[QUOTE="MacHeadCase, post: 551698"] By the description you give, what you experienced was a [URL="http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106227"][B]kernel panic[/B][/URL]. You might try an Erase and Install after backing up your files on an external hard drive. See where this takes you. I would also run Apple's Hardware Test (Extended Test) if ever things started to go creepy again. I think there is too much of a mess in there to start some troubleshooting: I mean if OnyX can't run there is something fundamentally wrong with your Mac, either the System or some hardware component. The only thing I could suggest at this point is, if you have Alsoft's DiskWarrior, now's the time to run it. But if you don't, a reinstall might be the only thing to do at this point. [/QUOTE]
