and run "[URL="http://osxdaily.com/2011/05/03/memtest-mac-ram-test/"]MemTest[/URL]" for the Mac. Something else you can try first before pulling the modules.... Boot the machine in Safe Boot mode to see if the same thing happens. Hold down your shift key as soon as you hear the boot chime. Safe mode removes all third party drivers and startup programs. It also disables the system sound and some networking. Let us know the result. [/QUOTE]
