MacBook won't load

Hi!
After few days fine work my recently purchased Intel Macbook won't boot even from MacOSX install DVD and showing crossed out circle and rotating boot indicator.
I tried to boot from Linux CD but it freezes on Kernel boot.
Also I tried Comm Opt+PR but no luck.
Can someone help me?

HI and Welcome to Apple Discussions...

Try Safe Mode

What is Safe Mode

Resolve startup issues and perform disk maintenance with Disk Utility and fsck

Hopefully something will help, if not post back.

Carolyn 🙂

Thanks, Carolyn.
I tried this but got the same.
1-2 minutes boot and then gray crossed circle.
I'm focusing attention that my Macbook even doesn't boot from MacOS X Install DVD.
I tried to boot from original disk that comes with MacBook and from burned DVD copy (created it immediatelly when received my Mac)

You need to take in into an Apple store or an Apple certified repair provider.

Did you get AppleCare?

No, I haven't.
But I have other intersting issue:
I placed it in a cold location (near the air conditioner) and it started to work!
There is +27C in the room where Macbook was.

If this is really the black and white version, I assume you didn't buy it new? I ask because that has a bearing on whether or not this might be covered under warranty.
