I have a 15 inch 2011 MacBook Pro and the other day while I was using it in GarageBand it froze up. I figured whatever that happens and shut it down, closed the lid and plugged it in. Well then the yesterday I went to boot it up and at first it showed a blue screen with lines going up and down. I turned it back off and tried again and I got to the boot screen, but about half way through it stopped and went to a blank gray screen. I reset the PRAM/NVRAM, tried booting into safe mode, recovery mode, reset the SMC, and tried booting from a bootable usb with high Sierra. None of these ended up doing anything, most of the time just getting to around 50% and going to a blank gray screen. At one point I was able to do internet recovery but again it did not work. When using the bootable usb, it got to the loading screen and very slowly the bar was moving. It got to 100% but after probably 18 hours it was still just sitting there with the apple logo and the loading bar at 100% so I turned it off. I heard people saying this may be a GPU issue. If so, how do I go about fixing it? Thanks for any help!
