The past couple days my Mac has experienced several 'restarts' on its own. As I can best recall it has only happen at this web site. Have any other Mac users experienced this recently? What I see is a message appears saying “Your computer restarted because of a problem. Press a key or wait a few seconds before starting up.”

 

I have not & I am on here all the time. Using Snow Leopard (still) & the latest version of Firefox.

 

Nope. I think that you managed to pick up a virus somewhere else that shows it's ugly face here. I have a Mac, OSX 10.9.3 and have no problems here, nor anywhere else.

Well, I guess I can eliminate a site issue. Thanks for the replies.

I ran a virus check, deleted all cookies, and ran repair disk. Still it happened twice since.

Running OSX 10 Mavericks 10.9.3 on my 2011 iMac. Safari browser version 7.0.4. And my most recent software update was iTunes 11.2.2 on May 29.

The only thing that wasn't up to date were several apps, which I just updated tonight. Time will tell..... hope it was one of them that was causing what Apple calls 'kernel panic'.

 

Dave, check out the link below. It provided some information on issue you describe.

Just about describes your problem to a "T".

Thanks, poorshoeless.

By the way, I have Firefox installed.

Thanks for the link. I found that before I posted my question. I am hoping I do not have to get into the depth that the entire article takes one. So far I've not had it happen again since I updated the apps on this machine. BUT, weird stuff seems to randomly happen like right now..... I clicked on the Emoticons to pull off the fingers crossed icon and the list appeared but without any of the icon figures; just the wording when I hit 'show all'. That's not happened to me before. Could someone test that step as well and let me know what they see?

 

Dave, not a mac user, but that happens to me. Sometimes the slide bar at the bottom needs a click to move it. Can't believe I took so long to figure that one out.
