ya your right, didnt have time to jot it down last night, will have a look later and fill it in tomorrow. think it mentioned kernel panic, trouble syncing, and then a lot of threads, but ill find out for sure later..

thanks..

Error messages may seem like meaningless text, but they contain useful clues to the cause of the problem. Since we don't have the messages, we don't have a clue
