MacBook Pro big-sur freezes with vertical script lines and overheats
Has anybody seen anything like this?
See picture.
My newly bought MacBookPro 16 inch with Big Sur has been useless since it freezes at random with vertical script lines appearing and flickering on the screen with a whoosh sound and with suddenly starting to overheat with fan working but not able to cool it down.
At hat point, nothing helps, not even holding the start button down for minutes. Closing the lid and turning the laptop it upside down to better ventilate the bottom does not help; it takes hours before it eventually cools down again.
It seems like hardware to me.
I took it to an Apple approved service but they could not find anything.
I called Apple support (I am now in another country, but I bought the MAC in Norway) and they said it was probably the old big-sur so I backed it up and reinstalled the OS, updated it to big-su 12.2.3; it worked a for a few days, then it happened again.
Now, as soon as I start it, it crashes. Not even tie to start safari or ay softaware. The lines appear already on the red Big.Sur desktop image.
I took it back to service once more, they just called me back. Nothing found. I asked them whether they checked the logs, there is maybe something in there that I do not understand, they said since they backed it up the logs disappeared (?!)
I have to go pick it up, takes me another 3 hour. The say I should bring where I bought it ... easy with the current travel bans and quarantines rules ... And even the main Apple store in this country is many hours away.
Unfortunately, since I show the picture with Teams on screen, Apple personnel keeps telling me is it for sure an MS problem, but it is not. I own my company and I bought the MS 365 licence; others in my company use MAC Big Sur and share the same licence, nobody else has problems. Only my MAC. And anyhow it happens without even starting any app.
Any chances anybody has any suggestions?
