this is my personal Late 2011 Macbook Pro 15 inch with intel core i7 and 8 gig of ram, was doing work one day and it just shut down on me after heating up a bit. I suspect GPU failure from the dedicated card as it started showing some artifacts and random colors but it does turn on and I was able to log back into the system a day after but it keeps shutting down. I tried reloading the os on a new hard drive as i first thought disk failure but it would load the boot files and just go to a blank gray/white screen and stay there.
Selling the Whole system as is to whoever wants it for parts or to try and repair.
