[QUOTE="dktaco, post: 973515, member: 138324"] Thank you! I did take my Macbook into the Genius bar in Brea, CA. They performed a stress test and it seemed fine. The fan was spinning as I heard it while it was on. They swapped batteries and even plugged in the power cord to the wall. He said it was probably an internal issue and I said "no crap." The reason why I say it is the "RSS" is because it can be 1 min. - 30 min. max and it shuts down and doesn't prompt me. It shut down all three times while I was there. How can I tell if it is hardware or software related? What can I do to check? And I guess I can do a backup (how do I do that)? I do have a ton of purchased music via iTunes and a ton of Photos on it. Thanks for the help! [/QUOTE]
