[QUOTE="techiesteve, post: 1686567, member: 98520"] As the 13" MBP utilises some of your systems memory, its worth popping back in the original memory. If you still have a problem it's likely a logic board fault. Quite often a Mac with some GPU faults will boot normally in safe mode and fail after normal boot. There are no known issues with your MBP's video chipset. At work I see no more logic board failures in the 2010 model than any other model. Batteries are consumable devices, and will always fail with age and use. There was an REP long ago for the 15" and 17", but that expired after 4 years. The faults you've described, likely logic board and battery, can occur simply due to the age of your MBP. Re the last post, the normal procedure with GPU related issues on the two 2011 15" and 17" models is, and only if they fail Apples video system test, is to replace the logic board. badshoehabit, you did well to get your MBP swapped out.
