All,

I receive a kernel panic every few days. Typically the "panic" occurs when I am ot using the machine. After the "panic" started I disabled the screen saver and turned sleep mode off (computer and monitor always run). The panics continue. Below is the log. Any ideas are appreciated:

We're going to need more information on your hardware and operating system version.

Also, what did you do before this all started happening? Was it something you installed? Did you delete something?

Let us know...
 
mac mini G4 - 1.42 Ghz, 512 Mb RAM. The kernal panic started a couple of months ago. I cannot isolate the "panic" to an install of a new application. Basically I have just updated my system with updates from Apple (security, iLife updates, etc..) I ran a memory check using memcheck and reset all permissions with the disk utility. In adddition, I verified the hard drive using disk utility.

The only constant is that I am not using the computer when the "panic" occurs.

Thanks
 
You need to consider what your Mac might be doing while you are not using it. You've disabled sleep and screen saver (which would have been my first suggestion - well done). Is it checking for email every twenty minutes or carrying out some other schedule? Maybe it's indexing for Spotlight - can that be turned off?
