This is a Kernel Panic. This only happens in Kentucky where the machine knows about KFC. It is upset about all those killed chickens. A Kernel Panic is generally a hardware issue. If you have not added any hardware in the past but have continued to do software updates, you may find that this is caused by non-compliant USB hubs. I would check and remove all plugged in devices except the keyboard and mouse and force it to sleep. Then recheck it. You might also check the amount of free space left on the disk. It may be an application you are using is filling up your disk with temp files. Schoun -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
