[QUOTE="chscag, post: 1796148, member: 46727"] Welcome to our forums. The thread is several years old but I suspect the problem is GPU failure which is quite common for that model MacBook Pro. Apple did issue a recall on that model but the recall is over so you will likely be looking at an expensive repair. The usual repair is to replace the logic board. You might want to take your machine to an authorized Apple repair service and have them check it out for you. An Apple genius bar will not work on your MacBook Pro as it is vintage. [/QUOTE]
