"You must restart your computer"

[eric2006]

I was using Safari, and a few other apps, nothing unusual (or processor intensive), when my Powermac's screen suddenly dimmed to a see-through grey with a little black box in the middle telling me that I needed to restart my computer, written out in seven different languages. It actually looked quite cool, except for the fact that my Powermac had crashed. I haven't seen this much anywhere else, and when I did, I didn't take much notice. Should I be concerned? I didn't loose much work.. this time, but is this a one-time kinda thing? This is the error report:

[Lt Major Burns]

Welcome to your first Kernel Panic, where something Hardware goes tits up and the system locks itself immediately to stop it causing harm to itself. this is ok.

it's a GSOD.

it's nothing to worry about, really, unless it starts recurring, at which point, start questioning any recent hardware changes (RAM being a culprit), or something failing (logic board etc).

good luck.

This can also be associated with newly install software as well. Keep track of what was installed and when. Include in that list widgets and any web addons to you browser. Any 'precanned' network tunning etc.
