[QUOTE="chscag, post: 1417861, member: 46727"] I had that same MacBook for three years before I sold it. Never once had a problem playing HD video or anything else for that matter. Your MacBook could be overheating causing the machine to shut down. Go to the ifixit web site and look up the instructions for taking the machine apart. Once apart, clean the fan and generally around the CPU and heat sink. Buy a can of compressed air to do the cleaning. Hold the blades of the fan while blowing air around it. Also clean out the vents between the case opening and the back under the display. [/QUOTE]
