[QUOTE="robduckyworth, post: 1190358, member: 184879"] sounds like you had a kernel panic, which means something hardware related has gone wrong on your computer. [url=http://www.thexlab.com/faqs/kernelpanics.html]Resolving Kernel Panics[/url] this site has alot of useful info on kernel panics. if you are comfortable opening up a computer, you can unplug each of the ram sticks one at a time, and see if its due to a a bad stick. The worst case scenario is that your hard drive has died, in which case, i hope you backed up. do you hear any clicking, or any sounds when booting your computer, listening to the right of the trackpad? however we need to try and boot to the DVD. try holding just option at startup with the OS disc inside. you should be able to select the disc this way to boot. EDIT: if your computer is still under warranty, get apple to deal with it. [/QUOTE]
