[QUOTE="Raz0rEdge, post: 1683359, member: 110816"] Let's get a few basics of the machine to see what's going on. The panic trace says this machine has 8GB of memory. How much disk space is left on the device? Is there a particular application that was being used when this error happened? Can you launch Activity Monitor and look at the Memory tab and keep on the usage there and specifically the Swap Used field? The only interesting thing from the Kernel Panic trace is an indication that it was trying to page some memory (I'm not even going to attempt to explain that in layman's terms..:) ), so lets see if my probing questions provide a hint as to where to look.. Also, this laptop was purchased recently. What version of OS X was it running all this time and was that version stable? [/QUOTE]
