[QUOTE="chscag, post: 1437962, member: 46727"] It sounds like your 2008 MBP may be suffering from the infamous nVidia GPU failure. The symptoms you describe fit especially since you can't boot from the Leopard DVD. Apple extended the warranty on certain MacBook Pro machines with the nVidia chipset but that has expired. I would give Apple customer service a call and see what they can do for you. Otherwise, the only repair is a new logic board and that could be expensive. [/QUOTE]
