[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 1683301, member: 56379"] Many times kernel panics are related to hardware. And many times the "offending" hardware is either the GPU or the ram (but it can be other things). If this 17" MacBook Pro has hardware issues…then it doesn't matter what OS version it is running. The other thing about kernel panics is…they can be very random. A computer with these problems can run fine for hours one time…and only seconds another time. What I'm suggesting is (since ownership of this computer is very new to the person that has it now)…this computer may have had pre-existing issues…and it may not matter what OS version it is running. Hopefully the problem is the ram (since ram can be replaced). But if it's the GPU…then that can be a big problem. - Nick p.s. I never really trust the hardware test.
