Hello everyone!

I am new in the forum and i'm from Greece.
I have a problem with my macbook that you might help me with..
I have the early 2011 13.3" Macbook Pro with the 2.3 Ghz Cpu with intergrated graphics and 8gb of ram.
The device is going to Kernel panic and stop working. It works only after we heat a little the cpu and that is only for a couple of days... Then again the same story.
I have seen videos about the faulty capacitor of 15 and 17 " macbooks but i cannot find anything about the 13".
Does anyone have an idea about that? Or you belive that i have to find and change the cpu?

Thank you in advance!

The early and late 2011 15" and 17" MBPs do not have a problem with the capacitor; they have a problem with the Radeon GPU chip.

You are heating the CPU? I would never recommend heating the CPU without performing other diagnostic tests such as swapping the ram, hard drive, hard drive cable, etc.
