It looks one time hospitalization was not enough, and random crash still continues. Waiting for 2nd box to ship back.

Did you figure out what causes this?

[hokayan]

Yes, it seems (some of, not all) AppleCare professional understand that it is related to main logic board. If yours is one of the early production, this may be the case. Go Genius bar and ask for repair.

Did you upgrade you memory to 4GB?

[hokayan]

At the first repair Apple replaced a graphic board, and then this noise stopped but system freezes anyway...

How did they fix it?

[hokayan]

Yes, after the 3rd attempt it was finally fixed by Apple this week.

yes, for most of the people it happens when both slots are filled with 2G.

Me too! Same problem, same noise. I have been told it could be a logic board problem. No upgrades or anything, started doing it right out of the box. Overheats too!
