There are several possible causes for a Mac Air shutting down randomly.
1. It may be due to a malfunctioning battery. Check the battery health in System Report to see if it needs to be replaced.
2. It may also be caused by a software issue or an outdated version of macOS. Make sure you are running the latest version of macOS and install any available updates.
3. It could be due to an overheating issue. Make sure your Mac Air has adequate ventilation and isn’t exposed to extreme temperatures.
4. It may be caused by a hardware issue. If you have recently installed any new hardware, make sure it is compatible with your Mac Air.
If the issue persists, it is recommended to bring your Mac Air to an Apple Store for further diagnosis.
There could be a few different reasons why your Mac Air is randomly shutting down. The most likely causes include a failing battery, faulty power supply, or software issues. You should first try resetting the System Management Controller (SMC) on your Mac, as this can sometimes solve the problem. If that doesn‘t work, try using Apple Diagnostics or Apple Hardware Test to determine if the issue is related to hardware. If the problem persists, you may need to take your Mac Air to an authorized repair centre to have it professionally serviced.
