[QUOTE="chscag, post: 1659132, member: 46727"] I can tell you it's going to be hard to pin this one down if it's only happened several times over the past few months. Kernel panics are generally caused by a hardware fault but I see nothing in the KP report that would lead me to believe that some hardware is misbehaving. You're running a nvidia GPU in your MacBook Pro which have been troublesome in some models. Whether that's the cause or not, it's hard to say. Kernel panics can also be caused by certain software and how it interacts with other software. NAV is something I personally would not run on any of my Macs. Windows machines yes, Macs no. Running Norton is a personal choice but since there are no active viruses in the wild which can infect your Mac, you might want to think about that. There is malware, but Norton is not going to spot that anyway. [/QUOTE]
