Q: 2008 Macbook Pro with Frozen Screen with Pink and Green Pixels

Hi all,

 

I have an early 2008 version of the 17" MacBook Pro. During the process of uploading photos to iPhoto, the screen froze and pink and green pixels appeared. I shut down by the off button and upon on turning it back on found the screen as shown below. The apple appears and then the clock spins for a moment then freezes. I cannot get any further.

 

I've tried booting in Safe Mode and other options I've read when trying to boot but to no avail.

 

Someone said I need to run the AHT but as this was purchased from a friend, I don't have the installation CD's. I've found a DMG file of the AHT but am completely at a loss as to what to do with this.

 

Can anyone please help me as I'm lost without my computer and there are no slots available at my local Genius Bar for another 2 weeks.

 

Many Thanks,
