Mid-2010 Macbook Pro shuts down randomly while plugged in!

This has been happening on and off for a couple weeks now and tonight it started doing it every 5 minutes the computer was in use.  I've noticed that it is not doing it now that my iPhone 4 is not being charged off of it.  But in the past it turned off when the phone was not hooked up to it.  Anyone have this problem?  I noticed in one of my logs that it said something about low memory but the computer had just turned on and only firefox was running since it comes on at start up.  I don't know if I should take it in because the issue may not replicate while I'm there.

    You have the mid-2010 problem. There's an issue with the graphics module on that machine. There was a program in place to replace the motherboard within 3 years of purchase, but you're probably outside of that. Some folks have supposedly gotten theirs changed outside of that period, so you can try.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4088?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US
    What you can do to use it is download gfxcardstatus from http:gfx.io and force the graphics to Intel. That will lessen the panics at the expense of graphics speed.
    You may be eligible for a depot repair, which is a flat rate of about $310. Ask at the Genius Bar. Take along a printout of your panic.

  • MacBook Pro shutting down randomly/violently

    I have had several issues with my MacBook Pro in the last year or so. At completely random times when I'm using it, it will shut down in one of about four ways. The screen will either change to just one color (has been pink, yellow, green, orange, blue, black, etc), the whole screen will be filled with small horizontal lines of varying bright colors, a box will come down telling me that my computer needs to restart, and to hold the power button if it does not automatically, or it will turn an off-white color and have what looks like code along one side. It usually comes up with a report after it restarts. I've taken it to the Genius Bar several times, but it never crashes while it is there, so no one can help.
    Any idea what this could be? It usually doesn't happen very often, once or twice a week, but lately it has been getting worse.

    I'm getting the exact same problem here. "kdenby" got it pinpoint correct. Those are the 4 ways in which my macbook pro has been shutting down randomly every single day. It passed the point of tolerance many months ago.
    I've had my macbook pro 13'' for 2.5 years and this started happening about 6 months ago. Not very often at first, but now it occurs every half hour. On certain occasions, the computer shuts down right after arriving at the log in screen.
    This is becoming rather vexing, as I cannot do anything productive on my laptop. Please take a look at this issue.

  • Macbook Pro shutting down randomly but very frequently

    Hi guys,
    I am having an issue with my unibody macbook pro. Its the 15" 4gb ram, 2.8GHz Core 2 Duo version.
    Basically the macbook just shuts down sometimes...like I'll be doing something and it just TURNS OFF!
    I have reset the SMC controller, my batt is fine- I just dont understand what is happening?
    As I typed this, it happened, but in a slightly different way...the screen goes grey and you get the typical "you need to restart your computer bu holding the power button" etc
    The error I got from just now is:

    I cannot really afford to take my computer to apple atm as I rely on the macbook for work and I have some real important stuff to be getting on with and cannot be without it right now.
    Please can someone help me so I can sort out this really annoying mess!!!
    Many thanks guys

    Welcome to Apple Discussions
    Did you upgrade the RAM yourself or is this as you bought it ?
    The kernel panics seem to be caused by any issue with the CPU's so this might not be user-fixable and you may need to call AppleCare and have this fixed under warranty (if it is stock/Apple RAM)
    +panic(cpu 0 caller 0x28d59c): "pmapflushtlbs() timeout: " "cpu(s) failing to respond to ilterrupts, pmap=0x84b6e0 cpustorespond=0x2"@/SourceCabhe/xnu/xnu-1504.7.4/osfmk/i386/pmap.c:3548+
    All I can suggest is that you try the following and see if it helps (it can't hurt)
    Boot holding down Apple/S and don't let go until you see scrolling text.
    When that stops and you see a root#: prompt enter
    fsck -fy
    Let it run through all the checks and repairs.
    If it fails first time, at any time, or finds and fixes a fault - run the command again and keep doing so (some fixes can take several passes) until it says "Appears to be OK" then enter
    reboot

  • Macbook pro shuts down randomly (sometimes it beeps)

    My computer has been having issues randomly freezing and then shutting down. Sometimes it beeps 3 times and then repeats those beeps until I force it to shut down. I took it to an apple authorized dealer and they found that my hardrive was failing, but not any other problems. After I got it back I download the OS X mavericks upgrade (This computer is an early 2011, 15" macbook pro, unibody).
    From searching it seems from the beeping that it is a RAM issue. I have tried reseating the RAM and using only one card at a time. After a few days it continues to its hold habits.
    It works best when it is on a solid table top and it is not moving. When I move it, sometimes with even the most gentle touch, it continues these issues.
    I ran an apple hardware test and it did not detect any issues, however the problem still prosits.

    Hey! I tried re-installing the OS but it didn't fix it. I called Apple Support and they sent me an OS update and that didn't work either. I went to a friend who knows a lot about computers, and he suggested that it could be a problem with the RAM memory. He downloaded memtest for me (http://www.memtest.org/), ran it and indeed, the test caught some problems with at least one of the memories. I then took it to the Genius Bar in the Apple Store to get it fixed. They had to take it away, though, because they need to run some more thorough tests to see what exactly is wrong with it, since changing the memory might not solve the problem. I'm waiting for them to return my computer, so until then I won't be able to tell you if this worked. It seems too much of a coincidence that this happened right after I upgraded to Mountain Lion (especially if other people are also having this issue after an upgrade...). Good luck!

  • Mid-2010 MacBook Pro 15 inch Randomly Restarting

    This started happening several months ago.  It would only happen when the laptop was opened after being closed for a while and having gone into standby.  When it started up, I would sign in and about 10 seconds later it would shut down, as if I were holding the power button, then just start back up.  Most programs would be reopened and I would get a message saying something along the lines of "Your computer had to restart because of a problem."  But now it will restart at any time.  It seems to be comlpetely random.  Its happened 4 times today and its only 2pm.  Its just getting worse with each passing day.  What do you think could be the problem?  I checked the batter status and it says "Normal".  Is this a common problem?  Besides this major problem, its been fine until now.   I would appreciate any help I can get to help fix this probelm. 

    It looks like the same problem my friend! your are lucky. Apple has a program for this machines... But for MBP 15¨ (early 2011).
    well, look at this:

  • Macbook Pro shuts down unexpectedly while on battery

    My Macbook Pro will shutdown without warning when the battery level gets somewhere around 50%. This system is only 1 year old and the battery information shows a cycle count of 163. Is this the standard lifespan of a Macbook battery these days? Is anyone else experiencing this after one year?

    Hi !
    I have the same problem with my new Macbook Pro 17. Right now I am trying the described calibration procedure but I am not sure if can do this right. Step 4 in ths procedure tells me to
    "Continue to keep your computer on until it goes to sleep. Save all your work and close all applications when the battery gets very low, before the computer goes to sleep."
    But my computer never goes to sleep when the battery is low. It always shuts down when the battery reaches about 25 %. Will the calibration procedure still work ?
    What frightens me is the output of the System Information (sorry all in german) :

    It tells me that my full capacity is 9396 mAh. Shouldn't this be something like 12000 mAh ? At least this is what I read in other posts. Will this value also be influenced by the calibration procedure ?

    In the middle of various things my laptop randomly freezes up for a few seconds then a white screen appears that says "your computer was restarted because of a problem.....". This is incredibly bothersome and I wish I knew what the problem is. It does this about 2 to 4 times in a workday. Please someone help me!!
    Im not sure but I think it started happening since I upgraded to Mavericks... could be the problem. Anyone with a similar problem got it fixed by reverting back to mountain lion?
    Here are my report notes:

    Restart the computer. It may be necessary to uninstall manually:
    Uninstalling Software: The Basics
    Most OS X applications are completely self-contained "packages" that can be uninstalled by simply dragging the application to the Trash.  Applications may create preference files that are stored in the /Home/Library/Preferences/ folder.  Although they do nothing once you delete the associated application, they do take up some disk space.  If you want you can look for them in the above location and delete them, too.
    Some applications may install an uninstaller program that can be used to remove the application.  In some cases the uninstaller may be part of the application's installer, and is invoked by clicking on a Customize button that will appear during the install process.
    Some applications may install components in the /Home/Library/Applications Support/ folder.  You can also check there to see if the application has created a folder.  You can also delete the folder that's in the Applications Support folder.  Again, they don't do anything but take up disk space once the application is trashed.
    Some applications may install a startupitem or a Log In item.  Startupitems are usually installed in the /Library/StartupItems/ folder and less often in the /Home/Library/StartupItems/ folder.  Log In Items are set in the Accounts preferences.  Open System Preferences, click on the Accounts icon, then click on the LogIn Items tab.  Locate the item in the list for the application you want to remove and click on the "-" button to delete it from the list.
    Some software use startup daemons or agents that are a new feature of the OS.  Look for them in /Library/LaunchAgents/ and /Library/LaunchDaemons/ or in /Home/Library/LaunchAgents/.
    If an application installs any other files the best way to track them down is to do a Finder search using the application name or the developer name as the search term.  Unfortunately Spotlight will not look in certain folders by default.  You can modify Spotlight's behavior or use a third-party search utility, EasyFind, instead.
    Some applications install a receipt in the /Library/Receipts/ folder.  Usually with the same name as the program or the developer.  The item generally has a ".pkg" extension.  Be sure you also delete this item as some programs use it to determine if it's already installed.
    There are many utilities that can uninstall applications.  Here is a selection:
        1. AppZapper 2.0.1
        2. AppDelete 3.2.6
        3. Automaton 1.50
        4. Hazel
        5. AppCleaner 2.1.0
        6. CleanApp
        7. iTrash 1.8.2
        8. Amnesia
        9. Uninstaller 1.15.1
      10. Spring Cleaning 11.0.1

  • Mid 2010 Macbook Pro 15" Random Restarts

    My Mid 2010 Macbook Pro 15" restarts randomly, this has been happening for quite a while now, but more so recently than ever before.
    I don't think I"m losing any data, but it's a bother when I'm trying ot study or do anything productive for that matter.
    There are times when it works like a charm for extended periods of time, but if it means anything, it seems to happen more when I move it, although it is not exclusive to that.
    I use a plug in keyboard and mouse, and I have my laptop on a stand, so I don't belive it's a hardware issue, although I might be mistaken.
    Here are the details of the Error Report:

    I hope someone can help me out! Thanks!

    I have an appointment set up to see if they will fix mine.  Hopefully it is a "recall" level repair as my MBP is out of warranty.
    I previously thought my issue was a SSD I put in the computer followed by a 500GB drive retrofit into the SuperDrive bay.
    After much troubleshooting I put the original drives (500GB and SuperDrive) back into the MBP, reinstalled OS X, and installed one app that I found caused a Kernel Panic (KP) without fail (Hallmark Card Studio [HMCS])*
    As soon as I ran the app I got a KP.  So while the computer still has an issue am glad that it is not the SSD (because I want to put that speed demon back in once the video card is fixed).
    Other curiosities was when the computer would KP: I played BOTH Portal games over the Winter Solstice holiday season and neither one KPd the Mac once.  But fiddling around in iPhoto, Pixelmator, and other graphics intensive apps would.  Strange.
    I will report back with what Apple does (the appointment is March 5th, 2013).
    -Murph
    *My father and bride both have Mountain Lion (like me) running on their Macs (iMac and Air respectively) and can run HMCS with no KP issues.

  • My 15" Macbook Pro, shuts down by it self (Random occurrence).

    My 15" Macbook Pro, shuts down (randomly) by it self, some times it will not turn on, and some other times (very rarely) the fans go on “very loudly” the second I turn it on. But the computer, does not turn on at all, even with the battery fully charged and the fans runing full blast.
    Some other times, it will not wake up. It will only turn on or wake up if connected to the power adapter, even if the battery is fully charged.
    I have already reset (a couple times) de firmware, the smc and he pmu and the problem persists.
    Al this goes on randomly and unpredictably. Some times it works just fine for 4 or 5 days and the suddenly something happens.
    I also think that some times the computer runs extremely hot.
    PLEASE HELP!!!!!!

    I have the same thing happening with a new macbook I bought my wife and I called apple today and after going back and forth between apple care and apple customer service they are shipping me out a new replacement macbook as it is less than 30 days since I bought it. I am waiting for their email with the Fed ex info so I can send this one back and then they will send out the new one.
    If it is still in warranty I suggest you call Apple customer service and let them know how bad it is and insist on a new one!
    This one also reboots at the slightest movement and it took me several tries to finally log in on it tonight to delete all the user accounts before I send it back!
    Hopefully the replacement one is glitch free!

  • Mid 2010 Macbook Pro "Your Computer was restarted because of a problem"

    Hi guys,
    Ever since I upgraded to Mountain Lion my Mid 2010 Macbook Pro has been randomly restarting itself and showing a grey sceen with the text "Your computer was restarted because of a problem."
    I've googled and read all sorts of things saying remove everything from Login Items, it still happens. Everything I've tried has done nothing. Just in case it helps, here is my latest kernel panic log from Console:

    It looks as if you may have the dreaded 'bad GPU' that shipped with some versions of the 2010 model. See - http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4088?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US.
    Use the "Contact" Apple techs link and see if your model may be one affected. If it is, you'll qualify for a free logic board replacement from Apple.
    Good luck,

  • Mid-2010 MacBook Pro '13 Dead.

    So I've had an issue for the past week with my Mid 2010 MacBook Pro 13-inch. For a little while, it has been losing the time, and shut down randomly a few times, but last sunday, it shut down, and wouldn't boot back up. When I press the power button, I get no signs of life, but a very, very quiet 'ticking' noise (only when held down). Not even the light on the front comes on.
    I tried disconnecting the battery, and booting with just the power cord. Again, nothing. I even let the laptop drain overnight, with the battery disconnected, still, nothing.
    When I plug in the power cord, the light goes orange, but as soon as I press the power button, it goes straight back to green for around 15-20 seconds.
    I've got no idea how to sort this, and it's a pretty big problem. I have considered a trip to the Apple Store, but it's waaayyyy out of warranty, so I'm not sure they'd particularly be able to do anything. Any ideas?
    Many Thanks, George.

    The best thing you can do is take it to an Apple storegenius bar for diagnosis by thetechs, that part of the visit is free.  That way you will have a definitive answer to the problem.  And then make some choices as to repair.
    Go to Apple Retail Store at the bottom of this page, Genius Bar in the upper right of the page that opens, Make a Reservation top center of the next page that opens.  Appointments help avoid standing around waiting too long.
