[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 1624313, member: 56379"] In my extensive experience…not true. If the hardware & software of a computer is working fine…using an external display will not increase the chance of kernel panics. Exactly! If you suspect a software problem…this is one of the first things that should have been tried…instead of "dealing" with things as you have since June. If you feel that the upgrade to Mavericks has something to do with the problem…then why didn't you downgrade long ago?? But I will suggest…99% chance...the Mavericks upgrade had absolutely nothing to do with things. Regarding all of the temp info that was posted. Yes those temps are high…probably the highest I've seen…and I'm surprised that the computer is not automatically shutting off. The VERY FIRST THING you want to do is…figure out if you have a software issue or a hardware issue. And the most straight forward way of determining this is…with a fresh OS install. With ABSOLUTELY no other apps installed. You don't need to do this with the MacBook Pro's internal drive…you can do it with an external drive. If the computer works fine AFTER testing with a fresh OS install…then you know you have a software issue. If the problems remain…then you most likely have a hardware issue. - Nick [/QUOTE]
