Q: Recurring error: A graphics problem has been detected.
All of a sudden I'm now getting:
A graphics problem has been detected. Click "Report" to submit report...
[Ignore] [Report]
And if I click any of the choices it comes right back pretty soon.
(It's less annoying just leaving the error message there.)
This is on a MBP 15" Retina late 2013 running latest Yosemite OS X 10.10.
This model switches graphics card/GPU when running on battery.
I've tried both safe booting and ran disk check and permissions check from Recovery.
It all started when the display server/loginwindow or something froze. I could move the mouse pointer around, but nothing registered with clicking mouse/touchpad or keyboard.
It happened after/when I plugged in an external screen with the mini-dp/thunderbolt-to-DVI adapter.
(Which have never been a problem before ...)
Any hints as to what may be the problem? Hardware or software?
(I'm aware that Yosemite is still beta, but I assume it's still OK to ask. Couldn't find the dedicated error reporting tool anymore.)
MacBook Pro with Retina display, Other OS, Yosemite 10.10

I also tried booting into Diagnostics and some other stuff.
Then I tried creating a new user, and found that the error was user specific.
So I logged back into my user and found all the files named
Kernel_<datestamp>_<computername>.gpuRestart
in /Library/Logs/DiagnosticReports. And I just moved away those files, and the error popup disappeared ...
Case solved, I guess.
