Macbook pro Problem

[Tonys]

Hi guys, can anyone help?

My Macbook Pro just asked me to shut it down, the actual phrase was;
"you need to restart your computer. Hold down the power button until it turns off, then press the power button again."

Anyone had this happen to theirs?

Or anyone got any idea what the problem could be?

Its the second time this has happened in the last 3 days.

Updates ?

Ill look for one now.

Not long had one, got the App store.

Nope. Its your RAM its loose. It gets dislodged sometimes in transit, you just have to take it out and make sure its seated properly. Easy to do yourself.

I went through 3 Macbook pros to figure it out.

I meant to say .. Has it done some updates and now needs a soft reboot ?

But, hopefully Moz to the rescue there ! Interesting one that.

It never leaves the house, so very little movement.

Ill give it a go.

Could be anything. My iMac did this when the HDD let go. If it restarts/doesnt do it again and you dont get the grey box of death then no problem. I would probably put it down to going a bit Windows for a second.

Sounds like a kernal panic. Installed anything new lately?

I have, aperture and ms office 2011.

Could one these be the problem?
Reading up on it, it's more often than not a hardware issue.

Boot from the DVD and repair permissions in disk utillity.

This happened to me and it was an adobe flash beta that caused it.

Cheers guys.

Ive just done a 'repair permissions' but not booted from the CD.
It seemed to change a lot of permissions, is that right. I also had the following warning come up Warning: SUID file "System/Library/CoreServices/RemoteManagement/ARDAgent.app/Contents/MacOS/ARDAgent" has been modified and will not be repaired.
Any one have any idea on that?
Ill see how this goes. If it does it again ill boot from the CD and do it.
