[QUOTE="bobtomay, post: 1534685, member: 24160"] Even if it does work currently and only crashes when using an external - it's definite sign of a struggling GPU. Unless, the MBP is maybe sitting on the floor on carpet or something else soft that would be blocking the air vents causing it to overheat only when it's connected to the external monitor. Since Apple is already aware of the issue with this particular graphics card - I'd be calling them. Sucks to be Apple in this case - had a problem with an ATI card in an earlier model so went with nVidia in the next model and have the same problem again. [/QUOTE]
