MBP 2011 GPU Crash
I have a 2011 MBP that does regular (1-2 times per hour) black screen / reboots and show 'GPU Panic' in the log.
I swapped the HD with another one that also has OSX on it, same thing, so it's clearly not a software issue.
Connecting a HDMI cable will cause the computer to reboot 4-5 times before, if you're lucky, it will boot normally.
Browsing with flash tends to do it too as it uses the nVidia GPU.
So, I was thinking about bringing the computer to the shop as now the 2011 computers with GPU problems are fixed by Apple.
But...
If I run some GPU benchmark tool, some burn-in tools, etc... it's stable.
I downloaded Apple's hardware diagnostic tool, which the shops use to determine eligibility, and the computer passed without any problems.
but it will crash the moment I connect it to a TV...
Because of this, most likely the store will tell me the computer is fine...
Has anyone experienced that problem?
OS X Yosemite (10.10.1)
