[QUOTE="chscag, post: 714436, member: 46727"] It does sound like it's heat related. Install the iStatPro widget or maybe even smcFanControl to keep watch on CPU temperatures. smcFanControl can also help to keep the CPU cooler by speeding up the exhaust fans in your MBP. Any overheating of the CPU will cause the machine to shut down or randomly reboot in order to prevent damage. There can be other reasons for random reboots but yours does appear to be heat related.
