Its happened 3 times in the past two days. It happens when I move it a little bit to the side, and its really starting to piss me off. Obviously it freezes and I have to restart it. Also, every time I close it, it goes on 'sleep' mode, but when I open it up, it doesn't wake up. I plan on going to Best Buy/Apple soon, I just wanted to see if you guys knew what it was before I go there.

Yep, GPU is failing which = new motherboard = probably cheaper to buy a new laptop in the long run.

What exactly causes that to happen? I have the apple protection plan from Best Buy so I can get a new one for free, thankfully.

Since i'm not sure what computer you have, it looks like graphics driver issues. I got something similar like that, before.

Ahh sorry, I kept telling myself to say that I have a Macbook Pro but forgot :p

It depends, the video card was probably faulty...it's difficult to tell why exactly.

Whats GPU?

Graphics Processing Unit, video card, video adapter, etc. It's the thing that draws the shit that you see on screen. :p

Ahh thank you! This is so depressing, its not even a year old

When I signed up for the Best Buy protection thing they said that they actually replace the computer right in the store, which would be awesome because I'd be so bored without it.

I worked for Best Buy and I know firsthand what a pack of weasels they are, so keep your fingers crossed.

Ugh I know, I'm actually so scared. I figure I'll have better luck with my warranty there then at Apple though.
