Computer froze, told me to restart!

[daynel]

Hey! So I've had my Macbook Pro since the beginning of summer, and this is the first time anything "crashy, freezy, glitchy" has happened.

My mac stopped and showed me this notification:

I restarted and now its working again. But I'm worried that this was a sort of "opened the floodgates" sort of thing.

I have the applecare and I do backups every 5 days or so, so I'm not worried because I know I will be covered by apple.

But any info you can give me would be greatly appreciated!!

Thanks

"You need to restart your computer" (kernel panic) message appears (Mac OS X v10.5, 10.6)

In most cases, kernel panics are not caused by an issue with your Mac. They are most likely caused by an issue external to your Mac. If the kernel panic doesn't happen again within a few weeks, you don't need to troubleshoot further.

If you are running Lion it is most likely just a bug. It happens on my Macbook at least once a week. Hopefully they will start to address the bugs now that they get the features like iCloud rolled out.
