Unless you spilled Bailey's, or your martini on your computer, or dropped it into a deep abbys, then its just caused by normal wear and tear. The main logic board in a portable computer fails sometimes, mainly due to heat, and extensive use. And it also is not a defect in the product.

This type of hardware issue is rather rare, but it does happen here and there

Roman--thank you so much for your help thus far. I'm sorry I couldn't get back to you earlier, but I've been busy with the start of classes and with trying to back up my data. I'll probably call you later today or tomorrow afternoon after I've run AHT. Again, thanks so much. You rock. I should probably look up your email address so we won't be communicating through livejournal.
