For a couple of years now I have had two Apple laptops which present with the dreaded Kernel Panic. Kernel Panics show a black rectangle with instructions for restarting.
There are a few reasons for Kernel Panics and most of them would be a problem with the main board. I have never replaced a main board but have tried all sorts of key stroke startups which have given temporary results. One of the laptops is a MacBook Pro and I took a punt and bought a new hard drive and inserted it. It worked well for a couple of hours but KP came back again, so I pulled the new hard drive out and put the MB Pro in a spare parts cupboard.
The other laptop was telling me that only one RAM slot was working, so I removed the RAM (memory sticks) and tried one at a time in the good slot. Voila; success. That machine has been running well for a couple of weeks now so it is ready to go to a good home.
