I have the same issue which only occurs when rendering complicated quartz composer 
patches across both displays.  It's definately heat related.  I bought a laptop cooler pad with 
three fans powered by USB, bingo the problem is gone.

Still I consider this unacceptable that a laptop should ever just switch off, it should throttle 
the performance and popup a warning message long before it gets to this stage.

I'm going to take mine in and swap in under warranty just as soon as I can afford to be 
without it for a few weeks....
