I've never had OSX freeze before. I was working on sumthin in photoshop and it just stopped. I couldn't move the mouse, no force quit, nothing. The fan started to spin faster and faster. I manually restarted and at the start up screen there was a folder with a question mark for less than a second then the Apple sign.

Should I worry about this? Everything seems fine now.

Back everything up just to be safe, but it's probably fine as a one-off. Was anything captured in Console re the crash? Was anything plugged in when it froze? Maybe check that the correct Startup Disk is selected in System Preferences, too. :)
