Q: Macbook Pro Mid 2012 13" Freeze while pressuring left part of keyboard
Hello,
first of all i would like to apologize for my english but i think it is the best idea to represent my problem to a big community.
I own my Macbook since 2012 and had no problems. To let you know: I replaced the original HDD with a Samsung SSD EVO 840 and put the HDD into the cd drive with a hardwrk adapter.
Last week I got my macbook to work as usual. When i opened it, it was hot and had done a restart. To figure out the problem I took my open MacBook out for a walk in my home. While walking it freezes and i got some graphic issues.
When i use my Macbook on a solid ground i got no problem. But if i put it on my sleeve and pressure the left side of the keyboard it shows the graphic issues and freezes instantly. (see attached photo)
If I continuing pressuring those graphic issues continues (different pattern) even if the macbook is still freezed.
I think it is kind of a problem with the logicboard or the monitoradapter.
Can anybody help me?
Best regards,
cirq
MacBook Pro (13-inch Mid 2012), OS X Yosemite (10.10.3)

If you have a monitor, connect it to the MBP. If it duplicates that display, then the GPU is the prime suspect. If the monitor display is normal. the the MBP display or the connection to it is at fault.
You could run an Apple Hardware Test:

Note that an error free AHT is not definitive.
You probably will have to seek assistance from a repair facility.
Ciao.
