Why does my iBook intermittently suddenly shut off?
My iBook suddenly turns off without warning. It happens whether it's unplugged and running on a charged battery or if it's plugged in. It never feels unusually hot.
I originally thought it was a hard drive failure, but installing a new hard drive hasn't fixed the issue.

Does this happen while you're actively doing something? Any particular program running when this happens? Did you clone the old hard drive or install a new system?

It's only shut off while browsing the internet (Firefox), but I wouldn't be surprised if it shuts off if I use any other program like Word or Excel - I just haven't used the iBook for much outside of browsing since it's had this issue. I cloned the hard drive from an external FireWire drive using Carbon Copy Cloner (which itself was a clone of the iBook's original internal HD - before the shutoff issue manifested). It's happened when sitting directly on a bed, on a laptop stand, and on a beaded placemat on a dining room table.

I should also note that sometimes I either can't power it back on immediately, or if it does come on, it shuts off again soon afterwards (<5 minutes). If I start from cold, it usually runs uninterrupted for at least 30 minutes.
