My mac has done 2 weird things, first the screen went black then words started scrolling by, only thing I coud make out what the word "dumping". this has happened 2x, only way to stop it was to pull the plug, literally. 1st time no apparent damage. 2nd time I noticed my iphots pics are all gone several days after the "dump". I am not sure if they are related or not :( what was the "dump"? Is there any way to retrieve my photos? I chedked both trash files and no sign of them :( :?: :mad:

This is what is called a "Kernel Panic" It can be related to hardware or software. You iPhoto data should be stored in YOUR photos folder.

If your system is new enough you may want to run Apple Hardware Test as an early troubleshooting step to see if anything comes up.
