I have a 2011 macbook pro, that has worked totally fine until a few nights ago while watching a video it froze, after about 20 seconds it restarted to a white screen saying "restarted because of an error" in several languages. It seemed ok, but I panicked, saved a few things, and shut it down again. I took that as a sign to buy a new one, but it says Im not likely to receive it until the end of January. I'm super paranoid so I normally wouldn't open my computer again until I had the new one to transfer everything over onto, but I can't go two months without working on anything. I've seen lots of people saying they have this reset problem consistently which becomes a problem, but is it happening once reason to panic? I'm for sure getting a new one, this one is a relic, I'm really just wondering how common/severe a problem this freeze-reset-whitescreen might be, should I continue to use it (ill likely just be working in microsoftword) or is a single freeze/reset enough of a warning sign that i should keep it shut down until my new laptop comes?
PS i know this is a super general question, if it starts resetting consistently I'll be shutting it down and waiting, but i have a tendency to be paranoid so im just wondering if I'm over reacting? thanks so much in advance if anyone takes the time
((Sidenote does it really take two months to deliver from the apple store? Or are they just highballing it?))
