If you get a screen that looks like this:
TS3742_01_KP-001-en.jpg
It's called a kernel panic. If it doesn't happen again, or very infrequently, don't worry about it.
In most cases, kernel panics are not caused by an issue with your Mac. They are most likely caused by an issue external to your Mac. If the kernel panic doesn't happen again within a few weeks, you don't need to troubleshoot further.
"You need to restart your computer" (kernel panic) message appears (Mac OS X v10.5, 10.6)
Mac OS X 10.7 Help: If “You need to restart your computer” appears

Also, you may have better success in attracting responses to your thread, and you'll make your thread easier to find for those browsing the forum for the same answers, if you change your thread title to something more descriptive. To do so, click the "Edit" button on your original post, then click "Go Advanced" and you will see where to edit the thread title.
 
Here is how you take a screen shot and post it.

Yes, it looks like you had a kernel panic. Just turn off your Mac and turn it back on. If it doesn't happen again, I wouldn't worry about it. If it does, the links I posted will help you debug the problem.

its turn on and turn off automaticliy over and over.

i tried to uploed a video to youtube and i will give you a link to this video.

thanks, ariel
