Mac book pro restarts for no reason, while i'm working!

here's the story:
mac book pro
2.0ghz dual core intel
2 gigs RAM
10.4.10
the whole thing started when i began playing call of duty 2 on the MBP, as it got much better frame rates than my dual 2.5 G5..... when i play call of duty 2 at least once per day, or a few times a week, the entire computer will just restart, in the middle of playing!
i thought it had to do with overheating, so i bought one of those fans for under the laptop.. but it didn't seem to help... because sometimes it would restart after having only been on for 5 minutes and playing COD2 for 30 seconds... never having a chance to heat up.
so i've continued along like this.. sometimes i can play for 2 hours, sometimes only 10 minutes.. and the whole machine just restarts..
it's one **** of a COD2 bug, so bad that it forces your computer to power off and on again... but i've found not a single person having this problem with COD2...
so, the other day, i'm at a hotel.. sitting in bed, the MBP is on the desk.. some apps are open.. likely Mail and Safari.. but it's not doing much.. and the computer restarts!
then again the other day i was working in Excel and the machine restarted...
i have no idea what's going on.. if it's a hardware problem, or a software problem... i'm going to:
1. reformat the whole machine and reinstall the system (and NOT install bootcamp/XP, although it's probably not hurting anything)
2. run for a while WITHOUT my extra (3rd party) RAM
i use my machine in some very critical situations (live music performance) and cannot have a restart happen in the middle of a concert.
if anyone has any clue as to why this is happening, please let me know. i've seen a few similar stories as this on this forum, but nothing exactly.
thank you

ok Rebis i think this appears to fix your problem , not sure though.. they say just to reinstall mac os X , back up your stuff and format the drive, reinstall the os. In my case , it just reboots by itself , no grey screen , nothing, keeps rebooting and rebooting sometimes. Ran apple hardware test, sry dont remember error # , but it said video controller error.
I hope Taylor posts again to see if his got fixed, cause it seems his problem and mine are really alike if not the same.

  • Mac book pro trys to shut down while downloading?

    my mac book pro trys to shut down while im downloading for some reason..

    Hi Monroeeugene,
    I'm not sure if you mean shutting down or going to sleep ... but this article will explain how to change your sleep settings so your downloads don't get interrupted.
    Mac Basics: Set your preferences
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2490
    Change your Mac's sleep settings
    To conserve energy, all Macs have the ability to sleep. When you haven't used your Mac for a set amount of time, it enters a low-power mode until you wake it by pressing the keyboard, trackpad, or moving the mouse. Sleep doesn't turn off your computer; it merely puts it into an inactive state that consumes less power.
    Open System Preferences
    Choose View > Energy Saver.
    Choose the Power Adapter or Battery tab. If you're using a desktop Mac (a Mac mini, iMac, or Mac Pro), the Power Adapter and Battery tabs do not appear.
    Move the sliders for both the computer and display to change the times in which they go to sleep.
    Select any other options you want, such as sleep and wake.
    Hope this helps ...

  • Mac Book Pro Restarts automatically

    My mac book pro hangs for few seconds and then restarts. This problem has started after I have upgraded to OS X Yosemite. Please fix this.

    If you can't start up and log in in the usual way, try in safe mode.
    During startup, you’ll see a progress bar, and then the login screen, which appears even if you normally log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
    Log in as an administrator to carry out these instructions. If you have only one account, you are the administrator.
    ☞ If you don't see any reports listed, but you know there was a panic, you may have chosen Diagnostic and Usage Messages from the log list. Choose DIAGNOSTIC AND USAGE INFORMATION instead.
    Safe mode is slower than normal, and some things won’t work at all.
    Note: If FileVault is enabled in OS X 10.9 or earlier, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a software RAID, you can’t start in safe mode.
    If you're able to log in, launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
    In the Console window, select
              DIAGNOSTIC AND USAGE INFORMATION ▹ System Diagnostic Reports
    (not Diagnostic and Usage Messages) from the log list on the left. If you don't see that list, select
              View ▹ Show Log List
    from the menu bar.
    There is a disclosure triangle to the left of the list item. If the triangle is pointing to the right, click it so that it points down. You'll see a list of reports. A panic report has a name that begins with "Kernel" and ends in ".panic". Select the most recent one. The contents of the report will appear on the right. Use copy and paste to post the entire contents—the text, not a screenshot.
    I know the report is long, maybe several hundred lines. Please post all of it anyway.
    In the interest of privacy, I suggest that, before posting, you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if it’s present (it may not be.)
    Please don’t post other kinds of diagnostic report.

    It appears what happened is the installer though it was looking at a empty drive and just went ahead and installed.
    I of course am assuming here you didn't use Disk Utility to format the drive first before installing, that would wipe out your files and programs for sure.
    So what to do, what to do.
    Well there is hope for you as long as the drive wasn't Filevaulted.
    I'll explain. When a hard drive writes data for the first time to a drive, it starts at the very top and works it's way down.
    When OS X was installed the first time, it was at the top of the drive, unless you upgraded then the upgraded OS X could have been written elsewhere.
    Now when you just reinstalled OS X, the new OS went on the top of the drive, overwriting any data that was there previously, so what was there you have lost forever which is about 8GB or so. If it was the previous OS there, then your more in luck because only the old OS X was overwritten.
    The remaining space on the drive still can have a copy of your files, provided it's not overwritten yet.
    It's because when a hard drive deletes data or reformats, it doesn't remove the data off the drive or overwrites it immediately, it's just made so it's SPACE is available for new files to be written there.
    So technically one can recover the deleted data off a non-encrypted/scrubbed hard drive with special software.
    The way it does this is it reads the 1's and 0's of the files themselves, and through a lot of figuring out, can tell what that file is and what it belongs too.
    So what you will have to do is this:
    Create a data recovery/undelete external boot drive
    or if you don't have the skills, then take it to a local PC/Mac tech and they can do a direct image of the drive and then you can run Data Rescue on it to rebuild your files.

  • Is my mac book pro compatiable for OS 10.8.4

    is my mac book pro compatiable for OS 10.8.4

    Check that your computer is compatible with Mountain Lion.
    To check the model number hold down the option/alt key, go to the Apple menu and select System Information.
    MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer) model number 3,1 or higher
    Your Mac needs:
    OS X v10.6.8 or OS X Lion already installed
    2 GB or more of memory (More is better - 4 GB minimum seems to be the consensus)
    8 GB or more of available space
    If your computer isn't compatible, you might be able to upgrade to Lion.        Computer Compatibility - Lion              
    Check to make sure your applications are compatible. PowerPC applications are no longer supported.       
    Application Compatibility
    You can also check which applications are PowerPC by going to the  menu, select About this Mac, click on More info…, then click System Report and select Software/Applications.

  • I bought a mini DVI to HDMI convertor and  a HDMI to VGA cable to connect my mac book pro to a tv but it doesn't work any one can help.\\\\\

    i bought a mini DVI to HDMI convertor and  a HDMI to VGA cable to connect my mac book pro to a tv but it doesn't work any one can help.

    I would suggest looking into a Thunderbolt to HDMI connector. In this case, you may be able to use the TV as an external monitor. For this option, please confirm through additional research. I have not tested it personally.
    You can also use an Apple TV, which connects with HDMI. In this case, you can use Airplay Mirroring. Not all Macs support Airplay Mirroring, so you need to check first. I have a Mid-2011 27" iMac, and it supports Airplay Mirroring. I don't use it often because my TV is in another room, but I just tried it and it worked. It had to change the screen resolution to work well, so I don't know if I would want to use it as my day to day monitor. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5404

  • I need to use an hp 6215 printer with my mac book pro.  the driver installation disk doesn't work.  where can i get a driver that will work?  i use OS X

    i need to use an hp 6215 printer with my mac book pro.  the driver installation disk doesn't work.  where can i get a driver that will work?

    With the Lion it is essentially unnecessary to resort to external driver disks. What's more, most of those disks are incompatible with the OS and should not be used. The system already carries a wide variety of printer description files (aka PPDs, which is what modern printing systems use as "drivers") for a lot of brands. And there was an HP printer update just two days ago.
    Just checked in mine and did indeed find that the HP OfficeJet 6200 Series, with or without Fax, is covered with the latest update.
    So just go thru the motions of creating a proper printer instance:
    Make sure the Mac "sees" the printer on the network.
    System Preferences / Print & Scan
    Click on the + button on the left column
    Select the appropriate type of printer, will use IP for the rest of this
    Select HP Jetdirect - Socket, default for HP network printers
    Type the IP address or look it up
    Name the printer for easy identification on the print dialog
    Let the Mac identify the printer model or manually choose the driver
    Click Add.
    Once the instance pops up in the list, can click on Options & Supplies for further config.

  • Is Mac book pro useful for Video Editing and VFX Work?

    Hi Apple Team and Final Cut Pro Team,
        I am Video Editor and Motion Graphic Artist. I do a lot of Video Editing work and I have to spend hours sitting in front of my Desktop and this is getting so hectic for me. So I'm thinking of buying a Mac book Pro. But before spending that much bucks, I need to be sure that I'm going for the best option available. below is the configuration I am planning to buy. Kindly suggest me whether this is the best option or not. If not, then Please suggest me your options.
    Configuration:-
    Screen:- 15.4 Inch retina display
    Processor:-  2.5GHz quad-core Intel Core i7 processor (Turbo Boost up to 3.7GHz) with 6MB shared L3 cache
    Ram:- 16GB of 1600MHz DDR3L onboard memory
    Graphic Card:- NVIDIA GeForce GT 750M with 2GB of GDDR5 memory and automatic graphics switching

    I think a laptop is the best choice of all except when you need more power than you can get in a laptop. Even then "Both" is a great choice. In this instance, this laptop is more powerful than the largest Mac Mini that exists today, a great choice. You can't carry around an iMac or Mac Mini. The Macbook Pro Retina is the best thing out there. Again, except when your needs are greater than it can provide.
    Of course a good laptop can cost as much as a Mac Pro. They are fairly cost effective though when matched to a Mac Mini or iMac, although I did get my mini for under a thousand dollars with everything except monitors and external drive.. That Macbook Pro he's got is about $2,000..
    All a laptop is is a Mac Mini with it's own screen. So you get the best of both worlds, plus portability. Add monitors and mouse and keyboards and touchpad and external drives when you choose, or simply walk or drive away with your computer in your hand anywhere you go.  Try that with a Mini. A great advantage.
    Location stuff.. etc etc etc. Talk about chairs and whatnot, I like to lay in bed on my back with my laptop on my belly. Super relaxing. I too, get tired of sitting in that chair all the time. I don't care how good it is. I'm a truck driver. I know all about sitting for hours on end. It becomes torture.
    Both computers, that's the ticket.
    All of them if we're rich enough.
    $10,000 for a million dollars worth of equipment.
    The price of a good used car. Fantastic machines.
    On a side note, life without eating and drinking and ingesting stimulant drugs is a great life!
    Far and away more better than the stimulants ever could provide!!! Far, far superior. In all ways..
