Random Restarts during day

[rmmcwh]

Does anyone else have this issue?

At random times, usually when I am not using the machine, the machine reboots. Console log may have a Mailplane or a Firefox or no error at all before it lists the startup logging (see image). I am not sure where to look ( I have just gotten finished opening up, cleaning out and re-seating everything in my build). Help, please.

Also, ever since updating to 10.7.3 it has started doing this more (or at least I have noticed it more).

Help! Random restarts still occurring! Logs do not show (at least that I can tell) what is causing it, nor have I ever caught it right at the point of the restart happening. Here is the latest log:

Anybody have an idea?

Is your system set to restart after a freeze? (I think it's in the system preferences/energy saver panel)? Maybe it's restarting after a crash... (not sure why it's crashing though...)

Try these:
Do a Disk Repair, repair permissions.

Do a RAM memtest. One stick at a time.
* i'm assuming all your RAM is the same brand/type and not mismatched

Try disabling your onboard NIC, and see if you're still having the random restarts/KPs.

or maybe you just have a bad install of 10.7.3. Re-install again.

I have done all that. The thing is that there is no log entries at the time of the crash. It has a random error from several different programs, and then the reboot time message.

Note: I have stopped using HardwareMonitor (one of the last errors I got before a reboot) and it seems to have stopped the random reboots (so far). So it seems I cannot use this program. Have started to use TemperatureMonitor (the free version).

Well still random restarts. Have started to look at possible error messages in console and try and figure those out (like removing plugins from Firefox) that throw those errors. Still not entirely sure what is doing this, since no specific log entries.

I do have sleep set for 1 hour, wondering if that is it. Although random restarts are random, within 10 minutes and after an hour.

Have had some more restarts. It is after a crash. Most times I am using Firefox (happened on 12 and same on 13) and the gray box appears asking to restart - so KPs are happening. If I check the log, no report of a KP but errors dealing with Mailplane, Firefox - usually about WebKit. Still no idea other than seeing what errors, google them, then try and fix or remove the offending program. Grrrr!

errors dealing with Mailplane, Firefox

I'm just telling you I had random KPs before I ditched my Realtek NIC and got something else.

Good luck on your problem.

I have the Realtek81xx installed using the approved installer. I think I have been getting these KPs and restarts since 10.7.2 (not sure, but it seems to happen more).

Is there a better software option, and how can I tell if it is this that is causing my issues? My logs do not give a reason for the Kps or restarts - sometimes errors before, or no errors right before the restart.

I am in the process of turning off/on certain processes, plugins in firefox, etc to try and stop the KPs. I have just turned of prl_disp_service (for parallels 7), no restarts yet.

I think I have narrowed it down to the network connection. Only seems to freeze or KP randomly when using Firefox (today it was trying to watch a Vimeo video - completely froze my machine, had to press power button) or Mailplane, or even had one watching a video in Vlc.

So, any ideas, other than buying a network card (I have a few older PCI ethernet cards laying around) to fix this? I have the most updated driver from Multibeast. And it has seemed to happen more frequently since I updated to 10.7.3!
