Q: When on my Mac this morning my screen went black and shut down with no warning. Has this happened to anyone else?

Hi,

I was on my Mac this morning and the screen went black for no reason I know off and shutdown. When it started up again there was a question if I wanted to open the same programs I had open or not and then the usual do I want to send a report which I did. I would like to know why this happened as I have never had any issues before and I believe I may be just outside my warranty!! by a few weeks arrrghh just my luck too!

Hello ronniefromvic,

Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.

If your Mac unexpectedly restarted or shut down, then it could've been due to a kernel panic. To learn more about what could cause this, along how to troubleshoot the issue, please follow the directions in the article below.
