[QUOTE="chscag, post: 1901234, member: 46727"] Welcome to our forums. The thread you responded to is 4 ½ years old. Probably would have been better to start a new thread. The rebooting you're experiencing may be due to the heavier load you're placing on your 2010 MacBook Pro by attaching the external monitor. Random rebooting is almost always caused by bad memory or power supply problems. Even though the monitor has its own power supply it places a load on the graphics, thus affecting power output. Your MBP is going on 12 years old and is considered obsolete by Apple which means no help from them. It may be that your wife's monitor will not cause rebooting, you'll just have to test it for a period of time to see. [/QUOTE]
