No, it appears the Logic Board is OK. The lock ups of freezes could be due to a defective hard drive. Firmware updates will appear if needed by activating software update.
Just go ahead and restart the machine to see if it will boot normally and not freeze up. Let us know.
It was late night I did not see your post.
Got this morning here in UK and restarted-
It did boot ok but
did not hear the "start up Chime" as Apple logo appeared.
Also in the past I use to hear a faint spinning or to something to that effect (a very faint spin sound) and see a small rapidly blinking white light at the front lid joint as when the start button is pressed. This is not as obvious as it use to be by the way.
But once booted I am able to go to safari and sound works-if that make any difference to find what is going on.
I tried on the top left Apple logo and checked for update-There 1.2GB update available, agreed to down load, and on the screen where I have not set a password, selected ok
Down load began and into 278Mb a small window appeared "Apple download is tampered with and could not continue with the download.. will try later or to something to that effect."
(I did not install the disk 2 of my original Snow Leopard installation disks -worried if I will hit a screen lock-up, I am sure I made aware before.)
It is kernel panic message Now I realised because I found this and is what the message is :
This message may appear: "You need to restart your computer. Hold down the Power button for several seconds or press the Restart button."
OS X: About kernel panics
I found this on my Mac Book Air:

I have chosen to close the computer in the normal way-Top left where choose to shut down.
I notice my Mac Book Air Date is July 2009!!
If you see the above log it suggests July 2009!! I bought this computer on the 2nd Sept 2009 from Apple direct.
I did not try download again because when problem started the lock up came up halfway through my down load (To recap my earlier experience)
Should I still go a head and check for updates and select to download?
or
Is there any special update I need to install?
My non-computer knowledge mind wonders, if the downloads are in "small packets" may get installed without hitting a lock up screen?
Thank you again for your thoughts and help.
Regards
