My Macbook Pro screen goes black during use and has to be manually shut down then restarted. Why?
This is happening more frequently now and it's worrying and frustrating. Someone has mentioned it is likely a portable hard drive issue, as there are 3 different portable hard drives that I use with this computer, 2 of the 3 are compatible with both Mac and PC. Someone said the dual usage can create more problems than it's worth with a mac and that I should change to just use for a Mac (I don't have a PC).
The problem started with iPhoto as it has begun crashing as well and then rearranges a good number of my photos. I have lots of hard drive/disk space left and my computer is running fine EXCEPT for iPhoto which is slow and also now, during normal tasks such as writing on Word when my computer goes black.
Here is the latest system report:

Thank you so much to anyone who can provide feedback - by the way, I am not highly skilled with computers so any help will prove to be very useful!!!
Also, usually it lists "apple driver" at the beginning of the list of problems, if this provides any further information.
