MacBook Pro Random Resets

I've been having this problem recently where my macbook pro randomly resets every now and then. I've never been able to do it whilst in OSX, only in windows. So far its only happened whilst I'm playing games in Windows but even then only a few games that I own.
It happens whilst I'm playing world in conflict, medieval 2 total war but not during oblivion, company of heroes or supreme commander. So I'm not really sure what could be wrong.

I am having this problem too. Here are my preliminary thoughts on the problem. When I play Command and Conquer 3, the computer just shuts off. At first, I thought this had to do with the logic board. I had just gotten it replaced via AppleCare. So I read my console log and the computer shuts off ecause of "high mem tramps".
Because of this, then i thought it was my ram modules being bad. (I have Apple supplied ram. 2 gigs matched pair.) So i took the ram modules out. ran them individually, switched them. Still random shutdowns.
So then i tried to localize my problem with my external peripherals. I have a 250 gb lacie external hard drive triple interface as well as a 750 gb western digital mybook external hard drive pro edition.
I think this is where the problem lies. i've localized my problem to my WD MyBook Pro Edition II 750 gb hard drive. When I have it connected to my computer, I can't run anything that requires any strain on my graphics card. However, when I disconnect it from the computer, I can run things completely fine.
Having said this, I'm not sure if this is exactly my problem. If anyone else wants to weigh in on this discussion, PLEASE HELP!!!
NOTE: My computer resets when i try to run the itunes visualizer. I also have the itunes music folder set to my mybook hard drive.

  • Macbook Pro randomly reset...

    I went on my pro earlier today and when I lifted the screen up, the screen was all fuzzy (like white noise) in big squares all over the screen with some colors mixed in from my background. I had to hold the power button to reset because it was unresponsive. I dismissed the incident and went on working in Photoshop. It was fine for hours but then it randomly went to a bluish gray screen and sat there for about 30 seconds then it went back to normal except everything had been closed out of as if I had restarted it. Is this a rare occurrence or should I be worried? I really don't want to get this thing serviced, I just got it.

    Hi and welcome to Discussions. I would say that it is not a usual occurrence and if it happened to me I'd be down to the Apple store in a flash. Do take a digital picture of the screen so you can show it to the genius because you know that when you're down there it won't occur.

  • MacBook Pro 15" resets when Airport Utility opens

    My 2011 Macbook Pro randomly resets throughout the day.
    This seems to be only when on the internet and every time the Airport Utility opens.
    I've re-installed the software and switching the WiFi off will allow the computer to start.

    Thanks, Tim. I will try your suggestions. I've been tinkering on my own with this problem, and a pattern may be emerging. I was asking myself, why DID I have internet access from the MacBook Pro the other evening and at no other time through a wireless connection since the 10.6 upgrade, save the fleeting moments when AirPort has just been turned on? Well, that seems to be the only time that the MacBook was connected to AirPort FIRST.
    So, I turned AirPort off on this computer (the G5 tower that hasn't experienced problems) and toggled off and on AirPort on the problem machine. Internet access has again resumed on the laptop. After several hours of periodic usage, I turned AirPort back on on the G5, and both machines have been functioning well since.
    I suspect tomorrow will be a different story, unless I repeat these steps (I don't typically shut down the desktop machine overnight). We'll see.

  • Retina Macbook Pro randomly jumps to logon screen without warning

    My Retina Macbook Pro randomly jumps to the logon screen while I am using it. When I log back in some programs have stopped running and any unsaved work has gone. It has happened while I am not typing or touching the keyboard or mouse as well.

    I have the exact same problem with my Retina MBP. At first I thought it was occurring when I CMD+Tab-ed between apps but I've had it jump to the login screen without even toughing the computer. Very frustrating. Upon login I have to wait for apps to reload and I lose unsaved changes. Anyone have any advice?

  • 15" MacBook Pro randomly loses connection to my AirPort Express wi-fi network.

    My 15" MacBook Pro randomly loses connection to my AirPort Express wi-fi network. I have to switch off wi-fi on my Mac then switch on again to reconnect. Any reason why this random occurrence keeps happening which never happened before? Any solutions and fixes would also be welcomed.

    In the airport utility, you can alter the radio modes... and change the channels from automatic to a manual one.
    Hold down the Option key, and  click on your wifi icon, it will tell you what channels are currently being used on your OSX.

  • 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 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

  • Mid 2010 MacBook Pro randomly restarting

    Hello,
    I wanted to drop Apple an email regarding this issue, but they seem careless about customers living in countries with Apple resellers only and don't think they might need to get expert help via email. Better buy a PC next time. I hope I will at least find some help here. I also think my problem might apply to this: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4088
    Here is the letter:
    Dear Sir/Madam,
    I have a Mid 2010 15-inch MacBook Pro, on which I have been running Snow Leopard, Lion and Mountain Lion with no problems. But recently I have been working with my computer when suddenly screen turned black and the computer restarted. (Actually, when it restarted for first time it shut down before the startup sound, but booted up without problems after I turned it on via the power button.) Since it was the first time I didn't pay attention.
    Then after a few days it happened again, but this time the computer didn't seem like booting up again. When I finally got to the grey screen I tried safe booting with verbose mode, which sadly ended with the same restart after “DSMOS has arrived” line. From this I assume the problem won't lie in non-stock kernel extensions. I also tried resetting NVRAM with no success.
    I had a flash drive with stock Mountain Lion installer, succesfuly booted it up and let it run for a while, after about 15 minutes it shut down with the same black screen. From this I assume that the problem dosen't lie in my current Mountain Lion installation.
    From report logs I can tell two kernel extensions common to all the restarts: com.apple.NVDAResman, com.apple.nvidia.nv50hal; and four appearing only in some cases: com.apple.driver.AGPM, com.apple.GeForce, com.apple.iokit.IONDRVSupport, com.apple.iokit.IOGraphicsFamily.
    This made me suspicious about the dedicated Nvidia graphic card. I installed an utility called gfxCardStatus, which not only shows which card is currently in use, but also allows for force using of specific card. I also installed NovaBench to have some GPU-heavy benchmark available. When I run NovaBench, the computer switched from integrated to dedicated card with no problems, and the benchmark succesfuly finished. But when I tried forcing switch to any of the cards the computer restarted with the black screen. This made me suspicious about the logic board instead of specific graphics card.
    The problems also occurs when waking up form sleep. Sometimes it would wake up normally, but sometimes it would immidiately restart to a grey screen saying “Your computer restarted because of a problem. Wait a few seconds or press a key to continue starting up.”
    To summarize the problem, the computer restarts randomly and fails to wake up from sleep sometimes. I got it as a gift from my father, who lives in Slovakia and have bought it from local reseller. The problem is that I live in Czech Republic and I have some doubts regarding the quality of support at resellers. (Namely I am afraid they will say “See, it runs. There's no problem.”) Also I need to constantly work on a project for school competition, which is mostly done in Photoshop, and longer time without my computer would severely threaten the deadline. I would be very grateful to first have an opinion from Apple empolyee, who really has an in-depth knowledge of MacBooks and Mac OS X.
    Update: After writing this I tried resetting SMC, again with no success.
    Thanks in advance.
    Yours faithfully
    Samuel Novák

    I had already given my MacBook to dad, but in Slovakia they have horrible laws towards customers. The reseller has taken 2 weeks just to make a statement, which is ridiculous since I had sent the MacBook along with a detailed description of the problem and printed Apple article. It seems they have found the machine to be faulty and took another 30 days to fix it.
    I am more than happy to hear that Apple in this case promises to replace the logic board free of charge. It is a powerful machine and I don't want to replace it yet, but if I were about to pay for a new logic board I would consider buying a new laptop.
    Next time I would want to buy anything from Apple I would to one of official Apple stores in Austria, although it seem that not all the employees can diagnose certain issues the quality of service must be incomparable. These almost two months without MacBook, or Photoshop, have ruined my chances to participate in a countrywide student's projects competition, I must wait for the next year and that would be the last chance since I would be leaving high school.

  • Macbook Pro Randomly Enters Sleep Mode For A Few Seconds

    Hi All,
    My Macbook Pro has had this problem since a few months after I purchased it. While working or playing the laptop will randomly go into what seems like sleep mode. The screen turns off, I hear the hard drive stop and then a couple seconds later it starts back up on its own. Any Internet connection I had disconnects, but other than that it starts up as normal.
    The problem comes and goes and doesn't seem to be consistent with anything that I'm aware of. Sometimes it happens once, then doesn't happen for days. Often it will happen several times in a row over the course of an hour.
    I've called support and brought the laptop to the genius bar where they ran several tests, but were unable to figure anything out. Research online has shown similar issues with other users, but no solutions. The laptop is not stacked on anything magnetic, the issue occurs when running hot or cold and whether I'm on battery power or plugged in.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated. If this can't be resolved is it something I can bring to apple and get a replacement under my year warranty?

  • 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!

  • Macbook Pro Randomly Goes to Sleep and Wont Wake Up

    My Macbook Pro started having this problem a few months ago and it has gotten progressivly worse and worse. It will randomly go to sleep but I wont be able to wake it back up. The keys are lit up and the light on the front is pulsing, but no matter what I do it wont wake up. So I have to do a hard reset to turn it back on. This happens a few times a day so its pretty infuriating. I have read on other forums about people having this same problem but havent been able to find a solid solution.
    Here is what kind of Macbook I have:
    And here is the error report that I get once I restart my computer:

    Can anyone help me? Thanks in advance!

    Hey this was happening to me too! So i called apple care, i have a the Late 2011 Macbook Pro, and this is what they suggested:
    1. open system preferences
    2. open engery saver
    3. look at "Computer sleep" and move it over to a longer time period
              for instance I had mine at 5 minutes so thats why it would go to sleep all the time
         -now I set it to 25 minutes
    Hope that fixes your problems!
