Unfortunately, I have a Mid 2010 MBP that is not covered under this warranty extension.
It crashes/restarts all the time with a GPU panic that is caused by the nVidia card, and triggered by the OS. It never crashed with Snow Leopard (the stock OS for my model), but ever since I upgraded, it crashes consistently (Mountain Lion & Mavericks).
I use gfxCardStatus to force the computer to use the intel graphics card. This allows me to work without random restarts.
- mheiler 12y agoSame here. It's a shame since otherwise this ~5y old computer still is holding up well.
- imeron 12y agoSame. It makes an otherwise totally fine computer worthless. There was a recall for this problem too (http://support.apple.com/en-ca/HT203554 http://support.apple.com/en-ca/HT203554), but it already ended.
- xentronium 12y agoI had exact same problem and got my motherboard replaced for free 2 years ago.
- 72deluxe 12y agoDo you get the same problem still if you boot off a USB Snow Leopard disk or dual boot into Windows? If not, I wonder if you could report it as a bug or something?
- ceejayoz 12y agoYep, my Mid 2010 15" started doing the same thing. Not disappointed to get five years out of a laptop, but still...
- weslly 12y agoI had the same problem with my mid 2010, they replaced the motherboard/logic board for free last year and it never happened again.
