[QUOTE="freshmas, post: 748562, member: 40483"] That staticy mess hasn't reappeared since my original posting. I guess it's not really any sort of issue at all? I don't know, but I'm definitely going to get applecare for this thing before its warranty expires. I've noticed the GPU gets really hot sometimes when it seems like there shouldn't be anything using it. Like right now; I've got Firefox open with three simple tabs, iTunes playing an audiobook without any visualizers or anything, and Mail and Adium open in the background. My GPU is at 65˚C, and the surface of my Macbook Pro is giving off a gentle warmth. There have been other instances in which a similar load has produced temperatures as high as 83˚C and possibly higher. At these times, the case of my computer gets too hot to touch. Truly perplexing :\ [/QUOTE]
