Apple has begun a repair program to fix MacBook Pro machines sold between February 2011 and February 2013 that have problems with distorted video, no video, or unexpected system restarts.

An affected MacBook Pro may display one or more of the following symptoms:

-Computer restarts unexpectedly
Affected products include 15 and 17-inch MacBook Pro models manufactured in 2011 and the 15-inch Retina MacBook Pro manufactured between Mid 2012 and Early 2013. Users can see whether their computers are affected by using the “Check Your Coverage” tool on Apple’s site.
