The guy i bought it from said this Mac was tested by apple and no hardware faults were diagnosed. I am afraid RAM might be faulty and since it is nor replaceable it will be costly to replace.

I run tech tool pro just after fresh install of OS and as far I remember it passed test but now when I run RAM test it fails on Stuck Address test every time. I installed tech tool pro to diagnose it but can only perform diagnostic when in safe mode, in normal mode mac resets very often. I tried to run in safe mode and it runs stable, no resets, no problems. It does not look like normal reboot, it is much quicker than normal. White screen shows "your computer will restart etc" and quickly reboot. Previously used Disk Utility and some software to create USB and was not able to install OS.

I was able to install fresh copy of Mavericks by creating USB bootable Mac OS from terminal's command line. Hi I can see many of us read my thread but nobody replied.

Also wanted to try do install windows as a main os just to try it, but I really want Mac OS.Ĭan someone help me please or has anyone got any idea how to fix it please. I will be trying to use my iMac to install any OS to USB drive and run it from USB drive to create back up that will take less than 50GB hopefully.

I run disk utility in recovery mode and repair disk but it shows no errors at all. I tried to download new system from internet to external USB drive instead of Macbook Air's ssd to exclude ssd malfunction but It won't download it as before. I have an iMac so I did a system back up of about 50GB to transfer it to Macbook Air but when I tried it says my 128GB disk is not big enough. Then I found out that MbAIr uses different OS so I downloaded Slow Leopard for Macbook Air but installation fails as well. Then I tried to create bootable USBs with Mountain Lion and Mavericks but every installation fails. Bit difficult to access purchase page without OS! Sometimes displays OS X Mavericks failed to download. I didn't do any back up so the only option is to download new OS but it tried to download it many times, each time it stops, reboots and goes back to recovery mode. I can erase and partition ssd but thats about it. There is no recovery drive but I can access it from USB drive created by Apple Recovery Drive Assistant. I had few macs before but never seen anything like it. It worked fine when I first powered it on but I decided to wipe the drive and install fresh copy of Mac OS because I didn't want to have preinstalled apps by the previous owner. I had since taken the computer to Apple, they managed to update the machine to OS X 10.9.1. Someone mentioned about a ‘Kernel Panic’ I had received these on occasion but not a regular thing, something i was told would be sorted with the OS update. I took it into apple not long ago and it says it passed their tests, on all hardware aspects. I since took this to Apple and they managed to update all my software and upgrade the OS to 10.9.1. There is one issue with the machine, it has a funny 5 mins when installing things, also when i tried to update the operating system. I purchased Macbook Air 11 inch 2011 just few days ago.
