[QUOTE="MacDulles, post: 1611067, member: 334921"] 1. Are you sure the computer is experiencing kernal panics? Some folks that haven't experienced them before…sometimes call something a kernel panic…when it may be something else. Well, previous to my online researching the phenomena that I was forced to experience , I had no idea that the experience of what I've come to call OSX's *gray screen of death* ( like the scene in *Bladerunner* when Dr. Eldon Tyrrell obliged Dekkard's request for dimming the lights for Rachel's Voight-Kompt test and a huge screen of gray shade descends which darkens the entire room from the L.A. sunset ) had never happened to me before. My description is what led me to the many article links to Kernal Panic. So, Yes, I'm pretty convinced by other's remarks that my iMac has, indeed , been experiencing *panic attacks*. Yours is a legitimate question. Just responding with a "Yes, I've done my homework on this." Any other descriptive *link-supported* diagnosis would be welcome. 2. Did you do anything to the computer recently. Installed new software apps…or installed new hardware (such as ram)? Nothing of the kind. Last traumatic operation was an OSX dumbing down from OSX 10.7 back to OSX10.6.8 way back about a year ago because Wacom , in its infinite wisdom , no longer has driver support for its Intuos tablets beyond OSX 10.6.8 and I just can't afford to drop $700 in order to upgrade to a 12"X 18" Intuos 3 . *no* problems since that OSX *Brain Salad Surgery* and I continued my free-hand digital calligraphy & painting without so much as a hiccup. The only differential source factor that I can think off is *Firefox* which would crap-out on me if I would allow too many windows with too many tabs to be saved & thus to reach some tipping point built-up in the dock would would crash *Firefox* forcing a restore option. The gray screen of death only just started happening to me within the past 30 days and I guess the shock to my system triggered a level of denial before they started to get far too regular( 4X this week alone ) sort of like the build of that one symptom too many that forces one to confront having to finally suck it up and go to the doctor. So, what's up MacDoc? [/QUOTE]
