That's part of the standard kernel panic message - it doesn't say much about what caused the panic.
Have a look in the panic log - it's probably something like /var/log/panic.log, but honestly it's been so long since I've had a kernel panic that I don't recall. List the contents of /var/log, or grep the files in that directory for 'backtrace terminated'.
A bit of googling found this link:

The consensus in the above was - bad RAM. If you have any third-party RAM in your machine, you might want to try removing it for a while to see if that fixes the problem. If it doesn't, take your Mac in for repair - kernel panics are nearly always the result of a hardware failure of some sort.
