The early MBPs had a problem where they would overheat the processor and shut down. This turned out to be the factory putting too much heatsink grease on the processor. It was quickly remedied, and I haven’t heard of a MBP doing that since.

...too much heatsink grease...

Thanks, I had forgotten that little glitch. Yes, one assembler thought that if a dab was good a gob was better... wrong.
