[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 1811076, member: 56379"] What you want to determine is if you have a hardware or software/OS issue. As suggested in the thread...a great way of doing this is [COLOR=#333333]by booting the computer normally from an external HD with a fresh OS install. If you don't already have this at your disposal already...and with the MacBook Pro's current video issues...doing this may be difficult. If you have a 2nd Apple computer available to you & an external HD to use...that would be great. The reason why you want to do this is...with a fresh OS install...you can eliminate any possible corruption, errors, or conflicting 3rd party app installs with the current OS install. If after testing with an external HD with a fresh OS install does not solve the issue...then the computer has a hardware issue (very likely a failing GPU)...graphics chip. - Nick[/COLOR] [/QUOTE]
