Macbook Crashing On Waking From Sleep, States OS X is the cause

[shadownddust]

I have a late 2008 macbook, and occasionally after going into sleep via closing the lid or according to the sleep timer, it doesn't really want to wake up. I open the lid/press spacebar and the computer sounds like it's waking up, the keyboard lights up, but the screen stays dark. I've tried waiting for up to 30 seconds before eventually I just hold the power button and hard reset. Upon restart, there is an error message stating that os x crashed. I haven't been able to let it sit for more than a minute or two, as it usually happens when I'm getting ready to give a presentation or something, fun right.

The report is below. Any ideas?

Have you changed or installed anything recently?

I upgraded the ram to 4gigs about 2-3 months ago, but I think this problem had been occurring before then. It's seems to be getting progressively worse as well, occurring more often.

Then there is something wrong below the surface that you need to get looked at. Take it to an Apple store or call AppleCare.

same thing here. Had my MBP for only a couple months and the keys will light up and it will stay with the screen turned off til I hard reset it....
