It has happened a couple of times during last couple of months.
After a couple of hours of being on and mostly surfing the web, my computer crashes and then the screen seems to be like wrong and then it starts to emit sounds.
I'll leave a picture.
Which model MacBook Pro do you have? Mid-2010 15"?

Early 2011 750gb hd, 8 gb ram
My bad - thought that it MIGHT have been a late 2010 with the bad NVIDIA card.
Clearly, you have a hardware problem with your GPU. The best advice that I can offer is to take your machine to your local Apple Store or an AASP and have them run diagnostics. There was a rather long thread here with people having problems with Early 2011 GPUs... not enough for a recall, I'm suspecting.
Do you have the extended AppleCare Protection Plan? If your problem is with the GPU, a logic board replacement would be in order and that can be quite costly.

I'll take it to an AASP for them to run the diagnostics.
I don't have an AppleCare Protection Plan, can I buy the enter my machine for the logicboard replacement?
This is really sad, good thing I have everything backed up in my Time Capsule.
Thanks for the advise.
You're welcome - I don't know how much a new logic board will really cost: $700-800USD? If more, you might want to save your money and just buy a new machine...
Good luck,
