Anyone has problem with NVIDIA GEFORCE 9600M GT?

Hi,
I've a new MBP 15". The laptop is very cool but in these day I've noticed some problem with the graphic card. When I use the 9400M everything is well. But, when I switch to the 9600M GT a lots of problem occured:
1) when I try to catch a screenshoot (using cmd + Shift + 3) my system freeze for 1 minute (I can move the mouse, but I cannot do anything else); with the 9400M the screenshoot appear in 1-2 seconds!
2) When I'm using Mail and I want to open the documents folder using the Dock Icon, the system freeze for 15-20 seconds!
3) This morning I was using Mozilla and when I try to open Itunes the system completly freeze and the only things to do was reboot!
I've tried to do the test with the DVD-ROM (using d at boot) but no problem was found! I've update the system and used the utility disk (I also used Main Menu to cleanup the trouble).
Anyone has the problems? As I said the problems are only with the 9600M GT. Could be a driver problem or hardware failure?
Thanks

I have just called Apple Care Germany.
Somehow they have not heard of the issue. They have checked a couple of things (System Profiler Data) and advised me to run Apple Hardware Test (no issues found on my MBP). Nevertheless I explained that the "freezing" behavior still exists (on my machine: only on 9600M GT only on Battery; freeze takes about 40s). I was still in the 14 day period.
They said this behavior is not intended and if I want I can get the machine exchanged for another machine.
So I would suggest you gather information on how to reliably reproduce the issue and call Apple Care!
Also one thing worth to consider: There seem to be issues with some 9600M GT chips. The thread: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1767221 covers a "Black Screen of Death" which occurs for some users when you play games using the 9600M GT. I checked this bug on my machine and so far could not reproduce. So I am kind of worried that there may be something seriously wrong with the design of the graphics solution. And simply swapping the machine may result in other issues when using the 9600M GT.

  • Problems with Nvidia GeForce 210 and windows 8.1

    Hi all, I have Windows 8.1 Pro update 1 64bit installed, two weeks ago I started giving problems graphics card NVidia (even has me
    given several blue screen).
    I tried to update the drivers for the card but I got the same problem. It was working properly with generic
    drivers, and if I went to Computer Administrator me a yellow triangle appeared
    on my graphics card and the properties told me the following:
    Windows has stopped this device because it has reported problems.
    (Code 43 )
    My machine is as follows:
    Mainboard : Asus P5K SE
    Chipset: Intel P31/P35
    Processor : Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 @ 2400MHz
    Physical Memory : 3072MB (3 x 1024 DDR2- SDRAM)
    Video Card : NVIDIA GeForce 8500 GT
    Hard Disk : Seagate ST3320620AS ATA Device (320GB )
    Monitor Type: LG Electronics L1919S
    I just formatted
     the computer from scratch, and
    I still had the same problem with the graphics card,
    so I imagined it would be a hardware problem
    and bought NVIDIA GeForce 210.
    In the end I
    upgraded to Windows 8.1 update 1 with
    the latest drivers for the GeForce 210,
    and after 6 days running everything correctly, a few days ago
    returned to give me problems,
    the screen sometimes freezes and will not
    let me do anything and after a while
    giving me a blue screen and reboots
    me, I suspect that the graphics drivers
    are giving me problems, and I had to
    disable the graphics card and work with
    generic drivers from Microsoft, and even then I
    was restarted once.
    I installed Driver Booster and all the drivers are updated.
    Could
     anyone analyze
    dump files dmp ? Download here 
    I got another dmp:
     C:\Windows\MEMORY.DMP  but it is too heavy.
    Thanks

    yes, I check the dump files
    this cause by graphic card, on which graphic card you reformat your PC and update
    .NET framework maybe cause this driver corrupted
    my suggestion is try using internal graphic card, just for testing
    Just in case you don't believe me, please check this dump file

  • Does anyone has problem with the Glossary tab in RB8?

    The glossary tab does'nt show on *CHM file. Does anyone has that problem?
    1) Install RH8 on XP SP2 and register hhactivex.dll
    2) Start RH8
    3) Create new project.
    4) Click on '+' sign of Glossary from Project Manager to expand it and double click the Glossary(Default) to show the GLossary Pod.
    5) Type 'First' in the Term input field on the Glossary Pod, and click the + button to add it.
    6) Go to the 'Definition for :first section of the Pod and type in 'First'
    7) Save and generate the CHM file
    This is the first time I create a new project in RH8 with Glossary.
    If I import a previous project created with RoboHelp for Office X4 which has Glossary, and convert project to RH8 format and generate the CHM file, then the CHM file has the Glossary tab.
    I can't possibly beleive it is a bug in RH8 . However, what mistake did I make?
    This happens on XP SP2, RH 8.0.0.0.203, on XP SP3 with RH 8.0.2.208, on Win7 with RH 8.0.2.208. Basically, it doesn't matter on what PC we install RH8, doesn't matter how many time you register hhactivex.dll, the glossary tab never shows up. Howver, it shoes up on Winhelp.
    Thanks

    Hi there
    No, I don't believe they are ameteurs. Besides, some ameteurs do better work than "professionals".
    To be fair, some bugs are elusive. We may see them and report them but when the development team examines things they repeatedly and stubbornly fail to reveal themselves.
    Cheers... Rick

  • Problem with NVIDIA GeForce GT 610

    Hello,
    I bought a Graphic card, NVIDIA GeForce GT 610 but still is not working.
    The PC where it is installed is HP Pavilion G5400it.
    I don't understand if the problem is the PSU or something else.
    The label of the pc's PSU show MAx. OUTPUT POWER: 300
    I have installed many times the drivers, tried to reset CMS update bios and so on but nothing works.
    If the problem is the Power Supply can someone address me to one that can fit without burn the PC?
    http://www.nvidia.it/object/geforce-gt-610-it.html#pdpContent=2
    http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/Document.jsp?objectID=c02963479&lang=en&cc=us&taskI...
    Thanks in advance

    Hello jekkino,
    You probably need to install a new power supply.
    Your current power supply is max at 300 and the graphics card has minimum of 300 and everything in the system needs power.
    Let me know how everything goes.

  • Do anyone has problem with -108 error?

    Please, I`m trying to import my projects and at the very end of it, it shows that I have an -108 which I have been looking up at internet and I read that it is related to RAM memory. It was suggested to reboot and it seems everything is going to be oK. Unfortunatelly, it wasn`t. If anyone has any clue about this problem, I ask for help!!!!!
    Best regards!

    Hello MiltonFaro,
    I just recently tried to help someone out with a similar problem on this Discussion Group:
    iMovie  error  (-108)
    Which lead to this link for someone troubleshooting the problem using iMovie '08:
    iMovie 08  v 7.1.1 - Can't export - Error -108 - Help Please!
    What they concluded was to reboot the computer. Which you have already tried, but another suggestion was to export at a smaller frame size than the currently chosen size. I also asked about trying to Export using different paths within the Share Menu. For instance what happens if you choose to Share > Export Movie instead of Export QuickTime. Do you have all the largest sizes available? Are some of them grayed out and unavailable?

  • MS6167 - Problems with NVIDIA GeForce FX5600 graphics card

    Hi all,
    tried to install a Nvidia GeForce FX5600 old PC of mine that the kids use, mobo is MS-6167. Could not get this to work. States that it cannot get enough resources (in Windows XP, Device Manager). I have tried to force reasign of IRQ from the BIOS on reboot, and even removed the sound card.
    Could this be a power issue, though I assume the card would just not work or crash.
    Any help apprecaited.
    Thanks,
    Bunnster

    "AMD's 750 Chipset
    Power users looking for next-generation features such as AGP 4X /my marking/ and PC133 SDRAM support are currently out of luck on both AMD's Slot A and Intel's Slot 1 infrastructure, as chipsets that support both features are in the latter stages of sampling among motherboard manufacturers. Before a motherboard can tout such features, the motherboards' chipset must support them. All Athlon motherboards currently available ship with AMD's 750 chipset, which only officially supports PC100 SDRAM and the AGP 2X interface."
    Source: http://www.firingsquad.com/hardware/6167/default.asp
    Ad libris: Meaning, I don't think your Nvidia card can do AGP 2X. Bad news could be you'll have trouble fitting the previous card. Your best bet would be to get a powerful PCI-slot only card.

  • Does anyone has problems with Apps store whenever u rotate the ipad the 4th generation?

    Hi,
       I have problems with Apps Store whenever I rotate the device it will just auto exit from the apps store and back to home screen.

    Try a rest: Simultaneously hold down the Home and On buttons until the iPad shuts down. Ignore the off slider if it appears. Once shut down is complete, if it doesn't restart on it own, turn the iPad back on using the On button. In some cases it also helps to double click the Home button and close all apps from the tray before doing the reset.

  • Problems with NVIDIA Geforce Go 7600 display driver for Qosmio G30

    A few days ago my Qosmio G30 ( Windows XP) didnot start properly. First the srceen become white and after a few reboots the screen shows a lot figures and after that I get the a lot of vertical stripes over the screen. I only can start in protected mode of windows but the vertical stripes stay.After consultating the Toshiba help desk I find on the Toshiba website a driver for the Nividia Geforce Go 7600.
    But I cannot installed it because Microsoft Windows XP reported that the software  have no digital signiture. When I ignore that message the installtion goes on but without result. The computer gives the message that the Nvidia 7600 is not installed properly.
    Please have someone a solution of my problem. (Johnnyboy have reported the same problem )

    I sounds like a dying video chip, or at least my p100 had simmilar issues when it needed the video replaced.  Odd characters on the screen at random, plus locking up occasionally.  Mine failed from excessive heat.

  • Visualization problems with NVIDIA GeForce GTX 470

    I've been suffering of this problem for a long time, since I switched to Photoshop CC and it happens with every NVDIA driver I installed.
    When I open a photo and zoom in and out a few times, drag it, arrange two photos like in the picture, I get those red stripes and eventually PS crashes.
    If I disable use graphical GPU in the prefences the problem disappears.

    I just checked that for my manufacturer (Point Of View) and gpu model, I've got the last BIOS update installed. I'm pretty sure the card is installed properly and doesn't overheat. I'll try to contact NVIDIA, too.

  • Anyone has problems with audio on call?

    people doesn't listen me on a call

    I find that since the ios 5 update many programs use 'Location Services' and keep it used for long periods of time.  You can tell its being used by a little purple arrow on the top bar near the battery.  Go to Settings > Location Services, and scroll through all the programs and look for the PURPLE icon... The purple one indicates that that program is currently using the feature.  A greyed out icon indicates that that program has used it within the last 24 Hours.  Don't forget to also check 'System Services' for more programs that could be using it.
    Cheers!

    This is a major problem with Lollipop, but yo said it started 2 months ago.   Several people have fixed problem by removing FaceBook And Face book messenger and then re loading the apps again.   You might want to clear your cache before reloading.  Not sure this is your problem, but worth a try.  Good Luck

  • D800 file compatibility:  Has anyone experienced problems with loading D800 files onto the iPad using the camer connector kit?  I have tried both RAW and JPEG using SDHC and CF cards and the iPad(3) doesnt recognise any of the files.

    Has anyone experienced problems with downloading Nikon D800 files to the iPad3 using the camer connector kit?  I have tried .RAW and JPEG (of various sizes) on both SD and CF cards, but the iPad doesn't recognise the files. 
    I have seen various forums discussing Lightroom and PSE updates that are required to process .NEF files but I can't find anything on the iPad/camera connector issue.
    I dont have any problem if I put the SD card straight into the SD slot in my iMac and Aperture will process the files fine, but I would really like to be able to download and view files on the move on the iPad.
    Any advice appreciated?
    PS - saw something that suggested the iPad had a maximum file size of 16mb for photos, not sure if this is correct, but I have tried smaller JPEG files and they still aren't recognised.

    If your camera supports both PTP and Mass Storage Device modes, it may be necessary to use both modes to import all media content.
    If some files do not import as expected using one mode, try switching to the other mode and importing again.
    Note: Some cameras may refer to PTP as Pictbridge or PTP/Pictbridge.
