Display freezes, drives still accessible ??

Hi, I have a 2006 1.83 ghz mac mini on which the display keeps crashing. It just freezes, sometimes the mouse is still responsive other times it is not. I can still access the internal and external storage on the machine via finder on another mac. I can also login to the mini via ssh in terminal, but that is about as far as my terminal skills go. I left it running last night with a temperature monitor displayed on the screen but it doesn't appear to be running hot at the time of the crash. The screen is being displayed on my crt tv via dvi to vga converter plugged into a vga to svideo converter. I have an apple video converter on order to try and rule out this device as the cause. I have done clean installs of both Leopard and Snow Leopard both with the same problem. I have 2gb of installed ram. I have set the pram. Does anyone have any other ideas?

Try installing osx on a FireWire drive. If this works without the freezing issue, I would say that either your HD controller or the HD itself. If it still freezes then you may have a ram or logicboard issue. But try the external first.

Display freezing

My Macbook Pro was purchased in Aug.'06. Beginning last year it would run very hot and freeze. It used to freeze when trying to do something "complicated." For example, I would have Firefox, Adium and Photoshop open and be painting in Photoshop when a message came in and Growl would need to show up and I'd get the pinwheel of doom and the computer would freeze. Lately, the display freezes for no reason. It freezes during start up, during menu animations, etc. Why is this happening? Is it dirty? Old? Is something not working? Has running hot for almost 4 years busted my vid card? Thanks for any info!

Welcome to Apple Discussions!
Like Templeton said, it could be nearly anything. A good place to start might be to run the extended version of the Apple Hardware test and see if you get any error codes that might indicate what the problem is.
Are you still using the original hard drive? Notebook drives have an average useful life of 3-5 years, and if yours is the original, it would be 4 years old by now. Here is a utility that can check out the physical health of your hard drive:
http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/32454
You can download the demo and run it several times for free. It is more critical than Disk Utility--some say too critical--but it could give you early warning of disk failure.
How full is your hard drive? If you are running low on free space, this could be a contributing factor.
How much RAM do you have? Is it all recognized? Did you ever install the maximum RAM you could? Check in Activity Monitor to see how your RAM is being used, and if you have a lot of pages out or swap used.
Also, consider reinstalling the OS in case it might be a contributing factor. Be sure to make a good backup first.
These are only a few possibilities, but maybe a place to start.
Good luck!

Nokia 5310 - Display freeze problem

Hi,
I got a new Nokia 5310 last week and its doing great and i like it a lot, except for the following problem..
Problem description:
I find the phone display freezed and become grey and stopped responding to any keys..
this happened first time (on day two) with low battery and then started observing it frequently now (once in two days), when the phone is left with screen saver..,
at this state, when a call is made to phone, caller can hear the phone is ringing, but the phone is still dead..,
the only way to correct this is, remove the battery and reboot the phone.,
Query:
before going to nokia care centre, will this be a firmware bug (based on reported problems) or hardware bug(specific to my handset)??
thanks in advance for the help.
regards
deva

please check this version is available version 3.63 if not u need to update.any body has any suggestion for this issue.

Thunderbolt display and drive unmounts

I have a Thunderbolt display and a new late 2013 MBPr 15 running 10.9. Since upgrading from an earlier MBPr my thunderbolt display connected thunderbolt drives (2 G-Techonolgies) intermittingly unmount and are unreachable by Disk Utility and a restart is required to remount the drive(s). Anyone experiencing this issue. G-Technonogies suggest putting the display at the end of the TB chain, not quite sure how to do this with the all-in-one connector. I have tried connecting the drives directly to the MBPr on one TB Interface and the Display on the other thru the all-in-one cable of the display, the issue still exists.

I've a Spyder4Elite that I use on both my Thunderbolt Display and on my MBP - and, while both are calibrated, they don't - and cannot - 'match' one another, no matter how hard I try.
I suspect that you're running up against the same wall? Different technologies in different displays. I doubt that you'll ever get a perfect match: mine are just 'good enough'.

Display freeze, hang up forever

recently I found my T61 display freeze(hang up) while Internet Explorer and Acroba Professional running. I upgraded my BIOS and most of the drivers I found at Lenovo site, but the problem is still there. Does someone has a sloution? My warrant expired this May.
My system is CPU Intel T9300 2.5GHz, 4G memory, Quadro NVS 140M, Vista 32bits Service Pack 1

Then if it is OK, ask him to do the target disk mode for you. Let him troubleshoot it for you. While migration from PowerPC to Intel Macs may have trouble your G5 to G4 transfer as suggested should not cause a problem.
It may also need a new clock battery if the machine is older than 4 years. Any Mac that is older than 4 years may need it.
The repair issue which the program covers may affect the ability of Target Mode to work, and so may a clock battery issue do the same.

Display Freeze

I have a K7T Turbo ver.3 mobo MSI 6330 Lite which is run off a 250W PSU. (1.3 AMD / 512sd ram)
Ive just installed an FX5200 and i seem to be getting display freeze when gaming but has happened in windows. The card doesn't seem to be getting very hot, ive updated the bios (v3.6) and Via Hyperion drives but it hasn't rectified the fault.
My last guess is possible psu problem, but if thats the case, would it happen as intermittantly as it does??
Any advice greatly received
Thanks

davejubbly,
Without the Video Card you should have a Minimum of a 300W Power Supply, you do not even have that and you are adding a Vid Card that pulls another 75 watts!!!
Go get a good brand name (Like Antec Truepower) power supply with around a 400W or better Rating.
Take Care,
Richard

Display freezing frequenly

Hi,
I rebooted my pc several days ago. I installed new OS Windows 7 ultimate instead if Windows 7 Home Basic. I faced many problems like downloading drivers. I downloaded drivers but my display freezes frequenly all the time and shows message of display driver stopped and recovered. What is that and I cannot understand what to do?
Expecting anwer as soon as possible...

@vishwa_1996 ,
Hello and thank you so much for freezing. So what it sounds like has happened is that when you reloaded your system with a new OS. When you installed the drivers you may have miss installed the Chipset driver.
What you are going to want to do is go and boot your system into safe mode.
Entering Safe Mode (Windows 7)
Once you are in safe mode you will want to remove all the drivers for your system one at a time and if you have to reboot between each removal make sure you are booting back into safe mode.
Now that the you have got all drivers removed then you are going to boot back into normal windows mode.
Start installing all your drivers one at a time making sure you start with the CHIPSET driver.
You will want to download your drivers and software from here.

Macbook pro 15" mid 2009 model display "freeze", please help!!!

I have a Macbook pro 15" mid 2009 model which all of a sudden startet "freezing" everytime i restart it, opens spesific programs, etc, and it is really starting to bug me! Sometimes it takes me 15 minutes to start the computer, and then freezes for another 5 minutes when i try to start i.e word.
I currently have the Mac OS X 10.6.8 (snow leopard).
Could this be fixed by a software update of some sort? If not, how can i fix it (if possible at all)?
Thanks!

You have provided some good basic information, but I'll need more in order to address our question.
1. When did you notice this problem? Relatively recently, or have you been having this problem for a while?
2. Can you correlate the problem with the installation of new software? Which software?
3. How much RAM do you have? If it's 2gb, that's probably not enough - 4gb is ideal for your unit.
4. Do you update your MBP with software update? Have you updated your browser and plugins?
5. Have you cleaned your MBP? Recently, an increasing amount of users have seen improvement by getting dust from your unit.
6. What programs cause you to freeze, or this happen with all applications? What happens when you notice the freeze? Do you see a spinning wheel? Does the display freeze? Be as specfic as possible.
I realize this is a detailed homework assignment, but answer as completely as you can. This is an answer to your issue - it's just a matter of narrowing things down.

Watching a Film: Display Freezes randomly.

Hello,
I have the Problem, that everytime I watch a film in fullscreen sometimes my Display freezes (Sound continues). When I move the mouse, the film continues.
This could happen after 5 or 7 minuntes and then after 10 or 3 minutes again.
I don't know where this can come from. I turned off all energy saving-options / screensavers. I Use OSX Mavericks and iTunes 11.1.3 (8) on my iMac mid 2010.
I would appreciate any help,
thanks

Is this what you are constantly seeing? The grey bars at the top and the bottom with the controls?
BTW, I see autocorrect turned "volume" into "Blume" in my response to you, but I guess you figured it out.
I just don't understand why you are even seeing the battery icon. It doesn't make sense. Do you see it in portrait and in landscape and I just now though of this .... Are you seeing this behavior in the built in Videos App or some third party app? Do you see it while streaming a video or with downloaded videos ...or both?
But like I said, you shouldn't see it anywhere at all.

Display freezes at boot until screen moved

March 2010 Macbook Pro 15 - display freezes at boot from cold.
First image is dark purple, this lightens to patchy grey with vertical lines.
Move the screen and the display changes to account log in screen, but track pointer is frozen and screen gamma rises until display is whiteout with vertical lines.
Freeze and whiteout can last up to 90 seconds now, freeing for a fresh display each time screen is moved then freezing again.
Problem getting worse - lasts longer and now occurs on wake as well as boot.
Have updated everything, checked for malware, cleaned all app content, run disk utility/ repair, hardware check, reset permissions, reset PRAM, reset gamma, reset SMC - not helped. No history of damage!
Took to Apple - they replaced logic board and graphic card - problem not fixed.
Any advice to give me to give them when I go back to the bar?
Thanks

1. Start up in Safe Mode.(shift key at startup)
a. Drag the Fonts folder from the Mac OS 9 System Folder (not the Mac OS X System folder) to the desktop.
b. Drag the Fonts folder from ~/Library/Fonts to the desktop.
b. Restart the computer in Mac OS X.
c. If this solves the problem....you have a corrupt font in one of the above font folders
2. Remove incompatible third-party startup items.
a. Start up in Safe Mode.(shift at startup)
b. Open the Mac OS X hard disk.
c. Drag third-party items out of ....
/Library/StartupItems .......
/System/Library/StartupItems ... Place them on the desktop .... If you're unsure whether an item is a third-party item or an Apple-installed item, don't move it.
d.Restart the computer.
Note.. If this resolves the issue, add the Startup Items one at a time until the symptom occurs again. That way you'll know which one is incompatible. Repeat these steps and remove the incompatible item.

What country are you in ? The price for repair (i.e. replacement) for the iPad 3 and 4 appears to be around the €300 mark
If you select your country at the top of this page, then select the 'Warranty & Service Pricing' section on the left of the screen, and then 'My iPad is not eligible for warranty service' section on the right, you should be able to see the price in your country.

Forest Root non-accessible\Child Domain still accessible. Can I recreate Forest Root and create Trust to current Child Domain?

Hi,
The 2 DCs for our Forest Root took a hit and are non-accessible, however the Child domain is still accessible. Can I recreate the Forest Root from scratch and Trust/Link to current Child Domain? So Im looking for my options to keep an accessible
Child Domain, but recreate a new Forest Root cause the current one is inaccessible.
Thanks for your help! SdeDot

Hi,
Would you please tell us that what do you mean by they
are non-accessible?
Are you able to log onto any of the two DCs in the forest root domain? If yes, we can use dcdiag.exe to analyze the state of the dc in the forest root domain.
If you have any system state backup of the DCs in the root domain, please restore the DC from backup.
Best Regards,
Erin

Mac pro display freezes need help.

My mac display freezes after a few seconds of turning on. Ive had to unplug or turn off to turn it on again. Now, it just wont do anything after I enter password. It just freezes. The screen is also very hot.

Did you follow this procedure exactly...
Shut down the computer.
Unplug the computer's power cord.
Wait fifteen seconds.
Attach the computer's power cord.
Wait five seconds, then press the power button to turn on the computer.
...this will reset the SMC (System Management Controller).

Where can I download Intel (R) Display Audio driver for HP Compaq L2206tm?

Hi,
I am using an Elitebook 820G1 with an external monitor HP Compaq L2206tm.
The monitor is also not showing up in Sounds>Playback as of now.
But when it does show up in Sounds, it can play sound from the laptop.
Problem is sometimes after reboot or wake up from sleep, the monitor drops off from the Sounds panel.
I tried uninstalling Intel (R) display audio driver from Device Manager, and then do a scan for hardware changes to reintall the driver, I get a message "Device driver software was successfully installed."
May I know where can I download Intel (R) display audio driver for HP Compaq L2206tm / Elitebook 820G1?
And what can I do to keep the monitor stay on the Sounds panel?
Please help, I have googled endless with no results.

Thank you Paul.
I'm downloading the driver as I write.
Hopefully HP will update their page and correct the link soon
