Troubleshooting Graphics and Display Issues on Your Mac

Watching Your Mac Display Suddenly Distort

Watching your Apple Mac display suddenly distort, freeze, or refuse to turn on is never a welcome event. Unlike other Mac issues, you can’t delay dealing with a misbehaving display; it must be addressed immediately. If you are lucky, the glitch is just a glitch, temporary in nature and not necessarily an indication of continuing troubles to come. In many cases, display problems don’t return after a restart.
