Has any one else had this since installing Tiger?
I can be doing anything on the computer when, for some reason, the screen dims (just like in Dashboard), and an official looking message appears on screen reading:
"You need to restart the computer. Hold down the Power button for several seconds or press the Restart button."
At the same time, I am unable to do anything else - either a mouse click, or obtain a screenshot by using a keyboard combination. The clock at the top of the screen also freezes.
The message is in four languages, and can appear at any time, no matter what I've been doing - browsing the Web, trying to configure widgets in Dashboard, or anything else.
This has happened several times now. I am avoiding using the Dashboard now, just in case it's a glitch connected with this, although it just happened a few minutes ago as I was surfing.
Does anyone know what is happening?
