Have anyone seen this screen on the Macbook Pro or iMac?

I got this all the time on my iMac since a couple months ago, and now it started doing this on my MBP.... It's sooooo annoying..

Even I follow the instructions a few times, it still appears frequently.

Do you guys have any clue ?

Thanks

That's a Kernel Panic.

Have you made any changes to the systems recently, new RAM or something?

So that is what a kernel panic is ???
I have had this so many times in the last 2 weeks... soo annoying on a brand new machine like mine.... that is life i guess
nice to know what it is though.

Apple has kernel panic details on its site along with some basic troubleshooting help.

If you ever used Windows, it the equivalent of the BSOD.

Difference is in Windows it gives the error immediately and the computer restarts by itself. In OS X, you have dig through pages of logs.

The two biggest culprits when you get a lot of kernel panics are bad hardware, or bad drivers. Have you installed any new devices that required drivers? Have you installed new RAM or hard drives? In either case remove what is new and put back the old (if applicable) and see if the problem stops. If it does try to get the new stuff replaced. If it is more than one item, add them back one at a time until the problem re-appears.

It could also be a corrupted system. You could try a re-install.
