10.9.3 Upgrade - Causes GPU Panic Attacks

Since the upgrade on May 17 2014, my MAC Book Pro has been crashing constently.  It has crashed in many applications and in many scenarios. It is not hardware related given that my MAC has been nothing but stable until the upgrade.  I have read that 4K support for monitors was introduced as part of this release and since I my laptop going into a state GPU Panic, it only seems to make sense that it is related to an OSX bug.  Can someone please advise on what to do.
Thanks.

The root cause was a faulty logic board (and not 10.9.3 upgrade).  My MBP has been working without issue since the replacement.  As I have read in other threads (on this site and others), if you are getting GPU Panic attacks, chances are very good you have a hardware issue.

  • IMac 24" 3.06Ghz (early 2009) 8gb ram upgrade causing kernel panic

    When 2 x 4Gb ram modules are installed there is a kernel panic on startup, yet if I mix the old (2Gb) and the new (4Gb) in any slot/module combination to give me a total of 6Gb there is no problem.
    It seems the machine is maxing out at 6Gb but Apple states 8Gb as max
    New ram modules labeled: 4gb ddr3 pc3-8500 sodimm
    System:OSX 7.1

    Just found this:
    4 GB SODIMMs will not work in most Macs. 4 GB SODIMMs are relatively expensive. The Macs in the chart above listing 6 GB maximums will take one 4 GB plus one 2 GB, but two 4 GB modules crash the machine as soon as the OS tried to access more than 4096 MB of memory. The exceptions are the Early 2009 iMacs (not education model) and the Early 2009 MacBook Pro (except 2.4GHz) which can each take two 4 GB SODIMMs for a maximum of 8GB and, to some extent, the Late 2007 MacBook and later and the Mid 2007 MacBook Pro and later which can take one 4GB SODIMM along with one 2GB SODIMM for a maximum of 6GB.
    The above exceprt is from this website. 
    I wasn't aware that there was an "Education model" however I did buy it through the education store when I was in college, so perhaps this is why I am only able to get the 6 gig to work on my Early 2009.  I'd be interested to know if the other people in this thread having this issue also bought their iMacs from the education store. 

  • Panic Attack -- getting more often in past few hours

    Hello. I'm not sure if anyone can help me to dignose the cause of panic attack and more importantly know how to fix the problem.
    I'm using Photoshop CS5 and when I zoom in or scroll document up and down, panic attack happens. I thought the problem might be Wacom tablet but even when tablet unplugged (usb), the problem still occurs when I use scrolling on trackpad.
    I never had this problem before. The problem began few hours ago and now it is getting more often like every 10 min. Below are the report.
    Any help will be appreciated!

    You have the MacBookPro6,2—the Edsel of Macs. It may have the logic-board defect that was covered by a recall program that has now ended.
    Residents of the EU may be entitled to warranty service for up to six years after purchase.
    Make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store, or go to another authorized service provider, to have the machine tested. The routine hardware diagnostics used by service providers do not detect the fault. There is a specific test for this issue that Apple calls "VST" (for "Video Switching Test.") Ask for it. A "Failed" result means that the fault is present.
    You may be quoted a price of about $300 (in the U.S.) for a "depot repair," which involves shipping the unit to a central repair facility and takes about two weeks. For that flat fee, anything found wrong with it should be fixed, not just the logic board.
    Sometimes the replacement part is also defective, so be prepared for that possibility. If you decide to pay for a new logic board, test thoroughly during the 90-day warranty period on the repair. Some owners have reported that they went through as many as three replacement boards before getting one that worked.
    If you don't want to pay for the repair, you may (or may not) be able to work around the problem by disabling automatic graphics switching. To use the discrete graphics processor, you'll need a third-party utility to switch to it manually.
    Often the problems start after an OS upgrade. If the upgrade was recent, and you have backups, then you can revert to a previous OS X version.

  • GPU panic MacBook Pro 15'' Mid-2010

    Cheers to all,
    This is not the first, but I believe not the last thread about this issue. So here we go, I'm having GPU Panic attacks, and yes my MacBook Pro is Mid-2010, and yes it has a motherboard issue (like on most of the threads, symptoms are the same). Reasons why I'm writing are actually three:
    1. After having a chat with official Apple representative online, I was suggested to go to official Apple repair shop for diagnosis, so I've went and voila I need to change motherboard on my laptop. In France they evaluated it 560 euros, when my used laptop here costs around 600-800 euros - doesn't seem logical to me, but ok, I'd be willing to pay this money if not one phrase told by representative in the shop: "Warranty for new motherboard would be 3 months"... it means that I'd pay more than a half of the price of my laptop is worth now, for something that is not sure to be working properly e.g. in half of the year?? (here on forums people speak about that replacing motherboard is not always the solution, since one that'll be replaced can be faulty as well)
    2. Another point to say, is that I've noticed these errors appearing not after Mountain Lion, and not after installing Mavericks (or updates to it), but after doing SMC (System Management Control) reset (was suggested to do it by Blizzards in order to increase performance for their games - actually did help) somewhere in February. Another interesting observation is that when I've did it second time couple of days ago my GPU Panic errors had started to appear not once per week (fyi after first times, I've started using gfxCard, forcing my GT330M to run all the time), but now two times per days (latest one is below). Can there be a link of these errors to SMC?
    3. Would some of you recommend me a solution for my MacBook Pro without paying 560 euros for something that'd have warranty of 3 months? At this points my hopes are that this issue would be resolved in Yosemite - or wouldn't it? (seems like people who started receiving these errors in Mountain Lion didn't have resolutions after installing Mavericks) It's just sad, since it seems to me that the only solutions is actually getting rid of my good ol' laptop...
    3.1. Little P.S. question here: laptops that just have Intel graphic chips (e.g. 13'' inch one) can't experience this sort of errors at all?

    zhanghang0529,
    Before, I'd want to receive reply on that topic from someone who had done it, because I don't want to create extra problems with downgrade.
    Concerning 'temporary' solutions: yeah, they work, like gfxCard, heating the GPU unit for some people (althouth I find it a little extreme), but it's not as it should be, this is not native idea that was born in Apple design offices. And I want to laptop to work as it was designed to work...
    About new laptop: call me old school, but I prefer things to be fixed before really getting rid of them. I went to local Apple authorized repair shop, but as in your case, they could only recommend me to buy new motherboard or the new laptop.

  • In less than 2 weeks, I had a panic attack on my Macbook 10.6.8. What does this mean?

    In less than 2 weeks, my macbook 10.6.8 had a panic attack. Shortly before it happened 2 weeks ago, I got this call from someone saying he was from Apple and he got a report that something was wrong with my computer. Since I hadn't called any one I thought it was a prank call and I hung up. Shortly after that I received the message to power down my computer. Do people from Apple make calls like this? I tried to find the number but I think it one of those caller unavailable, that's why I hung up. What could be causing this panic attack? Since 2007, it's happened before but few and far between. I did add new memory about a month ago but other than that, I've added nothing. I hope you can help me because I am on very limited budget and can't buy a new one. Thanks for your help.

    The call as well as any similar email messages claiming to be from Apple are all phishing scams. We can't help you until you post a kernel panic log: Mac OS X- How to log a kernel panic. Visit The XLab FAQs and read the FAQ on diagnosing kernel panics.

  • GPU Panic with Thunderbolt Display after upgrading to 10.9.3

    Hi everybody! I have a MacBook Pro Retina Mid 2012 and use it with a Thunderbolt Display 27". After upgrading to 10.9.3, a GPU Panic error started annoying me. All displays (thunderbolt and mac) go black and I have to hold down the power button to force the shutdown and then power on.
    Sometimes, I connect the display and it works for some days. Sometimes, it crashes just when I connect the thunderbolt display. It's just not what we expect from such premium product.
    I've read the posts similar to this, did a PRAM reset, etc, but none of this worked for me. Any ideas?
    This is the last crash log I had today. Please anybody help me! Thanks.

  • CPU/GPU Panic Causes daily unexpected shutdowns 10.8.4

    Almost daily while I am reading e-mails on my Airmail application or going through my RSS on Newsbar, my computer unexpectedly shuts down and restarts giving me a long error report. Please see below.
    I have reinstalled my OS then only brought over my files folder by folder from a external drive (not Time Machine). Then reinstalled only the apps I use frequently, but the problem persists. My 3 year Apple Care ran out yesterday, though when I call about this issue, they just tell me to reinstall the OS.
    Can anyone help?

    Do you have a 15" mid-2010 MacBook Pro? If so...
    Mid-2010 15" MacBook Pros - the bad NVIDIA GPU
    If you're having frequent kernel panics with your 15" mid-2010, or intermittent screen problems, the problem is, more than likely, the faulty NVIDIA GPU found in a number of those machines.
    Here's just a sample of a kernel panic log that points to the faulty NVIDIA card:

    Here's the "official" Apple take on the issue - but the very real kernel panics need not be preceded by 'Intermittent black screen or loss of video'... in fact, you might not experience any video problems at all. Although video problems can certainly be a portent of things to come…
    So what can you do? Print out a copy of your kernel panic and a copy of the Knowledge Base article and take them, along with your machine, to your local Apple Store or an Apple Authorized Service Provider. They should be more than willing to install a new logic board at no cost. I have no idea why this faulty GPU is making the headline here on the MacBook Pro forum so often now - could it be because Mountain Lion is just bringing the issue to a head more readily? I don't know - I only know that we're seeing more and more of these kernel panics of late.
    Good luck,

  • GPU panics after Windows 8.1 install

    Hello all,
    I am experiencing a "funny" issue though I am not laughing...
    Am using a mid-2012 15" Macbook Pro with retina. The hardware is great and I have never had any issues with it. OS X just ***** - in so many ways - and this is my personal preference. I have had plans to install and switch to Windows 8 but never had the motivation. Now, as I recently upgraded to OS X Yosemite, got the dreaded WLAN dropping issue. It is just hilarious how unresponsive Apple has been to that problem... I also have a Macbook Air which has exactly the same issue so... Decided that it is now a perfect time to ditch OS X for good and switch over to Windows on both Macbooks starting with my Pro...
    I prepared Bootcamp, Windows 8.1 install media... and did the Windows 8.1 install (still have OS X on another partition). Windows installed fine and worked OK: until I installed Bootcamp drivers. I suspect it is the NVIDIA graphics driver (installed by Bootcamp v 5.1.2) which causes Windows 8.1 to crash. The system may run for a minute or an hour. But, inevitably, it will crash to a black screen.
    Now, the funny thing is, once Windows has crashed, it will no longer restart. System will die on Windows startup logo. It gets even funnier when I reboot to boot menu and choose to boot OS X. It crashes in the apple logo boot screen, too! So neither of the OS'es boot! Several boot attempts later (even did cmd+opt+P+R a few times) the OS X finally boots. And reports that there's been a GPU panic fault...
    I have now repeated the above mentioned process (installed Windows 8 from scratch, installed graphics drivers, got Windows 8.1 to crash, got both OS'es to crash on boot, got OS X running again after several boot attempts, and - finally - OS X to report GPU Panic). Here I am, just laughing to myself hysterically... What the heck is going on?
    I need to add that I have NEVER seen a GPU panic on this Macbook before. There has been absolutely no problems with the hardware - ever. And now, with OS X running again, there are no issues whatsoever.
    So does the Bootcamp REALLY work with Windows 8.1 on this HW. And how the heck do I get rid of OS X for good?
    Jouko

    Just to report back on this issue: solved, but not in the way I would have liked to see.
    That friggin' Macbook pro got toast. In age of just 26 months. The GPU is fried. This first surfaced only when running Windows, as it
    uses only the external NVIDIA GPU. At first there was no problem running OS X, as my use is not very GPU intensive and most of the time the integrated intel GPU was in use and it shows no problems. Now, a few weeks later, the black screen crashes are frequent in OS X too - whenever Nvidia is switched on.
    I am so ****** off with Apple... Have left the Macbook for a "indie repair specialist" to solder in a new GPU. Should that fail the Mac goes straight into dumpster. Needless to say, will never buy another.

  • Constant GPU panics with a twist

    Hello all
    I have been having a difficult issue that it seems apple has trouble fixing and so has everyone Ive talked to as well. 
    After upgrading to Maverick from snow leopard I have started get GPU panics at a rate of 1 or 2 a week when I had none before the upgrade.  I do have a 2010 MBP 15in which I had checked for the TS4088 error after the first 2 panics.  My machine tested good and passed the VST test or atleast that is what I asked to have run at the store.   Now I gave them the fact of the matter as the first 2 panic seemed to happen in the same application(garrys mod), but now there is no pattern in applications(mail, quicktime, vlc, firefox, word, Premiere).  I have also been having the computer go black recently with no luck getting to wake up as if its forced to sleep but doesnt respond to any commands to wake it back up but also doesnt cause an offical crash report to show up. 
    Now I have reset the SMC/PRAM and updated everything on the system and run a HDD smart test and memory test which all passed.  Now I know the logitech driver doesnt cause the crash as i dont have it installed on my windows/bootcamp side and I get the equivelent of a gpu panic as the kernal crashes on the nvidia card when its active and nothing fixes that as well.
    Now i have seen using the gfxCardStatus should fix my issue but I need to use my nvida card for video editing and shot rendering so i cant be stuck on the internal.  I have also exceeded the 3 year lenght as I was trying to see if i could fix my laptop before handing it over as I cant be without a laptop as they are required for my classes and job at college and since it passed the VST the genius said I would have to pay for the more detailed inspection by the backroom techs; otherwise he couldnt do much more for me.  This hasnt been my first logic board failure either I had the first go out the first year when the USB  bus gave out from what im guessing was some surge caused by my power brick shorting out internally and almost catching fire.
    Here is my most recent crash log this is the exact same message ive been getting for each crash.

    So is it possible to past the VST but still have a bad GPU? 

    Kernel panics cannot be directly triggered by user applications. It's almost always a hardware problem or a bug in a kernel driver.
    The most likely problem is that you've got some bad RAM. The other less likely problem would be a video card driver bug, but I don't see anything like that in your panic log.

  • ITunes 7 Kernel Panic Attack Errors upon Opening

    I am really, really mad. Since I upgraded to iTunes 7, so far I have had a total of SIX Kernel Panic Attack errors. I am not lying. I used Disk Utility and checked to see if there was anything wrong, and there isn't. I am really, really frustrated. I can't even open up iTunes without the screen going black and telling me to restart my computer.
    What do I do? Bring my computer to the Apple store and let them do whatever? And I have my music on my iPod, but if they had to I don't know-- reinstall iTunes, would I have the same issues?

    I have seen a lot of kernel panics since either iTunes 7 or OS X 10.4.8 (which happened almost at the same time). Still looking for a cause/solution.

  • Mid-2012 retina macbook pro nvidia gpu panics

    I bought my mid-2012 retina macbook pro in September 2012. It is 8 months out of warranty. I always look after it and use it carefully. Since 2 weeks ago, I encountered the problems below,
    1.turn into black screen after running for about 15 mins, but the system is still running because the keyboard is still functional. After reboot, i record the log as below, it shows that it is a GPU Panic.
    2. display would not turn on after pressing the power button but can still hear the apple start up chime and the system keep running with the screen
    off.
    3. after erased the hard drive and re-installed Mavericks. Under a new installed system, it can run normally for about 1 day, after that especially after a shut down or restart, the problems above came back.
    I am currently working in Thailand but I have no plan to go back to the US in a short period of time. I brought the laptop to the local apple service, they said it is certainly the logic board or GPU failure and the parts need to be replaced. The cost of the replacement is around half of the price that I paid for this laptop. I feel really disappointed so I called apple telephone service if there is anything that they can help. However, instead of helping me allocate the cause of these problems, the suggestion I received is to buy a new Mac Book and accept the fact that I am just unlucky in this case.This is the first time in my life to encounter mother board or GPU failure excluding artificial damage, they are supposed to be reliable espeically under the name of Apple. It is just so hard for me to accept it.
    Below is the system message of the problem, it would be much appreciated if anyone can give me some suggestion that can help me to fix my problem at the lowest cost. Thank you very much.

    Just started getting these too. The only workaround I've found online is disable the discrete graphics card using gfxCardStatus. I can't use my multiple monitors when using just the integrated graphics card, but it's allowed me to limp along until I have time to get into an Apple Store.

  • Mid 2010 MacBook Pro GPU Panic

    Right, I've had this issue for a while now but it's happening so regularly now that it's infuriating.
    My Mid 2010 15' MacBook Pro often suddenly turned off. The screen flashes white then it reboots. It's always when I'm doing things, but nothing taxing (Uploading files, listening to iTunes, etc). It's having a GPU panic, and I know this model has issues with the GPU. However when I took it to an Apple Store a few months back they told me nothing was wrong with it, they even ran tests for three days and said it worked perfectly. However it's still insanely slow (Takes 3 minutes to just open up chrome), and the panics are still happening.
    I'm not sure what to do, I'm pretty sure it's the GPU issue with these models, but Apple aren't seeing it when testing it, but it's still happening. What should I do?
    Here's the crash report from one of the most recent ones:

    You have the MacBookPro6,2, the Edsel of Macs. It may have the logic-board defect that was covered by this recall.
    Make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store, or go to another authorized service provider, to have the machine tested. The routine hardware diagnostics used by service providers do not detect the fault. There is a specific test for this issue that Apple calls "VST" (for "Video Switching Test.") Ask for it. A "Failed" result means that the fault is present. However, according to reports, some units may pass the test, and yet still be deemed eligible for repair under the program. Your experience may vary.
    Print the first page of the panic report, if any, and the support page linked above, and bring them with you.
    Note that the recall only applies within three years of purchase. After that, Apple may refuse the service. In that case, you may be quoted a price of about $300 (in the U.S.) for a "depot repair," which involves shipping the unit to a central repair facility and takes about two weeks. For that flat fee, anything found wrong with it should be fixed, not just the logic board.
    The model was discontinued on February 24, 2011, so the recall has nominally ended. Some units may have been sold after that date by Apple as refurbished, or by resellers as new, and they might still be covered.
    Some owners report that their unit was repaired under the program after the deadline had passed. Others report that the repair was covered by the extended warranty from a credit-card issuer. Again, your experience may vary.
    Sometimes the replacement part is also defective, so be prepared for that possibility.
    If it's too late for your unit to be repaired under the program, and you don't want to pay for a new logic board, you may be able to stop the panics by disabling automatic graphics switching. To use the discrete graphics processor, you'll need athird-party utility to switch to it manually.
    Often the panics start to happen after a system upgrade. If the upgrade was recent, and you have backups, then you can revert to a previous OS X version.
    If you're dissatisfied with Apple's response, please keep in mind that no one here represents the company or can help with customer-service issues.
    Back up all data on the internal drive(s) before you hand over your computer to anyone. If privacy is a concern, erase the data partition(s) with the option to write zeros* (do this only if you have at least two complete, independent backups, and you know how to restore to an empty drive from any of them.) Don’t erase the recovery partition, if present.
    *An SSD doesn't need to be zeroed.

  • Using 2 memory modules causes kernel panic

    In early 2009 I upgraded my memory from 512 to 2 GB, 2 modules of 1GB each. This past January (just shy of 2 years later) I got a kernel panic. I tested running with a single module, and one module caused panic, the other was fine. Both slots function with the good module. So I got two new matched replacement chips from OWC, put them in and got kernel panics during the boot process. Yesterday I spent testing memory configurations and found this:
    1. chip 1 alone runs fine and passes all Rember memory tests in slot 1.
    2. chip 2 alone runs fine in slot 1 and 2, passes all memory tests in slot 2.
    3. chips 1 and 2 together, in either slot, cause kernel panics before the OS is loaded.
    Has anyone seen this problem? Will it go away if I use top of the line (Apple) memory chips?
    When the kernel panics started back in January, an AppleCare advanced advisor said he had the same problem and he had to remove one module to stop the kernel panics. Running on 1GB doesn't work for me because I tend to max out the memory and programs like Mail, Safari, Photoshop, etc. become unreponsive all together.
    thanks -

    I have spent more time on the phone with OWC about this than I care to remember. Their latest request is that I use an eraser to clean the metal contacts on the chips; if that fails, I get to send the chips back. Whether I get a refund or yet another set of replacement chips, I don't know. They are not experts on Apple machines, that is clear.

  • Macbook pro mid-2012 GPU-panic

    Hi, my Macbook Pro mid-2012 has recently started rebooting sporadically. After some investigation I found out that it is caused by GPU Panic which happens EVERY TIME when discrete GPU (NVidia 650M) is enabled and its temperature goes over 64-65 degrees (Celsius, according to iStat).
    It seems it started to happen after one of the OS updates.
    Did you faced this issue? Is it software or hardware related?  Are there any workarounds/fixes? 
    Now I am using gfxCardStatus to use Integrated GPU only, but it makes not possible using any 3D-games on this laptop.
    Thanks,
    Nikolay

    Are you running any anti-virus or internet security software? Any cleaning, tune-up, "keeper," or optimization apps that did not come preinstalled?
    Are you set up to do torrent downloading?
    Are you using backup software other than Time Machine, like that which comes bundled with a external hard drive?
    Are you using an online backup serviceother than iCloud (Carbonite; MS OneDrive; Google Drive)?
    Those can run up the internal temps.
