I need some definite help with my computer. I keep getting these kernel panics (screen grays a bit and a message in 4 languages comes up telling me to restart.) I've already had a few today and I had probably five yesterday. This last time I restarted after one my dock preferences must have been reset because it was much bigger, and doesn't hid when the mouse isn't on it, not to mention that it has all the wrong apps. I don't know what's causing this. I wasn't getting them for awhile and the last couple days I've been converting a lot of music to AAC and I started getting them again, more than ever before. I don't know if my computer is somehow overworked by converting music and doing other general tasks, but it's sure hard to get anything done when it crashes every couple minutes it seems. Oh, by the way, I'm using an iMac G4 800mhz. Please help me.
Got a tip for us?

I learned the location of the panic logs from mkrishnan. Look here: /library/logs/panic.log for the log and post it.
Post the log so that others may comment.
Reasons for Panics, 1, RAM- run the hardware test, 2, non-complainant hardware. Unplug all of the non-Apple items. 3, bizarre conflicts between software (what are you running when the panics happen. Lastly, disk spanning, that is when transferring files or browsing the internet, if you have less than a few gigs of space left on the system HD, your computer will crash. Thats what happened to me. Clear the cashes, free up as much space as you can.
Run a program like Onyx or MacSweeper, or the Disk Utility. Have the programs update the prebindings, and if you can, run all the maintenance functions that they can. The former two are good tools (really just AppleScripts running routeens already built into OSX), I prefer MacSweeper
Wait for people to help you, but posting the logs should help. If you have Apple Care or are still under warranty, try Apple.
If worse comes to worse, reinstall the OS.
Also post your system stats, os, etc

Look above.
Hard Drive ->library -> logs -> panic.log
Click on Panic Log
Console will open (its an application)
Select text, copy (command-c)
Post in this forum, paste is (command-p)
Good luck.
Are you hooked up to a network, USB network adapted, I would get 3 or 4 kernel panics a day, till I took it back and argued with the manager and he gave me a different USB one that was not even meant for mac, took that one back and bought an ethernet gaming adapter that works well with my mini.
Thanks Eniregnat, I completely misunderstood you the first time. Thanks for the clarification. Here's what it said:

That means very little to me. Hopefully it means something to someone and that someone helps me. I only copied the ones starting with the fourth one on May 16th, I accidently did all of them at first and it was about 7 times as many characters as are allowed, which I guess is a bad sign.

That means very little to me. Hopefully it means something to someone and that someone helps me. I only copied the ones starting with the fourth one on May 16th, I accidently did all of them at first and it was about 7 times as many characters as are allowed, which I guess is a bad sign.
Anyone here know what all that means or have any ideas what my problem is? Thanks in advance for any help.
I'm certainly no expert, but I had a quick look around and found another similar thread.

That proved to be memory. The linked thread mentions memtest. Have a read of it and see.
I just did a google search on the text below

I would say that there is somthing wrong with the graphics chip (or maybe the logic board) or it's drivers. Every panic listed is in the GeForce driver module that is loaded.
It definitely looks like the issue is either in your Nvidia graphics driver or an issue internally in your graphics card (hardware or firmware). I would look for an updater for your graphics card or re-install Mac OS X. If that doesn't help your graphics card needs replacing.
Well I ran memtest and it was working fine and was almost done and I was just looking at something on the internet and I got a kernel panic, so I don't know if it was caused by the memtest, if that means my ram is bad, or if it was a coincidence. If you have any ideas on what it might be, let me know. I'm running it again now and I'll try and have the terminal window on top of things and watch it so i see if it says anything.

Do you have AppleCare? I hate to say it but I think it's bad hardware. Likely Logic Board is the culprit. My old iBook had all the same issues...and kernel panics... and I did all the tests etc. Bad logic board was the reason.
Unless you have installed some other hardware recently like RAM. Then THAT should be the first thing you yank as you troubleshoot. Good luck--
Well I ran memtest again and once again I got a kernel panic towards the end, but this time I saw what it was doing when it happened. It was checking the second one and said "Bit Flip: testing 41." So does that mean that there is something wrong with my RAM? That would be kinda weird, this RAM was installed the day I got it by apple. I've always had kernel panics, but they been very infrequent up until recently. So do you guys think that the memory is really at fault here? Is it more likely that this panic was caused by something other than the RAM being bad?
Also, what do you think it means that a few days ago after a kernel panic I restarted, and my dock settings were back to default? It didn't show and hide when I moved my mouse on and off of it, it wasn't the same size, and it had all the default applications in it.
edit: oh, as for applecare, I can't really remember if we got it or not. We got the computer in fall of 02, so if we did get apple care it should still be valid right? Is there a quick and easy way to check if we have applecare?

So, any ideas? Is it my ram because of what happened with memtest? Is it my graphics card because there seem to be mentions of it in the panic log? Is it something to do with Pro Tools because there often seem to be problems with Pro Tools compatibility (and I think I installed a new version around the time these kernel panics started)? Or is it something completely different? Weigh in now and tell me what you think.

I think you should call Apple. As most people above have said, i believe that you need a new logic board.
If you did buy AppleCare, you should have registered it one year after buying the Mac. If you didn't, you don't have Apple care.
If the logic board does turn out to be faulty (and you DON'T have AppleCare), you'll probably need to invest in a new computer since the price to replace a faulty logic board is close to that of a new machine.
EDIT: I didn't read carefully enough. 
If you are out of warranty and feel comfortable, you should try removing the upgrade RAM stick and see if the panics go away. RAM does go bad sometimes. If pulling out the RAM solves the problem, you probably need to get new RAM.
If you have warranty or don't feel comfortable, you should have Apple deal with it.
