The MacBook Pro is back with Apple

BamAn update to my continuing stability issues with my MacBook Pro.  This afternoon I hauled it back to the Apple Store and spent about 20 minutes with the Genius du Jour.  The symptoms are the same as the ones prior to Apple replacing the hard drive, the system will usually run fine for a while when started cold but eventually a running program will hang up.  It’s not the same program when this happens either, sometimes it’s even Finder operations that hang up.  Once the MBP hangs up it’s hard to restart, most subsequent boots immediately get the three beeps of boot death that according to Apple indicates bad RAM.

The genius decided to hang onto the MBP for a while to bang it through a lot of diagnostics and will let me know what they find soon.  I feel like one or both of the RAM sticks (one 1GB and one 2 GB) are bad and told the genius that with their own boot time diagnostics indicating bad RAM I would appreciate if they would try replacing them.  We’ll see if they follow that advice.  I am once again without a working Mac at home, I feel so empty.
