Macbook pro 15 inch early 2011 blue screen, screen with lines, crashing but works on reboot?

My mac's speed has been fine, there is no noticeable slow down however about 2 months ago every so often in the middle of whatever I was doing I would get a blue screen, or a grey screen with lines, sometimes just a blue screen. Thats all the computer would show and there was nothing I could do except hold down the power button and reboot. Sometimes I've had to do this 8 times in a row because it will just go to a grey/light screen without showing the apple symbol (upon reboot), from here I'd hold down power again and sometimes/usually it starts back fine


I also can't seem to close firefox and reboot it


Here is my run of etrecheck. If someone could help that'd be amazing! I feel like this computer still has life in it and I just hate when a 2300 dollar piece of work is going to **** out in less than 10 years...maybe thats it natural life cycle but I didn't sign a form saying that.

Hey Linc,


Wow, I knew I wasn't crazy. It sounds like they will repair it up until 2016 regardless of purchase date which is phenomenal. Its roughly 5 years old so that is great. I knew it still had life in it. I'll take it in to my nearest repair center and see what they say.c.


thanks Linc, (If I'm wrong about the fact that they'll repair it regardless of age up until 2016, please let me know)
