Macintouch has a very helpful thread:

http://macintouch.com/readerreports/macbook/topic4265.html

and I'm sure there's lots of good info on Apple's Discussion board. From a quick perusal of macintouch, it looks like the problem is often heat-related and fixes have included logic board replacement, heat sink replacement, heat sensor problems (vide infra). Other things that appear to have worked sometimes are removing third party RAM and/or reseating the RAM. Also, throttling the CPU back (this was also suggested as a fix for MBP noise issues until Apple finally isolated the problem and initiated logic board swaps).

All of the above is a summary of what I've read. I'm using a MacBook Pro, so I've had OTHER (noise) problems. My suspicion is that once Apple really figures out the culprit, they will do a "silent recall" like they did for MBPs with the CPU whine--they simply posted a tech note that said that owners who were experiencing noise problems with their MBP should contact Apple for repair.

Thus, the problem was the machine was getting way too hot and then shut down (that was my first time to send my machine in which caused the logic board replacement). However, the heat sensor was still reading the hardware as too hot and thus shut the machine off.
