Hey, I've got no idea what's going on here... I got my new mini about 2 months ago, and this past week it's been crashing like two times a day or more. In the middle of whatever i'm doing it crashes and shows a power button on the screen and tells me I need to reset, when I reset I get this error message (and i get the same one every time.. Can anyone help me on this? I've taken it back to where I got it and they say nothing is wrong with it

Please help!!
 
Have you added any new hardware recently? ( ram, airport card, etc...)
A kernel panic is usually a result of a "bad" piece of hardware or hardware that isn't inserted properly.

Click to expand...

Nope, I havent added anything to the machine, I'm using it as is.. The only things I have hooked up to it are my USB Hub (One that mounts right under my mini) an external drive, external dvd writer, and my keyboard and mouse.. I've disconnected the Hard drive, dvd writer, and the hub and it still crashes, and also i've tried two differant mice and it still crashes.. i'm so lost and i dont know what to do...
 
so I did some more research on this problem, and it turns out that the AirPort drivers/firmware whatever and azureus do not agree with eachother, so i switched from azureus to transmission and everything seems to be cool so far, its still something apple needs to fix, and i hope it gets fixed for 10.5.2 ;)

thanks again for your help!
