[QUOTE="chscag, post: 1240256, member: 46727"] If the Apple Hardware Test passed OK, that means there is no obvious hardware error present at the time the test was done. However, with intermittent crashes and KPs, the actual defect may not show up. Kernel Panics are usually caused by a hardware error. Try the best you can to eliminate any external hardware that you have attached to the machine such as printers, fax, scanners, dongles, whatever. If possible, open up the machine and reseat the memory modules. Pull them out one by one and push them back in. Not much you can do with the hard drive for now but they will sometimes cause a KP if they're going bad. If you've recently installed any software, try removing it to see if that helps. Otherwise, hang on the best you can until you return to the states and can have the machine looked at by Apple. [/QUOTE]
