[QUOTE="bobtomay, post: 1525314, member: 24160"] The first shot - the black box on the MBP screen in multiple languages telling you to restart the computer is a kernel panic. While this can be caused by hardware, it is most often software or 3rd party hardware (&/or it's drivers) attached to the machine. As Nick suggests - Detach all 3rd party hardware Run software updates until it reports your machine is up to date as Raz0r noted You can open 'Console' and take a look at / post the crash log here. If it is a specific app/hardware causing the problem, it will sometimes give us a clue what is crashing. [/QUOTE]
