Random Shutdowns

Hi,




Having an issue with my MBP. It is randomly shutting down with no on screen prompt. Yesterday I updated to 10.9.2, this morning it has shutdown twice in 1 hour. Looking at the system logs the following is displayed when filtering for shutdown:


07/03/2014 09:52:46.006 com.apple.launchd[1]: *** Shutdown logging is enabled. ***

07/03/2014 09:52:48.000 kernel[0]: Previous Shutdown Cause: -102

07/03/2014 09:52:49.743 locationd[59]: locationd was started after an unclean shutdown

07/03/2014 10:41:28.827 com.apple.launchd[1]: *** Shutdown logging is enabled. ***

07/03/2014 10:41:30.000 kernel[0]: Previous Shutdown Cause: -102

07/03/2014 10:41:32.436 locationd[57]: locationd was started after an unclean shutdown


The following is my hardware overview:

Any ideas as to what Previous Shutdown Cause -102 is?
