[QUOTE="chscag, post: 1525877, member: 46727"] The motherboard (logic board) can get loaded up with dust or dirt depending on where you use the machine. A very humid climate without air conditioning is definitely detrimental to the life of any computer. The humidity can cause corrosion and allow dust or dirt to stick to parts. As far as anything being loose on the logic board, that could be the memory slots themselves. If you boot your machine to safe mode and operate it that way for awhile, do you still get kernel panics? Also try this: Download the [URL="http://download.cnet.com/SMART-Utility/3000-2248_4-146625.html"]SMART utility for the Mac[/URL] and run it. Let's see what it says about the internal working of your hard drive. Disk Utility only checks the file and folder integrity but not the physical workings of the drive. [/QUOTE]
