So first some background information.
I usually don't run the MBP on the 9600, but day I thought hey might as well, I paid for it. I used it once or twice before to test it out but never more than 4-5 hours. Today I decided to run it the whole day, and really put it though some intense work. Before whenever I payed WoW, after a few mins it would shut itself down, a well documented issue on these forums as well as the apple forums. But today, I decided to keep the fans up, and low and behold, it didn't shut down.
I didn't notice any issues throughout the whole day, until I started up fusion at night to do a quick convert using a program. The blue windows background had pixelated vertical lines across the whole screen. So I thought it was a windows issue. After I logged out of fusion, I noticed a few pixelated lines where ever there was a great contrast between colors. I monitored the cpu temp and it was a steady 70 degrees Celsius.
The vertical lines became much worse, and then the whites started to flash yellow. I decided to restart osx still in 9600 mode, and it didn't help. I went back to 9400 and it fixed it. After 10 mins, I switched back to 9600 and it was gone. But it came back after 10 mins of use.
Any one know what's going on? I've had this MBP for a little under a month now, and I'm sure I won't be able to get it replaced.
