Need some assistance with my Macbook Pro 15' Mid 2010. The computer has a nasty habit that has developed out of the blue where it shuts down and restarts whether it is running off of power supply or battery supply.

I've never encountered this problem before, and not sure what action to take next.

Update () So it seems like my problem may lie in the graphics card itself.

I downloaded a program called gfxCardStatus 1.8.1 and am currently forcing my computer to run off of the intel card only. For the moment this seems to have solved my issues.

Time will tell if this will keep it from occurring. Is a repair on almost 7 year old computer actually worth it? To me the computer runs as fast as I need it to. I have updated with a SSD HD and installed the 'max' 8 GB of RAM. The most taxing thing I do with my computer is record and edit audio in Logic Pro. I have been looking at new computers prior to finding the program I previously discussed and the 2016 Macbook Pros do not seem that impressive. Have the 2015 MBPs seemed to be pretty reliable?

I am able to still perform all of the functions that I originally used the computer for, granted I never used it for video/photo editing. Again, this is not a permanent fix.
