MacBook Pro - Shutdown... On it's own

My 17" MBP has been giving me problems lately. It sometimes decides to turn off on it's own. It's not like a normal shutdown either. It just turns off like a television if you were to unplug it... instantly.

I have read some other threads that seem similar and the common response seems to be the battery. The battery life indicates that there is a charge. But what I did notice is that it usually happens somewhere between 30-40% charge.

any ideas?

thanks,
kurt
