Reset the SMC. It was doing this multiple times per day for me also, but it hasn't been an issue since I did this a couple days ago.

Sure, but I thought these guys were making fun of Windows for having to reinstall every couple of years.

I have to reset the SMC or the computer will restart by itself while I'm in the middle of programming..?

This is a EUR2000 laptop we're talking about, not a Game Boy.

Is a SMC reset (takes a couple of minutes, max) really equivalent to a complete reinstall of the OS?
