Random Shutdown?
I'm running Mac OS X. I've been using it for a year and 2 months and have never encountered a problem until just now. It shut down with half a battery to go! Is this what happens when it overheats? I have a widget that indicates it's 62 C right now which I can only assume is too hot.
Any info on overheating and what it can do to my info would be greatly appreciated!
Edit: To my hand, it doesn't feel paricularly hot which is what's throwing me a bit.

What kind of machine do you have?
There's also an incorrect number of thread records, if that means anything. Thank you for getting me this far (a name to a problem helps!), is there a course of action that doesn't involve me taking this to another city for repair?
Thanks very much. Is there a risk of losing my information when I do that?
Dang, left that behind in my move (at my parents' place in another city).

If you can't get to your parents house but can get to a computer store like Comp USA or Best Buy, Disk Warrior will do the same thing. It does cost $69. That's what I use.
Ah jeepers I so don't want to back my computer up, there's so little time in a day!
Not to mention I wouldn't know how to do that if presented with that option. o.O This is the only reason I miss Windows - I actually could do that sort of thing, haha.

Get an external USB or firewire drive and use Superduper. The free version does everything you need and it's easy as kissing. Really, do that ASAP before you lose files!
When I boot with the installation CD (which is being couriered over) and repair the disc does that mean it's overwriting everything and restoring it to the default settings? In other words, will I lose what I've put on this computer?
