This is exactly the way it works. You pull the plug or lean on the power button to force a power off then power on. Everything will clean up with the forced checks (these are not visible). And you will wonder when this will happen again. It may be months. At one time I thought mine were caused by some kind of network activity but I have never confirmed it.
I had my first one yesterday. Dim screen, multilingual message etc.. It occured when I attempted a shut down while several apps were running. It occured during the Quicken app Quit. Nothing would restart or shut down. I tried hold start button down on both k'board and computer, command-option-esc, and control-command-start and nothing would work. Finally had to pull the power plug. Is this normal recovery process from a kernal panic?
I ran D Warrior and everything is operating normally now.
