Black Screen Failure, requires forced reset restart Macbook Pro 15" I'm getting the Black Screen more &amp; more often.  I didn't have it a few months ago &amp; then it started once in a while in a week, now it happens a few times a day, everyday!  

My machine is a Macbook Pro 15" from mid 2010 &amp; Apple quarries on the Internet tell me that I can't get it fixed by Apple.

What's going on?
It seems that you are getting black screen when opening a GPU heavy app or Flash. I am sure that this is a GPU failure. You will also have difficulty at startup later. Try one thing. Download a software called gfxCardStatus. Install it and set the GPU to Intel only. Do not play any games or use Flash. You should be okay.
