MacBook crashes...

Hi, Just got a new MacBook last week. All was well and dandy until a few hours ago when it started crashing (3 times in about 30mins), I am not taling about a software crash but the whole OS seizing up, also I noticed that when I picked up the laptop there was some kind of "screen noise" and the computer made a strange sound.

I think I should take it to the Apple Store, but I bought the laptop in the US and I am in the UK right now so I am not sure what they will do...

You can take it in. Laptop warranties are global.

A laptop will be serviced regardless of country.

Could you open Console.app and check the system logs?

So if the Genius Bars in the UK work like they do in the US, you should make a free reservation at the bar before you go (instead of just walking into the store and hoping they have a free opening for you to be seen).

(pick a store, then click the Reserve button under the Genius Bar area)
