Mac book pro keeps restarting

You have the misfortune of having a MBP model identifier 6.2 that is having a GPU problem. These MBPs were recalled, but the recall has expired. You can have the logic board replaced at your expense.

The other option is to download the following application:

https://gfx.io/

This will enable you to disable the discrete GPU and run only the integrated one. This should stop the kernel panics at the expense of graphics performance.

Ciao.

Aside from replacing the MBP, no.

Ciao.

I have exactly the same problem. The computer keeps restarting, with exactly the same Kernel Panic. I also tried that application to toggle the graphic cards, no difference. The only difference is that this was rare in Mavericks. In Yosemite it's 2 or 3 times a day.

Sometimes is crashes right after restarting. I'm looking at the desktop as it appears, and it crashes again in front of me. It's ridiculous. I never saw anything like this, not even in a Windows machine (and I used them for 20+ years).

So that means we have a defunct machine? Apple allows this to happen? We have a faulty machine and we have no option but to live with the constant crashes, or go back to OSX Lion? That's ridiculous!

Can't Apple just make a software update to deal with this?? I don't want to go back to the stone age!
