I use my Late 2008 MacBook Pro at work, mostly for retouching on Photoshop CS6. They have a Samba (SMB) network that I connect to over WiFi to work on their files.

Since about a week ago, when I come home from work and open my MacBook Pro, after about 10 minutes it spontaneously reboots, no Kernel Panic, just black and reboot.

This only ever happened so far after I came home from work, so I'm suspecting it may be related to me connecting to the SMB share at work? Could this be resolved if I only used Ethernet at work instead of WiFi? I suspect this might only happen on WiFi.

This only started happening recently, so it could be caused by any of the following recent changes:
  • I recently got a WiFi network at home, before I used Ethernet
  • I recently started using WiFi at work, before I used Ethernet mostly (but not always)
  • I recently upgraded to Mountain Lion

The crashes only started happening a week ago, and I upgraded to ML about a month ago. So I'm not sure about the cause!

Any help would be appreciated!
