Hi, good day:
as i posted on the Picture Gallery section, i bought like 2 or 3 months ago, an old Macbook Pro (Late 2006) i found for like $200. The computer works fine and after a few upgrades (SSD for a dying hard drive and upgrading the RAM to 3GB, changing the thermal compound) the Macbook pro has a revitalized performance. I have even able to install Windows, and play several games like Rust, League of Legends and Final Fantasy XIV (obviously everything on low settings) with a pretty nice Framerate (60 to 40 almost all the time).
I have no problem with the laptop whatsoever, but a weird .. a weird glitch, that has freeze my laptop several times, idk if i can confirm is a glitch or if my graphics card is dying (Which would be hard to believe). The glitch consists on play Youtube video on Chrome, and change the tabs 2 or 3 times. At the same time, the youtube player is going to try to change the quality (Because fu-- you user) and there, the computer will freeze with several graphical glitches on the screen. When that happens, the only way to comeback is by doing a hard reset.
I just would like to confirm if this is a glitch, or if my graphics card is dying, again, i think its hard to believe that because when i play games, of course, the laptop goes to like 80C (176F) but it never freezes or something like that. When im working normally (Dreamweaver, photoshop, chrome, PixelMator and filezilla) the temperature goes to 70C but i never get a graphical glitch or freeze.
