Another Start Up/Random Shut Down Problem

Ok, so I know there are a million threads aleady about this, but I really cant seem to find someone who has a real good suggestion, if there is any...So I have a Mac Book 512/60GB and have had the random shut down thing happen a few times. One time (today actualy) I couldnt start up. I pushed the button about 5 times and the light came on and then turned right off. I waited a little bit and then it worked. Twice when this happened and after I started up the light for the iSight stayed on and the camera didnt work until I restarted. I was in iChat using Vid chat when this happened. I was thinking about making a genius bar appointment to see what their advice was because my local store seems to be up to date on most things and this seems to be a big problem, but I figured I would check on here first. Does anyone have an actual solution that has worked for them???
Thanks a lot

Well the Genius bar ppl were great as always. They told me they could do it in-store but it would take more than 4 days and it seems that people have been getting theirs back fairly quick. I backed up everything on my iBook and had the macbook shipped to my school, so hopefully it will beat me there. He told me they have seen several of these, but when I tried to get details they seemed a little hush hush and confused. The common agreement from the geniuses was that it was a logic bored issue and thats what he wrote on the work authorization, i also need a topcase replacement as there is obvious discoloration. Im gona assume that they do run additional tests and not just follow what the "genius" says, if it is not the logic board that is causing the probs...right? When I get my macbook will it say the work that was done on it?? Hopefully this will be fixed, because a random shutdown macbook is baisicly a useless macbook when you use it all the time in school.

IMac Random Shut Down Problem

I having a problem where my iMac will randomly shut down without warning. Doesn't matter what app I'm using. The weird thing is that it ONLY happens after it has gone through a sleep/wake cycle. It doesn't happen after doing a cold start. The random shutdown happens anywhere from 30 secs to 30 mins after waking. I've tried the SMC reset, didn't help.
It is really starting to be a pain because I prefer to put it to sleep instead of shutting it off. Please help.

I'm having same problem. Random shut downs are truly random with shut down interval changing from 2 seconds to 20 minutes or more. I've tried everything, including reset SMU, PRAM, disk diagnostics. Disk checks out. I also deleted the com.apple.PowerManagement.plist file, then reset SMU again. No go!
From what I have read seems like a power supply issue. I guess I've got a good run since buying this iMac in Aug 2005. I read on another thread that www.synaptech.com has reliable replacements.
If anyone has any other ideas, then please share!
thanks and good luck!

Satellite P755 random shut down problems

Hi,
I just bought my laptop couple of months ago and haven't really been using it much since.
So it doesn't have more than 100 working hours.
Couple of weeks ago I started experiencing this strange problem with random shutting down.
There is no rule when it happens, sometimes it shuts down after a minute of working and sometimes it shuts down only after couple of hours. It goes to a full software shut down, but sometimes it goes to hibernation instead.
This happens both when charger is connected and when it's not connected.
So, using my laptop is currently pretty impossible. Also warranty is not an option for me as I bought it abroad.
I read somewhere that a person had a problem with power button and that it "pressed" it self automatically, and one more thing that's happening to me is that sometimes laptop powers itself on only by opening lid and not pressing power button at all.
So, can it be that issue, and if it is what's the best way to fix it?
So, please help with any ideas or if somebody had the same problem before, I would really like to use my laptop and this way it is impossible.
Thanks

I solved the problem, so for anyone who could be experiencing similar problems.
As I thought it was really up to power button. When I took laptop apart and tried the real power button beneath plastic one, it would someone trigger itself only by slightly touching it and not doing a full press (hearing click).
So, I guess that little plastic tip on the real plastic button that was touching it slowly constantly would trigger the button randomly and trigger random shut downs.
Actual solution is that I rasped that little plastic tip from the power button, so it's not touching the real power button anymore. Only thing now is that you need to press power button little deeper to actually turn on laptop (it's more natural now in my opinion).
Anyway, laptop is working now, it worked without stopping for whole three days.
When I talk to other people about this fix, nobody believes that it's fixed with rasp.

Random shut down repair results

As apparently many of you have been, I am in the beginning stages of the random shut downs. My first random shut down occurred a little over a month ago during a rather long session. Everything came back up and I figured it was a freak happening at the time. However, in the past few days, each time I start the computer after it has been sitting cold for a while, it shuts down several times during or shortly after bootup. The problem seems to be getting worse.
Frankly, I don't know what to do about it; should I wait, ask for a specific repair, etc...? Therefore, if you have had this problem and sent it in for repair, could you please just give a quick summary of what they repaired and how the results have been, such as how long it worked after repairs are done? This will give me and others some idea of what the best option is at this point.
In all honesty, I wish I could unbuy this Macbook at this point, since from what I hear, this is a terminal illness for the computer that affects a significant percentage.
However, since I doubt I can so easily get rid of this computer and afford to buy myself a more reliable PC, who wants to plan a road trip to Cupertino and pitch a fit?

I bought my Macbook May 22 and started having the random shut-downs in early July. I immediately called Applecare after it happened a few times in a row and went through the process of disconnecting it from the power source, taking out the battery, putting it back in, replugging the power source, turning it on, pressing appleoption+pr and holding it for a bit, and having it turn on. It seemed to work -- for a day. So I called back about it and they offered to send a box out, but since I didn't want to be away from my computer I figured I'd just take it to an apple store near me. So I did that the next day.
I met with a genius and he checked out the computer, it had been on for half an hour without turning off and he was wary about it as if I was lying because he had never heard of this problem before. It never turned off during my appointment, so he decided to take another customer but run diagnostics on mine while he was helping out this other guy. While running diagnostics, he restarted the computer and instead of the regular gray apple start up screen, it remained gray and multicolored vertical lines started slowly appearing on the screen. The genius started to look stressed and fiddled around with the computer without it facing me so I'm not sure what he did, but the screen had shut off and woudn't turn back on, and didn't connect to another screen he tried to hook it up to. He took my computer to send out for repairs, and two weeks later on apple's repair status site, it still said "on hold for a part."
So I called applecare, was on hold for 30 minutes, and finally got a really nice girl explaining that the part had come in four days before and that my computer should be shipped out shortly. Two days after that I checked the site and it said that it was shipped out already. I received my computer and the form said that a few things were replaced but they were all letters and numbers so I wasn't quite sure what exactly was replaced. I do know they replaced the area around the touchpad because I had mentioned how I wasn't a fan of the discoloration problem. It was new and bright white and I was happy about it (it has since started to discolor again).
The day after I got it back I restarted the computer and the multicolored vertical lines appeared and I of course freaked out because that's exactly the reason why it was away from me for about two and a half weeks. So I called Applecare and the guy got me to change the resolution set up a couple of times and said that it was a resolution problem. I didn't think about it anymore afterwards, I was too happy to have my computer back up and running.
So a week and a half ago its started to randomly shut down again, and while it isn't as frequent as it first was (many times a day to just once in a while), it is still a problem, obviously. I'm glad to have come on here and found that I'm not the only one with this problem.
Sorry about the long post but I wanted to share my experience with Applecare and the repairs.

Macbook Pro Randomly Shuts Down and Restarts

Hi There,
This issue appears to have occured for other people in different forms but there does not appear to have been a conclusive answer to the problem, so here's hoping someone here might be able to provide some further insight into the issue, and with some luck, a solution.
I have an early 2008 MacBook Pro running OS X 10.7.2 (plugged-in to power) that has started to randomly shut down and then restart itself (goes through all the start up screens; Apple logo etc.). It doesn't appear to be just a straight restart of the machine, but it shuts down, and then a couple of seconds later, reboots, as though it is two different actions...
The computer does this pretty randomly, and now quite often. It happens when applications are running, Safari for example, and when nothing is running and i just go to open Finder or use Spotlight.
I haven't had this issue in the past (some 3+ years of full time use now) and as far as i'm aware, nothing changed on the computer immediately prior to the issue occuring (no updates, installs etc.).
I've checked the systen log which, each time the issue occurs, returns the message 'Previous Shutdown Cause: -128'. I've sought reference as to what this refers to, but it would appear to be a mystery to the WWW.
I have tried the following solutions with no success:
- Proper restart and reboot of system;
- Repair permissions;
- Reset SMC;
- Reinstall OS X.
Any thoughts on what the problem is, what the '-128' refers to, or what more i can try to solve the issue?
Your help is much appreciated! Thanks.

I know this is a really old thread, and everyone's probably already bought new computers now. However, I'm still using my 2010 MacBook Pro and have been experiencing this very frustrating issue. However, I think I just found a way to open a finder window that prevents the shut down. In Finder>Preferences>General, under "New Finder windows show", I had "All my files" selected (BAD?), which probably was the cause, because setting that to "Desktop" instead has prevented shut downs, for now. Just thought I should share this tip, in case anyone else suffers from this annoying issue. If anyone has a better tip or a real fix, please post a reply! There are still people, like myself, working on these older machines who would appreciate the info. THANKS!

Random shut down and wonky touchpad/button

Hello!
I've noticed that for the past few months, when I begin to type something, I often have problems with the text highlighting unexpectedly. Sometimes what I've been typing gets deleted, other times I'm taken back to a few pages prior. I have problems clicking on links at times. Either the button wants to click on 12 different things at once, or it doesn't seem to want to click at all, just highlighting. It's a constant struggle with the touchpad button.
About a week ago my mac also started to spontaneously shut down. Possibly when it gets too hot? I can't seem to find a pattern to it, and it's shut down on its own both plugged in and on battery power.
My hard drive is about 2 years old now, but the computer is 3. Is this the result of too much use or can something be done to troubleshoot?

I've had that random shut-down problem for a week now. It did it again a few minutes ago. I thought it might have been a heat-related problem, but I have the back of the computer propped up to increase the ventilation on the rear.
I've had that sticky mouse problem several months now, ever since the local shop replaced the trackpad-plate. I didn't ask the shop to replace; I took the computer in to replace the failed hard drive. But the plate had been chipping around the edges, and apparently Apple had a secret warranty on the plate, so the shop replaced the chipped cover for free. Shortly afterward the mouse started sticking and acting weird. I think I have found a work-around by not placing my thumbs on the mouse. The mouse seems to be elevated now; when I close the lid while the computer is on, the pressure on the mouse causes the computer to activate whatever the cursor is on.

E4200 Shut down Problem

My E4200 recently started to randomly shut down. To say the least this is very aggravating. Nothing has changed, location still the same and it seems to be overheating or in the very least getting warm. In the last It will also shut down multiple times a day too. I have done some reading and am beginning to regret this purchase.
Thank you for the help. I hope that I will be able to get back on and check the response.

Did you try resetting the router to factory defaults? If not try it once and reconfigure it using the setup CD that came with the router. Push the reset button at the back of the router with a ballpoint pen or a paper clip for 30-40 seconds. Power off modem and router. Power it back on and run the disc.

Another iMac Randomly Shutting Down!!

Hey Everyone. I'm new to the forums, though i've always used them as a resource over the years to learn more or troubleshoot issues. Hopefully, now, someone can help me with mine personally.. :-/
I have an intel 2.8gH Aluminum iMac that I purchased fall of 2007. Only now, almost 2 years later is it suddenly (just started yesterday) turning off randomly. Everytime it will not allow me to turn it back on until a minute or so has passed. I have reset the SMC as well as the PRAM several times. This afternoon, it is now to the point where I cannot even keep it running long enough to download an app to up the fan speeds. Although, I don't think it is overheating in the first place.
I'm really hoping it is just the power supply, as I've seen that be the fix for SOME iMacs i've found at other online forums. Though, the upper corner of my iMac is not hot or smelling burnt out at all. I have found more than several online forums of people complaining about their iMacs randomly shutting down, and am praying it is not the logic board, as that is a $900+ fix.
please, someone give me insight to how i can check if its the power supply or something else? I use this iMac for recording all of my music, editing video, and (of course) playing WoW lol. Currently using my 1st gen macbook.

I bought my iMac 20" in May 2006. I had been very impressed with it until one day I shut it down to move it to another room. I could not get it to turn back on. I had to leave it unplugged for a few hours. Since then it has started randomly shutting itself down, turning itself off and not starting up again until I unplug and leave it unplugged for a few hours. I had purchased the Apple Care? Extended Warranty, and the fault occurred during this three year period, though I failed to take the fault seriously and did not phone during the period. It was just after the three year warranty that I phoned Apple Care? about it and everyone I spoke to said they had not heard of this problem occurring. I wonder now, why the Apple Customer Service Team don't visit the discussions.apple.com where they will find quite a significant number of like problems occurring with the iMac sold in 2006.
My reason for paying the nearly triple price point for an Apple Computer was the quality of the build and my expectation that I would get far longer life out of my purchase. I don't like buying throw away products and I gladly save and wait longer to buy better quality products. Just as an example and point of reference. In 2000 I purchased a second hand Dell with 8GB HDD and 256Mb RAM. I paid $1000 for it and I gave it to my father when I got this iMac and he still has it running today. It has not had a single hardware issue in nine years. Good luck I suppose. However, after spending around $3000 on this iMac, and Apple now telling me the Logic Board is generically, non specifically 'failing', it goes against my pure desire for non disposable, throw away products to buy another Logic Board for AUS $1064. For one, I don't believe it has given me anywhere near the life that I expected from a product with such a high price point and solid reputation for quality, nor do I feel confidence in buying anything more 'Apple' after the dealings I have had with them over this problem. I am amazed that Apple would sell a 'failing' Computer to their customers and then expect that the customer will spend more money, considerably more, on a product that may be equally faulty and that they will not stand behind either.

IMac Randomly Shuts Down -Overheating Problem?

I've posted in these forums once before about my iMac randomly shutting down. I believed I had solved the problem by following another users instructions which were as follows:
"Machines that are just randomly shutting down are usually caused by defective hardware. The only thing that can be done about that is to call Apple and have it replaced or serviced. There is probably not any one particular solution as it could be any number of the internal components failing and the resulting symptoms could be the same.
If you'd like to do some hardware tests yourself before calling Apple that can be done. First try resetting the SMC: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=303446
Next insert the original gray install disk, restart your iMac, then hold down the "d" key until it boots up into the Apple Hardware Test. Run the extended test.
Also if you have Apple Care install TechTool Deluxe from the cd provided. Then run TechTool on your system."
I also removed and replaced of a defective external HD that I thought my be causing problems. But after all these steps, the machine kept turning itself off.
I had read in some forums that it was due to the internal temperature of the iMac. So I downloaded smcfancontrol 2.1 and increased the fan speed on the internal fans. This did bring down the temperature as revealed by the iStat Pro widget. However, I still had another shutdown.
So I turned off the machine, went to bed, and this morning when I turned it on iStat Pro said these were the internal temperatures of the iMac:
CPU A 77 degrees F
GPU 85
GPU Diode 88
GPU Heatsink 85
Ambient 61
Memory Cont. 74
Airport Card 112
HD Bay 1 76
I find these numbers to be unbelievable. Especially the airport card. When the whole system seemed to be running hot, the Airport Card said it was 122. It always says something above 100 degrees. The other temperatures also seem out of whack. How can the CPU be 77 degrees after 10 hours of being completely powered down in an office environment that is only 55 degrees?
Has anyone else run into a similar problem?
Has anyone else found the problem to be a faulty temperature sensor (and is there a way to reset it, or does it have to be replaced)?
Overheated? in Oregon...

Certainly sounds like a case of the left hand not knowing from the right, huh
Well, I have my call in, and I am getting onsite service to replace the logic board, as per Apple's recommendation.
I'm reading the other longer thread (171 replies), and it's disheartening to hear how some of the "geniuses" are handling this problem. They can't replicate it by leaving the mac running overnight, so "the problem doesn't exist". Hello! It's *random*! As in, not easy to replicate!
I'm also a bit disillusioned that the popular Mac sites (TUAW, etc) haven't picked up on this story yet. I emailed TUAW the link to the long thread, and they ignore it. Usually when this gets more "mainstream" press, then Apple finally steps up, acknowledges a problem, and serious fixes are made. Right now, it's a bunch of complainers (me included) in some threads on the Apple site.
I took a huge leap last November, and went from PCs to the Mac platform, after working on my personal migration plans for a month prior - how to move from my photo editing on the PC to the Mac (I wasn't about to buy another full copy of Photoshop, for eg, but I did find out I could upgrade from Win PS to Mac PS), if all the programs I use for photography and design were available on the Mac, learning the ins and outs of shortcut keys, how things are done, etc etc, and was so happy initially when I got the Mac and said goodbye to the PC.
Now I'm literally afraid to do any serious work on the Mac for fear of the "pulled plug" syndrome losing the last 20, 30 minutes of work I've been doing because I didn't save every 2 minutes. And iLife's Pages doesn't autosave (much to my chagrin), so I've lost some long correspondence and articles typed because I didn't save it before the pulled plug o' death.
Not a very nice computing experience.
As a suggestion, maybe everyone reading this and the other thread can flood TUAW.com with a news suggestion to cover this problem. Engadget, Gizmodo too while you're at it. I think once these million-viewers a day blogs cover it, we'll see some real action from Apple.
Just a thought....

Random Shut Down & Wont Start Up

For some reason, my computer has randomly shut down 2 times and has been unable to start up 2 times as well. I just bought this MacBook Pro a few days ago and previously had a PC. Is there something I might be doing wrong to cause this or does anyone know if there is a fix /problem I am unaware with. Any help/advice would be extremely appreciated!

That isn't really a shutdown. That is more of a crash. There are problems that cause a complete shutdown of the computer.
When this happens, is the latch LED on?
The console application is in the Utilities folder found in your /Applications folder. Or you can use the Finder menu, Go->Utilities. To make sure you are looking at the console log, click on the Logs button and choose console.log in the left side panel. The system.log can also have useful information about the problem.

Macbook Pro Randomly Shuts down...SMC Reset only temporarily

I have a somewhat concerning problem with my 2011 Macbook Pro (15").
It started two nights ago, didn't happen yesterday, and happened again today. It has also fried two iPhone chargers. Here's the story:
On Sunday night, my Macbook randomly shut down. Wouldn't restart, nor would it even charge (the LED on the charger didn't even come on). So after trying everything I could (namely, PRAM, SMC, etc.), I finally took the bottom of the computer off, unplugged the battery internally, did a hard reset of the SMC, and everything was back up and running. That night, I got a strange error when I plugged my iPhone in to charge: USB is using too much power and has been disabled, or something along those lines. Weird--but my computer didn't shut down again, so I shrugged it off.
Fast forward to tonight--all worked fine until I plugged a NEW iphone charger into the computer. This same cord worked fine this afternoon, but I got the "USB drawing too much power" message and then nothing. The computer shut off, had to unscrew the bottom and do another hard reset, and here I am.
I've tried to figure out just what might have caused this. I did buy a charger from my university's bookstore that I do not think was Apple branded. Is it possible that it somehow fried my battery? Or do I have a bigger issue - motherboard, RAM, etc.? The computer (when I get it to finally power back up) works fine and no files have been lost, so I don't think it's harddrive related.
If anyone can shed some light on this problem, please let me know. I've searched for a long time to find a problem similar to mine and haven't found any answers other than the generic "Reset SMC," or "Reset PRAM." I know how to and have done both of these things. Do I need a new battery? I ordered a charger directly from Apple and have only used it since the first shut down.

There's only a limited amount of things you can do on a laptop repair-wise: tiny and tightly packed components are a far cry from yesteryear's huge boxes with individual removables.
Is the USB error coming in regardless of which USB slot you use? Have you reproduced this error with other USB devices that draw a charging current or significant power?
If the problem is indeed that USB is drawing too much power, it could be a short in the USB circuitry, or it could be a short with your phone. Try charging someone else's iPhone. The concept with current is that it's "pushed by voltage" and "drawn by a resistance in a closed circuit." If the voltage is too high, or if the resistance is too low (short circuit), then you will end up where you're at.
Also, it could be helpful to review your system log. In spotlight, write "terminal" then type in the shell prompt (without the quotes) "cp /var/log/system.log ~" this will put a file on your desktop that you can open with a text viewer, search for the word "USB" towards the end of the file, and see what you can make of it. Post anything here that seems suspicious. Warning: it'll be cryptic and hard to read!
So,
- Try different USB slots on your computer
- Try different USB power-drawing devices
- Try different iPhones or iPods
- Review the system log and post any suspicious lines

IMac mid-2011 randomly shuts down.

Hello,
My iMac was fine until yesterday. It all of a sudden started randomly shutting down. It looks like a power loss. As if i just pulled the power out of the wall outlet.
After it shuts down, the fans start up again but the screen does not come on. (so it's just the fans blowing) I have to "force shutdown" it from this state by holding the power button in order for the computer to start up again.
Things I have already done:
1. Reset PRAM
2. Reset SMC (by unplugging it for an hour)
3. Run disk utility, fix the disk permissions etc.
4. Run the extended apple hardware check. (all checks out fine.)
5. remove my Kensington RAM (leaving just the samsung ram in there)
6. Remove the samsung RAM (leaving just the Kensington ram in there)
7. Use another wall outlet, does not change anything.
8. I ran a program called memTest to check the RAM. It all checks out fine.
The RAM that i have bought has been in there for at least a year... So I don't think that that is the problem. It was the specially for iMac RAM. So it's not just some random RAM.
I have unplugged all external peripherals. Still does the same thing. If I look into the folder where kernel logs are saved there are none that match the times of shutdown. (also none close to it)
My model is the:
21.5 inch 2.7 GHz Intel i5 with Radeon HD6770M graphics card.
As it's a pretty old pc i no longer have warranty or anything like it...

The machine is as clean as it can be. I even cleaned out the RAM ports (while replacing the RAM) Of course I did not check INSIDE the computer, but there is no way to get in without voiding warranty as far as I know. The environment is just regular room. Normal humidity, normal everything.
As for how old. Its the Mid-2011 21.5 inch model bought in october 2011-ish.
I have some new interesting findings. I reset the PRAM for the gazillionth time and the temperature sensors were back. So everything seemed ok again. The weird thing is though... It booted once with the PRAM messed up (fans blowing on max) and I decided to leave it that way to see if it was doing anything. It stayed on for an hour. Then I decided to turn it off and reset the PRAM. After the reset the problem was back. Within 5 minutes of booting it shut down again.
I'm really baffled by this. The temperature sensors all check out normal. (they're all 30-40 degrees) But the fact that it stayed on so long with messed up PRAM makes me believe the problem doesnt have anything to do with power supply or something like that... It might be in the PRAM itself. Would a reinstall of OS X fix anything? (I will be having a hard time getting my data off of the pc tho...)

Random shut down issues and more, apple recieved puter today, on hold

Ok so i have all the signs of a bad logic board or messed up puter. Mooing, random shut downs, dies during screen saver, and dies when lid is closed. I sent unit in yesterday, they got it today. Website sai on hold for infomation. So I gave them a call. They said they reseated the ram and its working and what else was wrong. I told then the mac genius did this twice and did all the other reset, then i got it home and it died again. There gonna start running more tests on it, i told her to tell the tech of the terminal thing to do to cause shut downs. ANd i told her of this post. She was extreamly nice to me and said there going to take care of me. they have had it for one afternoon, so i cant yell yet. I did ask that they replace the unit and send me a new one, she said they will run a more tests and go from there. I pointed her towards this forum as im sure many of you have and she said there going to and have been checking it out. So I guess there ontop of the issue. My bigest fear was getting the unit back andhaveing same problems. But hey thats what customer service is for so ill give applecare there fair chance first. Ill keep ya updated.

here another scientist.
Firmware is reversible by reflashing it ... it just
need another set of istruction in binary package.
My ISSUE is related ONLY with firmware,
mathematically.
Actually that's only partially true. It's only reversible by reflashing if someone has released the "reflash" package, which Apple has not. And so long as the changes it made allow a rollback of sorts. Many firmware updates will very clearly state that they can not be removed or undone. So... in your case, the previous poster was correct... it is impossible, through software to reflash your MacBook firmware
Go ahead and try to even reload the firmware, your MacBook knows it is already updated and will not allow the firmware to be reflashed.
Please, put your energy towards some other project, the SMC Firmware update, no matter how "coincidental" the timing of your RSD was, is not the root cause of the RSD.
BTW - I will echo the same comments about your experience with the so called Apple Genius, he's a tool
Call Apple or go to the Store and speak with someone else, in fact ask the Apple Genius if he is familar with the MacBook Random Shutdown. If he is not, ask to speak with one that is. The Apple Genius I spoke with was indeed familar with the problem and was simply great in processing my repair. Every instance so far has been related to a hardware problem.
Good luck

BOOT CAMP & RANDOM SHUT DOWNS?!.?!.?!.

Now, I have posted a few topics and replied to a few as well reguarding the random shut down deal. I called Apple technical support and they were not support at all. I was talk to uninstall and re-install my RAM. The random shutdowns continued...and continued more often and whenever they desired. So, I removed BootCamp and I've been shutdown free...except for when I shut the machine down myself. I wonder if there is any relavince. Please post your situation...

OK. I have both random shutdown, and vertical lines at start-up since I put the Firmware update on last week. Finally making some headway with it.
I concur that holding the power button till the beep fixes the shutdown problem. It does this, by locking the CPU to 1.0 GHZ as the other poster mentioned, so we can summize that there is something with the auto-stepping and the latest firmware that are not playing nice.
I have done what was suggested here, and am still running after 30 minutes. We will see.
Next, on another post, the vertical lines issue was told to be solved by changing the resolution to 1152x720, then rebooting, then changing it back. That worked for me. I was not able to go into single user, was not able to hold the option and boot too another device, nor was I able to boot the comptuer without zapping the PRAM. now it seems fine.
I too found the shutdown first in bootcamp. and was able to keep her running by using AC power rather than battery, or so I thought.
So, all this seems to point to a bad firmware code set that either corrupts NVRAM or overwrites sections that cause the problems.

Mid-2010 15" MacBook Pro, random shut-downs running Mavericks,

Since the last two Mavericks OS updates, beginning April 21st, I am experiencing random shut-downs on a mid-2010 15" MacBook Pro, any suggestions? I've seen posts regarding the known logic board issue, I had no problem before the last two OS updates. Seems to be related to sleep/wake. Running 10.9.2

Hi Andy, would you take more look at this log. . . random shut down happened again, look at 11:54 am and before, I re-booted at 12:02. Had suspected my external monitor at the office, laptop does not do this at home, ran for three straight days, no issues. No monitor connected today as a test. Plugged in at the office for just over three hours and bam. could be the battery thing, will try AHT or Apple Diagnostics, could it be a Time Machine related issue? Thanks in advance.
