It should be in warranty eligible, even if it already expired. known bugs from factory extend warranty expirations.
Don't know what you mean by knowing apple because they always give replacements, etc..
I had a logic board from a 2006 macbook pro replaced for free after 3 years of the purchase date (warranty period in EU is 2 years).

autoflavour forgot to tell you this happened to another guy a couple of days after you posted about it here.

Have the same with my 2010 macbook pro.. Reboots itself 5+ times a day.. need new logic board.

I just read an article about how a really dirty computer (lots of dust gets inside all over the place) can create the exact same symptoms, and increase risk of over-heating, etc. If it is an actual GPU problem from over-heating or faulty soldering, there's a chance Apple will fix it since they've done it many times in the past.

I just bought an 17" MBP and had a few sudden cold crashs (grey screen). I have Skype running most of the time and I wonder if this might have something to do with it...?

I had a similar issue with a 2006 MBP. Apple Store replaced it, even after the warranty was expired, and I had not even purchased Applecare. I suggest taking it and be really nice to the staff.

this is also a mid2010 issue on the 17"... just started happening to me about 2 months ago.. the computer now is completely un-functional. I will miss her.

Mine is a 2011 2Ghz with the AMD 6490M chip.
Fingers crossed it doesn't go bananas.
