System Preferences -> Displays -> Display: check the resolution setting.

if it happened after connecting to a projector, thi is it.


Do you understand the concept of resolutions? The more dots across and down, th mor stuff oyu can display, btu the smaller it is. Projectors are typically lower resolution - at MOST 1024 x 768, so your mac would reset (there are some ways around this but that's beyond my iwllingness to type at the moment)
