Mac Shuts Down Randomly And Comes Back After Pressing A Button Macbook Pro 13 Unibody Mid 2012

Chosen Solution

so every now and then my macbook pro turns off/shuts down/sleeps while using it and there’s no explanation… Apple MacBook Pro 13-Inch “Core i7” 2.9 Mid-2012 Specs: 2x1TB SSD 16 GB RAM I chucked on some new heat paste…might that be the problem?

When it turns off it’s not even that hot…like fans blowing or overheating…usually runs between 65-78 C°

It’s not a big issue but I can’t get my head around why it shuts off randomly for like 10 secs and when I press a button it comes back on (while watching a movie for example).

I’ll bet it didn’t do this until you installed Catalina.
