I have a 34 day old macbook pro. worked fine until today. now when i turn it on i get a grey screen and 3 loud beeps over and over again. There is also a dvd that I cant get to eject in the drive so i cant put in my installation cd to try that. what is wrong with this thing!

Three beeps on startup usually indicates bad RAM or bad RAM slots or even just a bad RAM connection. If you have upgraded the RAM with 3rd party RAM, it may be the cause of it. I would bring it to an Apple Authorized Service Provider to test the unit with known good RAM. For the brave at heart, I'd try reseating the RAM (Instructions under battery/battery cover usually).
