Hi Guys, hopefully someone here will be able to help me out with a massive problem with my MacBook Pro.

The macbook turn on fine, all boots up but then wehn OS X is loaded I cannot do anything, the mousepad and keyboard are unresponsive, the only button that does work is the power button but then I cannot even choose an option because i still cannot move the mouse.

I also noticed over the last couple of day my mac wasn't 'sleeping' properly, it would randomly wake when the lid was close and the battery would drain.

Any ideas on whatthe problem is and possible fixes?
I am lost without my mac, I don't really want to send it off because it always takes months for them to fix the tinyest problem, and that is time I cannot afford, i am a web designer so I need my mac to work!

Boot from the restore disc and run Disk Utility (if you can). Also run the hardware test disc (also, if you can, i.e., if you have any keyboard/trackpad responsiveness).

It could be bad RAM or a bad hardware component that is locking up your Mac.
