Constant power button and greyed out screen (needed restart)

So I'll use my computer in the normal way that I would (ichat, MSWord,iTunes and maybe some other programs) and every now and again (more often than that actually) the computer screen would go dark and I would get a notification that I need to restart my computer in the way of holding down the power button.
I've run though disk utilities and fixed whatever problems it could. I've also run the Maintanence automation from the download site.
This is usually what will happen:
I'll use my computer normally
a program will quit unexpectadly
a) annother program will quit in the same way and then the computer will crash
b) the computer will crash
I've had this computer for a year and this only started happening a month or so after a full reinstalation of MaxOSX (annual cleanup)
What should I do?

After doing more reading into my issue I figured what was going on was my Kernel was Panicking (can I use the terms like that or is it just Kernel Panic... anyway)
so I went ahead and found the logs on it and as you can see, it's happened a few times SO... without further stalling:
