    If I were you, I'd check the crash log.

    How do you mean: crashed?



    Was it a Kernel panic, or did the system just become unresponsive? m.

    everythin became unresponsive, and the mouse was skippin around all over the place, and nothing worked, i let it sit for 15 minutes

    Did it come back my itself or did you hard reboot it? I can make Safari crash all the time when emptying the cache. Now I just use Safari Enhancer to keep the cache disabled.

    it wasn't just safari that crashed. the whole system was hung up, and after 15 minutes, i had to do a hard restart
