10.04

I am not very technical. My system has frozen 3 times in March--- this is what was on screen...

Ubuntu 10.04.4 LTS Admin.sybalsky.com tty1
admin.sybalsky.com login: [683454.747106]
kernel panic- not syncing: attempted to kill init!

I know the system is running:

Linux admin.sybalsky.com 2.6.32-40-generic-pae #87-Ubuntu SMP Mon Mar 5 21:44:34 UTC 2012 i686 GNU/Linux Ubuntu 10.04.4 LTS

Can you tell me what this all means and why it is happening and what can I do about it?
