I got it MacBook Pro 15″ from mid-2010, but my problems occurred when I upgraded to OS Lion. My Mac was randomly "freezing" and could only be restarted by a "hard" restart. So it wasn't just about displaying the video. For me, the system crashed at any time, with complete certainty it always crashed for a few seconds at startup AppStore or iTunes. I was totally frustrated because the laptop became an unusable machine.
I installed this update yesterday and I have to knock, so far Lion is stable with it.
