Hello,
i have had the following issue for a few weeks.
My macbook air (2013) shuts down randomly when the temperature is too hot. However, that happens with temperatures rising between 55-62 degrees C° so that should not be a problem for the macbook. It just started happening recently, i played games on it and had it connected to a beamer for a year and everything was fine. It was running to 90+ degrees sometimes but never hat any shutdown problems.
When it shuts down at 60 degrees or less it is not very warm to the touch from neither side so i assume the Temperature Sensor is reading correct.
Nowadays i cant even connect it to my beamer for long and have to have a laptop cooler underneath it to play a game. I have to limit them to sub-20 FPS to keep the termperature unter 50 degrees.
It is out of warranty unfortunately since a few month. I read something about heat causing some parts to expand and causing a short, but that wasnt connectet to a Air 2013, so could that be it by and chance?
And this post is my last resord, i already tried the common fixes eg. SMC reset or reinstalling my OSX.
Greetings
