All, From personal experience I have had an hardware issue on the Mac book Pro where I had to replace the mother board because the CPU of a kernel process was always going to over 100% and the fan was trying to cause the laptop to fly. So it is very important to check the processes as Nick

Hello Nic Obviously we cannot go into much detail regarding 10.8. But I've only ever seen a kernel panic once and on that occasion there was a hardware cause; one of our iPads had locked up and it was doing funny things to the USB interface. When we tried to boot the Mac it went absolutely
