[QUOTE="pww-blair, post: 1636455, member: 342263"] I had a similar problem with my 2009 imac..... Random shutdowns for no apparent reason. I found that I had an enormous number of files saved to the desktop (screen shots, etc). When I cleaned off about 100 files, the problem went away. I have no idea what the problem actually was (or what tidying up my bad desktop habits did or didn't do). But who knows..... Maybe there was a corrupt files on the desktop and I just got lucky.
