2.33ghz 15" MBP with 2gb of OEM Ram and 256 VRAM

When shutting the case the machine randomly restarts. Today was the 3rd time it's happened.

The only thing that is noticeable is that after I shut the case, I'll hear the DVD drive 'spool up' and then the start up chime goes off.

Each time I shut the lid firmly and it's been on the couch. I've tried to replicate it without luck.

I have a feeling it may be the DVD drive.

One question for other's with similar machines. When you wake up your machine from sleep, does the DVD drive 'spool up' each time? When I 1st got the machine I thought this was odd, since my 15" PB's super drive never did this.

I have a feeling I'll be taking a trip to the genius bar in the future. Any other suggestions?

My 15" C2D 2.16 restarted when I shut the lid earlier today. That was the first time it had ever happened.

As far as the DVD spooling up upon waking, mine does each time.
