Does anyone have any thoughts as to why this is happening? The machine is about 2 months old. Both times OS X quit, I was surfing the net (different sites) with Camino. The dark grey screen scolls down and says that my computer needs to be restarted by holding down the power button for several seconds. When I power it back up, there's a message that says OS X quit unexpectedly and it asks me if I want to send a report to Apple. I'm kinda new to Macs, so ANY info you would be willing to share will be greatly appreciated. If you need more info from me, let me know.

Did you add any third party RAM or USB device? If this is the case, try to remove them. Bad memory is often the causing this. Also, check any third-party software installed.

No, I haven't installed any new RAM or software recently. It hasn't happened since the two times before my original post, so hopefully I don't have anything to worry about. Perhaps there is just a bug with Camino?
