I got my MacBook for Christmas of 2006. Now it’s July 2008 and I’ve recently started having the “Random Shutdown” problem. It started I think late June 08 doing it every so often and now it’s doing it whenever I unplug it from the Power Adapter! Today I was just surfing the net (while my laptop wasn’t plugged into the wall) and it shut off on it’s own and when I tried to turn it back on it would make the start up sound and then shut off again. It had about 30% full battery and it almost seemed like there was no more battery. So I had to plug it back in to the outlet and now it’s working fine.
My computer does have the tendency to get pretty hot and the fans go really fast when it gets hot but I’m not sure if the temperature is the problem.
I still do LOVE my MacBook though, it has lots of important documents and important passwords saved and it looks pretty but if this shutting down thing keeps happening I might lose my love for Apple.
