Yosemite Upgrade Warning

It definitely could be that.  I had no trouble with 10.10 for about a month, so it may have nothing to do with the OS.  I've turned off transparency and graphics switching; hopefully that helps.

I was getting hard freezes with the "a graphics problem has been detected" messages on reboot whenever I loaded a video on deadspin, but turning off graphics switching solved it.

A week ago I would have said this thread was crazy.  But I've started to get GPU kernel panics that blank the screen and occasionally restart the machine (retina MBP).  It's definitely getting really old. 

 
out of curiosity, which model rMBP? with or without discreet graphics?

I think my issues was not a Yosemite problem but just one of those Mac things.
I ran permission repair and it found no problems. I ran a few tests of my own and found that I could save to my Desktop but not the internal HD. I opened the Permissions list and saw only System, Wheel and Everyone. I, the Admin, was not listed. I added Admin to the Permission list for both read and write and so far that has fixed the problem.
