[QUOTE="Randy B. Singer, post: 1611088, member: 190607"] While you are in Safe mode your Mac will be running with all of its kernel extensions turned off. Things might be out of place, and look funny in Safe mode. That's okay. Things will go back to normal on your next normal restart. *Don't change anything while in Safe mode*! You are only in Safe mode to see if kernel panics still occur. You can launch and quit applications, but they may not work perfectly. That's fine. Just don't do any work or change any of your work product (i.e. files). If you don't change anything while in Safe mode, nothing will be harmed. You are in Safe mode for the sole purpose of seeing if things get better when your kernel extensions are disabled. If you still get kernel panics while is Safe mode, then the problem isn't being caused by a bad kernel extension (i.e. it is likely a hardware problem). If you don't still get kernel panics while in Safe mode, then your problem is likely (but not assuredly) with one of your kernel extensions (i.e. software). If booting into Safe mode is too scary, don't do it. Just take your Mac to an Apple store and have them diagnose it. [/QUOTE]
