My late 2011 MBP has twice in the past two nights suddenly frozen - nothing more intensive than Chrome and iTunes running. I have an external monitor via mini display port adaptor, and this shows a zig zag jumbled up login screen. I've had to disconnect everything and wait for ages - it's very very hot. Pressing the power button takes me to a plain blue screen, then it goes off again. Repeated this like 10 or 15 times over the space of an hour before finally getting chime and logo, then log in screen
I've taken a full backup - any suggestions? I know that these are known to get hot. Is it shutting down because of it?
