My MBP seems to be really ill, and yet the Mac Store genius bar team don't know what's wrong with it.
They've tested the hardware for hours and hours, they've had it for three weeks (last December) and today the same problem arose. When I use FCP or Motion or leave it on for a while (up to 48 hours before full shut down - is that OK? It's sleeping) the screen crashes, flickering white and purple, with no image at all on the bottom half. It needs a hard restart and doesn't save anything. It looks horrific. What is this??
I'm absolutely mortified. This laptop is my life!!
I found last April a small dent in the top left corner below the power socket. I took it into the Mac Store and they repaired the body and said they couldn't find anything wrong with the hardware!! I took it back and tried FCP and everything. It was fine for a month, and has now (today) gone back to its original fault.
Another thing I did just before it did the flickering crash was to switch the graphics card from energy save to full use.
If anyone can provide some insight into this I'd be amazingly grateful. I'm having a NIGHTMARE with this machine!!!
