Did you know: even mac’s have a blue screen of death - 6 comments
Yesterday, my month old Macbook Pro died a horrible death – the dreaded blue screen that has plagued the Windows world for a long time reared up its ugly head on a Mac. That means I am essentially setting up my entire workspace all over again on a new machine today.
Did you run the diagnostic utility on it before giving up on it? My MBP looked like this http://twitpic.com/c0z4o
They replaced the logic board and it was good as new. If you used TimeMachine you wouln’t need to do anything to set up a new machine, either – you could be up and running in about a half hour or less with exactly the same environment on a new machine.
I got the same on my 2 month old Macbook last week. But after 3 power downs and restarts later, it all came back as normal. Perhaps it is because I rarely power off the machine – rather I hibernate it until I need it next and have only turned it completely off twice since getting it.
