My macbook pro early 2011 10.9.4 has been freezing and restarting itself [usually when i use firefox]. I checked disk utility and it says my HD is failing the S.M.A.R.T test and will die soon. I'd like to know if replacing the HD will solve all my kernel problems [listed below] or if i should change something else in my mac along with the HD.

Issues kernel panic causes:

-mac freezes nearly every [sometimes around 21:00pm]
-recently restarts itself and shows the grey screen saying i need to restart in multiple languages.
-can't boot up normally, mac doesn't go past log in page
-can't perform hardware test for some reason, just goes to the log in page


here is the log from console:

Yes indeed it can as most kp's are hardware related.

Boot into Recovery, go to Utilities and run Repair Disk and advise what is reported.

sounds like the same issue i had...

it sounds like his macbook has a half flashed firmware on the hard drive which means you have to replace the hard drive no matter what the drive will just keep getting worse i have had this happen on mac mini's with toshiba hard drives and macbook pros with toshiba hard drives
