Hi there...
I've started experiencing strange conditions as follows:
1) The fan runs with big noise.
2) Message comes out, asking to restart
3) Restarted a few times but the same happened
--------
Did some searches and found it could be kernel panic? Re-boot by pressing 'shift' key while restarting. It worked. Went back a normal start (no safe mode), operation fine. Left the computer on without touching for, let's say about 10 minutes. The same message 'restart required' showed up (gray background). Ran Onyx, cleaned all mess. It seemed OK. I talked to a friend, who runs Linux. He told me there could be something wrong with Firefox. It may be true because I left my iMac on while Firefox was opened. I recently installed from this friend (thumb drive), emulator to play old Arcade games. He told me that emulator has nothing to do nor is harm to the system. I am leaning to believe about the potential problem with Firefox, if I am correct. In fact, after the restart and opened Firefox, I got this message came up, instead of a full browser page (see attached).
Can someone help me out? I may be in a big trouble now.
