My recently purchased C2D MBP 15 has been restarting by itself pretty much since I bought it. I was wondering if anyone else has also experienced this.

Today for example I left my laptop here at my desk, came back from class an hour later and it had restarted when I got back.

Anyone know why this is? Right now I have it set up so my account has admin access, while there is also a guest account on the computer. Are there some power saving settings that I am missing? Or do you think there's a hardware problem?

How long have you had it? I bought mine on christmas, and mine doesn't have that problem, so .. don't know. maybe it is hardware related. Document the situations and bring it to the store and they can probably run diagnostics on your machine to check your hardware for problems. They can probably also check settings to see if there is any problems on the machine.
