    I accidentally discovered the 1GHz mode - press power btn for 5 secs during startup to throttle down the processor to 1 GHz.
    This keeps the shutdowns down to, like, one daily so far. I think it's a very good result.
    On a side note, this mode is also very good for battery use, and runs cooler too.
    I am a happy macuser now, even though my initial 3 months of applecare have already expired.
    Fuck!

    Is there a big difference between standard warranty and applecare when using it outside the country of purchase? There's no genius bar as there is no apple store in Ireland anyway..
