A couple of weeks ago I was running Parallels on my Macbook Pro. I had inserted a USB stick to get a file from it to windows. In doing so, the Macbook completely froze. I took the battery out and disconnected the power supply and waited for about a minute before booting it up again.
When I booted the Mac, it looked like it was starting up fine. However, it got to the point where it loaded my wallpaper, opened Finder and then froze for a few seconds. It appeared to try and restart again, got to the same point, froze and has been in a spin ever since.
I booted the Macbook Pro off the OS disc holding the D down to do the hardware test and it came back fine. I also reinstalled just the OS, but I'm still having problems. I ran the Mac if verbose mode too and I managed to get a crash log. I wasn't able to access it until last week as the Mac was in a spin. For some reason last week I put the Mac into sleep mode and the next day I was able to see the hard drive (though I'm not able to run anything as it seems to want the admin to login - which I am).
The error in the windowserver.crash.log refers to a invalid address on the kernel. Part of the error is below (the file is about 21MB in size, so I didn't want to put the whole thing in here.
