i've taken my macbook to an apple retailer 3 times and they can't figure out the problem.
the problem is that my macbook freezes intermittently when the airport is turned on.

the first time i took it in they told me it wasnt an airport issue, but that it was a HD issue and that my HD was becoming corrupt.
so i bought a new HD and replaced my old one.
Still have the same problem, and they ran AST which detected no issues, which i am NOT happy about cause i'd like to know what the cause is (i still think its the airport card since my macbook only freezes when the airport is turned on), but i dont want to waste money on something i'm not sure about.

i lost my original install discs so i was going to buy a new one, but before i do that, i was wondering if AHT detects pretty much every piece of hardware, or if you think it will detect the problem at all since the problem is intermittent?

is it worth buying a new restore disc, or what should i do? call it quits, and buy a new computer?
