fequent mid 2012 macbook pro retina kernel panic reboots possibly GPU related

I've been having a lot of what seem to be kernel panics, usually while watching/forwarding flash videos (e.g. on youtube) and or toggling between full screen or not or using Adobe Bridge and toggling between full screen or not.

What happens is that the screen goes blank (if I hit the keyboard I hear dinging sounds) and the screen goes blank, and I have to force a power off/on.

This has happened as often as 10 times a day.

I took my computer into the apple store, they ran their extended diagnostics and found nothing. The tech said it could be a logic board error, but because all the logs in the console were kernel panics he suspected it was the OS.

I reformatted the drive, reinstalled the OS and it ran fine for a day or so with minimal new software, including on youtube etc.

But today, I installed more software (Photoshop CC, a java based game, some extentions to firefox, and I experienced two panics today while viewing flash video.).

Anyone have any ideas?

I'd hate to shell out for a logic board replacement since I'm out of warrenty (just).

Thanks!!!

How about NON-Retina Macbook Pro 15" mid-2012 that shares the same GPU with the Retina one and still IS NOT listed by Apple as eligible for enrolling in the free video card replacement problem?? Started having these kernel panics the last fall after 2 years of owning my machine, that I love anyways, in peace and quiet. True it was around that time when I started use some video and text editing apps quite intensively (talking about iMovie 9.0.9 and Pages 4.2) some time working for as long as 12 h with short pauses. The first KP was when I was exporting 6 h long iMovie project into a QT movie, then Pages began crashing my system on a more regular basis as well as Aperture: had 8 subsequent KPs during a week lately with the screen going black and unexpected restart, not speaking of crashing of these two pieces of software with either the regular crash or with the screen going black with cursor visible as well as brightness controllable (had to perform a hard restart). Had contacted Apple Customers Support on the subject whether my NON-Retina would qualify: NO, was their answer. Now isn't that ridiculous - why such discrimination of non-Retina even if potentially it could be more than 50% probability of having the same defect with the same brand and model of the graphic card?

All of my KP logs contains the same portion of code that may point out the same nvidia drivers:

with the "BSD process corresponding to current thread [that crashed the system]" being one time the app I had been working the other time WindowServere or kernel_task.

Feel helpless and frustrated.

Yes I was super annoyed- I went through the hassle to send in my laptop. It passed whatever test they run- but it did fail GPU PANIC at random other times like coming out of sleep mode (what I was having issue with the most) and they said that failure wasn't covered. Pay over 3k for a laptop to deal with these types of issues is ridiculous. The fact that it failed - but didn't fail the way they expected so it wasn't covered is absolutely absurd!

**edit** it failed while in their possession- they witnessed the issue
