Hi- I hope this is the place for the question I have. I have a blueberry iBook running OS 10.3.3.
Lately I have been getting a startup screen I have never seen before. It says"
You Need to Restart your computer. Hold Down the power button for several seconds or press the restart button" The screen comes up after the welcome screen and before the desktop appears.
Any idea wht is wrong?
Thanks- Rick

It's called a Kernel Panic. Have you added new RAM lately?

No, I haven't. I haven't done anything of late to the hardware, just a software upgrade to 10.3.
What can I expect? Will it come back? What can I do?
Thanks for any help.

Look in /Library/Logs and see if you have a file named panic.log
Post the content here, it may help finding out what happened.

No, I don't have a file with that name. Anything else I can check?
