try repair permissions. After every software update, and about every 2 weeks: close all apps and log totally off. Log on, go in Finder, Applications. Utilities, Disk Utility. After the message -getting disk information- select volume (below the hard drive name -upper left corner). Just highlight it. Now look to the lower two things are there near the middle, verify permissions, repair permissions. Click repair permissions

Thats a Kernal Panic
it doesnt happen that often but if it is try and remember what happens when it occurs
If it is a specific program I recommend deleting the preferences folder from that application as some of the preferences may be corrupted
