Well, it happened to me. While I was importing music from a tape into my QS, the Qs had a kernal panic (text on screen) and said it was waiting for the debugger, or some such thing.I waited a few seconds to see if something would happen. I shut it down using the front power button, and rebooted. It ran for a minute or so, and then just powered off. I wrote this and then tried to import the music again, but after about 20 minutes a black dialog box popped up telling me I needed to reboot the computer. So, should I have waited for the computer to do something after the KP? Is there some way to see (a log perhaps) what caused the KP and/or shut down or to see what causes it in the future? I normally leave my QS on all the time in a room at about 72 degrees temp, and usually have a number of programs booted up, including classic. Occasionally Firefox quits, and I just assumed that it was caused by classic running. I'm running 10.3.9 on a QS with 1.5 Gigs ram, dual 1.8GHz upgrade card, PCI SATA card and drive and a FW/USB 2.0 card. STeve
