macrumors newbie
Original poster
I've been having this problem recently where I'll be using my laptop (or even if it's idle) and then suddenly it goes to a blue screen and then restarts. What's odd is that the restart happens fairly quickly (much quicker than if I were to actually choose "Restart" from the Apple menu) and then goes back to my desktop wallpaper. It seems like this has only been happening since I recently updated Mac OS X (I have 10.6.8), and also may only be happening when Google Chrome is open. I heard this might be a Windows Server problem, so here are my logs from that

It's of no help to you but I too have been experiencing the same issue on my mid 2010 MBP running snow leopard and running a 30" external monitor. I have also been getting freezes whereby I can still move the mouse around but nothing happens on the screen. All getting a little frustrating and I think a trip to the apple store is required.
