MacBook shutting down?
For those Mac users out there, there is a problem several MacBook users are facing of their systems shutting down randomly.
There is a website out about the shutdowns where people describe their nightmare stories. Also on this site is a few examples of fixes to the problem which is more important than the problem.
One MacBook user has solved his problem by booting with speedstep enabled that prevents his CPU from going faster than 1GHz. Another user has had the front panels and heatsink replaced along with some other parts and it is working for him. A German site suggests that it has to do with a shortcircuit caused by contact between a heatsink and heat sensor cable. The cable melts and shortcircuits the system. Apple has stated there to be working on a solution but none is available yet.
