I've had this happen about once every two weeks. It's always been while using photoshop CS2 to resize an image. The computer freezes, hangs about 3 seconds, shows a quick blue screen and then restarts instantly with all my programs and windows closed.
I thought it might be a faulty HD, because i get sporadic Time Machine errors (usually when the computer is asleep), but both HD's seem to check out in Disk Utility. Could it be the scanner I'm using, which is pretty old? Might it be the USB flash drive? This is the last line in console before it crashed- something about USBF, would that be one of the USB devices causing it??...

I thought it might be a faulty HD, because i get sporadic Time Machine errors (usually when the computer is asleep), but both HD's seem to check out in Disk Utility. Could it be the scanner I'm using, which is pretty old? Might it be the USB flash drive? This is the last line in console before it crashed- something about USBF, would that be one of the USB devices causing it??...
