Something wrong with my macbook pro! screenshot included

[T y]

Hey there, I'm Ty, this is my first post here! And unfortunately it's not a very postitive one. I'm having trouble with my 17" MBP. I'll be just working or surfing the net and then BAM, this happens:

It freezes completely and i have to hard reset. Sometimes it takes me 2 or 3 resets for the whole thing to kick back in.

Anyone know whats going on?

I'd venture to say it is a graphics issue. Got applecare?

 

[T y]

yes, I do have apple care.

yes, I do have apple care.

Call them.... that is the best thing to do. Back up your stuff as soon as you can.

what do you think I should tell them based off that screenshot?

That your faulty nVidia 8600 gpu is dying.

That you see rainbows and you are not on drugs...

If you have a Apple store near by or an Authorized Service shop, take it in and show them the screenshot.
