MacBook Pro 2011 - Change.org: Fix All Early 2011 Models with Graphics Failure

I have a mid-2012 MBP that started spontaneously crashing with GPU panics this past week. I've already had 3 crashes today:

Wed Aug 13 12:37:03 2014 panic(cpu 4 caller 0xffffff7faaa34f7c): "GPU Panic: [<None>] 5 0 a0 d9 9 8 0 3 : NVRM[0/1:0:0]: Read Error 0x00000100: CFG 0xffffffff 0xffffffff 0xffffffff, BAR0 0x102c00000 0xffffff821772d000 0x0e7150a2, D0, P1/4\n"@/SourceCache/AppleGraphicsControl/AppleGraphicsControl-3.6.22/src/AppleMuxControl/kext/GPUPanic.cpp:127

Yep. Mine crashes maybe every 5-20 days. Or rather, the graphics controller loses it's mind, but I can still SSH into it to initiate a shutdown. It doesn't seem to be thermal and it usually happens when there's not much demand on the graphics subsystem.

Well, then make sure you sign the petition. Apple says, that it's seeing "about 10 cases a week".. Not enough to take action. Imagine, apart from those who signed the petition, how many others there have to be.

My MBPr had this issue. Marched into the 5th Avenue store telling everyone they should be ashamed of themselves over and over like a broken record. New laptop in 30 minutes.

My MBP just started having this very problem last week.
