I'm seriously about to cry. I've only had this 2.2 SR Macbook Pro for 10 days. And yesterday it started having random shutdowns.

So far it seems to only be when I'm on battery. The screen will suddenly go grey and a window will say "your computer needs to be shutdown, please hold down the power key" (or something to that effect). So its done it three times so far, and when it does it takes like 10-15 minutes to restart (just has the circle thing for a REALLY long time).

Its really frustrating because the only reason I spent 2k on this damn thing is because I thought macs didn't do this. And if its going to do the same ****ing thing as a PC then I'm just going to spend half as much on a PC which I can troubleshoot myself.

So anyone have any suggestions on what could be causing this? If this is going to be a frequent occurrence then this is going back tommorow. But I <3 it so much I'd really rather not.

Random shutdowns are most likely a sign that a hardware component is seriously damaged. In 7 years, I've never had a random shutdown on my Mac.

Yup, hardware. It might have had a loose connection somewhere when the final components were installed.
