Title:

I'm experiencing random kernel panics

Text:

Macbook Pro 2010 15"

I had a go at upgrading my 2010 Macbook Pro 6,2 with 16GB (8GBx2 at 1066MHz) and Mavericks.

Methodology:

1 installed mavericks via usb and 8GB (4GBx2).

2 upgrade the ram to 16GB

Unfortunately I'm experiencing random kernel panics sometimes at boot other times a few minutes after log in.  quite unreliable...

Also getting some graphics artefacts with the Intel graphics but all looks better with the nvidia.

the good news is that we now are able to boot into osx Mavericks with the 16GB, before with Mountain Lion was not happening unless we boot with safe mode.

My question:

Are you experience any major issues. is your system running smoothly?

Device:

MacBook Pro
