I closed the lid to put it to sleep and then I notice the apple light up and off then I heard the restart chime. This all happened with the lid down. Should I be worried? I checked the disk and permissions and everything is fine.
thanks

It is rather random ... it's probably just a one-off and we could speculate as to what may have caused this reboot, but I think it best to just keep an eye on things and if it ever occurs again just post back ...

everything is probably fine... but just in case there is something wrong BACK UP YOUR DATA. it will be worth it if there is a problem...

I second this advice and add that you shouldn't wait until you have a perceived problem before doing so.

Everything has been fine since yesterday. THis happened only once before and again yesterday. I have been rather busy with school so I haven't had time to shop. Tomorrow I am buying a WD 500GB drive. It also happened to my buddy once as well.

Thanks bro's
