Thanks for the tip with the MBP. I took it to a Mac genius and they stood around it like a bunch of monkeys. They told me it would be about $1000.00 to fix the problem. Or just a simple search on google. I guess they are not so genius. Thanks again for the help.

This has happened to me a few times, but it seems to happen most often when I boot into Bootcamp. When it happens in win XP, just closing the lid and letting it go to sleep fixes it temporarily (until the next boot). Resetting the PRAM does seem to be the only fix. I wonder if this is isolated to the ATI graphics cards, my newer Core2Duo MBP with an Nvidia card doesn’t seem to do this, but it has it’s own issues!

Had exactly the same problem. Resetting the PRAM worked for me too.

Thanks for this tip. I just experienced the same problem on my MBP. For me, this happened after I rebooted when I hard-crashed in a fullscreen application (I’m a game developer).
