Aluminum Macbook randomly falls asleep

[MacFan25863]

Hi there,

I have a new aluminum macbook. I have it plugged in to an external display. Recently, a new problem has popped up. I'll be doing something (watching a video, typing, anything), and it will suddenly fall asleep. After it falls asleep, keyboard or mouse inputs don't do anything. I have to close the lid, wait a while, then open it back up for it to wake up. Any ideas on how to fix this?

Thanks!

Don't tell me MacBook Alu's have this problem too. My PowerBook had this too. I had to take it in for service to fix it
