then just now i woke it up from a sleep only to find it with a compleatly blank screen, as if it were shut off...(definitly not the brightness thing)......but hitting the power butten did nothing.....finally i force restarted it and it booted to the gray apple and hung without compleating...i force restarted it again...same thing....i force restarted it again and it booted up fine.......
anyone know what is happining to it?
The first thing you mentioned was a Kernel Panic, meaning a serious system crash. It took longer to boot after that because it did a long disk check/repair on boot that time.
More than likely when it booted to the gray apple and 'hung without completing' it was running fsck on the disk.
You may have a disk about to go bad.
