Kernel panic, anyone?

[Adelante]

I'm going to post this to mac help forums, but I wondered if anyone here has experienced this and what the upshot was. The other day I started experiencing browser crashes again on various browsers (Safari, Firefox, Camino, etc.) and now this. I had the browser crash problem a few months ago but it seemed to have gone away when I upgraded to Tiger.

panic(cpu 0 caller 0x0021B90C): btree_journal_modify_block_end: about to write corrupt node!

Latest stack backtrace for cpu 0:

1. Sorry, WesDem. Way above my paygrade. But the discussion forums at

Apple.com are the best place for this question. Do a search first for 'Kernel Panic'. There are plenty of discussion on this subject.

Sorry I can't help further.

2. Thanks, sweetie

For the sympathy :pals: It helps, too.

3. in my experience

that means bad ram. if you can remove ram yourself, take out one card at a time, and see if that stops the panics. If taking one out stops it, that's probably the problem. But that's with my computer, so I would still advise talking with experts as well

4. Thanks for sharing your experience

I'm thinking of getting the repair guy back in if I can't figure it out by reading.
