My MacBook Pro no longer is working properly after this update. It continues to restart on its own and gives me a prompt about Chrome not shutting down properly.

OK, would like to hear how turning off the GPU works or not. :)
Good work on all counts... fingers crossed. :)

Thanks but I am not comfortable making changes to any code and the I did try to open Terminal recently two times it did not open in a proper window and I was unable to exit it and had to reboot--needless to say, when I rebooted my laptop would not restart. I have been able to startup consistently from my backup drive and I can read everything on my internal drive that way and even save or delete file to it. But when it does start up from the internal drive (which it rarely does), it behaves oddly.
e.g. yesterday when it went into sleep mode about 2 hours later it tried to start up on its own, failed, and then I was unable to restart it again. I also had turned off my wifi so that there would be no incoming messages etc. My backup drive is a regular hard drive and my internal drive is an SSD that has worked flawlessly for more than a year. It still seems to be fine but I'm now wondering why the laptop behaves so differently when run off of the backup drive vs the internal SSD? Is there a possibility that it's having difficulties that don't register during hardware tests? I've run disk repair a few times as well and all seems fine there too.
Talk about frustrating!
I got the same problem here too. Looks like they pulled it today.
Hardware tests are really lacking, especially as far as testing RAM or Drives.
Have you blown the dust out lately?
Does it start better when allowed to cool down completely?
