hello im relatively new to my mac .1 year and love it ....of course .recently a friend showed me how to boot into single user mode to do the fsck thingy .but when we booted up we encountered this error.....

AMS: :checkForInvalidInts ERROR: I think we have a hardware malfunction, fBadHWDetected = true

ams: : start bad HW detected, not enabling the interrupts

i took it back to the store where i bought it after Apple said they would honour the warranty even though it was 2 days overdue ,what ledgends ! Unfortunately, the techs there could find nothing wrong with it .The tech who worked on it(whos name and store has been suppressed ...for now ) even told me that the head techs from Apple happened to come in while my machine was there and they could find no problem either and didnt know what the error message meant.Should i be concerned ?
