Could be your graphics board. The 8600M is notorious for having problems. If it's been less than 3 years since you bought it, and it turns out the 8600M is the problem, you can get it fixed (more likely: a new MBP) for free.http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2377
Did you recently upgrade to Windows 7?
On a MacBook Pro? blasphemous... I would offer more advice, but I have no clue as I don't use apple computers, only the iPods and iPhone...
The first post says W7 Ultimate. And although the internal design is unique Apple hardware is no different from other (non-Apple) hardware.
jesus :censored:ing christ, when did everyone on this board become so :censored:ing sensitive and lose their ability to recognize sarcasm and lose their sense of humor...
Buy a PC... 'Nuff said.
I, unlike some people, am not made out of money and that is NOT AN OPTION
Although my family does have quite a sum of money, I can build a PC for probably 1/3 of what you paid for that.
so can i, i have built PCs myself before, not for me, but for other people as a job, so don't talk down to me and start the mac vs. pc price war; i paid what i paid and i like what i got
... now wait just a minute, you just told me that you aren't made of money, so therefore by logical deduction you would choose the cheaper of the two options for the same quality, therefore resulting in excess supply of currency. I only implied that building a PC would alleviate problems caused by a mac graphics card. Please settle, grettle.
Listen Alentris, i dont wanna take sides, but this has nothing to do with his problem, im dead broke but i still have a macbook pro, My dad got it for me. Theres a time and place foreverything, this is neither dude.In regards to your problem, how easy to open are those pro's? Is the GPU replaceable or is it soldered on like in the other version?
It could be the RAM. Do you have any extra sticks lying around that you could test with?
