[QUOTE="Tarek, post: 1137965, member: 68040"] I had the same laptop (2.5Ghz, though) and the exact same thing happened after two years of usage. Since it's a graphics card issue (I am assuming you have GeForce 8600M GT as well) you'll have to get the whole motherboard (logic board, as it is called) replaced. You can do that for free at any authorized Apple store. Even if your one/two-year warranty expired, there's still one called Apple Extended Warranty which covers the GeForce 8500M GT's failure for four years from purchase date. So you're safe.
