10.4.8 Crashes error says "Hold down your power button to reboot"

About once every 15-24 hours my hackintosh crashes. The screen begins to gray out starting at the top, and displays a message telling me I need to "Hold down the power button until my computer restarts" in several languages. Sometimes its when my computer is sleeping, and sometimes when I'm working. Basically its hard to predict.

 

my setup: home built computer

 

GIGABYTE GA-945GM-S2 LGA 775 Intel 945G Micro ATX Intel Motherboard - Retail

pqi POWER Series 1GB (2 x 512MB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 533 (PC2 4200) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory - Retail

Intel Core 2 Duo E6300 Conroe 1.86GHz 2M shared L2 Cache LGA 775 Processor - Retail

nVidea GFORCE 6200 LE 128 MB video card

 

I used the JaS.10.4.8.SSE3.Intel.Only.iso installer, with these drivers:

 

RTL1xxx_1.02.pkg

Natit_Uni_1.0.pkg

IOUSBFamily-261.4.2(Intel)-log.dmg (this is a USB installler kext found on the apple website)

 

 

 

I'd really appreciate some help, I can't figure out whats causing this.

I had the same problem after i tried to install Virtual PC v7.0 on my MacOSX86. If you have that installed, try uninstalling it. Hope it works.

I do have that driver installed, but I had it installed before this began to happen. As I look back on all the (many) drivers/kexts I have installed, I think the ones that I put in when this started happening were "IOUSBFamily-261.4.2(Intel).dmg" fromt the apple website, this kext gives me USB support. and the second is (i think) "Natit_Uni_1.0.pkg" for video card support. Thanks for the responses, hope this helps
