I got my MBP about 2 months ago and have had so many problems that I am really, really considering switching back to Windows. Don't get me wrong, I love my MBP features and Mac stuff, but this system is not stable whatsoever.

I am now getting a System Error every week or so for no apparent reason. The error where it forces me to shut down/restart the system in 5-6 different languages.

I have reformatted my Mac 3-4 times now and still get them.

I don't download massive files and all my music is ITunes bought.

What exactly did I do wrong?

It sounds like you got some bad RAM.

Try to recreate the problem infront of an Apple employee and get new RAM.

Yes, this definitely sounds like a RAM or other hardware failure. It's certainly not normal! I'll be covered by your warranty so take it in for some testing.

Problem is, I need my laptop every day for school and there is no Apple store near here in New Orleans :(

Those are called kernel panics. In 3.5 years with 6 different machines in my house I have not had a single kernel panic. There is definitely something wrong with a piece of your hardware
