The screen goes black suddenly and then the computer restarts, with an error log saying "gpu panic..."
This seams to be a known issue with mid-2010 Macbook Pros.
Any help would be appreciated
MacBook Pro (15-inch Mid 2010), OS X El Capitan (10.11.3)
You can ask for a ''Depot Repair'' the flat rate price maybe more affordable.

GPU panic issue is not related to os x. Apple assembled defective nvidia card inside mbpro 15 mid 2010.
You must buy a new motherboard to fix it but is better to buy a new Mac
or try this patch (is working for me. My mbpro is running OS X El Capitan):
Only way to fix Mac Book Pro 15 Mid 2010 by software is older gfxCardStatus 1.8.1
(download site: https://software.com/mac/apps/gfxcard... or whenever you find it)
don't try newer versions !!!! it will no work. Then install gfxCardStatus 1.8.1. in menu check mark: Intel Only. in preferences, check mark:Load gfx.. at startup. and. Restore last used mode at startup
It will never shutdown but it will never use nvidia graphic card
I have had the "gpu panic" issue since upgrading to Yosemite, but the program is closed now. Any help?
