Greetings mikemac57,

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!

From your question, it sounds like you may be experiencing a recurring kernel panic. If this is the case, I would suggest reading over the information located in the attached article for how to proceed. The information relevant to you for troubleshooting is located under the Additional Information section.
