From: Kurt Ullman on 15 Feb 2010 09:10 My wife's MBP has decided to turn itself off. Completely. It appears to be doing that about every 10 minutes or so. It seems to be a close to when the power saver puts it to sleep. This has just started today. It is plugged in, the battery is at 100%, the indicator at the plug in is green. It is an old (roughly 6 months or so after initial release), running updated 10.5. I have saved system and console files, but are very long and I did not want to post them unless someone thought they would be useful (I did not see anything of interest, but then it was all gibberish to me anyway-grin). Any suggestions of what might be happening. -- I get off on '57 Chevys I get off on screamin' guitars --Eric Clapton

However, I was playing with it a third time and it turned itself off WHILE we were working on it, lost the stuff we has typed. That would seem to lessen the chances it is power mgt. wouldn't it?? -- I get off on '57 Chevys I get off on screamin' guitars --Eric Clapton

There was a defect in some mbp's that caused this. Check on apple's site to see if you have one of the effected models, as it's a recognized defect and apple will fix it. Otherwise, check your fans. Try installing the iStat menus shareware, and then see what your processor temperature is. I had a bad left fan, and it was causing my system to reach temperatures of 201 degrees Fahrenheit, and then of course the system would shut down to save itself. Fixed the fan, problem solved itself. Might work for you. Good luck!
