So a bit of backstory... about a year ago I spilt a cup of noodles on my Macbook, but it's been fine since then. Maybe a little worse battery, but that's about all.

Since upgrading to Yosemite though, my whole computer will freeze, and then shut off around 10 seconds later. I thought it might just be a Yosemite issue, but even with the update today, it happened once. It's not consistent... sometimes it won't happen for a week, other times it'll happen 3 times in 2 days. Has anyone experienced this, or is my Laptop finally dying of noodles?

Yes, this has been happening to me as well on my 2012 rMBP with Yosemite DP6 (has happened in previous DP builds as well). As far as I can recall every time it's happened to me I've been using Safari. It wouldn't surprise me that Safari has issues but that it hard locks the entire machine is surprising. Unless both of us have hardware going bad I imagine this has to be a software issue that will hopefully be fixed for the GM release. If I still have issues then I'm going to try and do a complete clean install.

I've not had any system-wide freezes of any kind. I've had a couple of system processes freeze up a few times, but nothing to bother me too much.
