My MacBook would be fine until I started doing more intensive work on it, then it would shut down. So sometimes it would run for a while with no problems, if I was just browsing the web or something.<BR>

The original poster (sorry I am mobile right now) should do one fo two things, probably both:<BR>
<BR>
1) Get thee to a copy of Apple Service Diagnostics (ASD) for your machine -- 2.5.7 I think? -- and run the test on the fan.<BR>
<BR>
2) Wiggle the cord on the AC adapter -- 1st from the brick and then from the connector that plugs into the machine -- and see if power is not interrupted.... or try another charger if available.<BR>
