    I downloaded 10.5.3 onto my SR MBP earlier today, let it sleep and wake a few times, and it woke up and displayed the attached. Note that that is a screenshot, an honest-to-god Command-Shift-3 screenshot, meaning that the OS probably thought it was doing a fine job of things. Has anyone else experienced this? Any ideas what could be causing it?

    I had something similar in 10.5.2

    I was running Warcraft 3 though, maybe my graphics card could have over heated at that time. However, recently I just had to take in my computer because it wouldn't start up and I had the logic board replaced.....

    ... If it happens again I suggest taking it to an Apple store

    do a hardware test by inserting the first install DVD and restarting while holding D. if you get any errors contact Apple Care.

    The thing with WoW is just a problem that happens with some games. Known as artifacts. Used to happen on my PC with its graphics card. Got the card replaced and haven't had any trouble since....
