Hi guys, i have recently joined the forum and after a few issues with my macbook am hoping some on here can help.
I have a Macbook pro 17" just over 14 months old and was working perfectly until a few days a go when all of a sudden the sceen started blinking then froze. On restart it then showed a banding screen of stripes when the apple logo shows in the middle off the screen. it then sometimes starts up to the login screen and sometimes it just goes to a grey screen with no startup!.
On a successful startup again it works for a while but when using photoshop it crashed again with thinner sripped screen showing and freezing.
I used utilities to check the preferences which shows a lot off mismatching on screen and display preferences..but i then repair them and things seem to work ok again for a short time... then the screen goes back to freezing and showing stripped screens with the preferences again being out !.
Does anyone know here what is causing this issue and is there anything i can do to stopp the display preferences from getting screwed up etc and causing this problem.
I have images i can show but can i show them here on a post so as everyone can betterunderstand my problem?
any help would be greatly appreciated. I am running 10.7 at the minute.
thank you for all and any help
