[QUOTE="bricsa, post: 870284, member: 109111"] I upgraded to Leopard a few months ago. About a month ago, I started getting the BSOD. I can't remember if I was getting this before or after I tried to eradicate a pre-10.5 edition of Dave, which had been resulting in a prompt with every boot up. The BSOD seems to be related to the computer being idle for a few minutes. Recently, I put "Sleep" in two corners, and I utilize then anything it looks like I'll be idle. I've also lowered my auto-save times. This theory held until today, when after a day's use, a new user came to the screen to get the BSOD. Shut off. Switch on. This time, before log in, the error message like a DOS screen install in white text, black background over the regular screen, but only where there's text or space between text. Shut off. Switch on. Back to normal, for now. The error message seemed to be about the kernel, thus causing me to wonder if perhaps I removed something I shouldn't, yet I can't locate either a list or something that might update the files without having to do a complete reinstall. Any ideas??? [/QUOTE]
