thank you
 
The 2010 MBP especially the 15.4" 2.66 i7 model is notorious for graphics related problems, unfortunately I doubt there is a fix for this without replacing the logic board, I believe there are newer revisions that are not so problematic but the cost, as with always with Apple, is stupid.

My advice.. ** Try not to post potentially baiting comments in future ** - Will Gill

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news and hope I am wrong but I've seen a lot the above machines start with graphics related kernel panics and never found a fix.

:eek:
 
Mid-2010 15" MacBook Pros - the bad NVIDIA GPU



If you're having frequent kernel panics with your 15" mid-2010, or intermittent screen problems, the problem is, more than likely, the faulty NVIDIA GPU found in a number of those machines.

MacBook Pro (15-inch, Mid 2010): Intermittent black screen or loss of video

Make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store, or go to another authorized service provider, to have the machine tested. The routine hardware diagnostics used by service providers may not detect the fault. There is a specific test for this issue.

I'm guessing they will replace or repair the machine outside of the warranty for a fault of this nature.

(Given the press about the dodgy nvidia chips in this model).

Best advice already given above though. Take it in to Apple :)
