[QUOTE="chscag, post: 1436985, member: 46727"] I don't know where you heard the "rumors" about the nVidia GPU in your 2010 MBP as I've heard or seen nothing about it. There was a problem with older MacBook Pros using the nVidia chipset and the warranty on those machines was extended by Apple. But that is long past. In any event, the nVidia chipset can not be separately replaced as it's integrated into the logic board by surface mounting. Which means the entire logic board would have to be replaced. An expensive repair. However, the Seagate Momentous Hybrid hard drives have been problematic for some folks. Can you swap your old drive back in or boot from an external hard drive for a bit as a test to see if the crashes occur? Also, check the new memory you recently upgraded. [/QUOTE]
