Beginning to have a few problems

[sn00pie]

I've begun to notice that my Macbook will give me a kernel panic very often when I pick it up. Just now I was listening to a youtube video of a song and I picked it up to move to my desk and she gave me the old kernel panic.

This has been happening for the past few days.

One more thing: yesterday I had a weird experience with something on my screen. Basically on the right side I had a whole bunch of horizontal lines appear sort of like barcodes. The macbook was pretty much frozen, so I held the power button and rebooted. Once it got to the blue screen these bars appeared again and I was forced to reboot again and they disappeared.

My macbook is only about 7-8 months old so I know I'm still covered by the warranty, plus I have AppleCare purchased and registered.

Any idea whats wrong or should I just backup my data and leave it?

Note: This is a white plastic Macbook, 4GB Kingston RAM, Combo Drive

I would back up your data and have it fixed when convenient.

Have your mac service since you still cover.

Hmm..I will give them a call soon as I need my notebook for school

This could be the issue where some models of Hard Drives interfere with the built in Sudden Motion Sensor causing a Kernel Panic.

Try these tips for disabling Sudden Motion Sensor to see if it fixes the problem:

...make an apt, your covered under warranty...

For the Kernel panics try this.

However if the kernel panics and/or the screen issues dont pass onve the PRAM is reset then it sounds like a more serious (physical hardware eg logic board, cable) issue. I'd say back up anything important just to be sure and try get it checked asap!
