Computer crashed

[Bizzaro]

I was using Firefox like I always do with way too many tabs open when everything just froze. No beach ball, just frozen. Then a message came up saying I had to restart. After restarting an error report came up:

This has never happened before. Can someone tell me what the cause was and if I should be worried?

It's a kernel panic. In other words it means something really wrong went down. It could well mean a hardware fault or just that the kernel did an error which costed it's stability and nothing serious happens.

I can see you have a MacBook with Intel's X3100 GPU and MacBook4,1, a 2.1GHz C2D, 2GB of RAM and nice 500GB WD drive.

Yeah, I just recently upgraded it. I used CCC to clone it to an external, then back again. I also have Windows 7 on BootCamp installed. The most recent app I installed was VMware Fusion. Could the problem be caused by software, or is it purely a hardware goof?

I can't read in detail what the report says, but it looks like a software goof right off the bat. However, if it happens again, there may be a problem with your most recent installed software. Check that. If it happens again, then try going on a full hardware test and check if it passes, if not Apple is the answer. If it passes the test and happens again, go to Apple.

I'm trying to run the hardware test, but I can't seem to find it. I put in the Mac OS X Install Disk 1 with 10.5.2 on it (I have 10.6.4 installed) and pressed and held D as it started up. Didn't work. Then I tried pressing option as it started up. I entered my firmware password. The only disks available were Mac 10.6.4, Win 7 on Bootcamp, and the install disk. I read that I should have seen a separate disk for the hardware test, but it wasn't there. I tried booting into the install disk and checking the utilities for the hardware test, but it wasn't there. I also tried the Snow Leopard disk, but no dice. Am I doing something wrong?
Edit: Looks like I need to disable the firmware password. Trying again.

 

[blackburn]

The hardware diagnostic is on disk 2 the app dvd (at least on my macbook)

 

[Bizzaro]

I ran it in extended looping mode. It ran 10 times completely and didn't find anything, so it probably is a software issue. I'm just going to wait and see if it happens again, then I'll try uninstalling VMware.
