I chatted with Apple tech support and they said since it was out of warranty, they would charge me to chat online, at which point I politely declined. When researching the issue, I seem to have had a few symptoms that the 2011 MBPs have had with their graphics card failures (I can attach pictures of the lines on my screen if that will help diagnosing at all). I decided to restart if via the power button and the same problem happened. I left the computer on for about an hour and it did not move off the blank screen. The progress bar would get to ~30%-50% and then would go directly to a plain white/grey screen. The startup sound would go off, then the Apple logo would appear with the progress bar. I thought it was a typical random restart, but noticed something right away. Once my game started, the computer randomly restarted. Suspecting it was something with my graphics card, I booted up League of Legends and sure enough the issue came back. Once I quit safari, the problem went away instantly. Earlier tonight I was using Google Maps when my laptop became very warm and my screen started to flicker, a minute or two later the screen became distorted with random lines across the screen. I have a 15" 2011 MBP that died on me tonight and I'm trying to find the cause of the problem.
