Hey guys, I just bought a used mbp from 2007, I just needed this for a programming class and I got a really good deal on it, well I turned it on and the harddrive had been wiped so it opened right into the new screen, I got it up and running, I installed iLife, then Office 11, did an Office 11 update, was in the middle of installing iWork 09, and the screen got really pixelated in random areas, I turned it off and tried to turn it back on and it was freezing and would not load, also it had pixels in random areas, I have done everything that I can find online about anything that is somewhat close and I am at my wit's end. The only thing I can narrow this down to is GPU, logicboard or an outside chance of the HDD itself.
I cannot get it to load from a boot disc which is starting to make me think logic board, but I am really hoping that it is anything else. Thoughts? While going through one of the checks the screen looked like this
