Hey I'm Wondering if anyone else has had this happen to them? Every time this has happened i have either been watching the myspace video host or one similar not sure what its called. I'll be watching a video then bam black screen and the computer restarts, leaving me scarred to death. This doesn't happen often(its only done it like 4 times) but all under the same circumstances.

Anyone have this happen or know how to fix it?
Thanks a lot.

Do you have a lot of other applications running while watching the videos? Does the computer get abnormally hot?
 
No more than safari and msn messenger. sometimes itunes as well. Oh and no I haven't noticed the computer running that hot.
 
Somethings wrong and a visit to Apple may be needed. Heat is what I was thinking, the video's usually cause the MacBook's to "rev up" their fans. Are they speeding up?
 
Im actually thinking heat is the problem, I came to the conclusion that everytime it happened i was in my bed with the computer on my lap on the blankets. So i suppose the blankets were in the way of the vents.
Thanks for the help if it ever happens while the computers on my desk i'll call apple care.
Thanks a lot.
