[QUOTE="chscag, post: 1230254, member: 46727"] The kernel panic is occurring here: BSD process name corresponding to current thread: [B]WindowServer[/B] This is a tough one to track down because it could be related to bad hardware or software. But since you removed all non Apple provided applications and reinstalled OS X according to Apple's instructions, I'm inclined to think it may be bad hardware. I suggest first running the Apple Hardware Test: [URL="http://www.thexlab.com/faqs/aht.html"]LINK[/URL] (Run the extended tests.) It may show us something and then again, it may show that everything's OK. It will point out if memory is bad. You say you swapped out the memory so I doubt that's it. If the tests come up with nothing definitive, make an appointment with your local genius bar at the Apple store and take it on in for them to run diagnostics on. [/QUOTE]
