Hi Ken, Do you mean you are receiving the grey screen with message “you need to restart your computer”, a Kernel Panic? Have you checked your "panic.log" in the folder /Library/Logs/ ? The panic log contains information about the state of the machine at the time of the panic. Might give us something more to go on.
