I have no idea what's going on here. I've had a D620 (nVidia) running 10.7.3 cleanly for several months using this great guide (actually 3-boot with 10.7.3, Windows 7x64, and Commodore OS Vision).
In the last few days I have suddenly started getting random KP and system shutdowns. In general, I've powered down and then will reboot just fine (sometimes it takes a couple of boot cycles). This KP seems to happen most often with video streaming.
TODAY I have gotten another KP with the "Serious System error...hold power button....etc" error, only it won't come back up normally. starting with -v shows the video driver and the audio driver in the backtrace. I CAN start up using safe-mode (-x) and my other OS are just fine.
How might I fix this...and why did it start so suddenly? I did have a failed 10.7.4 upgrade a month or so ago but I rolled back using a TM backup...and this has JUST started in the last few days....so I don't think it's related. I used the EDP update tool (and re-ran configurations taking defaults for my system) yesterday to try to resolve the shutdown issue. I've also got my laptop sitting on a cooling pad keeping everything nice and chill - so I don't think it's overheating.
I'm stumped.
TIA,
Joe
