MacBook Pro (Mid 2010) keeps crashing and restarting...

My MacBook Pro keeps randomly crashing and restarting. This happens usually when I'm using Mission Control, but there has been a few times where it'll just do it completely at random. Everything just goes black and the computer restarts. It was an increasingly annoying issues before I updated to Mountain Lion when it came out, but it seems the problem has returned. Anyone know why and how to fix it?

MacBook Pro, OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.2)

Mid 2010 15-inch MacBooks Pro have got a problem with the NVIDIA graphic card that causes reboots and kernel panics because of graphic problems. Apple is repairing all those Macs for free, so take the computer to an Apple Store or Apple Authorized Service Provider to get your Mac repaired. As the whole logic board has to be replaced, this can take some days

Hey there - I set up an appointment tomorrow with Mac hoping my issue is similar and they can fix for me? Everytime my computer crashes I receive this message upon restart. It started happening a few weeks ago after two years of no problems. I re-installed all my software and it still occurs....If you understand this error report and have any advice - please advise! thanks so much - b

Thanks Leopardus, that is correct. 10.6.8 -- the last version that can be installed from an Apple DVD.


10.6.8 was a very nice version of Mac OS that was the most stable one before System 7. It could be run from an HD floppy, and did not require the exorbitant "more than 1MB of RAM" required by system 7, when running on PowerPC computers like the Mac-II.
