My computer ran fine for an hour or so after I ran the firmware update but it's resumed crashing again.

It started exhibiting RSS after the August SMC fan management firmware update. Since then, I always believed the solution was software or firmware based rather than hardware. That assumption is turning out to be right. Since I installed the recent update, not a single random shutdown. My fan does not appear to behave strangely. On the contrary, my machine is quieter than it's ever been. Now, I just wish I could find a way to revive my built-in iSight, which stopped functioning in August at the same time I updated the firmware. It doesn't show up in System Profiler. I guess I will need a trip to the repair shop anyways. I held off for the longest on having my BlackBook repaired. It started exhibiting RSS after the August SMC fan management firmware update.

YES, there will be a few stragglers that either have issues totally unrelated to RSS, or haven't run the update, but still unknowingly complain, but looks like the issue has been resolved in a pretty quick amount of time. Good work Apple! os11 yes, increasing evidence is the SMC update has solved the problem, a good read is here showing that Apple is no longer physically working on the machines unless the firmware has been installed.

The SMC update from Oct 27 seems to have fixed my Macbook as well. Not a single RSS since, but my fan does seem to be on much more. RSS hadn't happen more than twice prior to the Septmember update, and when it did it wasn't after sleeping, it was after light internet use where the temperature wasn't especially hot (150 F).
