That is something called a kernel panic can you tell me what OS it is on
To find out your OS go to
------>About this mac------>version:xx.x.x
It's a kernel panic, and unless it keeps happening, it won't affect your computer. If it keeps appearing again, then you have issues.

Edit: Just reread the title, follow the instructions in the second link, and post that information here or in the apple support forums.

Ahh that explains a lot of things,Lion is unstable,I still suggest getting it shown if it happens basically every week.
It's really been fine for quite a while now, though yeah .0 and .1 were a bit off as usual
It explains nothing. I've been using Lion from Day 1, and I've never gotten a single kernel panic. I have the same laptop OP has. Lion isn't unstable. While I've seen lots of problems online, I know quite a few people who have Lion and not a single one has had instability issues.
Are you using any accessories, such as USB drives, at the time it happens?
Just trying to narrow down causes here - as that's most certainly not normal.

In what way is it unstable? I run it on 3 computers and I've never had a kernel panic.
The most likely explanation for the OP is that he may have hardware that is on its way out.
