Hello all,
I have a 2.2gHz MBP that suddenly has developed issues. It's a 2007 model with the nVidia gpu. I think it's kernel panicing but I'm not too sure. I've reloaded, disk utilitied and it keeps telling me to restart.

Here's what it looks like when I use the Leopard disc to boot. I booted from disc to use disk utility which worked once then it freezes after it boots from the disc. Notice the vertical lines after it froze. When I try to boot from the disc now, sometimes it will start and other times the screen will flash, show vertical lines, and freeze. I have tried resetting the PRAM as well.

Can anyone tell me if this is a result of the defective nVidia graphics processors or not? If it is it should be covered regardless of Apple Care correct? There was supposedly a Technote regarding these defects. If someone has the link to this document it would be appreciated as well.

Thanks

Thanks bobtomay. Let's hope that it's covered otherwise I'll have a very nice paper weight. I have a reservation with the Genius Bar tonight so we'll see what the have to say. I'll post up the results afterwards.

Well I had the genius at the Genius bar have a look and indeed it was the GPU/logic board so it was free!!! I asked if it was going to be the same board because if it was I was just going to sell it when I got it back. The boards they are putting in have the same chipsets but are apparently put together properly and have a "rev.2" designation.
