[QUOTE="chscag, post: 1408647, member: 46727"] What you're experiencing is known as a "kernel panic" which is similar to the old blue screen of death that Windows is famous for. Since you were able to startup in safe mode, that tells us that it may be software related. The first thing I would do is get rid of your AV software as it is not needed. There are no Mac viruses in the wild that can infect your machine, only some trojans and malware which can easily be avoided by staying away from torrents and porn sites. Next, remove all your login items while in safe mode: System Preferences, Accounts, Login Items. Open the lock, select each item, press the small minus button at the bottom and then close the lock. Reboot into normal mode and see if that has helped. [/QUOTE]
