Q: random shutdown
Good day everyone, as the title say, I'm experiencing random shutdowns with mu MBP 3.1
A couple of months ago I had a GPU problem wich I fixed by replacing the mainboard with an "upgraded" chip.
It happens no matter if the battery is there of not and it's the same with the charger. Replaced the ram with Owc units.
At this point I don't know if it's hardware or software related so here's a report:

After reading those posts yesterday I decided to check for unplugged sensor so I hoped open the top case. I saw 4 temp sensors total and they where all plugged in. I unplugged the one in the palm rest and plugged it back to make sure everything was ok. I think my problem comes from the wire that goes to the main board, it is really easy to remove and doesn't click or lock in place. Like if it is used or "loose". What I did is I took a small piece of cereal box, folded to get the right height so the top case would push down on the connector when back in place. I've not experienced 1 shutdown since then, I'll keep testing tonight and for a couple of days and let you guys know. Thanks for the help!!
