Mac OS X quits when waking from sleep

[mattcollins79]

Hello

I own a 15" screen Macbook pro running Mac OS X version 10.4.11 with a 2.33GHz Intel Core 2 Duo. Memory - 2 GB 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM.

Recently when waking the computer from sleep, it makes the "waking from sleep noise", and the fan starts, but the screen stays black. This forces me shut it down. When it restarts, the error message is that the computer had to restart after Mac OS X quit unexpectedly.

I'm usually using Garageband, iTunes and Firefox before putting it to sleep.

I'd really appreciate your help, as i'm not sure where i've put the documentation I need for support from Apple!

Thank you

Matt

First try to reset the nvram letting the 'bong" happen two time before letting the buttons go. Also you can try to reset the SMU (System Management Controller), it might help.

After doing these two things let us know if either helps. Good Luck.
