I recently replaced my Hard Drive as it was failing and now I'm having Kernel panics, what ever that means??? Not sure if it has anything to do with Photoshop but Photoshop is running extra slow. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you
MacBook Pro
Please post a few of the most recent Panic reports.
Look for the Kernel Panic reports at:
Finder -> Go -> Go to Folder -> /Library/Logs/DiagnosticReports
<http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2546>
<http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT200553>
The panic report should have ".panic" in the file name.
You can use the "Additional Text" box when you Reply
Signal 11 is a SIGSEGV (Seg Fault; aka the code attempted to access memory outside its assigned range, or it tried to write to a readonly segment of memory, or it tried to execute code in a segment of memory not marked executable).
Launchd DOES NOT seg fault. It it the first process started under macOS (PID 1) during boot.
I would suspect either a hardware issue (bad RAM), failing motherboard, failing harddisk (or SSD), or that the launchd executable became corrupt.
Since you replaced you hard disk, I would suspect that either when you copied your operating system over to the replacement disk, you got corrupted data, or that maybe your SATA cable is broken (from unplugging, plugging in disks), or you just have a broken replacement.
You could start by re-installing the operating system (make a backup (or 2) before doing an operating install).
does this help?...
Diagnostics Information (past 7 days):

t status 0 )
Thank you. Does that help?
You have a very old machine and the hardware could be failing.
Post the kernel panic report so we can examine it in more detail.
i did post the etre check / report, does that help? If not how do I get the information you ask for?
Have you tried installing the original (correct spec) RAM? Doing so may provide a much more stable machine.
You might try uninstalling the wacom tablet software. That has caused kernel panics for some people. Also check to make sure you have the most up to date version of the software.
Thank you, I will try that.
You are welcome. Also post the panic reports as BobHarris suggested.
That's not the complete report.
that's all there was. only 1 file that ended in .panic and that's everything that was in it. sorry
Did you try uninstalling the tablet software? Have you tried restarting the computer? Tried quitting Photoshop?
Thank you, that worked!
How can I fix the Kernel panics?
