OS X V10.6 Snow Leopard :: MacBook Pro Not Turning Back On After Updating?

Feb 11, 2012

When I update my software (using system update), the computer updates perfectly. However, when the update is completed, the computer turns itself off, instead of restarting like it used to. 

After this, when I hit the power button to turn it back on, the power light comes on, but then it turns itself back off again. I usually have to hold the power button in for about 5-10 seconds, and repeat this a couple of times to actually get it to turn on. 

I have also noticed that a file in the recycle bin called "recovered files" is being created after the process. 

A while back, I made the huge mistake of hitting the power button in the middle of an update (eeeek!) and I think this may have caused the issue.

MacBook Pro :: Screen Turning Off Randomly, Cannot Turn Back On

Apr 9, 2012

screen goes black, laptop seems to have not turned off but nothing can turn the screen on.  seems fine after a reboot but problem recurs at some random future inconvenient point in time.  problem is annoyingly inconsistent - it will occur at random (no discoverable software or hardware conjunctions), sometimes around once weekly, sometimes less frequently.  have already had it in a mac repair, said they fixed it, something to do with graphics card firmware.

Every now and then, the screen stays blue for about 20 seconds.
