My iMac crashed for the first time in 9 1/2 months last night. I came home from work, woke it up and the "Press Power" window is displayed.

This morning when I get up, I wake it up and voila - crashed again.

Now, I haven't done anything recently (no new software, no hardware, etc.) that comes to mind as a possible cause.

I took some recently downloaded, unused widgets off of the dashboard but I really doubt this could be the cause.

Any ideas guys?

What you're experiencing are known technically as kernel panics. Unfortunately, chronic wake from sleep panics can be difficult to solve. You may want to take a look at the troubleshooting thread found here.

Hey, thanks man, that's definitely helping

Code:
Kernel loadable modules in backtrace (with dependencies):
         com.apple.iokit.IOUSBHIDDriver(2.1.1)@0x32e03000
            dependency: com.apple.iokit.IOUSBFamily(2.1.1)@0x325dd000
            dependency: com.apple.iokit.IOHIDFamily(1.3.4)@0x2c3b1000

It looks like the crash is in the exact same place, which is good news - one problem I hope!

My USB devices are my keyboard, printer (off 99% of the time), and my D-Link Bluetooth adapter. They've been the same in this Mac since day one back in January. I'm not sure what would cause a problem?
