[QUOTE="LenoCo, post: 1525865, member: 306080"] The second time I took this computer into the shop they re-sat the RAM and even tried another RAM entirely but the issue still persisted. I'm not sure if they cleaned the memory slots, I'll call and find out. They told me that it appeared as if the kernel panics weren't being caused by the RAM this time...hence why they suggested something potentially being loose on the motherboard. I've heard some stories about the motherboard being dirty which may cause issues, does this seem like a plausible cause? The first time I took it in it was evident that the kernel panics were being caused by the RAM because it had the three beeps upon startup after a kernel panic. After the RAM was re-sat the first time the kernel panics were temporarily relieved for about a month or so and then they started happening again without the three beeps upon startup...startup was either normal or delayed until the panic where all startups were delayed. Thank you again for all your help! [/QUOTE]
