Getting kernel panic on OS X Yosemite

Post by amad.m.s »

Hello,

My MacBook Pro (15 inch mid 2012) keep charshing, it always occurs after waking up from sleep mode.
I've read some of kernel panic logs which was generated after reboot caused by these crashes. The only conclusion I could come up with is that it has something to do with Virtualbox. Every kernel panic report includes unloading library/driver from Virtualbox, please see attachments.

The last crash I had Virtualbox wasn't started but the kernel panic report includes entry about unloading library/driver related to Virtualbox.

Based on the kernel panic reports (attachments) is these crashes caused by Virtualbox?

From what I see on the newest log, it's something else. The Virtualbox entries appear to be drivers that are loaded but so are 100 other drivers.
You have a lot of apps running at once--Adobe Indesign, Photoshop, Amazon Music, etc.

I think it may have had something to do with a memory leak in Indesign with running two instances of Indesign. It says your fan speed was over 3000 RPM and all four cores are at 99%. Your system seems taxed with heat. Perhaps struggling with memory too.

With waking up and running that hot seems funny. Maybe it's not actually asleep. Do you have your sleep settings turned off? Sometimes I do If I don't want the MBA to sleep during a presentation, though the screen can still turn off.

@brycesteiner…
Can you point out in the last log or any of the three where which apps are running or what the fan speed is or what the cores are doing? I sure don't see any of that info. Nor should it be in a panic report.

I got it from here:

hopefully the screen shot is there. I saw that when I opened up the file attached in the original post.

I'm looking at it now and maybe that is my system? I haven't had a kernel panic though as far as I can remember.

Hopefully I didn't cause too much confusion. Either way, I don't think it's VB causing it from the looks of it.

No screenshot. FWIW, before you try to help a user, it would be useful if you knew whether you were looking at your own logs or a user's log. That would prevent confusion.. Also, there is nothing the OP attachments that would indicate the info you posted.

Hello again,

It looks like the kernel panic reports isn't sufficient to conclude if VB is the source of these crashes. Is there any other logs I can submit that can help with excluding or including VB as source of these crashes?

What I also tried before posting the issue here is to reinstall both OS and VB.

Thanks for any help.

If you uninstall VirtualBox using the uninstall tool, reboot your Mac and still experience kernel panics it seems obvious they have nothing to do with VirtualBo.
