Hey there avoiss!


It sounds like you're experiencing unexpected shut downs using your MacBook Pro.


What do you have to do to regain functionality back to the MacBook Pro?

Does the MacBook Pro restart at any point or do you have to manually power it back on again?


Are all your apps fully updated in the App Store?

Can you test after resetting the SMC? Take a look at the steps listed below and keep us updated.
