macbook going to sleep durying dvd play back?

all of a sudden today while watching a dvd the screen goes black and the sleep light comes on when i touch the trackpad or press a key the screen lights up and the dvd begins to play again, this is all happening while the macbook is plugged into the mains. have i changed a setting without realising and how can i correct this problem. i have been watching dvds on my macbook for a few weeks now and this is the first time i have had this problem.

this random sleep problem has been frustrating me for a couple of months now. my macbook will just up and go to sleep just surfing the web. what's odd is it'll go for days and days without doing it, and then it'll have a day where it'll randomly sleep four or five times in a row. i'll barely get it up and going again to shut it down.

i believe it's a hardware problem akin to the Random Shutdown Syndrome (RSS), but is Random Sleep Syndrome instead.

if you're still under coverage, i'd take her in, especially if you can replicate the problem. i've tried all the "usuals" that people on this discussion group will tell you (SMC reset, PMU reset, creating another user, taking the battery out, etc). it's a hardware issue i think.

unfortunately for me, my coverage ran out and i was stupid and didn't buy applecare! >.< good luck!
