Kernel: previous shutdown cause: -60

My MacBook Pro stopped and started starting up randomly. I went and looked at the console and it said kernel: Previous Shutdown Cause: -60. Please help me I want to make sure this isn't serious.

MacBook Pro, OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.2), 6gb ram

A negative shutdown code may indicate a hardware problem. The exact meaning of the codes is not publicly documented. Make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store. Back up all data before you go.
