After 4 years something has finally hit the fan with my MBP. Earlier this week I was working in lightroom when the screen froze and a bunch of blockes appeared. I did a hard shut down, rebooted the computer and everything was working fine. Unfortunately I didn't take pictures from that incident, these blocks that appeared were similar to the ones in my attachments.
Fast forward to last night. Same thing happened while working in LR. I turned the computer off and rebooted it. To my surprise the blocks were still there when I turned on the computer. Needless to say I kept the computer off over night thinking it would help. I was wrong and it seems like some permanent damage has been done. Overheating possibly? I've noticed it's been running hot recently.
I've ruled out the HD so I'm thinking my mother board or video card is fried. FWIW it's a 2.16ghz, intel core 2 duo prosessor
Hopefully someone can send me in the right direction with this.
