Thanks, this helps a lot.

I would have tried to help you troubleshoot it, but it would make it a very slow backwards and forwards process.
As you can see, there can be various causes for Kernel panics, and prob easier if you have all the info at hand to troubleshoot at your pace.
I've never had a kernel panic myself, so never had to troubleshoot through it personally, but I think the first step is repairing permissions and performing a hardware test.
If you just installed new Ram, as noted in the articles, that would most likely be the culprit.
If it were me, after that, I'd restore my system from the most recent backup that I had from before this started happening.
If you can get a log and post it, perhaps one of the Gurus here can decipher it and lead you in the right direction if I haven't.
Good luck with it, and I hope that you get it resolved ASAP.

Yeah, dont worry about it, i just wanted to know if it was just a mandatory restart, if it doesn't happen again then i wont worry about it. You have helped a bunch, thanks.
