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.
