If you are still plagued by this, check out this reply by mendes1:


You will be happy to know that the problem you have is a known issue with Mid 2010 15-inch MacBooks Pro. It's caused by a damaged NVIDIA graphic card.


Apple has found that those computers have unexpected restarts, kernel panics, black screens when OS X switches graphic card. See >http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4088?viewlocale=en_US


Fortunately, Apple is repairing all of those computers for free, so make a backup of your data and take your computer to an Apple Store or reseller to get it repaired"

I had mine replaced on the weekend.
