Horizontal lines, Distorted graphics, Triangled Color Gradients leading to System hangs thru Damaged GPU ATI X1600
* Many Users experienced a effect of "Distorted Video". For short it looks like this:

* it's your ATI X1600 GPU, if you are affected
* The errors you see are stored in your graphics in your memory. They created by your damaged GPU you even can drag and screenshot them
* your GPU is damaged and the only solution: Replace your Logicboard, we experienced by other users with AppleCare
* the problem, is well known by us but ignored by apple: (link to apple discussions display anomalies)
-> Apple - Support - Discussions -
* there is a similar Problem about that with NVIDIA GPU's in this case apple is replacing your board for free?
-> MacBook Pro: Distorted video or no video issues
* it's heat related but it occurs at 50 C° what shouldn't be
* this problem is getting worse and if you have some pixels first, the lines, system hangs and colored triangles will follow later on, be sure
* answer from mac genius are 'replace motherboard' no further detailed information. If you don't have AppleCare, a Original Note from AppleCare: "Buy a new Mac"
* If you are affected and may don't know it yet: First error you will see is a single green pixel, which you can drag around if it appears in a window
thanks for your support, if there are enough people reporting that problem to them, apple may do something about it
regards
