I was software updating my brothers computer and I shut it down because he was going to bed and I turned it back on. It asked me to restart the computer and I did and a black shade saying to restart it came up again... What should I do? I have shut it off and on a zillion times and still the black shade with weird text in the background is still happening. This happened around half an hour ago? Shall I just wait until morning!? I am frekaing out
Got a tip for us?

Sounds like a kernal panic, happened to me when my graphics card drivers (gtx 285), weren't supported in 10.5.8, what did you/he change?
I have a similar problem
I have a 2009 MacBook running 10.5.8. Yesterday I upgraded to Snow Leopard using an external hard drive with a disc image of Snow Leopard on it. Now whenever I try to start up my Mac a grey screen slides down fom the top of the screen saying in a few languages that I have to restart. When I restart, the same thing happens. I tried booting from the installation drive and repairing my hard drive with disk utility. it said the repair was successful, but the same thing still happens
Thanks for your time and any help would be greatly appreciated.
