Kernel Panic: AGC GPU REGISTER RESTORE FAILED

I have frequent (but random) Kernel Panic when logging off or turning off my MacBookPro5 as reported in the log.
I am running 10.6.4 but it started sometime when using 10.6.3 too. I already tried to change RAM and I am now using 2x2GB Apple Branded RAM borrowed from another perfectly working Macbook.
I also reinstalled the system from the original DVD (no Time Machine) and the Panic happened few reboots after updating 10.6.4 with no other software installed.
The Macbook is connected to an Apple LED Display and a Bluetooth mouse, but the Panic happen also with nothing connected.
Repairing permission and resetting PRAM has no effect.
Here is the log. I am worried about "AGC GPU REGISTER RESTORE FAILED" because I found no reference in the whole Google and Apple archive .... :-/
Thanks in advance for any support.
Daniele.

Sorry to say but I feel better not being alone on this problem
I can confirm that the KP happen with both external devices plugged or unplugged, with or without the power adapter charging and it all started with 10.6.3 and now with 10.6.4 when using the integrated Graphic Card (I never switch to the discrete one).
One interesting unusual bit is that, yes ... the KP show up when I turn off the mac from the Apple menu but also when I restart it ... and when I mean "restart it" I mean when I select "restart" from the Apple menu drop down menu. What happen is that the confirmation popup appears and that's when the KP happen ... not on confirmation, but just after the confirmation popup appears.
I am wondering what's going under the hood between the menu selection and the popup ..

MacBook Pro Late 2011 having GPU Panic "AGC GPU REGISTER RESTORE FAILED"

I'm having GPU Panic and reboot on my MacBook Pro Late 2011 Edition with Serial Number C0*******YR1.
It seems a known Hardware issue and it got surfaced at least for me in my MAC now and hence Apple should provide support in getting the Logic / Motherboard in warranty free of cost. Any idea how to proceed in pushing to get appropriate help from Apple Support.
<Edited By Host>

Bring your MBP to the nearest Apple store and present you case to the management.
Ciao.

I had to restore my MBP early 2011 and when i reinstalled lion i didnt have Ilife 11 how can i get it back?

Ok more deatails, i bought a MBP 13' early 2011 model and it came it ilife 2011 on it. when i upgraded to lion it was there and then one day the hard drive gave out on me so i had to erase it completely and reinstall lion. when i did that i didnt have i life 2011 as expected so how can i get that back? would the Application install disc that came in the box work?

You can most certainly try running the bundled app installer off the 10.6 machine specific disks, however I think it's going to barf on you.
You then use Pacifist from CharlesSoft to extract your god given right to free iLife and place it back onto your 10.7 drive, run the update and it should get updated.

After EFI Firmware update 2.3, MBP Early 2011 will not boot. During restart it all went wrong please help!

Hello,
I've done an ample amount of Internet research to find an answer to this problem however nothing yet found is quite like this. I will start from the beginning.
I am traveling through Europe, and I normally live in California. When I arrived in Ireland my MBP early 2011 15 inch, began crashing constantly when I had several tabs open on Chrome and maybe one or two low CPU/Memory using applications, nothing the 8gb RAM &750gb hard drive can't normally handle. Thus I began trouble shooting. I ran disk utility once started up and repaired both disk and permissions. Still crashing. It didn't seem like it had anything to do with a kernel panic shut down, I never would receive the usual message indicating so. After that I did an SMC reset. It was still crashing. I then upgraded the OSX from 10.8 to 10.8.4 believing it could help. It did momentarily, but then crash again. (When it crashes screen goes black suddenly and upon pressing power button does a regular boot on my single partition). I decided attempting to repair using the Internet recovery option but it appeared my MBP had not yet have it installed, so I downloaded from Apple and began installing. Here I made a mistake, I unplugged the power source as it was restarting. When the gray screen and apple appeared, the loading bar shows up as it says it will when installing the update, but when the bar fully loads it crashes every time. I've tried starting in safe mode, which then loads but never goes further (I let it stand for two hours such as that and nothing). Then I decided to allow the MBP to fully charge overnight to give it time and charge. This morning the problem has stayed the same, even with power source plugged in. Please help I need this to work.
Thank you and please ask any questions!

Your constant crashing problem is probably some type of hardware fault which no update can fix. Doing the 10.8.4 update and then the firmware update just caused further problems. you need to take thr system to a apple store to be diagnosed and fixed if cost effective.

Im making a photo slide show using imovie. how will i make a dvd copy that can play in both pc and dvd player. i dont have an idvd anymore. m using a mbp early 2011 osx 10.8.5

im making a photo slide show using imovie. how will i make a dvd copy that can play in both pc and dvd player. i dont have an idvd anymore. m using a mbp early 2011 osx 10.8.5.
after making the photo slide show, i clicked share>export movie. after which i burned using toast. the file became a .mov. i tried playing it in my mac and it worked. my fear now is will it also play in a regular dvd?... i read from google that mov files won't run in dvd players. what format should i convert it to so it'll play in a dvd player. can you suggest a faster way i can burn my projects for it takes me almost an hour to export. im going to make 28 slideshows for my kids in school. *=( if i need to do this process 28 times, i may not be able to finish it on time. please suggest a software or an alternative as to how i should do this... m more comfortable using imovie than iphoto. thanks and i hope to hear from someone soon *=j

Thank you QuickTimeKirk...used toast to burn project... my project was in .mov, i tried to play it a dvd player, it did play... will try again tomorrow using another dvd player just to be sure it'll will really work with dvd players. thank you again for your reply *=)

SD card reader is not working in my MBP early 2011. Is there any solution?

SD card reader is not working in my MBP early 2011. Is there any solution?

on my macbook iphoto didn't recognise my camera or card reader after upgrading to iphoto '11,
Evenutally I went to an application called Image Capture which I seem to have already. This read the camera contents. I selected the images I wanted and then imported them into iphoto which was one of the options given. It worked. God knows why one has to go through two steps. But I'm feeling pretty triumphant. This may help you if you haven't already sorted it.

i remember once i used to render a few videos i think it was imovie does anyone know the early mbp early 2011 is capable to render a 1080p video because i remember i once rendered a few videos in imovie and it owuldnt let me pick 1080p is it because mbp early 2011 cant handle it or something?

Well, I ran the progran anyway, TechTool that is and looked for updates within the program and it said I was running the latest version 3.1.3. I ran the program and it crashed. I was the crash test dummy.

How much noise should the hard drive make on a MBP early 2011?

Had since May/June last year i5 13" and only since I applied all updates few weeks ago it seems to be louder than it was before?
It sounds like a fan but isn't... obviously. Right hand side of track pad, and covering it, in fact just touching it dampens it to barely audible. Is that normal or has something gone a bit weird? A constant fan noise, which isn't the fan is now there permanently.

How much noise should the hard drive make on a MBP early 2011?
None.
The machine should only make noise if the Superdrive is being used or the CPU's heavily used, going by my Early 2011 17".

It's possible it wasn't installed correctly and/or the case is slightly off so it's resonating the hard drive vibrations.
Make sure you have a internet connection (don't move) and reboot the machine holding the d key down like forever and Hardware Test will run.
Backup your data off the machine, if the hard drive dies under 1 year or three years with Applecare, then go get a new one. else you can replace it yourself with a better one and not void your warranty if you don't break anything doing so. Add more RAM while your at it.

All in all I would say they are very tired, and it's possilbe a few defects made it to your machine.

Downloading ML over 80 min's......how long will this go on??? MBP early 2011 running 10.7.3

downloading ML over 80 min's......how long will this go on??? MBP early 2011 running 10.7.3

I have a late 2009 MBP and I have noticed that just surfing the internet has caused the machine to run 20-30 degrees hotter. It used to hover around 40C (according to iStat...obviously it would climb under a load) when I was bumming around the net (no videos) and now it is anywhere between 60-70C doing the same stuff. I didn't really notice it till the other day when all I was doing was working on some bash scripts so at that point it was under very little load and it just seemed quite warm.

Your issue downloading Mountain Lion appears to have been answered HERE. I'm betting you are both running Antivirus.

MBP early 2011 battery life

I have the early 2011 release of the 17" MBP (8gig ram, 2.2ghz quad i7, 500 gig harddrive) and it seems like the battery life has just been cut inhalf. It lasts me about 3 and a half hours from just general use. Is my battery faulty? Really appriciate any feed back

That battery looks pretty good, capacity is really strong for so many charge cycles, but the voltage looks low, would expect it to be in the 11.5 to 12.5 volt range and you are showing 11.27 volts. A little low but not critical.
How have you been handling that battery with respect to discharge/charge? While Apple has a lot of material talking about periodic deep discharge to shutdown and charge as a means of calibrating the battery, in reality that does not calibrate the battery itself. That only serves to calibrate the charge reporting circuitry built in to Lithium-technology batteries. In fact, the Battery University, an independent group testing batteries, has shown that repeated deep discharge behavior significantly shortens Lithium battery lifetimes. The optimum balance of use (discharge) and line-connection seems to be around 50% discharge before charge. Deeper reduces cycle life very fast, lower discharge makes for a very high cycle life but why buy a portable?
Anyway, just some thoughts. Use of high intensity applications, including other operating systems, looks like it is degrading the charge time but the battery itself looks healthy.
Just keep using it, perhaps try not discharging below 50% for a while and see how it behaves for your.

Can't re-install windows 7 64-bit on MBP early 2011 after Mavericks

I have an early 2011 Macbook Pro 13 inch which I used to have Mac OS X 10.8 and Windows 7 64-bit prior to installing Mavericks. After the update, my windows partition, which i resized to a larger space using Disk Utility and then a third party software on the windows side; was gone. It was shown in the disk utility as an unmountable partition.
After several failed attempts to get my files back, I decided to start from scratch. But when I went on Bootcamp 5, the "Create a Windows 7 or later version install disk" option was gone. After about searching for a way to re-enable that option by adding lines on Boot Camp Assistant's info.plist file, and signing it from terminal, the option was there again. It let me create a windows install disk from an ISO, and partition my harddrive. But when I reboot my computer and pressing alt, the usb stick doesnt appear as a bootable drive. So I Installed rEFIt. I could locate my usb drive from it but when I click on the corresponding button (it was something like boot windows from WININSTALL), it says bootmgr is missing.
The next day I got blank DVD-R's so I could burn the ISO on a disc. It successfully booted from the CD. To intall it on the bootcamp partition, I had to format it to NTFS using the windows 7 installation software. But when it comes to intallation, while expanding the installation files, I get an error from the Windows side saying that the files could not be expanded.
I tried to run the USB stick on a mid 2012 macbook pro which worked. I have no idea what has happened with my macbook HDD since the Mavericks update. Does it have something to do with the partition table? I am usually a non-participant user of the support communities and this is my first post. I hope to come up with a solution as soon as possible.

Hey there, it sounds like the trouble you are having is related to what is called 'non-standard boot camp partitioning' (resizing of the partition and all that). Do you notice that when launching Boot Camp Assistant you have the option to remove the current boot camp partition? If so I would say remove the partition and reinstall Windows using BCA (any other way of installing Windows on a Mac may cause you grief in the future).
Also I believe installing from an ISO is unsupported on some models - ultimately the difficulty you are having is related to partitioning. If Boot Camp *will not install* with the current partitioning the best thing to do would be to create a full Time Machine backup, repartition the disk from original install media (from 'current' to '1', reinstall the original OS and perform Mavericks upgrade via the Mac App Store, migrate from Time Machine backup and reattempt running Boot Camp Assistant (which will work this time). Maybe someone else has a quicker/hackier method but you can always expect difficulty with OS upgrade installs and Boot Camp while the partitioning is in the current state.

Garbled display at startup when connecting to External Monitor - MBP Early 2011.

Hi,
When i connect my Early 2011 MBP to an external display i get a garbled display at startup.
I then have to disconnect the hdmi cable to the external monitor, after which the display clears up (on the laptop) and then when i reconnect the external monitor, it works fine. The problem with this process is that i have to do it each time i start/boot my laptop with the external display connected. The display mode is currently set to mirror displays if that helps.
Would appreciate any advice users with this kind of set up can provide. Thank you in advance.

Welcome!!
It could be that you are using the external in "mirrored mode" with the res set above the max res for the MBP screen. On my Late 2007 MBP, the F7 key toggles between mirrored mode and "spanning" (or "extended desktop") mode and System preferences will let you set the two displays independently. I use an external monitor in spanning mode and have not experienced a problem as I have the internal display prefs set to a comfortable res for its hardware.

Apple care protection for MBP early 2011

Apple care came with TechTool Deluxe but my early 2011 MBP came with Snow Leopard. Now that I have Lion, Tech Tool states that it has not been fully tested with Lion. Short of buying a new copy, is there a way to get Tech Tool for Lion?
Thanks
JAW

Well, I ran the progran anyway, TechTool that is and looked for updates within the program and it said I was running the latest version 3.1.3. I ran the program and it crashed. I was the crash test dummy.
