Hi,
I've got a Mac mini (couple of years old now) and it continually crashes. Usually several times a day and ususally when I'm not using it. This is the crash log I got from the console last time it crashed. Any ideas
Code:

Are you running an application or process called "iPlayer Desk"? That's where the BSD (crash) is taking place.

I thought I'd uninstalled it. I just moved the Application from the Applications folder to the trash. Where would I find if there is a service running or anything.
Not that up to speed on Mac OS X, more a windows man I'm afraid.

Right, it's just crashed again but this time I've found this in Console -> Diagnostics and Usage messages:

Does this mean anything to anyone? Are there any other places I could look for a more meaningful log of why the computer is crashing.

Thanks in advance for any help

Open your Activity Monitor and keep it up while the machine is running. You should be able to see the process that's still on going. Obviously, you didn't successfully remove all of it. If it came with an uninstaller, use that. Some apps can not be uninstalled by dragging them to the Trash.

Applications -> Utilities -> Activity Monitor.app

I think I've solved the problem. I opened her up and took out one of the memory dimms. Doesn't seem to have crashed since (although plenty of time yet). The reason for jumping to this seemingly drastic action was last time it crashed I got 3 beeps which apparently means a memory problem. I've ordered some more memory (8Gb for £35....how good is that?!?).
Will let you know if it comes back but fingers crossed it's just the memory and nothing else
Thanks for your help
PS Getting to the memory on a Mac Mini is a *****!!

Make sure your memory is coming from a reputable Mac dealer. Windows PC memory will usually cause problems as it is high density and Macs are fussy and use low density modules.
