MBP (Christmas '09) 13inch keeps getting prompted to restart after closing a program; mainly Safari

  Hello all,
      I got my MBP 13 inch Christmas, 2009 and loved it.  Everything was immaculate up until about 5 mos. ago.  Many wierd things have been occurring.  For example, I have had MULTIPLE instances where I would be on Safari v10.6.8 and would scroll down or click a link and would either first see the spinning wheel after which it immediately shut down, or would notice that it was taking a while to do whatever, and then shut down (Safari, that is).  I would re-open Safari and within the same time that it took to first shut itself off, it would do it again. and again. and again.  I would then usually restart the system, after which everything was fine.  On other multiple occurrances, when I would close down a program (mainly Safari... same version), I would get back to the desktop, and would, within seconds, see the "Tinted Curtain" as I call it, where the screen goes almost fully dark from top to bottom, mandating that it needed to restart, whereupon after restarting, I would get the disclaimer saying "Your computer shut down because of a problem.  Would you like to report it",Da Da Da...  I have always kept up with all updates to programs (that I use) when prompted to do so by the 'software update' thing (mainly Safari, ITunes, and Security updates), and have never downloaded anything wierd, or not authorized by Apple Co.  If anyone has any info or suggestions as to what may be going on or how to fix this issue, I would greatly appreciate it.
