We find the shock wave solutions in a class of cosmological backgrounds witha null singularity, each of these backgrounds admits a matrix description. Ashock wave solution breaks all supersymmetry meanwhile indicates that theinteraction between two static D0-branes cancel, thus provides basic evidencefor the matrix description. The probe action of a D0-brane in the background ofanother suggests that the usual perturbative expansion of matrix model breaksdown.Comment: 10 pages, harvmav, v2: some comments on instability added, v3: version to appear in JHE
