But it's such a huge difference – it ran for 4 days until I eventually had to reboot it because of something else – that I'm thinking it has got to do with the heat. I read that thermal paste needs about 200 hours of runtime before it's fully effective, and that's about the time it took before it got this stable. But it still dies occasionally – maybe I didn't apply the paste well enough? It was my first time doing that. It seems to die much more frequently when I close the lid, which I think contradicts the theory that it would be related to the paste. Roku or chrome cast reviews. *** Found permanent Hardware fix *** Folks, I thought that you might be interested in my recent find of what looks to be a permanent hardware fix to the infamous random shutdown issue. TL; DR Replaced the factory-installed Apple Samsung F-Type SSD (imprinted Model ID ends to /0A6) with an Apple Samsung G-Type SSD (Model ID ends to /0A4). Machine now behaves totally normal. Full story I bought a bunch of 512 GB Apple Samsung SSDs last week for resale, of which one was intended to be an upgrade for a 'random-shutdown' MacBook Pro Retina (15' Mid-2014; it worked OK with the Thunderbolt-Ethernet-Driver removed. But then of course lacked the Thunderbolt Ethernet). The MacBook had an Apple Samsung SM0256F (so an F-Type; Model ID MZ-JPU256T/0A6) installed when bought. Did blank out after a few seconds, fans spun up, followed by shutdown shortly thereafter. The known problem. I first tested consecutively 4 pcs. Apple Samsung SM0512F (so again F-Type; Model ID MZ-JPU512T/0A6) - sudden shutdown pattern on each of them. Then I tested 2 pcs. Apple Samsung SM0512G (note: G-Type!; Model IDs MZ-JPV5120/0A4 and MZ-JPV512S/0A4). And to my big surprise, no sudden shutdown with those installed. The MacBook behaved totally NORMAL! Even better side effect is that according to Blackmagic Disk Speed Test, the G-types are significantly faster than the F-types. G: ~ 1,320 MB/s Write & 1,500 MB/s Read VS. F: ~ 700 MB/s Write & 720 MB/s Read I assume that the G-types have more PCIe channels, which perhaps draws a bit more power, thus likely prevents the CPU to cross that low-voltage threshold, which AFAIK causes the shutdown issue. See here for more info on the various Apple SSD models, wherein the PCIe channels differences are described -> It remains to be tested, if this only did the job in my particular random-shutdown MacBook or if it works for your MacBooks as well. To introduce some diversity I would like to point out that I have OS X El Capitan installed on my macbook pro retina mid 2014 (11,3). So the problem relates not only to Sierra.
