[QUOTE="wyattb, post: 784584, member: 64194"] Hi all. Every now and then when I'm typing something, the "Do you really want you shut down your computer?" message comes up, and I think maybe I've pressed a combination of keys to make the message come up. So I press "Cancel," not wanting the computer to shut off, the message goes away. then about five seconds later, the computer dies and I have to start it up again. It doesn't shut down properly, it just completely blacks out. Then, upon start-up, it makes a very loud beeping tone. This has happened enough times that I think it's not a coincidence of key pressing but some sort of problem with the computer. Then, as of last night, it started booting up randomly. I shut it off before I went to bed and in a 3 hour time period, it booted itself randomly twice. It even does this if the cover is closed! When doing these random boot-ups, it also makes the rather loud beeping tone. Edit: my MacBook is the previous-generation MacBook Pro, running OS X 10.5... The computer is not noticeably slower nor do I have any other problems with it, but since I do love it I'm of course very worried! If anyone could tell me what the problem may be or quell my distress it would be much appreciated. Thanks! [/QUOTE]
