MacBook Pro Freaking out

[joseph8604]

I never got this, my computer just didn't have video after a restart one day. I have a late 2008 model with nvidia graphics. It was documented by nvidia and apple that there was an abnormal fail rate so i got mine replaced free too. was a 1200$ repair fee :-/

Hey hippydogzero. It turned out to be a bad ATI graphics card. My computer was out of apple care but ATI knows there is a problem with this card and so will replace them for free. Take it to your apple store and they can tell you if that is the problem.

A reinstall can temporarily fix it.

As you said, it is the faulty graphics card which requires a logic board replacement. Due to the extended warranty of 3 years as it is a known fault, they will replace it for free providing they can get an error code, Otherwise it would have cost over £700.
