Taking a short break from the Waiting for Skylake MBP thread.
I'm running a mid 2010 13" MBP, with the 2.66 Core2 Duo (P8800 if memory serves), aftermarket 8GB of ram, and the blisteringly fast GeForce 320M iGPU.
I've recently bought a variety of ancillary equipment in anticipation for my Skylake MBP. Among those is a Dell U2414H, a splendid 1080p, 24" screen.
Since i bought this screen, which i connect via mini displayport, i've had both screens randomly go blank, not necessarily under any significant load. The blank color alternates between white, cyan, and magenta - but i have no idea why.
my computer tends to run hot (it really needs replacement) and i tend to watch a lot of video/ do some light gaming - but i run SMCfancontrol at max RPM when i do that, so i don't know why it happens. the "crashes" do not occur under high loads.
I tried googling for this, but have found nothing similar anywhere. has anyone encountered this before?
TIA!
