Q: Why does MacBook 2006 restart spontaneously?
Does anyone have an explanation for spontaneous, apparently unprompted restarts or know how to prevent them?
My old 13" Macbook (early 2006) restarted spontaneously twice in one evening. Conditions were: It was not asleep but not being actively used (the first time I was on the phone and the second time I was out of the room). Firefox and Entourage were running, and since Firefox has been very slowly lately and I've had to force quit several times to keep it going, maybe Firefox is causing these spontaneous restarts. The computer also sometimes spontaneously starts making a grinding noise, usually on starting up but sometimes out of nowhere. Thanks!
