Sounds like the RSD (Random ShutDown) problem rev1 MacBooks have suffered with, the board gets a bit hot, melts a wire, then it starts to thermal cut out at increasing intervals. Time for a new logic board.

Do you know if this helps?

If I had been able to browse the internet properly I could have found

If the SMC upgrade doesn't help I'll take it in tomorrow AM, this really isn't the best time for a dodgy computer with all the work I have on. I guess no time is a good time for a dodgy computer!

It works around the issue by ignoring the signal from the melted wire, IIRC. Which means you're susceptible to whatever it was the melted wire was meant to warn you about.
Better than rebooting, but certainly not a fix, just a workaround to get you to a service centre appointment.

Except it doesn't work... Was just replying to Jon and it shutdown again. Shorte messages are best at this point.

You may find warming is exactly what it has an excess of...
I can't make a recommendation as to where to send it as I'd have to declare an interest.

Ah, the wonders of usenet on google groups on a mobile phone!

It hasn't happened again yet, next time it does, though, I'll send it somewhere. Spoke to Western on the phone, advised to try looking on Apple's site - which I did and the SMC update. Just going to clone while it's happy.

That article says how to install it if the machine "is in a state where it will not remain on long enough to install the update".
Does resting the MB on something like a bag of frozen peas keep it any cooler for a bit?

I got it installed okay, then 10 min after reboot it shutdown again - however I restarted it 30 mins later and it stayed on for the rest of the night. Fingers crossed it will be okay until after the essay is due ;)
Thanks for the help everyone.

Keep app's (and processor intensive) apps down to a minimum to help keep the heat down, however when they get to the point they are shutting down that regular they really are on borrowed time.
