Q: 2012 MBP Retina Random Shutdown

Update:

Looking in /var/log/system.log I found this.

Previous shutdown cause: -128

But I can't seem to find any information what the **** -128 indicates.

When I try to get into the Apple Hardware Test I get an error -2000D which I can't seem to find any information on either.

On bootup I am holding D down like the apple site says to.

I get the same issue.

I get to the screen starting internet recovery.It asks for Wireless Network. I enter that information. Then I get a screen with error code -2000D.

I reset the SMC and NVRAM.

Then I tried rebooting holding down the D key to get into Apple Hardware Test.

The screen came up saying Starting Internet Recovery. It asked for my WiFi Network. I chose my network and entered the password. Then it acted like it was trying to start then I got the same error screen.

-2000D

I can't seem to be able to run the Apple Hardware Test.

The most recent incident happened while I was in Google Docs on Google Chrome. The previous two times it happened I was working in Intellij 14.

The next time it happens I will likely have to take it to the Apple Store to have them run a diagnostics test on it. It is still under Apple Care so if its a hardware failure I should be able to get it replaced at no cost. If its a software issue I guess I'll have to either reformat or wait for the next OS X patch. The issues for me has been worse since the 10.10.2 update but that may just be coincidence.

I would like to know what those codes indicate. For you do you have the same error code in the logs / console. Previous shutdown cause: -128?

Interesting.....every time mine has shutdown the CPU load should have been minimal as I was not doing anything CPU intensive.

Interesting.... I looked through the logs again and I don't see anything else that would really indicate a problem. I also see -128 other places today where it do not force shutdown.

I have an application monitoring my temperatures to double check that. At the moment my CPU average is 40C and my fans are averaging 2080 RPMs.

I'll continue to monitor and update this thread if I discover anything.
