Hello guys!
I just bought a macbook pro 15'' for my studies. It is brand new, literally 3 days since I opened it.
Everything was fine until I downloaded some games from the app store. Ι opened the first, Deer Humter, and I played for 10 - 15 minutes and suddenly it lags, everything in the screen is getting mixed up, almost like these old TV s when they didn't have signal, I don't remember how it's called in English and after 30 sec it closes all by itself and opened again. I thought it was the games problem but I opened the other games and same thing happened at almost all of them. Even with Skype! Do you guys have any idea about that?
Thanks a lot in advance!

From what you've described, it sounds like a DOA GPU. Could you kindly photograph the screen issue so we can verify this, please?

Thank you very much for helping me. Damn it is a 3 days old baby... That is so bad...

Your GPU is likely wonky. Defects can happen in all things mass produced.

You have a warranty. Use it.
