Hi, Not sure if it's exactly the same, but, I've had a number of white MacBooks do a similar thing where they randomly go to sleep. Pressing a key or two wakes them up then they'll work for a bit, and do it all over again. These were units at work so I did lots of disk and permission repairs, reinstalls of OS versions from Snow Leopard to Mavericks with, originally, limited success then finding out after a couple hours of use that the frustration started over again. The only thing that fixed this issue for me was replacing the battery. Even though the battery, in some cases, didn't really look like it needed replacing, once the new one was installed, all worked properly.
HTH. Later...
