My Macbook is Freaking Out

[Beeman95]

Hiya. Lately, starting about 2-3 days ago my Macbook Pro laptop has been reacting really badly to Runescape. Before this, it's run just fine and I'm stumped about what to do about it. It's not the website or anything else besides when I'm actually playing. It freezes and then the screen makes all these weird multicolored shapes in the middle of the screen. I have to hard reboot my computer every time and it's getting reeeeally annoying. What should I do? I'm grateful for any advice.

check airvents and remove the dust that's inside the actual case (most likely problem)

Could be a graphics card problem. Do you have a dedicated card or integrated? Can you run other 3D games?

I don't think I can run any other 3D games and I'm already playing on safe mode.

What model is it? Sounds like the nvidia 8600M GT issue. :unsure:

This. The Macbook pro's have had problems with the graphics card BGA's cracking and coming apart under heat, causing strange graphics issues.
