My Mac (MacBook Pro, 10.7.3 OS) is crashing a couple of times a day. I started this behaviour just recently, and for no apparent reason. I've done a disk check and it all seems fine. When it crashes, the screen goes black and I have to long-press the power button to force a restart.
When the Mac restarts, I get prompted to send data on the crash to Apple. Is there anything in this data that would indicate to me the cause of the problem? Faulty IO board, memory parity corruption, disk problems etc?
This is one of the recent reports:
