Hi,
My MacBook Pro suddenly stops working. There is a horizontal line that moves across the screen vertically and then a message is displayed
" You need to restart your computer. Hold down the Power button until it turns off, then press the Power button again."
This has happend multiple times.
Any suggestions on the issue and solution?
MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.7.3)
Looks like a hardware problem is being encountered. Try running the Apple Hardware Test and see if you have any errors. Even if you don't, you may want to make an appointment with your local Apple Store or an AASP.

Seems like you've got a case of Kernel Panic. I agree with Clinton on the hardware test, also, this might be of some help: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3742.
I've similar problems on my MacBook Pro13" (since OS X 10.8.1 or 10.8.2... ?).
Some kernel panics, some freezes, some sudden shutdowns.
According to the Console, running tasks at the crash moment vary:
mds, iTunes, window manager...
I ran Apple's hardware test twice, and nothing wrong has been found.
It looks like a problem with Mountain Lion drivers or Kernel
😟
