Macbook Pro Randomly Shuts off.
Hello, I have a late 2013 MacBook Pro 15 inch with Retina Display. It has a 2.6 GHz Intel Core i7 Processor and has 16GB DDR3 RAM. I also have an NVIDIA GeForce GT 750M in the machine.
I am running the latest version of High Sierra (10.13.6). Just to note the computer has never been dropped or had any water damage (at least that I know of.)
Starting last night my MacBook shut down completely out of nowhere. I don't have any monitoring apps that measure temperature but, I believe it is due to how hot the computer gets. Looking at the activity monitor I have almost zero memory pressure and my cpu is resting at 90 to 95 percent idle. But fr some reason my computer feels like it is on fire. Even just browsing simple websites cause the fans to go on and eventually the computer will shut off.
I took a look at some other threads with similar issues and reset the PRAM, SMC, NVRAM. I then deleted my windows bootcamp partition and even went to the extreme of completely reformatting my SSD. After running a clean install I still face this issue of the computer getting extremely hot and shutting down. The weirdest and frankly the most confusing part is when I boot the computer into SafeMode. When in SafeMode the computer gets extremely hot but it never shuts down. I can use it for hours and hours and it won't shut down even once. But, as I switch back to the normal booting process it instantly turns off. There is absolutely no third party apps installed on the device so I'm not sure why SafeMode allows it to not shut off.
Lastly, the only other thing to not is that the battery condition said to replace soon so maybe it could be battery related. Any help on this would be appreciated, I have a Genius Bar appointment on Monday so I will post an update here for others to see what their solution is. I have a feeling it won't be cheap.
