I have a similar problem with my MacBookPro17" Intel Core Duo 2.16GHz
It has added memory to 2 GB (2 x 1 GB) 667 MHz
It seems to be overheating and quitting with a black screen.
What worries me is that the fan does not appear to be working - I should
be able to hear it' I believe.
Do you think a visit to Brihghton Apple Store's Genius might be the answer?
I think it might be due to dust or similar reason for blocking fan
operation?

Sounds more like a power management issue. Try the following :
1. SMC reset

2. Trash power management preferences & restart : Macintosh HD >

com.apple.PowerManagement.plist
3. PRAM Reset : alt + cmd + P + R when rebooting, hold until you
hear the startup chime a second time

Hi all
Hope you all had a nice summer.
I've never had a failed HDD before, so now wonder if there are tell
tale signs to diagnose in my 6 year old Macbook Unibody.
Every now and then, whether on AC or battery:
1. The screen goes blank
2. The HDD stops spinning
3. The sleep comes on
Sometimes it then:
A. Immediately wakes itself and carries on right where it left off
(even mid video playback)
B. Requires a press of the power button to wake it again
Is the HDD feeling unwell? Should I prepare to replace?
Or could it be a power supply fault, loose wire...? Any tips to diagnose?
I've run Disk Utility but presume that's unlikely to find/fix
anything like this?
Any help gratefully received,
Thanks all - and anybody 'in line' in Cupertino whilst reading this?! ;)
