Mac Reboot problems, flickers on screen, followed by reboot, interrupted by 3 beeps repeatedly
I bought my MacBook Pro 13' in Nov 2013 and so far it has been performing satisfactorily, until very recently. It started about 10 days back when one day I suddenly started it while placing it on my lap. There were some strange flickers on the screen, after which the cursor did not respond and the system went on to restart. But it failed to restart and a series of three beeps kept repeating at short intervals. It happened about 10-12 times that day, especially when I moved the laptop from one place to another. I am now in Israel so iDigital handles the repairs here (my warranty expired so right now any repair's going to cost me). Anyway, I took it to the iDigital store the next day, but there weren't any problems, even when I moved it around quite a bit. I use the Mac for all important work, so I backed up everything before going. But there were no problems whatsoever. So I decided to go back to iDigital again, only if the problem recurred. Unfortunately, it did recur today and quite frequently. Only, this time I did not even move it. The flickers on the screen happen while working, followed by the cursor going unresponsive. The screen also flickers during booting process. Luckily, I managed to get a copy of the error message saved on my e-mail in the middle of all this. I am pasting it below. Any help will be greatly appreciated.
