Macbook Pro Retina Freezes!
Hey guys,
Lately I've encountered a problem with my 2012 retina 15" Macbook Pro: it freezes! I've noticed this happens whenever I:
- Make a video full screen on Google Chrome
- Try to play any video games (i.e. Dota 2, Starcraft)
- Intermittently (it's really not fun when it happens randomly)
Since it started happening, I have erased everything on my hard drive and reinstalled OSX Mountain Lion (10.8.2) on my computer, and have still encountered the problem. I have a feeling it's a graphics card problem (I use the Nvidia GeForce 650M 1024MB), as any YouTube or Vimeo video flickers and has strange thin lines that flicker from black to white rapidly whenever I play a video.
To try to help you guys help me, I looked at my console log and this is what I found when my computer froze briefly:
