Late 2011 Macbook Pro constantly restarting

Question

Like the title suggest, automatically restarts while it&#x27;s in use. this is the error report I get. Sometimes the restarts give a grey screen that appears after the apple logo and nothing woud happen, and this takes a few restarts to boot back in.

This started happening right after I sent this in and replaced the whole motherboard because of extreme kernal panics. Are you suggesting the new motherboard might be faulty as well? Because of what I heard the graphics card is inside the motherboard? I can&#x27;t do safeboot. After the progress bar for the safeboot loads, I get a complete blue screen and nothing happens.

Here try doing a system test boot of the system  and then after you hit the power button hold down the D button if it only delays the boot process then shut down again and press the power button and hold Alt+D which should boot the internet recovery mode then you should be able to run dianostics on you system!!!
