Hi guys.
I have a MBP Santa Rosa.
For some time now it has been getting very very hot.
The screen of my mbp kept going dark and took awhile to come back on. If i plugged my mbp into my TV i could see the picture while the screen was still dark.
I took it to apple and they problem didnt happend when i as there so they could not help.
Then i started having problems (6 months later)
The screen started to flash all different colours and would then sometimes crash the computer and i would have to force a re-start.
After i few times doing this my mbp would not boot. It got to the apple logo screen and flashed up "you computer needs to restart" bla bla..
The way i got around this was to hold apple and s when the computer booted. This ran something i didnt understand then i exited that and the mbp booted.
Once i got it to boot i formated and started again. After a few days i got the same problem.
Now it wont boot past the "you need to restart" screen no matter what i do.
I also have just tried to reinstall osx but when i try to boot from disc it gets stuck at the apple screen
Hope someone can shed some light on this?
Sorry if there is mistakes in my typing, im rushing to see fam
Thanks inadvance for all your help
