Error: "Computer restarted because of a problem.."

Hi,

I have a 2009 17" MBP. 8GB of RAM. New SSD installed half a year ago. New battery replacement half a year ago. Reformatted and upgraded to Mountain Lion four weeks ago.

Yesterday, it powered down automatically by itself. I have a workshop in three days' time (which I'm teaching), and I desperately want to find out what is wrong with the device to prevent outage on the day of the workshop!

If anyone can help, that would be greatly appreciated....

I know other threads have addressed this issue but one of the moderators requested that we start separate discussions for each error report, so here's mine:
