[QUOTE="Marrk, post: 1244313, member: 193327"] UPDATE: Got another kernel panic. Restarted. AppleCare said restart from disk. Reinstall OS. Got an "Install Fail." Got another kernel panic. Went to Genius bar. Genius runs a hardware check off the internet (Very cool. Apparently we can do this from our disks). Genius diagnosed bad RAM. Genius replaces both RAM sticks under warranty. Genius rechecks hardware. Genius pronounces, "All is now groovy." AppleCare phone service is cacadoodoo, as far as I am concerned. Genius Bar worked out okay, though. When I got home, I did a TimeMachine back-up. That went fine, but I noticed that the MPB got about as hot as I have ever had it (approx. 175F w/ fan speed going as high as 3800 rpm). Is that a heat and labor intensive program? Also, Genius says don't ever transport your laptop in Sleep mode, you might damage the hard drive. How come we cannot get a consistent answer from Apple on "Carrying in Sleep Mode"? P.S. Where is the thread where I can complain about how much I hate the new mac-forums.com layout? [/QUOTE]
