MacBook Pro shuts itself off

by LizardApps Feb 3, 2011 9:04AM PST

I'm attempting to download the Mac OS X Update and my MacBook Pro routinely shuts down on its own after just a few minutes. I have the power save setting set to never shut down while on power adaptor. Does anyone else have this problem or know what I am doing wrong? Thanks.

Is it only while downloading

Is it only while downloading, or does the system shut down on its own regardless of the task?
