It's really important to wait until it goes into 'Safe Sleep' … see that the sleep light is actually pulsing before putting the Mac in a bag. If you see a steady light, the Mac isn't truly asleep, and if placed in a bag, would do its best to cool off with the fans, which would not be possible. At some point it would try to shut down to prevent any damage, and that may be what was happening with yours. > > I thought my problem would be gone when I got my new MBP 17".
