Hi everyone!
So for the past few months my computer has been crashing randomly. Recently it's been more frequent, so I thought it's time to get a real fix. My computer never crashed before I got an external monitor, so I suspect that the monitor might be related to the issue.
I have a 2010 Macbook Pro hooked up to a Samsung 23" LED Monitor using a HDMI - MiniDisplay Port. Sometimes when I am working on my computer, the computer will suddenly crash. When I say crash, I mean sometimes my external monitor will be completely purple and my Macbook screen will be black, other times they will both be black, and even both screen are white. So when my computer crashes, the color always changes and is unpredictable. I can't do anything with my computer at this point. From there, I usually end up hold on to the power button to restart the computer. When the computer boots up, there is no error dialogue or anything indicating the computer crashed.
So I'm not sure what is causing the issue, but I suspect it has something to do with my external monitor. If anybody has an idea, I would greatly appreciate it. Please feel free to ask me to provide any additional information about my machine and/or details of the issue!
