MacBook Pro Screen suddenly turns blue

I have a MacBook Pro that I've had for about two years now. Lately, I will be surfing the net (generally use Firefox), and my screen suddenly turns blue. If I close the lid, reopen, and push the power button, it fires back up. Anyone have any ideas what might be causing this problem?

I have exactly the same problem 3 month ago and until now it still happen. I took my macbook pro into apple store two time. first time, they check that diagnosis of the hardward generated and it turn out clear. nothing happen to it. then they check my software and find that there is something wrong with safari. so they decided to reinstall everything.
And they told me to not install everything back from your time machine just install the folder that I want. And try that for 2 weeks. Since that it been working fine until last week, macbook suddenly turn blue again but this time it shown random colour with line and shape before it turn to blue screen.
Now i dont know what to do as mine warranty just expired 3 days before it happen. I think it gonna cost a lot without warranty.

My macbook pro screen keeps turning blue?

This just started about ten minutes ago but its happened three times so I'm kind of concerned. My screen background on my Macbook Pro turned blue after I refreshed a Netflix page. None of my open windows shut down but the image I have as my background was gone and the light blue screen took its place. When I went back into my settings to put the picture back up, it showed that it was still set as my desktop screen, even though it clearly was not. I had to click on another image and then click back on the one I wanted to get it to reset. Is there any reason why this is happening? And can I fix it or do I have to take it in to the apple store and see if they can take a look at it?

A few suggestions:
When troubleshooting, disconnect all devices from your computer.
Restart in Safe Mode: Mac OS X: Starting up in Safe Mode
Boot up from your install DVD and run "Repair Disk" from the Utility menu.
Restart
After you reach your desktop, repair permissions and again restart your computer. Directions are in the OS Help Menu if you need assistance.
You should call Apple tech support before your standard warranty runs out. Hopefully, you have AppleCare.
Hey, thanks for your suggestions but when I tried the first part which was the run in safe mode it only made parts of it, specifically safari, lag even more to the point where I could not load pages without it lagging. For the second part about the repair disk, is that the same thing as re-booting your mac or is it different thing? Thanks again for your help!

MacBook pro screen wont turn on mechine turns on but front sleep light is dim

So I was just browsing on chrome on my MacBook pro and suddenly the screen froze and from the top of the screen it started to get dim and came down right to the center of the screen and then another black shade ontop of that came down and stopped in the middle it did this until the top half was completely dark but the bottom half is ok and nothing happend oh by the way I was just on Facebook I wasn't on a website that was harmful to the Mac so any ways I then I held the power button until it turns off thinking it would work normaly but it didnt, when I turned it on I heard the fan turn really fast and then it slowed down and the front sleep light came on and it stayed like that, i could also hear the hard drive spinning inside I closed it and the sleep light is on it but now it brighter and it's not even going dark and bright like its supposed to do when it's sleeping. Can someone please help?

Try a SMC reset:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964
If no joy try a pramreset: power off the MBP, power back up, before the start chime press and hold optio, command, P, R, and continue tohold them until your the chime 2 times then release. Reboot.
If still not happy try a safe boot, power up holding the shift key, continue to hold the key until you the progress bar and gear then release. This will show if it could be a third party software problem, this will boot the MBP with only essential applications running. Be patient as this takes longer than normal. Try things out, if normal, shut down and restart and see if things are still messed up.

T440S screen suddenly turns blue-grey and I had to force it to power off

(Updated with Event Viewer logs. Not sure if they are relevant. See the end of the message, right before the picture)
This computer is less than 1 year old and has already given me several problems. This is the the most recent one. Basically, the screen suddenly turns dark blue (or is it grey?) and the cursor also disappears from the screen and the computer becomes unresponsive (See the attached picture below). And I had to press and hold the power button to force the computer to shut down and then to power on again.
This is not the blue screen of death that people talk about (as there is no warning text), although the BSOD has happened to me a couple of times as well
This problem has happened twice so far. Now, in both cases, I was editing and saving fairly large WORD documents (Word version 2013; About 600 pages of document and Size at 0.6 mb). The document was being saved, and suddenly this happened.
Mine is Windows 7 with all the latest updates installed and the memory is 8 GB.
Anyone can give some insights on what this is and why it happened?
Thanks!
=====================
I am posting below the two events from Events Viewer that were generated at the same time the problem occurred. Even assuming they are the cause, I still do not understand why the errors led to the observed problem, that is, the screen going blue and computer becoming unresponsive).

For several months my MacBook Pro screen randomly turns off, but keyboard is on. Today the computer just turned itself off. Why?

For several months my MacBook Pro screen randomly shuts off. The keyboard is on. To fix it I use the power button to shut the computer off. Today the entire computer turned off. It took several tries to turn it back on. What is causing this?

Are kernel panics occurring?

MacBook Pro screen randomly turns black on me for no reason while I'm using it? What's wrong with my MacBook?

I have a MacBook Pro from 2009 and the screen randomly turns black on me for no reason while I'm using it? It takes anywhere from 5 seconds to 1 minute to turn back on and no matter what I do it just has to fix itself so idk if it is going in to sleep mode or what. Anyone know the issue? Thanks.

Run through them and stop after #16 or if the problem stops, or if something tells you something severe (like hardware test giving a error)
If you can backup your personal data off the machine, you should do that first.
Hardware issues we cant' fix, only a few things may fix it.
Software issues we can fix, but right now we don't know what is causing your issue as we can't see it obviously.
So your going through a process of elimination to try to give us a clue what's the problem and then we can advise a course of action.
If you feel this is way over your head, then just make a appointement with Apple and/or your local PC/Mac specialist.

MacBook Pro Screen Suddenly "Zoomed In"

I've got a two year old MacBook Pro running 10.6.8.
About five minutes ago, while I was using a four-finger trackpad shortcut, the screen suddenly zoomed in about a half inch or so. Now, everything is just slightly lower resolution and my screen is too small to show everything. For example, the date and time in the upper right corner is halfway off the side of the screen. All my desktop icons are slightly larger.
I don't know anything about setting screen resolutions, but I found the display preference and its set for the max 1680x1050. (Seems I remember this once going up to 1080, but maybe I'm mistaken.)
Regardless, my screen is now looking goofy. How do I get it back? And what might I have done to cause this? I don't remember hitting any errant keys of commands, other than using four fingers on the trackpad for a certain function.

Macbook screen randomly turns blue, then restarts

This has happened twice and it is frustrating. I'll be working away as usual, then my Macbook's screen suddenly turns blue (like the start-up blue before your desktop loads) and then it behaves just as if it restarted. The first time Firefox didn't remember any tabs, but the second time it did.
I have done a little research and saw that people are saying it has something to do with Rosetta apps. Anyone have a solution apart from saving my work frequently?

Welcome to Apple Discussions!
That is odd behavior, and I'm not sure what would cause it. You might try a PRAM reset and see if that helps:

Macbook Pro Screen wakes up from sleep without any acitvity

I've set my MacBook Pro screen to turn off after two minutes of activity. I've had this setting for all my Macs and I've never had any problems.
Recently though, my MacBook Pro's screen turns on by itself without me touching the computer or any mouse attached to it. What could be the problem?
It's really annoying when the screen turns on at night.
Any help will be appreciated.

I have the same problem. I brought up console and there is nothing at the same time as the screen turning on. My situation is as follows:
I put on a podcast. The only applications running are firefox and iTunes. I turn the screen brightness all the way down with the F1 key, then mouse over the corner of the screen set to turn the monitor off.
After about 6 minutes, the screen comes back on at brightness level 1. If I touch a button or the trackpad the screen turns back off. It stays off for about 6 more minutes and does it again.
Edit: I just checked the logs with all showing and the only thing I see is a Wake Reason = EC LID0.
Any tips?
