It is a temporary fix for the time been but I strongly suggest you bring to Apple to fix the graphic card issue. This solution works for me and my Late 2011 MBP has not crash on my yet.

I have noticed in Energy Saver "Automatic switching check box was removed now".Also My external video 6770m card is completely disabled as to test I have tried the game which previously was always going to 2nd gpu but now only using integrated GPU.Īlso before doing all this I have updated to Yosemite.
