9600M GT hard crash MacBook Pro 5,2

Hello there guys,
I've got a mid-2009 MacBook Pro 5,2 17-inch and it has been absolutely fantastic for all of these years and I've been very happy with it.
I do, however, have this one irritating problem. Whenever I am using the 9600M GT graphics card the laptop will, without any warning whatsoever, hard crash without warning.
This is completely random, it makes no difference if I am doing something CPU/GPU intensive or not. When the hard crash happens the mouse is unresponsive, the whole system is unresponsive and the only thing left to do is a hard reset. If there is audio playing it will also loop the last 2 - 3 seconds of it.
On the 9400M I have no problems like this whatsoever, but it's not quite as smooth as the 9600M GT especially since I'm using Yosemite.
A worrying symptom is that I will get these hard crashes no matter what operating system I am using. So these issues occur on various Linux distributions as well as Yosemite. It seems to happen when the graphics card changes clock speed.
So it seems that this is a hardware problem, but I haven't encountered any other symptoms which would indicate that it is indeed a graphics card problem.
Anybody know what this could be?

It seems that your MBP is having kernel panics.  Use these instructions to log and post one:

Your MBP may be having GPU problems.

  • Use of discrete graphics causes hard crash - (MacBook Pro 2010 with ML 10.8.2/3)

    I have a client with a Mid-2010 MacBook Pro. He was having crashes with Lion so I upgraded him to Mountain Lion 10.8.2. The crashes did not go away.
    I troubleshooted and with the help of gfxCardStatus noticed that every time his machine went to use the discrete graphcis he got the gray hard crash screen and system had to restart. Back then I tried a beta of 10.8.3 and it didn't help.
    I noticed that if I created another user account (profile) it would not crash when the discrete graphics card was called upon.
    So, I re-installed the OS (to 10.8.2), created a new profile and manually migrated pictures, documents, keychain, mail, movies, music and re-installed the relevant Applications. Everything was working fine and my client went on a trip to Europe and soon the crashes began again. Then he upgraded to 10.8.3 and the crashes got even more frequent (it seems 10.8.3 puts more applications on the discrete graphics list so it switches even more).
    I am wondering what could have caused the crashes to begin. It was before he upgraded to 10.8.3. Some application or something he was using must have changed a setting or corrupted something to cause the crashing to begin. I haven't done this yet, but I'm sure if I create another user account it won't crash on it.
    Any ideas where to turn my attention to see what is causing the shift from his working user account to a crash-causing one?
    He has iLife, Office 2011, Final Cut Pro X, iPhoto Library Manager, VLC, Audacity, DropBox, FileMaker Pro 11, Flip4Mac Player, Fuze, GotoAssist, Handbrake, Skype, iSkySoft DVD Creator, iSkySoft Video Convertor, Onyx and Skype.
    I know there are *MANY* others having problems with the automatic graphics card switching and it seems some are having more problems when gfxCardStatus is installed?

    Take a copy of the article with you when you go for service. They need to run a SPECIAL diagnostic to decide whether you have this problem. Do not leave until they run the special diagnostic. The "overnight run" does not detect this problem.
    If they confirm you have the problem, they will replace the graphics chip, which is part of the motherboard. be prepared to hand over your Mac for depot repair. (Your backups must be up-to-date).

  • Crash MacBook Pro 2010

    Hello,
    I don't know why my question is not here anymore as I posted this two days ago?
    So again:
    Hello,
    history of my MacBook Pro 17 inch from 2010 can be read here Black Screen on MacBook Pro i7
    As you see there was always a problem with the graphic card. Nevertheless it worked flawlessly until last week.
    I remember that I upgraded to 1Password 4. Since then I had unexpected crashes of Firefox, Finder and at least also the computer shut down without warning.
    When I was installing an upgrade for Parallels the MacBook went down, when I tried to restart it: no volume was found!
    I started from an extern hard drive copy, which I had made with Carbon Copy Cloner. With DiskWarrior I was able to save the data but not to repair the intern volume. Also Disk Utility could not do that. So I formatted the intern volume and did an clean installation of Mavericks without importing any user content
    As I worked now from the extern hard drive, copying the saved data back to the intern drive, the MacBook suddenly crashed again and I even could not start it from the extern drive anymore!
    I went to Comspot (Apple Dealer) where they checked the hardware. No problem was found. Strange enough, when they repaired the intern volume with DiskWarrior it was there again! But the extern hard drive could not be repaired with it.
    Now I felt really frustrated and alone.  With this hint https://discussions.apple.com/thread/5279792?tstart=0 I was able to save the data from the extern hard drive.
    After days of installing a clean Mavericks and installing all Applications manually I am now nearly back again where I was before (did NOT install the 1Password 4, but old version 3)
    BUT:
    - I have unexpected crashes of the Finder
    - sometimes when I click New Start, Finder crashes and a new start will not be done
    - some Applications quit directly when they are started (Winclone 4)
    I feel that the whole system is not as stable as before and are frightened.

    Have you checked third party software support sites?
    Sometimes you can have an updates to 2 3rd party softwares and they suddenly don't play well together.

  • Motion crashes - Macbook Pro Software update and Firmware update

    Anyone out there that is working with Motion 3.0.1 on one of the new Macbook Pros (Santa Rosa) and has installed both the Macbook Pro Software Update 1.0 and the EFI Firmware update (for the 15 inch models)???
    Motion 3 crashes on the Macbook Pros with the MBP Software update installed (see thread:
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1028746&tstart=45
    The solution so far is to wipe the hard drive and reinstall everything from scratch EXCEPT the software update 1.0. However, I'm trying to find out if anyone has installed the Firmware update, which requires the software update to be installed first, and if they are running smoothly.
    ???

    I just restarted then tried to open InDesign again and it let me download a java update that seems to have fixed it.

  • Aperture in full screen mode seems to crash MacBook Pro with Retina

    To anyone who has an idea;
    I have a brand new (couple months old) 15" MacBook Pro w Retina (16GB RAM, 2.3GHz i7) and I can repeatedly crash it just by running Aperture in a full screen mode and flipping through the photos (I have 21000+ photos and I was cleaning them so it required a lot of flipping back and forth, deleting but no editing). It appears as if it was running out of RAM and not releasing it back. I have all the latest updates installed (always) and I know this is not related to my machine since within the first week of having it I noticed a dent on my screen and Apple sent me a brand new machine. I could replicate this behaviour on both machines.
    To mitigate the restarts, I use FreeMemory Pro app set at "freeing" RAM once it drops to 4GB but if I push the Aperture too fast (and I do not mean major editing but just simply going through many photos in full screen mode, viewing them), I still crash it.
    I was wondering if there is anyone else with something similar and if you have any tips. I have reported it to Apple.

    Hi,
    I'm having exactly the same hard- and software configuration like you, Gordito73 - up to date of course as well. Aperture continues to crash after it really seams to run out of memory while editing lots of photos with many different effects. -.-

  • Graphics card crash - MacBook Pro - AOE3

    Hi,
    Yesterday I was playing Age of Empires III for Mac, and at the start of a Skirmish mission, where there wasn't much going on yet, the game seized, and then after a while the screen started flickering to black in these big horizontal chunks... I was unable to quit, restart, force quit, nothing.
    Pretty much the whole bottom of the screen went black, while a middle part was flashing on and off.
    I'm afraid there might be something wrong with my graphics card.
    Here's the crash report after I force-shutdown my MBP, and started it again:
    Also, the MacBook Pro is only a few months old and there seems to be other problems:
    1. There's dust under the glass of my screen!
    2. When I try to put a CD in, it gets caught on some stuff, and I have to jimmy it around to get it inside
    3. The bottom of the laptop creeks really loud when it's on my lap (which isn't often, but still, worrying and not very Apple-ish noise every time I handle it), the case moves, etc.
    What should I do? I've had laptops repaired in the Apple Store a few times before, and they always ended up coming up worse than they went in. New problems, etc.

    Since you haven't had good luck at your local Apple Store, maybe you should consider sending your Mac off to the Repair Depot for diagnosis and repair. Call Apple and tell them about all of the troubles you have been having. You might also try running the extended version of the Apple Hardware test--if you get any error codes, that would point to a specific hardware fault.
    My niece did this, and the turnaround was really fast. She sent hers off on a Tuesday evening, and got it back the following Thursday morning. From what I hear, the repair depot is really good.
    Be sure to make a good backup of your data before sending it in. Sometimes they erase the hard drive and reinstall the OS during the troubleshooting process. If you have replaced the RAM, send it in with the original Apple RAM.
    If the problem is intermittent, be sure to include a screen shot and the crash report.
    Good luck!

  • Envy 110 D411a causes kernel panic that crashes MacBook Pro

    I posted this 10 months ago, with no response.
    My Model D411a Envy 110 (PN: CQ809A   SN: CN264C228R05QR) is on an AT&T gateway/router.  We have a 13" MacBook Pro running OSX 10.7.5, a 13" MacBook Air running 10.8.5 and an iPad also on the same network.
    Often, when I try to print a page from the internet from the MB Pro to the Envy 110, it causes a kernel panic on the Mac that crashes it, requiring a lengthy re-boot.  The display shows a big black box with the message that I have to re-start the Mac, starting with a complete re-boot - printed in several languages.  This does not always happen, but often enough to be a major problem.  It has not happened with the MB Air or iPad.
    I have an identical printer in Florida that has not had this problem, as far as I can recall.  The gateway/router there is from Century Link.
    An Apple "Genius Bar" guy suggested this is caused by HP using kernel extensions in its software, which no other printer manufacturers use.  I now own six HP printers.  I have had some problems keeping three of them going with the AT&T set-up and the same computers, plus a pre-Intel Mac Mini.  The oldest of the printers is an HP LaserJet 4ML, which is so old it has a long white beard — but still runs.  I hate just to abandon HP Printers, and the Envy is the best physical fit both here and in our Florida RV, but having it crash my laptop (most used) as much as half the time I try to print from the net makes it a problem rather than a solution.
    I can't even find a reference to "kernel" much less "kernel panic" in any of the forums here, which adds to the feeling that no one knows what I'm even talking about.
    If anyone out there has any advice to offer, I'd really appreciate it before I have to toss the printer and find one from another manufacturer.
    Thanks in advance,
    Dante

    Hi Dante,
    From the post i understand that you are having issue with the MacBook Pro(Lion) with Envy 110.
    Can you help me understand what all other printers have been installed on the same MacBook
    We can try to uninstall the printer using scrubber/Reset the printing system and reinstall the printer with the software available on Web. (ENVY-110-series_v12.14.0.dmg).
    Note: Performing this step will delete all the printer from the MacBook, and should be reinstalled.
    Use Scrubber Uninstallation:
    Go to Applications>Hewlett-Packard , Press and Hold the "CTRL", "ALT","CMD" simultaneously click on Uninstall.
    Reset Printing System:
    1.Open Print and Scan from System Preferences
    2.CTRL Click or Right Click on the Printer box on the Left side and Choose " Reset Printing System"
    3. Click OK
    Do Repair Disk Permission
    1. Open Applicaion Folder>>Utilities>>Disk Utility.
    2. Sele t the hard drive containing the boot volume.
    3. Go to First Aid Tab and select Reprir Disk Permission.
    Download and run the driver from web and add the printer to queue.
    See if it helps.
    Thanks

  • Random crashes Macbook Pro Retina 15"

    Hello all,
    I have the: Macbook Pro Retina 15" Late 2013 model, with the 16GB RAM and 512GB SSD, running on: OS X 10.9.3 (13D65).
    Now i have random crashes when i'm using my laptop, sometimes with only Safari open sometimes when i'm gaming. Also i have sometimes that when i resume my macbook from "hibernate/sleep" whatever you want to call it that my top bar (where the Apple logo is displayed) is black, this won't go away untill i completly restart my macbook. The strange thing is, it is very hard to reproduce the problem.
    Does anyone out here have the same problem or know some fixes?
    The following things i already tried:
    - Resetting SMC
    - Running AHT (Apple Hardware Check) -> shows everything is fine
    - Repairing and checking disk permisions.

    I don't know if it are "kernel panics" best way to log it is to click "report to apple" when it occurs? Is it allowed to zip all the files in the "/Library/Logs/DiagnosticReports " path, upload them and post link here, that way you can check out wich file you need to see?
    I can only find 1  .panic file i think this is because i always click "cancel" instead of "report to apple"
    Here are the contents of the .panic file i found:

  • Daily Kernel crashes Macbook Pro

    Hello all,
    I am having a problem with my late 2013 MacBook Pro (Retina display,  2,3 GHz Intel Core i7, 16 GB 1600 MHz DDR3, Intel Iris Pro 1024 MB,  OS X 10.9.2 (13C64) (and I use Firefox 29.0.)
    I am experiencing daily crashes, some kernel as can be seen below, and some just simple freezes where nothing can be done besides a forced re-start. Can someone please advice or explain where the problem lies?
    Thank you in advance!
    2 examples I had today:

    some things to check:
    Does this happen in Firefox only? Because both reports show you were in Firefox when it happened.
    Have you tried uninstalling LittleSnitch, as it's the last loaded kext in both cases
    If both of the above don't work, I suspect the filesystem (ie: bad or corrupted hard drive) OR Memory. (ie: did you have new RAM installed, or maybe try taking one of the modules out)
    possible fixes:
    check harddrive for errors using disk utility (do a google search on ' disk utility mac disk first aid' )
    do a hardware-test (boot holding the D key, connect to the internet first) and find out what part is going bad.

  • Backup showing up on internal hard drive - MacBook Pro

    I bought my first Mac ever a few days ago, and I am very pleased in spite of the slight learning curve! I have a MacBook Pro, 13 in, with Retina. I did a backup with Time Machine onto my external hard drive. Again, no problems. But, when I checked out system information and looked under storage, I saw 48 GB taken up by backup! What is that all about?  Is there a way to delete that and keep all backups on the external drive? Thanks!

    That's a local snapshot
    You can disable:
         Open Terminal (in Applications/Utilities)
         Enter: sudo tmutil disablelocal
    Backups on the External Drive will not be affected.

  • Connecting thunderbolt HD crashes macbook pro

    I have Macbook pro 17" early 2011. running Mavericks 10.9.1.
    Every time I connect thunderbolt drive (Lacie 2 TB rugged portable) Computer has kernel panic and crashes.
    This corrupts the partition map which I have been only able to repair by a reinstal of OS.
    This does not occur on my 11" AIR also running 10.9.1.
    After 3 crashes partion map so damaged I cannot reboot & have to reinstal.
    Any ideas on how to fix this?
    Below is the crash log:

    Wow I had no idea, what anti virus - malware software do you recommend?
    You're running Mavericks so you already have it. OS X already includes everything it needs to protect itself from viruses and malware, and has for the past several OS X versions. Keep it updated with software updates from Apple.
    A much better question is "how should I protect my Mac":
    Never install any product that claims to "speed up", "clean up", "optimize", or "accelerate" your Mac. Without exception, they will do the opposite.
    Never install pirated or "cracked" software, software obtained from dubious websites, or other questionable sources. Illegally obtained software is almost certain to contain malware.
    Don’t supply your password in response to a popup window requesting it, unless you know what it is and the reason your credentials are required.
    Don’t open email attachments from email addresses that you do not recognize, or click links contained in an email:
    Most of these are scams that direct you to fraudulent sites that attempt to convince you to disclose personal information.
    Such "phishing" attempts are the 21st century equivalent of a social exploit that has existed since the dawn of civilization. Don’t fall for it.

    Popups themselves cannot infect your Mac, but many contain resource-hungry code that will slow down Internet browsing.

    The most serious threat to your data security is phishing. To date, most of these attempts have been pathetic and are easily recognized, but that is likely to change in the future as criminals become more clever.
    OS X viruses do not exist, but intentionally malicious or poorly written code, created by either nefarious or inept individuals, is nothing new.
    Never install something without first knowing what it is, what it does, how it works, and how to get rid of it when you don’t want it any more.
    If you elect to use "anti-virus" software, familiarize yourself with its limitations and potential to cause adverse effects, and apply the principle immediately preceding this one.
    Most such utilities will only slow down and destabilize your Mac while they look for viruses that do not exist, conveying no benefit whatsoever - other than to make you "feel good" about security, when you should actually be exercising sound judgment, derived from accurate knowledge, based on verifiable facts.
    Do install updates from Apple as they become available. No one knows more about Macs and how to protect them than the company that builds them.
    Summary: Use common sense and caution when you use your Mac, just like you would in any social context. There is no product, utility, or magic talisman that can protect you from all the evils of mankind.

  • Hard Drive/MacBook Pro

    I am just starting to move from Final Cut Express to Final Cut Pro. I will use FCP on both a Mac Pro and MacBook Pro.
    When I edit with the laptop I plan on importing all my video into an external 7200rpm hard drive. Most of the material will be HD.
    I was thinking of buying a G-Technology drive. I noticed that some are called G-DRIVE and others are called G-RAID. What's the difference? Does is really matter? Do you think that 500GB is sufficient for HD editing projects that range from two minutes to one hour?
    And can you please suggest a couple of other quality alternatives.

    G-Raid...two drives tied together (raided together) to increase speed performance. G-Drive, a single drive...a tad slower. If you are going to be editing AVCHD, that imports as ProRes, you will want the G-Raid. The G-RAID3 is darn solid.

  • Windows guy looking hard at MacBook Pro

    I have been looking at Macs for a long time and find myself in need of a laptop computer. I do 70-80% of my work in Photoshop/Dreamweaver/InDesign small amount in Illustrator. I currently run XP-Pro on all my computers. Vista isn't looking very attractive to me.
    A lot of my work is database stuff and I need to use programs that aren't available on the Mac. Paradox, Access, Alpha5. I also use Corel x3 and I need to run Street Atlas USA.
    I have been looking at the VMWare's solution for running XP applications and it looks really good from what I have seen.
    I guess my questions are:
    1. How much of a MacBook Pro do I need? I can't afford to max it all the way out.
    2. Will the USB ports be available to Street Atlas USA when running under VMWare in OSX for my GPS?
    3. Maybe there is a Mac program that is superior to Street Atlas USA?
    4. I use a Spam software program on my XP by Cloudmark that is a really nice Spam killer program, it isn't available on Mac, is there a really good Spam program for Mac?
    I have many more questions, but that should be enough for now.
    Thanks,
    Kirk

    Kirk,
    Given that you will be using your MBP to do mostly graphics-related things, I do think the 17" would be best for you, and further, that the Hi-Res display would be best. There are 4 options: Standard Resolution Matte, Hi-Res Matte, Standard Glossy, Hi-Res Glossy. While the glossy displays have more "wow" factor, the mattes have truer colors. Most graphically-inclined users will lean toward matte for the truer colors. My recommendation is for the 17" Hi-Res matte.
    The power adapter for the Macbook Pro is the "Magsafe" adapter. The "brick" is about 3 or 4 inches on a side, and about an inch thick. Integrated into one corner of the brick is the AC power supply; it comes with 2 interchangeable, molded connectors that fit to the brick, and become the corner: one provides a 6-foot AC cord with 3-prong plug; the other has a flip-out (duck bill) 2-prong plug (for plugging the brick directly into the outlet). The cord on the DC side is phone-line thin, also about 6 feet, and has the Magsafe connector on the end. On the brick, there are 2 flip-out arms onto which you can wind the this cord for storage. The design of the entire setup is brilliant.
    You'll get the most mileage out of a Brenthaven bag for your Macbook Pro. It has WAY more than enough storage space for the Magsafe adapter and much more. Brenthaven has designed these bags as complete transport solutions. In other words, not to be added to what you already have, but to completely replace it. For example, the "Pro" bags include a dedicated area for items typically found in an attache case (integrated document dividers, accordion-style storage, miscellaneous pockets, etc.). My bag accommodates: My MBP, the power adapter, my Bose QC2s, my iPod, my digital camera, external hard drive(s), my cell phone, a USB hub, optical media, all of my "office-type" items (pens, pencils, documents, etc.), plus all of the cables, connectors, and adapters I might ever need to use all of the above.
    2 GBs is going to be more than enough RAM for most users, most of the time. When running Windows concurrently with OS X (in virtualization), it becomes much less likely that 2 GBs will be enough, but not certain. It's best to see how things go for you, then move one way or another accordingly. If it becomes clear that 2 GBs is not enough for you, a 4 GB "kit" can be had economically.

  • DVI adapter crashes MacBook Pro

    Hello,
    I have a MacBook Pro with a DVI output, So I bought a DVI to HDMI adapter just like this one: http://www.sanace.com/IT/images/dvi-hdmi.jpg
    Whenever I plug the adapter into my MacBook Pro (with or without any HDMI cable) it crashes by shutting down abruptly after a few seconds.
    I found this thread: http://discussions.info.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=10743123#10743123
    and it seems the be the exact same problem, but there are no answers.
    I have Mac OS X 10.6.3
    Thank you

    If your MBP works properly in all other respects, I would certainly suspect a faulty adapter first. Besides, the adapter is a lot cheaper to replace than the MBP.
    You have one of the older MB Pros. This forum concerns the newer, unibody models.
