MacBook Pro 17inch shuts down after power is pressed

Hello,
My MBP shuts down after I press power button.
It the boot process it goes as far as:
chime
grey screen
grey screen with apple logo
then shuts down completely (sometimes only chime etc.).
If it gets to the login screen, it works normally.
I did SMC and PRAM reset. I removed battery and tried to start it on power connected.
I reinstalled operating system and nothing seams to solve the problem.
I have read number of posts and tried all of the suggestions.
The most common suggested sources of the problem:
battery
graphics card
hard drive
Please let me know if someone was able to solve similar problem.
Thanks, T

The whole story doesn't make sense as anything but a hardware fault.
Make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store, or go to another authorized service center.
Back up all data on the internal drive(s) before you hand over your computer to anyone. If privacy is a concern, erase the data partition(s) with the option to write zeros* (do this only if you have at least two complete, independent backups, and you know how to restore to an empty drive from any of them.) Don’t erase the recovery partition, if present.
Keeping your confidential data secure during hardware repair
*An SSD doesn't need to be zeroed.

Macbook pro unexpectedly shut down after an usb plug in

My macbook pro unexpectedly shut down after an usb plug in, and it won't turn back on. Please help!

I have this problem also. The only way to get the computer to turn back on is to open the bottom and disconnect the battery then reconnect. I have found similar problems across the web, some people seem to fix the issue by resetting the SMC, but that doesn't do anything for me.

Macbook Pro keeps shutting down after a period of inactivity

I don't know if my problem is related to this but after trying to set up Apple's 1Password, my laptop now shuts down after some time after I put it to sleep or even if I don't put it to sleep but don't use it for awhile.      Any ideas?

Macbook pro retina shutting down after computer changes graphic card

My 15 inch (Mid 2012) Retina MacBook Pro has recently started to shut down. I realized it was because of the change from using the Intel HD Graphics 4000 to the NVIDIA GeForce GT 650M. This would happen if I were to play around with the energy savings buttons or run something that requires a lot of power. After shutting down, it would restart with a black screen and will proceed to do nothing. The computer is still on though as I can still hear error noises when pressing the keyboard. It would normally require me to wait 15 minutes and turn it on after resetting RAM and SMC. I know that it isn't related to updating to the latest version of Mavericks as I was still able to run some heavy duty apps after installing it.
Processor 2.3 GHz Intel Core i7
Memory 8 GB 1600 MHz DDR3
Graphics Intel HD Graphics 4000 1024 MB
Software OS X 10.9.5 (13F34)
Storage 250GB

I just ran a few tests to confirm my suspicion that this is a sleep problem for me and found that my rMBP will restart as soon as it has entered the sleep cycle. Set it to auto sleep after 10 minutes and it will restart at 10 minutes, set it to sleep at 3 minutes and it will restart at 3 minutes. Command it to sleep and it will restart.
So for me at least there is a workaround and that is to set sleep to "never". The display still sleeps but my mac keeps running. So that's not a solution but it is a workaround, and if I want it to shutdown and not restart I either hold the powerbutton or take off the power cable and choose shut down from the dropdown menu (it won't restart on battery power, it'll just shut down).
I hope that helps someone else! And I hope it helps the engineers to diagnose and actually solve the very long running problem for us all..

Macbook Pro intermediately shuts down after sleep

I've looked all over the forums before posting this so I'm sorry if this is a repeated post!
This doesn't happen all the time but sometimes after I wake my Macbook Pro from sleep (lid down) I open the lid back up and it'll completely shut down. This happens intermittently like I say, but will happen if it has been asleep over night (8 hours) or under an hour. Sometimes it behaves just fine and as it should.
I am a bit of a computer novice so if you could speak in lehmans terms that'll be greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance!

Oh dear. Often works but not always.
Macbooks are set by default to hibernate rather than go into ordinary sleep and this may cause waking problems.

Early 2008 MacBook pro immediately shuts down after start up

Today, After shutting down my computer by holding down the power button (which I do quite often) my mbp shuts down immediately (about 1 second after) pressing the power button. After I press the power button the computer starts up i.e the fans start etc, but about 1 second later it shuts down again. I have tried resetting the SMC to no avail... Any help would be greatly apreciated. My os is leopard

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
Is this happening on MagSafe/mains power or Battery ?
If battery then it sounds like it's died, check System Profiler / Power to see what's showing for it.

Macbook pro wont shut down without holding the power button nor cycle for updates to restart.

macbook pro wont shut down without holding the power button nor cycle for updates to restart

Sorry I said sorta wrong. I can shut down and I can update to the point of restart but it just sat for 45 minutes after an update. It goes through the update and to restart then the bars chase each other in a circle and it never restarts. So I hit the power button and go through normal reboot but loosing the update in the process. It does not matter how long I wait for a natural reboot after an update or click to restart it will chase the little bar in circles all day literally and never reboot.

My MacBook Pro just shut down without notice. It had about 40% of the battery life. It will not turn back on and I noticed when plugged in the little light on the power cord is blinking orange, not a solid green like normal. Anyone have this issue before

MacBook Pro just shut down without notice. It had about 40% of the battery life. It will not turn back on and I noticed when plugged in the little light on the power cord is blinking orange, not a solid green like normal. Anyone have this issue before? I've only had this for about 3mos. I called apple support. They tried one thing then said I have to take to the apple store. Unfortunately I don't have one nearby. So before I travel an hour+ away I thought is give it a shot on here. Thank.

Hi S,
Did they have you try an SMC Reset: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964?

Macbook pro 2012 shuts down right after start up!

macbook pro 2012 shuts down right after start up. I tried the recovery mode but disk doctor cannot repair Mac osX hard drive.This is the second time that I have to format hard drive and install agin all applications. please advise!

I am not familiar with "disk doctor" but if you used Disk Utility to repair or reformat the hard disk, and it failed again, it is very likely the drive itself needs to be replaced. It cannot be repaired.
If Disk Utility cannot repair a hard disk it definitely needs replacement.
All 2012 MacBook Pro models are less than a year old and therefore covered under Apple's standard one year warranty. Have them fix it.

MacBook Pro keeps shutting down unless connected to mains power

My MacBook Pro keeps shutting down unless connected to mains power, even when fully charged. I took it into Apple store, Leicester, UK - battery diagnostic shows good condition so they updated the system but that hasn't worked. I'm running OS X 10.6.8

Thanks! I've followed your suggestion and so far my MacBook has been behaving for the past few hours without being plugged into mains power! Fingers crossed...

MacBook Pro keeps shutting down immediately after startup chime

I booted into Windows 7 on my boot camp partition and was about to play Dirt 3 for the 1st time. I was in the options menu of the game and my MacBook Pro just shut down/turned off instantly.
I turned back on, holding in Option so I could boot into Windows again, but the computer just turned off immediately after the startup chime. I turned on again, this time I didn't hold in Option, so I could boot into OS X (my default startup volume) and the same thing happened - MBP shut down immediately after the startup chime. I tried again, same thing. I tried again, and this time it booted fine into OS X, and all seems ok.
Any idea what's going on?

Hi. When you were in the recovery drive doing permissions, did you try and run a repair of the boot drive? Did you try single user mode? Try these first and then go back and try to reinstall the operating system.When I say repair boot drive I don't mean permissions. There are both options in disk utilities.When you open disk utilities ,you will see in the left column two drives plus possibly a boot partition that look like an external driv. click on the second drive and in first aid use repair disk. If you still can't boot and it will not let you restore, you may have to do a clean install. http://support.apple.com/kb/PH18869?viewlocale=en_US

Since I've loaded the creative cloud my MacBook Pro keeps shutting down. Need suggestions.

SInce I loaded the creative cloud software my MacBook Pro keeps shutting down. Is there a reason for this?

There is not one specific program that it shuts down in, random shut downs and I could be in an Adobe application or another program. It may be be a coincidence, but my shut downs seems to have started after I installed Adobe's Creative Cloud. Apple now has my laptop exploring what may be causing my issues. Their first reaction was that it could be some sort of software conflict. I'm waiting on their diagnosis.

Macbook Pro random shut down whilst using battery

My Macbook Pro randomly shuts down whilst using battery power even though their is plenty of charge in the battery.
Any ideas??

does it do it when plugged in?
Also it sounds that there's a power failure and causing it to shutdown, I would get it serviced asap, the battery connector might be faulty.

Macbook Pro cannot shut down or restart

My Macbook Pro cannot shut down or restart by any means. I have to forcefully shut it down by pressing the shutdown button for a few seconds.
I was told this might be a system problem so I reinstalled the OS X system but the problem not solved.
This is very troubesome as the system update cannot be installed (because the required restart cannot be done).
Can anyone suggest me what I could do next?
Thank you in advance!
(To add on, my Apple manu seems not working as all. Not only the shut down/ restart function, but also the "About this mac" is not executing anything)

If this is happening now for the first time, press and hold the power button for a few seconds to force a shutdown, then press again briefly to restart.
