[QUOTE="iWish, post: 522258, member: 17998"] Ahhh ... welcome to my world about once every single week (sometimes more, sometimes less) for the past year or so. I have a G4 Mini, however, and someone once suggested after ranting about this several months ago that my semi-transparent restart messages are likely due to a faulty RAM stick. Go figure about the Airport card theory - who knows for sure. In any case, this problem NEVER appeared until about 10.4.3, and I'm up to date with 10.4.10. Anyhow, I've reminded Apple every time I send the error report after restarting that this is a chronic problem, but to no avail. I'm as updated as can be but the problem never goes away with each new update. There is no rhyme or reason as to when or why my message appears, so I've grudgingly learned to live with it. However, this is the only real problem with my Mac. Unless I start getting the reboot message - the Mac version of the "blue screen of death" - every day or so, I'll be using my Mini for at least another 2 years before considering a 'Mactel'. Although no computer is perfect - not even a Mac - even this problem will never cause me to go back to the frustrating world of Windows that I left 2 1/2 years ago. [/QUOTE]
