Teal'c: I am unsure, he is concealing it.

If we were psychics, we might have some advice. As we're not, you're going to
have to give us some information: Which Mac? What OS? What are you doing on the
computer when it happens? Did you make any changes to your setup recently, and
did the problem begin after doing so? Did you spill something on the computer,
or drop it, or damage it in any way? Are all the cables securely plugged in?

You know, little, inconsequential trivia like that.

It's a macbook running Mac OSX 10.4.8, I haven't spilled anything on
it, all my wires are connected.  It shut down multiple times while I
was on the internet or playing a computer game called Virtual
Villagers.

Well, it sounds like a hardware issue and it's under warranty, so call
Apple.
