10.5.2 and geforce 730 graphics card - graphical errors & freezes

Hi there!
I am writing this on behalfof a good friend, who is experiencing computer troubles, since updating to 10.5.2, specifically the graphics update.
+His machine specs: 24' iMac G5, purchased November 2006 - without apple care.+
He has noted system freezes, and strange graphical errors, such as black lines and squares, since updating his system several days ago.
No steps have been taken as of yet, apart from the norm of clearing caches, restarting, and repairing permissions etc, which have not helped unfortunately.
As the errors are being output graphically, he believes the problem to be the *geforce 730* graphics card, which allegedly has a reputation.
Could you possibly help me please; have you experienced similar, what are his options, is this unit replaceable and at what cost, etc?
Although he does not have apple care, do apple have a responsibility to him, as it's a hardware failure, on a machine not even a year and a half old!
Thanks so much in advance of your help, and I'll keep searching in the mean time

I have the same issue, although I am running 10.4.11, ATI Radeon X1600
Welcome to Discussions, SGiambalvo!
With all due respect, you'd get more, and better, advice from starting your own thread or looking at Tiger related threads. Those with similar experience to yours may just skip reading this thread.
Seems to be a hardware issue.
First things everyone will want to know are:
1. is the iMac's firmware up-to-date? There were two. Refer to this Apple Support article: Firmware updates for Intel-based Macs
2. the result, or not, from running the extended version of the Apple Hardware Test (located on your iMac's grey system Install Disc)?
3. when did this start, has it gotten worse, if sudden was there an event that was a coincidence?
4. if you have AppleCare, what did they say when you called?
got a 'grey screen of death'
If it was the message to restart your Mac, that's a kernel panic. Can be due to hardware or software problem.
the video card updates seem to only be for Aluminum iMacs...so I have not downloaded this pack
Don't bother with it, as it will not allow an install after you've downloaded it.
While your problem may very well be the video card or logic board, it could be the hard drive going out. Regardless which, you'll of course want to backup all important data immediately.

MSI 865PE MB and Geforce 2 vid cards

Hi!
I'm building a new system and using the MSI 865PE Neo2-LS motherboard. To save money, I was going to temporarily use my old Asus V7700 Geforce 2 GTS card in it. This card says it is 4x/2x AGP, but the 865PE says it will only work with an 8x/4x and a card that uses 1.5 volts.
I can't find any information about the power requirements for the Geforce 2. Additionally the card seems on the edge of compatibility with its 4x/2x rating.
Any advice as to whether it's safe to use it or not?
Thanks!
Al

if the VGA output is to your right and the AGP BUS is towards you then the pin is the 2'nd one on the right side.
Note that the pins are set in two levels in an interleaved fashion, the 1'st is lower and the one you need is on the higher level.
In AGP X2 cards the pin might be compleatly missing, so if the pin isn't there don't use the card.

Since your computer is an enterprise model and these are the consumer forums, I would recommend that you post this in the HP Enterprise Support Forums for better coverage. Someone over there might be familiar with this issue and might be able to assist you better.

Graphic card, graphic card macbook pro,

hey i want to know is it possible to instal a graphic card in a macbook pro 13'3 inch because i found one that has a spec which include the AMD Radeon HD 6750M graphics processor with 1GB of GDDR5 memory on 2.2GHz configuration, so i was wondering if that was even possible?

No. They are not cards: the chips is surface mounted to the logic board. The only way to upgrade is to buy a new laptop.

Is there a Replacement Program for 2009 iMacs with MXM Graphics Cards?

I have an iMac 24" Early 2009 with the Nvidia GeForce GT 120 256MB MXM graphics card that is freezing and crashing over-and-over, especially when I'm away and it's not connected to my 2nd display! Odd. I've done the usual (cleaned the iMac inside, run fsck, SMC reset, PRAM reset, repair permissions from boot USB, disconnected all peripherals, changed mice and keyboards, changed the HD, reinstalled the OS, run Onyx and so on) and finally decided that it's a faulty graphics card that only a replacement will fix. When I'm home it's more stable when connected via a Displayport DVI adapter to DVI cable to a 24" Dell display. When standalone (like when traveling with my iMac for long stints out of town) it's unusable. It won't run for longer than 30 minutes, often not even 10 minutes, then I get screen artifacts and freezes and then have to fsck to repair the drive before running it again. Only running it in Safe Mode will allow it to run reliably.
However, I believe that I found a stopgap solution. I installed a program which I downloaded after installing XCode called Quartz Debug which has apparently allowed me to disable Quartz Extreme, 2D Acceleration and Quartz GL.
Turning off all Quartz graphics enhancements makes this machine stable if not exactly completely "mac-like" in its performance, but it's at least usable under most conditions for long periods of time. I know of people who have replaced the MXM graphics card on this machine with good effect, but it's an expensive proposition and these cards are apparently few and far between. Has anyone done this?
Based on the large number of nearly identical complaints about this model, both here and elsewhere, it seems like this MXM graphics card is defective or Apple's drivers are defective . . . well maybe, but it very, very predictably crashes when the computer gets hotter and not even _extremely_ hot, but well within what would be normal operating temps for other machines.
I've disassembled and completely cleaned the inside and have replaced the HD with an SSD and removed the optical drive entirely so if anything I've reduced heat-producing devices from the interior of the device installed a fan control and keep the graphics card features mostly turned off.
I've looked for but have yet to see a recall or warranty replacement program for this device and no, I don't have Applecare. I've owned several Apple products in the last two decades and with the issues with Apple products in recent years, it seems like Applecare must be figured as part of any Apple purchase if reliability and ongoing support is desired.
Ironically, I have an Apple IIc and a Power Computing Power Tower 166 that still work just fine, thank you!

This cropped up on my wife's late 2009 model 27" iMac, too. Random freezes were encountered, unable to identify cause for months, then one day it started to become unable to complete a normal boot. Tech Tool Deluxe was the only direct indication as far as diagnostics are concerned. I've NEVER been abvle to get Apple's hardware diagnostic to run from the cloud, and we fianlly got it on a Techs' bench, AHT showed nothing wrong. As you said, Safe boot is the only way to get into the system, and performance under 10.8.5 is glacial.
Now the kicker - we DID have AppleCare, and this phase of the MXM graphics demise hit within 4 or 5 months of AppleCare expiration. There's no longer a flat-rate repair option, Apple doesn't have any stock of the video board to sell as a replacement part (was $169, or $179 w/no exchange) and even refurbs of this paltry (512MB VRAM) board can hit $300. I know Mac users have become 2nd-class citizens in Apple's business universe, but we're now looking at sub-42 month lifespans for hardware? At $2k for a machine that lacks touchscreen option, that's out of line.

Minimum requirements graphics card

I have been using Aperture for a couple of months and been quite pleased. All of a sudden I get the following error when trying to open the Application:
"Error. The installed graphics card does not meet the minimum requirements for Aperture."
Mac OS X 10.7.5
Aperture not sure of version cannot get in the application but purchased it about two months ago.
All software is up to date. I have made no changes to the graphics card.

"Error. The installed graphics card does not meet the minimum requirements for Aperture."
Reboot the system.
That error message is very typical for a situation, where you a accidentally booted into Safe Mode. In Safe Mode the advanced features of the graphics card are disabled and Aperture cannot launch, see: Mac OS X: What is Safe Boot, Safe Mode?
Regards
Léonie
The question is, how could it happen, that you are in Safe Mode? Do you have a wireless keyboard or mouse? Then you can accidentally be booting into Safe Mode, if you turn on the wireless devices while booting. It is safer, to turn them on before booting.

G570 graphics cards...

I was having problems with my graphics cards, getting errors so I uninstalled them.
after just reinstalling my intel Hd one, I did a quick windows experience test & have now got a score of 5.9.
Before I had a score of 5.0
Please can you explain to be the dual gfx cards in this machine.
I have the ATI one & the Intel one.
Which is the better card? I thought before that the ATI one was the more powerful, now Im just running the Intel one, im not so sure re the score.
Im guessing one is for battery life, the other is power.
Im not interested in battery life as I use it plugged in mostly.
Im currently downloading the ATI software from the lenovo support site, but it is going VERY slow.
When I tried from the ati site, using auto detect etc, it said it wasnt possible with this hardware.
confused???
please advise

you may get different scores due to drivers. if you have the latest driver for both, the score may change.
please, try to download/update the drivers from lenovo first.
(if it still takes long to download, you can try to download a little bit later )

Windows 7 driver for GeForce 320m Graphic Card and Broadcom wireless card

I just got my 11" MacAir (2011)and installed Windows 7 on it using Parallel software. Everything works fine except for the driver for the Broadcom BCM 43xx1.0 airport wireless card and for the GeForce 320m graphic card. Windows 7 cannot find the drivers. I have tried everything to find a solution: Downloaded the drivers from the Broadcom and NVIDIA websites, used the drivers that came with bootcamp and made changes to the nvao.inf file for the graphic card problems but nothing works. Does anyone know a solution to these problems? Many thanks.

Hi,
since Parallels is not an Apple product it would be better to use their own Support resources.
However, Parallels does not use the native (real) hardware of your Mac but virtualizes certain hardware.
The video adapter is a "VGA and SVGA with VESA 3.0 compatible Video Adapter" and the WiFi is mapped to a "Ethernet Virtual network card compatible with RTL8029".
For these virtual devices Parallels brings all drivers with it and names them "Parallels Tools" which you have to install manually while in our Parallels Windows virtual machine.
Refer to the Parallels User Guide http://download.parallels.com/desktop/v6/docs/en/ParallelsDesktop_UsersGuide/

I have a h8-1200ej and I updraged my graphics card to the Asus Geforce Gtx 750 ti but I got problems

So I put my new graphics card (asus geforce gtx750 ti) in my pc, but when I start up my computer, It beeps a few times and then all I get is a black screen. What's wrong?

Hi,
That particular NVIDIA GTX 750 is probably not compatible with your PC. Contact ASUS for a remedy. If ASUS can't remedy the situation then RMA the card and try one of the below NVIDIA GTX 750 graphics cards that will support a PC with a legacy BIOS.

Hello Niel
Thanks. I didn't realize that I can get up to a TB! Wow! What type of TB do I buy, any suggestions of specific ones? Is there G5 specific Tb disks to install? Or just any as long as they have the right measurement size? And what size do I need to remain within?

Want to add Video and Graphic Card to my computer system

I Notice that one of the users' in the Apple discussion Board is Listed, (AndyO) he has help me many times in the Past and was succesful in my problrm solution, would he might be able to help me with this?
I had Purchased the Game Spore Creature Creator the Starter Kit which is just the Creature creator game and not the actual game itself. I wasn't able to install the the game on my computer because I don't have the right or not at all Video and Graphic Card install on my computer. I had Contacted the Company "EA" that puts out the Game Spore, this is what they said what the game requirements are: The minimum system requirements for Spore and Spore the Galactic Edition for Mac are as follows:
* Mac OS X 10.5.3 Leopard or higher
* Intel Core Duo Processor
* 1024 MB RAM
* At least 345 MB of hard drive space for installation, plus additional space for created creatures. (260 MB for the Trial Edition)
* Video Card - ATI X1600 or NVidia 7300 GT with 128 MB of Video RAM, or Intel Integrated GMA X3100
This game will not run on PowerPC (G3/G4/G5) based Mac systems (PowerMac).
For computers using built-in graphics chipsets, the game requires at least: an Intel Integrated Chipset GMA X3100 or Dual 2.0GHz CPUs, or 1.7GHz Core 2 Duo, or equivalent
Supported Video Cards
ATI Radeon(TM) series
* X1600, X1900, HD 2400, HD 2600
NVIDIA GeForce series
* 7300, 7600, 8600, 8800
Intel(R) Extreme Graphics
* GMA X3100
and that I need to upgrade my system. Basically I need; ATI Radeon 1600 or NVIDIA Geforce 7300 and a INTEL Extreme Graphic Video Card-GMA X3100, in order to be able to install and play this game. Since I already have this game, I would like to be able to upgrade my computer system which brings me to ask; does somone know or refer me to a web site that has and sells these Video and Graphic Card and supports for the Mini Mac?
Plus they say that I need a 1020 of MB of Ram, I Have already found that 1024 MB of Ram but I just need those Video and Graphic Cards for my computer system. I am adding my computer system Profile to my discussion board to show you what I have on my system, would you be able to tell me if I would be able to add these Video and Graphic card and the memory or Ram 1024 to my computer system?
Note: Here is a web site that I am looking at to add the 1024 MB of Ram to my computer system:

Hi Trisha,
The only modern Mac's with video cards are the Mac Pro and Xserve (server) systems. They both are priced quite a bit higher than any Mac Mini.
Some systems, like the Mac Book Pro laptop can be ordered with different graphics cards, but that has be done when the system is built, as it is not replaceable once the system is built. To find out which systems, go to store.apple.com. For each system that you select, you can see if there's an option for a better video card.

Looking for Nvidea GeForce 6600 OR Similar Graphics Card for Quad G5 PPC

Hi there!
Wishing a Happy New Year to yo'all!
Was wondering whether someone might help me out with a minor issue I'm having...
I have recently acquired a Quad 2.5GHz PPC G5 (with PCIe). When I bought it, it came installed with a NVIDIA Quadro FX 4500 graphics card, which works just fine. Heard these cards are very good for 3D rendering, etc...
However... As I am an audio engineer, I don't need a flashy graphics card... Instead I need "flashy" sound cards...
I have two PCIe UAD-2 Quad cards for all my UAD plugin needs within Logic Pro... And I have PCIe Symphony X card for my Apogee (AD16X & DA16X) front end sound conversion. All which sound and work very well... So far so good!
But here's the problem... My Quad PPC has 4 PCIe slots, which should be fine for my arrangement i.e. one slot for graphics card, one for PCIe Symphony card, two for UAD-2 Quad cards... BUT the damnable NVIDIA Quadro FX 4500 takes up two PCIe slots!!!
I have looked on line to find out what the Quad 2.5GHz G5 PPC was originally supplied with: an Apple OEM Nvidea GeForce 6600. However these are rare and hard to come by now-a-days... And I can't wait forever till one pops up for sale.
So... Can anyone recommend to me a graphics card that will work in the Quad 2.5GHz G5 PPC... AND take up only one PCIe slot and be able to run a 30 inch DVI Apple display i.e. it needs two DVI ports???
I'd even do an out right swap for the NVIDIA Quadro FX 4500 and a good condition and working Apple OEM Nvidea GeForce 6600!? Heard this is more than a fair deal...
Cheers in advance!

Hi-
You can buy a Geforce 6600LE at We Love Macs. They aren't cheap, though.
This eBay seller has several of the 6600LE cards, at a much better price. The seller is very reliable (from experience) and carries the positive feedback to support my recommendation.
This 7800GT is also a good possibility. It takes only one slot, and provides much better performance than the 6600LE.
This flashed 7800GT is also an option. A flashed card is one that has the PC ROM replaced with Mac ROM. Again, this seller knows his stuff.....
As with the 6600LE, the 7800GT has a dual link DVI to support the 30" ACD.
After you get a replacement card, might try and get a few quid for the FX 4500 on eBay.
An original will sell better than the flashed models that are selling there.
