when I open any adobe software on my macbook pro the screen begins to freeze, then either multy coloured dots appear or a series of lines and patches of colour appear on my screen. the computer then makes a wooshing sound and restarts.
i have tried many things to resolve this, no idea what to do. as it is now i simpley cannot use adobe software anymore. I had previously been using it fine with no problems, i cannot aford to lose access to it like this. any suggetions? thanks
