[QUOTE="chscag, post: 1831804, member: 46727"] Since you're running El Capitan, boot the machine to recovery (Command + R as soon as you hear the boot chime). Once in Recovery, choose Utilities, Disk Utility. Then run a check on your Samsung SSD. The SSD is probably okay since it's new but you should check it anyway. To check the graphics card you can run the [URL="https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201257"]Apple Hardware Test[/URL]. Your MacBook Pro actually has two graphic chipsets: One is an Intel HD 3000 (integrated) and the other is an AMD Radeon (discrete). It's usually the AMD Radeon which fails. [/QUOTE]
