I was about to get off my mbp and as I always do I reduced the brightness and turned off airport and boom...it told me I had to restart. Should I be worried? I've only had this computer a month...
Got a tip for us?

I usually let it go if it's a one-off but take note of what you were doing or have changed recently in case it happens again. It'll make the troubleshooting easier.

Nope... there is a Hardware cd and there is a restore/install cd. Some do actually have both install and hardware cd... in which case, pressing C should come up with a menu asking whether you want hardware or install.
