So today I was just mounting a file I had downloaded and now when I ejected it i had a black screen come down from the top and it says I must restart my computer. why am i getting this?! do I need to go to an apple store?

This is a Kernal Panic and could be a hardware issue...see if it happens again...

will the apple store not help me if there is third party software installed on my mbp?

Are you using Leopard? I can't get drives to eject right half the time.

thats exactly what happened

now when i restarted it, the cpu got a lot hotter than normal and the fans were zooming up to about 5400rpms

its a bug, you cant eject a drive if you are using it or a different one, i had this issue when i was reinstalling all of my stuff i would be using a mounted image to install something, and i couldn't eject previous images until i wasn't using any of them

It about has to be a bug, glad to see I'm not the only one experiencing this issue. Hope Apple fixes it soon...
