To be clear - no logs (about the crash) anywhere that I could find, and just as disconcerting, no signs of problems in console before it died. Just 'reboot' and that's it.

There are plenty of other logs around - just nothing for the event I had yesterday, so obviously no troubleshooting possible.

Had a repeat of the same situation last night - totally locked up, started to heat up and run the fans, but it didn't reboot, I waited a few minutes and killed it myself via the power button, which was the only input device on the machine that responded at all.

Again, no logs, nothing in the console.

I'll enable rsh for this machine in case it happens yet again, at least that way I can see what process is stuck/running away.

Just had another "no logs" crash.

This time, I left for a couple of minutes, and it rebooted by itself.

While no logs were left, I could see diagnostic messages being uploaded, so the computer itself knew something was up, but I can (at this point) find no trace of what that was.

What exactly would that do?

Does it prevent unlogged crashes?

Does it get them to be logged?

What's the purpose?

Some times information in NVRAM can get corrupted, the reset clears NVRAM which can help with the kernel panics.

Had another one the other day.

Sadly, zapping PRAM didn't do anything to help the no-logs issue.

Interestingly, there are some other MBP owners complaining about reboots with no logs in the MBP forum.

Web site causing K.P.?

I was looking at some linked sites on Facebook, generally complaints about the government, and got a KP. Rebooted, hit restore Facebook, worked for a couple minutes, then KP. 3rd time around, did not restore Facebook links, and everything is fine. Any thoughts? Running 10.6.3.

Kp

If this is not a typo, at a minimum, you must get updated to 10.6.8, either by downloading this: https://support.apple.com/kb/DL1399?locale=en_US or by running "Software Update" from the Apple menu. All versions of 10.6.x are way out of date but 10.6.3 is especially so and is quite buggy.

I had done that update on a previous Mac, but was dismayed at how utterly porous it was to cookieso. Despite selecting 'never accept' (or whatever the choice was listed as), I was constantly loaded with cookies. I took this as a potentially sinister intrusion of privacy. Wonder if anyone else noticed that, or if Cookie management improved (got back to where it used to be), in newer iterations of OS X?
