OSX 10.10.5 (14F27), Intel Iris Graphics 6100 1536 MB, MacBook Pro 13 Retina

Broken: 2.76b f337fea

Blender will regularly, but somewhat intermittently, cause the entire display of the MacBook to turn a solid pink colour. After this, CTRL-CMD-F can retrieve the user's screen but Blender performance is permanently degraded until reboot.

To reproduce, simply open Blender and begin work in any mode doing anything. After a variable amount of time, Blender will eventually cause the computer's entire screen to go a solid pink colour with only the mouse cursor visible. To recover the viewable screen, press CTRL-CMD-F. From this point on Blender will suffer a noticeable lag in performing any operation. It is necessary to reboot the computer for Blender performance to normalise.

Please:

Check if the bug is reproducible on another, similar computer (this horribly sounds like over-heating or so).
Ensure both your OS and drivers are fully up-to-date.
Try the latest build from our buildbot.
Try to start Blender in factory settings (--factory-startup commandline option) (this will ensure whether this is a userpref or addon issue or not).
Try to tweak OGL settings in UserPreferences, System tab.
Try to tweak your GPU driver settings (e.g. try different values between 'performance' and 'quality' if you have such slider, etc.).
Attach as text file here the report generated by Help -> System Info (do not paste it directly in comment).
Launch Blender from the command line with -d option and attach as text file here any error printed out in the console (do not paste it directly in comment).

I have the exact same hardware, but running OS X 10.11.3, and I have never encountered this issue. So either it's a graphics driver bug that was fixed in newer OS X, or there are steps required that I'm unlikely to find without specific instructions.
