Hello M427two,


Welcome to Apple Support Communities. We understand that your MacBook Pro becomes fuzzy and then black after using it for a period of time.


Do you have any external devices connected? If so, does this happen if you disconnect those from your MacBook Pro? Does this seem to happen when you are doing anything in particular such as using a certain app or charging your MacBook Pro?


We recommend resetting the SMC since this may be a power-related issue. You can find steps to reset SMC from How to reset the SMC of your Mac.


Take care.
