[QUOTE="f4te, post: 1554889, member: 316520"] Sure, that's because it's not widely known, and usually once you find out about it its normally already too late, like me [url=http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4088]MacBook Pro (15-inch, Mid 2010): Intermittent black screen or loss of video[/url] Apple is currently replacing the logic boards inside of 2011 to 2013 MBP's, they have a serious issue here. It isn't their fault but nvidia's, i think the balling on the chip becomes loose due to heat, so when the MBP switches from onboard to nvidia, and it starts pushing itself, it will crash osx with a gpu panic. I was specifically told by apple support 'we can't replace yours as its over the 3 year mark, we are currently replacing them in the 2011,2012,2013 models." I also found out a bassist friend of mine has a good friend that is the head guy at an apple store, I talked to him yesterday and there wasn't anything he can do either. [/QUOTE]
