[QUOTE="dtravis7, post: 836638, member: 8287"] That my friend is a Kernel Panic. A lot of KP's are caused by defective RAM or other hardware. Have you installed any after market RAM? Also do you have the OSX Install DVD that came with your Intel Mini? If so run the Apple Hardware Test and see if it finds any errors with the hardware. I am pretty sure on the Intel Mini to boot the AHT, startup with the OSX DVD in the drive and hold down the D key right after the startup sound and keep it down till the AHT screen comes up. I will double check to be sure that is the correct way to boot up the Apple Hardware Test and get back to you. Just curious? What are the basic specs on that Intel Mini? Edit: I was correct but read this URL as the AHT is on a different DVD depending on which you have. [url=http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1509]Intel-based Macs: Using Apple Hardware Test[/url] Do report back and let us know what the AHT shows. I would run the extended test. It takes a while but finds more issues. [/QUOTE]
