    So I was surfing the web, all of sudden, the whole screen went blue color for 1 second and than the screen went black. Had to press the power button to restart it and it was fine again. Anyone know what is the cause of this? Had happen 2x already.

    Don't they automatically recover after that though? They do for me at least, it used to happen with YouTube a lot before 10.11.
