Mac freezed, Blender issues or something else?

Hello,

I have been using Blender on my MacBook Pro since i have it (2011). I never had a problem with that software but since last week my mac screen freezed like on the first and second pictures when i launched a rendering. I could not do anything, so, I had to restart my mac. And when I used another app shortly after this problem, the screen freezed too (third picture, shifted and striped screen).

Does someone know where it could come from?


Thank you,

Alexis

You've probably the problem discussed in this -> https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4766577?tstart=0 - thread.


First comes the screen glitches, and it goes downhill from there.


Apple will want you to pay for a 'new' logic board, but time and time again these 'new' logic boards fail. The only real solution is to have your GPU BGA reballed back to the logic board.


Take a look at that thread - it's most certainly the problem that you're having.
