Hi guys, I'm writing this thread and I could have to restart at any time. The problem is this iBook KPs every day, 10 times a day, at least ( 5 hours of use ).. Before sending it to the repair store, what can I do? I tried to run the HD utilities, including Harware Test and it didn't work. I think I should open it and see if something is not connected.
help!

Did you add additional RAM? this may be the culprit. Try to remove it.

one guess: is it always after you wake the iBook from sleep?
My wife's iBook had many a kernel panic after waking - a quick thread search revealed that trashing your energy saver preferences and/or just changing your energy preference setting to "never sleep." - This fixed the problem.

Well yeah that's just ONE of the many problems. Sometimes it wakes up - sometimes it doesn't - as random as it may sound...
But then there are these complete lock ups
Sometimes the KP screen shows up - sometimes the UI just freezes like that with no KP screen.. just randomly.. it even froze during startup, once. I can't really work anymore, nor type long text w/o crashing.. totally absurd.
I'm just going to send it to the repair store, I guess.. and wait a long time before getting it back and spend a lot of the money I earned... wow..
Guys, I just can't imagine an newbie mac user 's ibook acting like mine, it would be such a bad mac experience. **** off. sometime I just hate computers. god. **** computers I hate computers.

If you haven't done this already, do a clean install of OSX to completely rule out the possibility of software problems.
