    Damn, my Powerbook keeps shutting down suddenly. :(


    I've got a machine that reboots/freezes suddenly too... There could be many reasons for that.


    Thats true but I will try to isolate this problem.
    So I can exclude a heat problem.
    Fallback battery has been replaced (due to some apple forums this can be a cause too)
    Faulty main battery - I will ordner a replacement over e**y
    Faulty powersupply - I will lend me a 65W supply from a friend soon
    Reset OF back to factory defaults - will try that(*1)
    Reset PMU (I am not sure if this isn't the same as the one above) - will try that too(*2)

    (*1)
    Apple says:
    Hold the Command+Option+O+F keys during startup. At the prompt type:
    >reset-nvram
    Hit Return
    >set-defaults
    Hit Return
    >reset-all
    Hit Return

    Apple says:
    If the computer is on, turn it off.
    Reset the power manager by simultaneously pressing and then releasing Shift-Control-Option-Power on the keyboard. Do not press the fn (Function) key while using this combination of keystrokes.
    Wait 5 seconds.
    Press the Power button to restart the computer.
