[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 1417864, member: 56379"] I'm thinking the same thing as "chscag". Your MacBook may be overheating due to a non-working part...or just plain dirt/fuzz build-up...reducing cooling efficiency. The MacBook may be able to cool itself fine when doing less cpu & gpu intensive tasks...but HD video is pretty much as demanding as it gets...so the computer will get very hot even when the fans are working 100%. If the computer is dirty...then the MacBook WILL overheat...and automatically shutdown. - Nick [/QUOTE]
