This is a first for me??? When I booted up my computer this morning the whole screen turned a dark grey with a view of my desktop in the back ground and a white window with black letters (everything went black and white) came up asking me to restart the computer holding down the start button for a few seconds??? Does anyone out there know what this means??? I've been planning on doing a clean and reinstall soon because I bought this computer used a yr ago and it still has the orig owner as the admin, I just got a new Tiger install disc to do it... Thanks!!!
It's called a Kernel Panic. Look on console to see what caused it, usually its drivers for me, or plugging in corrupt USB drives...
