GPU overheating issue? Early 2011, i7 2,0Ghz
My MBP suddenly panicked while watching flash video. I had to hard restart it.
When starting up again it shows boot screen in a pink color tone, goes to a grey screen for 30 sec, then blue screen for 30 sec and THEN i might be able to se my desktop. Shows only artifacts and faulty graphics 3 out of 4 times though. Fans are going like helicopters.
I tried 'extended hardware testing' with no errors. I also tried formatting the HDD with a fresh OSX install. That helped, it ran okey for a week (with no heavy tasks), but today when trying to install windows with bootcamp I am back to helicopter fans and 'artifacts'.
Does anyone know what might be wrong here? I am guessing it has to be something with the AMD Radeon 6490M or the integrated HD 3000?
