Hi there!

Could anyone please help?

I own a MBP LED SR. Specs are:

2.2Ghz/200GB7200rpmHD/128MB Nvidia 8600M GT/2GB memory/OS 10.5.1
with every software update.
I have installed no additional programs yet.

Problem is, when I listen to iTunes (7.4/5) and turn on the visualizer and open DVD player 5.0 on mute, they will both Freeze with the only recourse being a Hard Restart! I am playing a store bought copy of The Big Lebowski...

Scrolling through the dock also causes the DVD to glitch.

This is what I have done to so far:

Verify and Repair (unnecessary) the disk.
Log in as a different user.
Reset the P RAM.
Remove and Reinsert the RAM.
Erase and Reinstall Leopard from DVD (w/o any updates, same problem).
Play different DVDs.
Tried to decipher the various logs.
Run a few hardware tests (short gives me an error T:GOD, somethin' somethin'.....Extended test never shows an error).

Is this too be expected from a $2400 computer?:confused:
