MacBook restarts when closing the lid

Not always but frequently the MacBook restarts when closing the screen. in other words, when I close it it's supposed to just go to sleep but we hear the restart chime and when I open it it's starting up back to the login windows. Not very safe for unsaved items. Its happened a few times this week and a couple of times last night. I have the Black 2 Ghz Core 2 Duo. Anyone know about this? Just wanted to do some research before making the call for service. Only had this for about 2 weeks.

I believe has nailed the issue on the head. This happens to me when I close the lid and take it off my lap within the next 10-15 seconds. When it's on a desk, it never happens.

Hey Beeblebrox,

I just used that link to fix my problem, you rock. My macbook
would freeze after closing the lid, while the computer was on.
When I opened it back up the screen would be black and it would
be frozen. I would need to power it off, then on, to get it back up.

Thanks again

Tony
