I left my puter on last nite and woke up to a message that the
puter had tried to re-boot by itself but was unable to. The message
states that there is an error in the software and that I need to
load DLL for kernal. It further states that I should contact my
support person.
What the heck is going on?

It may have installed an update (would be the right night for it) and had
trouble.
It may have had a hard disk drive failure.
It may have had a power issue.
It may have a memory issue.

Did you turn it off and turn it back on (unplug from power, plug it back in,
turn it on) and see what happens?

If you are getting an error message - please quote that word-for-word.
