How do I fix flashing blue screen on my MacBook Pro 13"?

Just recently my MBP started constantly flashing a blue screen, I've only had this computer for about 4 months. Quite annoying to tell you the truth. Does anybody have any advice that they can give me? I know the problem has been going on for a while, but all the forums that I've read are not that clear on how to fix it. Help...

This is a Hardware issue. Since there is no separate graphics "card" in a MacBook (the graphics chip is soldered to the motherboard) there is no repair-by-replacement of sub-assemblies possible. If the cables are loose, they can be made tight again, and otherwise the motherboard needs to be swapped.


If you are still within your one-year warranty, and have not spilled a latte on your MacBook, Apple will cover whatever repairs are needed. The sooner you take it to them, the sooner this will be resolved.


If you HAVE spilled a latte on your MacBook, it will be obvious to any technician who opens it. (There are moisture-disclosing dots mounted inside.) Even if it is genuine Starbucks, that is considered abuse, and is NOT covered under warranty.

After 2 visits to the apple store, I found out that I would need a logic board replacement. However, I did not go with that option, instead I started to explore the computer on my own. The way that I resolved the problem was by starting my computer in safe mode. (Note that automatic graphics switching was on during this entire process). I also turned my automatic logon setting (meaning I don't have to put my password in every time my computer starts). This resolved my issue, I hope it helps anyone who has the same problem.
