Parts fail - there's likely nothing that you did to make the machine fail. Good thing you've that homeowner's insurance - I have an accidental damage rider on my renter's insurance. Something like $6 a month for up to $10,000 in coverage.


Get the to an Apple Store or AASP... they'll be able to fix it.


Good luck,

Look as if you have a graphics card problem - which only an Apple tech can diagnose and repair. Take your machine to your local Apple Store or nearest AASP and let them run diagnostics. If it's the GPU, your whole logic board will need to be replaced.


I hope that you purchased the AppleCare extended warranty because otherwise it's going to be very expensive to repair.
