OT: MacBook randomly shuts down..

[Bill Vlahos]

Chipp,

It could also be a bad battery. What is weird is that it can happen  
even while the computer is plugged in to power.

It would also explain why it started recently.

There was a battery recall so I would check to see if yours is one  
that Apple will replace for free. Taking it into an Apple Store would  
be the best first step unless you have a spare battery and can swap  
it out now.

In my experience crashes and freezes on OS X is almost always a  
hardware problem.
