Involuntary Reboot Log 2.7Edit

Created 6/26/2010, updated 5/18/2017

The dreaded "Saf BB FQ KP"* strikes again.

Safari locks up after reloading a page with an embedded video on it that stopped mid-playback. I open Activity Monitor and sample the non-responsive process to confirm my suspicion that it is, as always, a plug-in which is responsible.

Confirmed the suspicion, I proceed to force quit the beach balling process, and to my surprise, the machine immediately kernel panics.

The average time between failures drops again with the incident, and this machine looks set to be by far the least reliable I have ever owned. On the bright side, at least there haven't been any failed hardware components yet, unlike my last iMac which was absolutely plagued by them, but I guess it is only a matter of time.

Statistics so far

  • Kernel panics: 2
  • Hard resets: 5
  • Total failures: 7
  • Start of recording keeping: 17 March 2010
