[QUOTE="komina, post: 1901189, member: 410532"] Hi all, awesome advice from everyone, thank you! I am having the same problem with a *still going strong* MBPro 2010. I also use an adaptor from mini port to VGA cable to an external monitor. Without any peripherals my computer works great. With the external monitor plugged in, it reboots randomly. I believe with the USB port next to the mini port, it reboots as well 1. changed cable (to vga-mini, which doesn't require an adaptor, to test both) and it went better for a bit, but reboots on its own randomly again. 2. using my external projector (granted, for shorter periods) never reboots 3. using my wife's monitor for a few minutes now, with a direct mini to hdmi cable (no adaptors), we will see if this solves it. I guess it's a hardware issue... [/QUOTE]
