[Macpartners] Have you experience a black screen with restart MAC message on a MACBook Pro or MAC Mini?

[Ted Baker]

Hi Olimpia

I have generally found this to be related to a disk structure problem.

Usually, running Disk Warrior to clean up the 
file system will resolve  the problem.

In more extreme cases, I have had to take all of 
the data files off, and do a complete re-install 
of the operating system.

Good luck

Ted
