Q: Updated MBP Late 2009 to El Capitan and I'm having some problems
Hi Guys
I updated my MacBook Pro Late 2009 from OS X Yosemite to El Capitan. All was working fine until today when I tried to open Opera Browser (which was working), and my screen showed flickering striped lines (red, black, grey...). It then shut down on its own. I then tried turning it on and it was beeping, showing a black screen. The beep was one in 1 to 2 seconds. I tried resetting the PRAM/NVRAM (I googled it) but nothing happened. I left it for an hour and tried booting it, and it worked. I then went on to try Opera and it did the same problem. Is there something I need to know that is making my machine behave this way? Are there any software issues that my Mac is having with this new OS X? What is the best thing to do now considering the fact that i did not BackUp my Mac while using Yosemite? Help me out guys.
MacBook Pro, OS X El Capitan (10.11.3), Late 2009 Model, 4GB RAM, 250GB SSD
