[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 1636969, member: 56379"] I understand.:) What I was suggesting in my post above was...that when Yosemite was installed earlier...that the computer wasn't run & played with as much (minutes & hours)...as it has been with Snow Leopard installed. If the computer was run & played with as much with Yosemite as it was with Snow Leopard (bench testing)...the same problems (video & freezing) most likely would have shown up as well. So I was trying to convey that the problems are not related to the OS version that is installed...but that it's a hardware problem (which no installed OS version is going to cure). Yes it definitely sounds like a hardware issue. Which is why I said that this problem most likely existed BEFORE the owner brought the computer to you for an OS upgrade. The owner probably fully knew that this problem existed...but thought that maybe a "miracle" would happen if OS 10.6 was installed.;) Sometimes we do all we can to fix a computer. But sometimes it costs too much. This computer could certainly be fixed with a replacement graphics card (if it's replaceable) or a replacement logic board. But it makes no sense to do this if the cost of the replacement part/parts exceeds or comes close to the total value of the computer. - Nick [/QUOTE]
