Recently, within the past 5 days, I've noticed that my white mid-'07 MacBook (on 10.5.8) would completely freeze up if I disconnect my monitor, connected through a mini-DVI to VGA adaptor.
By freezing up I mean completely stopped dead: Time/cursor stopped, cmd+ctrl+power unresponsive, with no crash log, no panic log, no grey-screen-of-death. Just a note after restarting in the system log that the computer didn't shut down properly.
There is an error that appears in the console but not sure how it can be related since the computer wouldn't know when I'm going to pull out the adaptor...
I pulled the adaptor out (and caused the time to be stuck) at 11:44:51
Any ideas? I'm hoping it's not a hardware fault :/
