Why does my MacBook spontaneously crash/restart?

My MacBook is suddenly restarting for no apparent reason. What follows is a detailed description of the issue and surrounding circumstances, various elements of which may or may not be relevant.
Several months ago I noticed my trackpad button had stopped clicking reliably. About two months ago I realized that the replacement laptop battery I was using (purchased on Amazon as genuine Apple product, but probably not really made by Apple) had begun to swell just enough to press up from the underside of the trackpad and prevent it from functioning properly. I removed the battery and have been using the machine with AC power so that the trackpad will work right. I intend to replace the battery with a new one directly from Apple, but given the cost I would like to make sure I can resolve my other issues first. I have included the above because it was roughly around the time I began using my MacBook without a battery that the symptoms below began. Using the computer without a battery may or may not be related these issues, but it is the only thing I can think of that changed anywhere near when the problems began.
Around this time, the backlight on the built-in display began to regularly (1-5 times per hour of use) shut itself off. The LCD stays on and can still be seen faintly in ambient light, but the backlight turns itself off as if I had turned the brightness all the way down using the F1 key. The brightness control itself seems to stay up, however, as the temporary fix I was able to find by researching the issue online is to turn the brightness all the way down (using the F1 key) and then back up again (using F2) and display brightness rises with my pressing the F2 display-brighter button. This would last anywhere from 1-1000 minutes (approximate) of use before shutting off (backlight) again and I would have to do the same thing. The length of time until the next shutoff seems to be shorter the brighter I have the display brightness set, but the symptom comes and goes in fits and spurts. Sometimes I can't keep it on more than 15 seconds and I just give up and drag whatever windows I'm working on to my external monitor (which functions fine throughout - I use the external and built-in displays side-by-side with a mini-DVI to DVI adapter), but other times it will go for a week just fine. This may or may not be related to my more serious issue below, but it began just in advance of the below and has continued to the present.
About the same time I stopped using the battery and started experiencing display backlight shutoffs, my computer began spontaneously crashing and restarting itself.   The first time it happened I was attempting to play a video (MP4 I think) from the hard drive in QuickTime Player. The video played for a few minutes, and then my computer crashed and began to restart itself. I let it restart and tried playing the video several more times, even using VLC instead of QuickTime as the player, but each time the computer would play a few seconds to a few minutes before dying and restarting. In the hours and days that followed, the machine would randomly restart every 1-100 (approximately) minutes of use. The shutdowns seemed more likely to occur when attempting to play video of any format, local or online, and for a while I couldn't even play a YouTube vid without the computer shutting down. Sometimes the machine would restart to my login screen, but then if I logged in right away it would begin the login process but then die and restart again. If I waited a while before logging in it seemed to "calm down" and would login successfully. The restarts were more likely during video playback, but not exclusive to this task.
I noticed that the restarts seemed to especially come in "clumps," and that allowing the machine a rest seemed to help. I also noticed that the fan frequently (but not always) sounded like it was running at full power at the time of restart. I concluded that the restarts were likely the result of overheating. I disassembled the machine in order to clean out the fan and heat sink. I didn't find much lint / blockage, but I thoroughly cleaned out what was there and did a cursory look around the internals for anything that might appear to be out of order, but I didn't find anything remarkable. The restarts continued, together with high fan speeds just before, so I downloaded iStat Pro to monitor internal temperatures in my status bar. I watched temps pretty closely, especially when I heard the fan, but the highest I ever saw was 80 degrees celsius on the CPU die. I don't know a lot about CPU temperature ranges, but from some cursory research it looks like that is way below the cutoff for an automatic shutdown (and besides, it seems like it should shutdown rather than restart for overheating). I watched to see if the restarts happened at the same temperature every time, but they varied widely, sometimes even occurring below 65 C, with or without high fan noise.
The issue persisted and was becoming a real problem for me, and I already had a HDD I was planning to upgrade to, so I decided to do the HDD swap and follow with a clean install of OSX (via download from Apple) rather than migrate from my old drive because I figured that would take care of any software issues. After I swapped out the HDD and did a clean install it was three days or so until the display backlight cut out as before, and about a week before the first sudden restart, which brings us to the present. Since that first restart, I've seen another 6 or so in the last 4 hours. I have also noticed an occasional failure to get past the grey screen on an intentional shutdown (not the sudden restarts) since replacing the HDD and reinstalling OSX, but that only happens on occasion. The only things I have installed since replacing the HDD other than the OS are MS Office for Mac 2011 (from CD) and then Flash and Silverlight plug-ins for Safari. I've also transferred over some files from my old HDD using a USB caddy and have opened some documents, but I haven't run any applications or installers besides the aforementioned. I haven't been able to transfer everything from the old HDD though, because the old drive (in a USB caddy) drive seems to spontaneously unmount, giving me the "the disk was not ejected properly" message and causing Finder to freeze up with a spinwheel of death and not recover after relaunching finder in the Force Quit dialog. This seems to lead to the manual shutdown stalling on the grey screen as well (when means I have to use the button to force full shutdown). This could just be a problem with my caddy though.
Here is what I have tried, in total:
- Restarted the machine
- Disassembled laptop and cleaned out the fan / heat sink
- Watched temperatures (no apparent correlation)
- Replaced HDD and reinstalled OSX from scratch (by download from Apple)
- Ran Apple Hardware Test (no problems found)
- Software Update ("your software is up to date")
- Checked for System Diagnostic Reports in Console following spontaneous restarts, found none present
- Reset NVRAM / PRAM
- Reset SMC
Those last two resets I did just prior to posting and so far I haven't seen the crash/restart, although I have seen the dead backlight. It hasn't been long though so we'll see. . .

One final note - when the system spontaneously restarts, it doesn't properly shutdown as it would if I initiated a restart, it just suddenly dies, black screen, and then I hear the startup tone and it begins to restart.
Obviously this is an older machine and I've gotten a lot of good use out of it, but I still need it and don't have the budget right now to replace it so any help you can offer would be much appreciated. I'm pretty much stymied.
Please let me know if anything is missing / unclear!

Why does my MacBook Pro crash?

Hi! So my MacBook Pro (13 in., Late 2011) has been acting strange over the past few months... I usually am using Google Chrome and when I go to a new website, it says in the loading bar, "Loading Catch". I gets stuck doing that so I try quitting the app. Instead, it says force quit. So I press that and then the dock locks up and leaves the chrome icon magnified. I try moving my mouse around but the dock froze. I then try to turn off the computer using normal methods, all of which fail. Then I force shut it off and then restart the computer. It used to happen every so often, to very frequent, like a few times a week. I thought I fixxed the problem by using Disk Utility to repair the HDD (the only problem that it found was that the HDD thought there was less memory available than there really was, like 100 GB less). It then worked fine. A few days later, I updated to mavericks. After I updated to mavericks, I feel like my computer is running out of RAM fast, like on M.L., I always had plenty of RAM available, but with Mavericks, I seem to always have less than 1 GB (btw, I have 4 GB installed). Anyway, the hangups/crashes usually happen a day (or in a rare occasion the same day) after I play a heavy game like Minecraft, Happy Wheels, or RollerCoaster Tycoon 3. I doesn't just happen when I'm using google chrome (although it usually happens while I'm using chrome), it could be any application. The app starts to load something and it takes awhile, so i try to close and reopen the app, and then the computer freezes. So I went to talk to an apple support person on their support chat services, but my support services expired and I would have to pay $19, which I didn't want to do at all. So I came here, so I can try and get answers from here. So if someone could please help me, that would be great! Thanks!!!

Back up all data immediately as your boot drive may be failing.
This diagnostic procedure will query the log for messages that may indicate a system issue. It changes nothing, and therefore will not, in itself, solve your problem.
If you have more than one user account, these instructions must be carried out as an administrator. I've tested them only with the Safari web browser. If you use another browser, they may not work as described.
Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
syslog -k Sender kernel -k Message CReq 'GPU D|I/O e|find tok|n Cause: -|timed? ?o' | tail | open -ef
Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
Launch the Terminal 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 Terminal in the icon grid.
Paste into the Terminal window (command-V).
The command may take a noticeable amount of time to run. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign (“$”) to appear.
A TextEdit window will open with the output of the command. Normally the command will produce no output, and the window will be empty. If the TextEdit window (not the Terminal window) has anything in it, post it — the text, please, not a screenshot. The title of the TextEdit window doesn't matter, and you don't need to post that.

Why does my macbook keep crashing after login and sleep mode?

For some time I've experienced my MacBook restart shortly after turning it on or awakening it from sleep. Today it did it repeatedly several times.
Anyone knows why?

You might be having hardware issues with your GPU. But, this may just be a software problem. Start by doing the following:
Reinstalling Lion/Mountain Lion Without Erasing the Drive
Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the main menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu.
Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion: Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion and click on the Continue button.
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.

Why does my Macbook Pro crash almost immediately when I'm offline?

My Macbook Pro (late 2007 if i'm right) crashes randomly, whether I'm using a program or not. Suddenly the whole screen freezes (I see a black mouse and not the spinning ball of death). So I'm forced to use the hard restart.
It started a while ago, when I still was using Snow Leopard. So I did a clean install, and had to buy Mountain Lion. Ever since the clean install there were 3 software updates. But still I'm having the crash problem.
After this last update to 10.8.5 I'm noticing that when I turn WiFi off it almost immediately crashes. And sometimes when I reboot I don't have the time to turn on WiFi again or it already has crashed.
Though I remember that my mac also crashed when I was using the ethernet cable and when i was using WiFi. Only now with the offline modus it seems that crashing is the only thing he can do.
This is what I already tried:
-Making a second account as administrator and start up in the safe mode: but still crashes when I go offline.
-using disk utility to veridy and repair disk permissions: all good.
-NVRAM reset
-SMC reset
I don't know what kind of information anyone needs, but:
Processor 2,2 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
Geheugen 4 GB 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM
Videokaart NVIDIA GeForce 8600M GT 128 MB
Software OS X 10.8.5 (12F45)
And my harddrive has 56 gb free right now.

Thank you for your fast answer.
Even though I don't understand the connection between working offline and my videocard I believe you because I see sometimes blocked images when something tries to load or when i scroll down, mostly in photoshop. So I'm considering buying a new computer.
I tested my harddrive a while ago and it still seemed ok. (still i back up all the important stuff constantly).
Though I wanted to ask if you know if the Nvidia is a part of my logic board. I had my logic board replaced in 2010 because of an Nvidia error. So that part isn't that old. Still I can imagine that it doesn't work well anymore with other hardware or software on my computer.

Why does my Macbook want to restart?

About 5 times now (the first day) a message pops up and it is see through and says. You must restart your computer! in about 6 different languages. Is that normal? Thanks!

My Macbook always wants to restart when I plug in my camera to download photos with iPhoto. It did that always and then I realised I hadn't downloaded the Nikon PictureProject yet on my new Macbook. I did this and then plugged my camera in again and the Macbook crashed again...The same restart message appeared, but afterwards I also got the following message this time :
The application "PictureProject" could not be launched because of a shared library error: "<PictureProject><PictureProject><Zelkova3>"
Here's what I found in the panic library - please help!!!

Why does my macbook pro crash when I connect my external hard drive?

When I connect my external hard drive to my macbook pro (with fire wire) it crashes my computer... Any thoughts or help??

Thanks for the response. I tried both methods with the same end result.
I'm in safe mode now. It doesnt show up as being plugged in. It worked fine when connected with the USB-I went to disk utilities and repaired the disk.
I tried to plug in with the firewire, again and it shut down my computer..
Any other suggestions?

Why does my MacBook keep crashing?

I have a mid 2010 MacBook Pro that's currently running lion. In the last several months my MacBook has been repeatedly crashing. Sometimes once in a week and sometimes three times within twenty minutes. When it crashes the screen cuts off and the entire laptop becomes unresponsive. I've installed security software that has found and removed malware on the machine. Also just in case of dying RAM cards I upgraded them this past weekend. It's still crashing. I've sent in nearly 100 reports to apple and have yet to get a response or any other form of aid. I'm so tired of the issue happening. I just want it to stop. If anyone has suggestions or can help in any way I would highly appreciate it.

Great choice on RAM...as far as I'm concerned the only way to go. Virus software usually slows Macs down and is largely not needed....maybe only to protect e-mail that was forwarded to you and you are passing on. My ISP has Anti Virus included for that purpose.
Here's a nice thread on the issue.
Try using Disk Utility to do a Disk Repair, as shown in this link, while booted up on your install disk for OS 10.6.8 and under. If you are running 10.7 or 10.8 run Disk Repair from Disk Utility on your Recovery System. It shows you how in the link.
You could have some directory corruption. Let us know what errors Disk Repair reports and if DU was able to repair them. This could just be a start in repairs and you may need a better utility to finish the job.
Then Repair Permissions.
No need to report any Permissions errors........we all get them.

Why does my Macbook Aluminium crash when plugged in?

My Macbook Aluminium had been running fine until a few hours ago. I replaced the battery earlier this year. I went to plug in the charging cord and the light turned from red to green even though it wasn't fully charged and then my computer turned itself off. I tried this a second time after turning the computer back on and it did the same thing. I took out the battery, put it back in, let it rest. It's working now, but I'm sure as soon as i go to charge it, it will turn off again. Also, I'm not in the US so it's hard to find tech support in person. Any ideas on what's happening or how to fix it?

Have you tried resetting the System Management Controller? That is a good first step for power related issues such as this.
Best of luck.

Why does my MacBook Pro Force Restart After I Manually Shut it Down?

I don't understand. At night when I shut down my computer, the force restart screen comes up and its killing me. I always have external HD's plugged in, so I know this is not good for them either. Please help!

I would recommend that you run your Disk Utility. You can find this under Finder<Applications<Utilities and then Disk Utility. I have had fore restarts happen to me and after running this it went away. Just make sure you select the hard drive you suspect is giving you issues.
Hope this helps! - Nate

Why does my MacBook stop working when I tr to plug in my iPad to do some file syncing?

Why does my MacBook stop working when I try to plug in my iPad to do some file syncing? This is the second time I have had it happen to my MacBook. The computer just shuts down and cannot be restarted. When I plug it into the charger I get a faint Green light where it plugs into the MacBook. When I took the computer into my local Mac store last time this happened (Nov 2012) they reckoned they couldn't find anything wrong with it. Has any body else encountered a similar issue?

That would be a filter, yes. Didn't know Verizon handed out phone/DSL wall split filters. I would honestly take a look at the physical jack it is connected to for corrosion or lose connections as I doubt the filter is bad out of the box. Anyways, what was the original problem you had with the Phone and DSL that prompted Verizon to send out a filter?

Why is my MacBook Pro **crashing** changing to a blue screen with lines or distorted screen when I open logic or Ableton Live

Why is my MacBook Pro **crashing** changing to a blue screen with lines or distorted screen when I open logic or Ableton Live. Then I have to restart by long pressing the power button. Can somebody plz help me

What you describe sounds like a hardware issue. Unfortunately, you'll need to get that checked out by Apple. If you have an Apple Store near you, make an appointment with the Genius Bar and take the machine in for evaluation.

Why does my macbook pro stop loading the webpage (in safari) every time I try to access netflix or youtube?

Back up all data before proceeding.
This procedure will unlock all your user files (not system files) and reset their ownership, permissions, and access controls to the default. If you've intentionally set special values for those attributes on any of your files, they will be reverted. In that case, either stop here, or be prepared to recreate the settings if necessary. Do so only after verifying that those settings didn't cause the problem. If none of this is meaningful to you, you don't need to worry about it, but you do need to follow the instructions below.

If you have more than one user, and the one in question is not an administrator, then go to Step 2.
Triple-click anywhere in the following line on this page to select it:
sudo find ~ $TMPDIR.. -exec chflags -h nouchg,nouappnd,noschg,nosappnd {} + -exec chown -h $UID {} + -exec chmod +rw {} + -exec chmod -h -N {} + -type d -exec chmod -h +x {} + 2>&-
Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
Launch the built-in Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Paste into the Terminal window by pressing command-V. I've tested these instructions only with the Safari web browser. If you use another browser, you may have to press the return key after pasting.
You'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. Type carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before you can run the command. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator.
The command may take several minutes to run, depending on how many files you have. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign ($) to appear, then quit Terminal.
Step 2 (optional)
Take this step only if you have trouble with Step 1, if you prefer not to take it, or if it doesn't solve the problem.
Start up in Recovery mode. When the OS X Utilities screen appears, select
Utilities ▹ Terminal
from the menu bar. A Terminal window will open. In that window, type this:
res
Press the tab key. The partial command you typed will automatically be completed to this:
resetpassword
Press return. A Reset Password window will open. You’re not going to reset a password.
Select your startup volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name) if not already selected.
Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if not already selected.
Under Reset Home Directory Permissions and ACLs, click the Reset button.
Select
 ▹ Restart
from the menu bar.

Why does my mac air always restart when I open it in our university?

Why does my mac air always restart when I open it in our university?
This has been always bothering me for some time already. Whenever I open my macbook air in our university it always warns me to restart my device. When I do the same thing happens over and over again until it reached 27 reports.

I'd make a sound too if i was put into a bag haha.
Only thing i could think of it it has a mind of its own or your putting your computer to sleep. Try shutting down your mac before placing in your bag and see if that changes things.

Why does my MacBook Pro and Mac Pro keep freezing?

Why does my MacBook Pro freeze?
MacBook Pro
2.4 GHz intel Core2 Duo
4BB 1067 MHz DDR3
OSX 10.6.8 Snow Leopard
I turned it on and I went to safari to look things up. Safari froze and then the whole thing became unresponsive - the mouse could move the cursor but it couldn't open any programmes.
Tried safe boot several times. No help.
Tried to repair disc permissions. The first time it got a little way then said 'user stopped repair' or something - though I didn't touch it. Tried again it got all the way through and said 'repairs complete'. But no help.
Couldn't clear cache etc as couldn't get to the relevant part to do it.
Opened in single user mode. Ran the fsck -fy thing twice. First time it said both “The volume appears to be OK” AND “FILE SYSTEM WAS MODIFIED.” In 2nd run it just said “The volume appears to be OK”. No help.
Booted it up from the Superduper bootable backup version on a USB external drive. It seemed to boot up ok but then tried to click on something and the same thing happened - spinning beach ball and it just hung.
Erased hard drive and reinstalled snow leopard but it just does the same thing. Suggesting a hardware issue not software but...the Eerie thing is, we tried backup version on boyfriends Mac Pro and it worked fine on there but 24hrs later his Mac Pro has got exactly the same screen freezing, unresponsive issue. Could this suggest there's something evil lurking on my back up? Can't get an appointment at Genius Bar until next week and need to get some work done, so hoping someone might have some ideas?
Cheers

... does Apple products work much better with using Apple routers?
While a genuine Apple router is likely to result in success, the reason for having one instead of another product is that it eliminates a lot of uncertainty. For example, we do not know the model D-Link product you have so no one is in position to speculate what the problem might be. Also, it makes support on this forum easier since there are only three AirPort models to choose from and they all work more or less the same.
Generally speaking your iPods, iPads, MacBooks, and AppleTV ought to work with any router though, provided it is fairly recent and meets accepted industry standards. If in doubt you can purchase an AirPort Base Station, which comes with 90 days of free telephone support. If it does not result in any improvement for you, you can always return it for a complete refund. The return period is 14 days and be sure to keep all material - receipt, box, manuals, etc...
If you elect this option be sure to follow its installation instructions, the most important of which is to power down your modem prior to connecting the AirPort Extreme, Express, or Time Capsule. All your other equipment will need their network settings adjusted to "forget" the D-Link network and connect to the new one.
