to apple gurus,

i dont know what is the problem, i've been using mac all this years but when recently i bought macbook black, it has been restarting randomly which pretty annoying. how could i avoid this? i was preparing for an exhibition slides on keynote .. now i have to re-do the whole thing again. i went to library/logs i could not find any panics.log for karnel pannics

please.. i only want to hear the possibilities this could happen from an expirienced mac user. pls dont spam. thx




p/s: could this be due to my ram upgrade to kingstron v ram? but someone from other forum does not seems to have such problem even on heavy task.
any idea anyone?

kwekeugene,
thx. i read abt the same but strange many ppl claimed not an issue to them. perhaps v ram they just do random checks rather then 'select' ram which they test each n everyone of it.

man .. i hope leopard wont cause this problem for kingston v ram. else time to put up this ram for sales or use to for mac mini (need to get one then)

lokgotz,
thx for the link
i dont require this update n no way i could install it

babyk,
thx for ur input
but could u at leat let us know where can we get such ram n how much does it cost?


timber,
i dont have any problem. indeed my mac does not require any f/ware upgrade when i purchase it. it's already updated. only mostly on security and os update. it's just abt a month old. anyway, there was no problem booting up. i just have problem when i do my keynote n few days ago when iwas watching movie on VLC, it restart twice. i hope it's not logic board problem. damn i hate long delay for service

babyk,
thx

pukarix,
pls update us here ok
i need ur info
thx

pukarix,
u r not the lab rat, u r just sharing ur exp

btw, i think they should accept

cutekid,
which batch was it? and it's core 2 duo or core duo version? how long does it takes for them to actually change the board? and i have bad xpirience with apple technician in m'sia especially the shop at midvallet machines. a simple thing that i asked abt upgrading ram and hdd, the tech said it will void warranty and no way i cld do it manually, i said it's even stated in apple website, n he goes bashing abt it. that is the simple example. mayb i should give it to mac asia instead.

btw, this happen drasticly when i was using keynote and on extended display 24".

pukarix,
chill bro, did not mean to make u worried. well i also use the same test method couple of time on kingstron ram, no problem watsoever.
btw i am back with the original ram. strange feels this original is much faster and no crashes. tested over nite. just b4 i change it last nite, while i was doing my work at my gf's hse, i put it on standby.. 3 x each time i open back, it reboot to login page instantly.

pukarix,
so far i'm back with the original ram. have not shut down my notebook from home since morning n it works wonderfully.
anyway, perhaps this 'cheap' ram works on windows.

cld u provide the ram number that u bought the other day? appreciate if you can share. thx

do up date us alrite. looks like my transaction was failed for crucial ram. stupid tmnUt under their blocked list or perhaps my ip. got to ask tmnUt to varify it.
