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?

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.

  • Compaq Presario CQ62 DVD not working after Windows 7 automatic install of upgrades

    The DVD in my Compaq CQ62 stopped working after Windows 7 automatically installed updates. The driver seems to be corrupted. When I open Device Manager, the DVD comes up as hp DVD RW AD-7701H SATA CdRom Device and the device status displays...A driver (service) for this device has been disabled.  An alternate driver may be providing this functionality. (Code 32).. There are two drivers installed--cdrom.sys from Microsoft,  File Version 6.1.7600.16385(win7_rtm.090713-1255) and PxHlpa64.sys File Version 2.03.32a from Sonic Solutions. If anyone knows the link to download the new driver or how to resolve this problem please let me know.

    We are not sure what might have caused this issue. You may try removing the affected filter drivers and check. This has helped few.
    To do this, follow these steps:
    1. Click Start , type regedit in the Start Search box, and then click regedit in the Programs list.
    If you are prompted for an administrator password or confirmation, type your password, or click Continue.
    2. Locate, and then click the following registry subkey:
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Class\{4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}
    Caution There can be many instances of the registry subkey that is mentioned in step 2. You must make sure that you are in the appropriate registry subkey before modifying the UpperFilters and the LowerFilters values. To verify that you are in the appropriate registry subkey, make sure that the Default data value is DVD/CD-ROM and the Class data value is CDROM.
    3. In the right pane, right-click UpperFilters, and then click Delete.
    4. Click Yes to confirm the removal of the UpperFilters registry entry.
    5. In the right pane, right-click LowerFilters, and then click Delete.
    6. Click Yes to confirm the removal of the LowerFilters registry entry.
    7. Exit Registry Editor, and then restart the computer.
    Note After you remove the UpperFilters registry entry and the LowerFilters registry entry, you may lose functionality in certain programs such as CD recording programs. In this scenario, you must reinstall any affected programs.

  • 2007 MacBook Pro 2.2GHz A1226 Kernel Panic after 10.8.3 install

    Started getting KP's after installing 10.8 for a client. Here's my steps thus far with the KP log at the bottom of my post.
    2007 non-uni MBPro 2.2 GHz A1226
    CCC clone of old user hdd to .sparsebundle image (about 120GB) was running OS X 10.6.5
    Repartition, erase brand new 500GB 2.5" SATA HDD
    CCC > Window > Disk Center > installed Recovery HD 10.8 on the 500GB drive
    CCC cloned my 10.8.2 + Apps image (used on dozens of client Macs without issue) to the 500GB drive
    booted into MBPro HD and ran Migration Assistant to import old user account from the CCC backup I made earlier
    ran all Apple updates and ran Repair Permissions, rebooted
    on reboot... gray screen with text that said:  "Your computer restarted because of a problem. Press a key or wait a few seconds to continue starting up."
    not sure what was wrong, I booted into Recover 10.8 > ran DU repair disk and repair permissions
    still getting kernel panic on reboot... but after a few tries it would boot into the user account. Once in user account everything runs fine. Only getting KP when I start up the MacBook Pro. weird.
    Thinking it was bad OSX install from my CCC image... I went ahead and reinstalled from Recovery HD  fresh 10.8.2, then ran updates, etc.
    still getting kernel panic.  Was fine on 10.6.5. Only noticed it when upgraded to 10.8.x
    did SMC and PRAM resets, still issues
    booted into Safe Mode... no errors that I can see, but then again it won't KP when I'm running anything.
    Have not yet re-seated or replaced ram (3rd party 2 x 2GB 667mhz) but plan to do that tonight.
    Anything else you guys can think of? It appears to be a GPU issue... "IOGraphicsFamily" and "NVDAResman"
    Thanks.  - Brian

    The video memory of mine is 64 MB. no idea how and why.
    Maybe it's because I got my macbook pro repaired two years ago due to a video chip failure.
    The DDR2 memory installed is a single 4GB
    One of the memory slot is not working

    When 10.5.3 came out I ran Software Update, and it installed itself and then asked me to restart my system. So I did. But before my MBP finished restarting, a gray curtain came down and told me that I had to... restart... my... system. (It looked like a kernel panic screen.)
    I restarted and the same thing happened. After a couple of iterations of this I realized that something was broken and it wasn't going to fix itself, so I booted up in Safe Mode. That worked OK. It's what I'm using right now. Things seem to work normally except that certain functions, like playing audio, are disabled.
    How do I troubleshoot this? Thanks.

    OK, here's the panic log for the first kernel panic after the 10.5.3 download. Does this help?

  • TPT2 System update problem after Windows 10 clean install

    Hello, Today I did clean install of Windows 10 on my Thinkpad tablet 2. Chose "keep nothing" to have fresh new Windows. Then Installed newest ThinkVantage System update app. Hoewever when I tried to search for drivers with this app it failed and I got a messege "There are no applicable packages found for your system". Anyone know how can I solve this problem? Thanks in advance, CR

    ... just open a command line window ("cmd.exe") with administrative priveliges and run the command "powercfg -sleepstudy". This generates a powercfg-HTML-Report in the "Windows\System32" folder where you can drill down the cause for power draining in connected standby mode. Typically WLAN / Bluetooth driver cause the problems - or applications that run with massive CPU-usage in the background. Are you still logged in into WIndows when you turn off the tablet? Then frist try to lock out of Windows and enter the connected standby mode. Then analyse with the powercfg tool. Afterwards repeat this procedure with your logged in WIndows account. With this approach you can compare the basic windows power drain with the power drain including app usage. Good luck! Bernd

  • GPU Panic after Sleep

    I am reading that quite few apple user have this issue. there was a n update from apple to fix a sleep issue, does not seem to  solve the issues i am having.
    i cannot use any virtualisation products, nor VM Fusion or Parallel.
    the issues are sporadic and can be from sleep weak up, using certain softwares.
    This is a new logic board, and the GPU Panic just started to creep up. The testing software at apple Genius maybe need updates they do not seem to catch these problems.
    does anyone has a final fix to go back to apple.

  • LJ 3030 Refuses to print more than one copy after Windows 7 is installed

    I've had quite a few problems getting my LJ 3030 to print correctly after having installed Windows 7. I believe this is the very last problem and I'm unable to resolve it. Regardless of the number of copies I enter in any program MS Word/Excel, Eudora, PDF, etc. I can only get one copy at a time to print. There is no error message. If I put "10" in the number of copies, it accepts it, but only one copy will print.
    I've uninstalled and reinstalled the printer, I've installed the universal driver, but it appears it's just going to ignore all of my attempts and makes me go thru the print box the same number of times as the number of copies I want.
    Anyone????
    Sandi in Seattle

    Try doing an "Add printer," and then, "Windows Update." You should then be able to pick one of the LJ3030 drivers that was added from the Windows update. Choose the same printer port that you used before with the universal print driver.
    Although I am an HP employee, I am speaking for myself and not for HP.

  • Change partition sizes after windows has been installed

    After I have installed windows onto my mac and have created the partitions, can and how do I change the size (in terms of memory) of the partitions without reinstalling all information?

    Hi and welcome to Discussions,
    you can use WinClone for this http://www.twocanoes.com/winclone/ and in here http://www.twocanoes.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=515 you find a how-to.
    (Topic: My current Windows partition is the wrong size, and I want to make it larger. How do I do this?)
    Other people have used CampTune http://www.paragon-software.com/home/camptune/ successfully.
    Prior to doing this you should make/have a backup of your OSX and Windows files for safety.

  • Psc 1600 only prints in gray scale after windows 8 was installed

    Unable to print in color after installing Windows 8 and I downloaded the software from HP for my HP psc 1600 printer.
    I have new cartridges and have printed a test page from the printer and the colors do not come out.

    Since it is the same machine that you are trying to reinstall the softwares,
    Please contact Customer Care @ 8008336687 and they would be able to increase the license count for you as an exception.
    Remember in future if you want to uprade the computer or install the software on a new machine deactivate the software first else it would give you the same error.

  • Internet Loss and Limited Windows Functional​ity After Windows 7 Clean Install

    Hello all,
    here is a bit of context. I had an extra Lenovo T410 sitting around so I wanted to restore it to its "factory state" by performing a "format boot". Plan was to boot from CD drive and reinstall Windows 7 (32 bit) during the process. However, disaster, after the process finished I am now stuck in some sort of safe mode (everything is larger than usual) and the computer is missing several drivers. I installed the network adapter driver manually (can identify networks but can't connect to internet). Device manager still lists Base System Device, Ethernet Controller, PCI Serial Port, PCI Simple Communications Controller, and Unknown Device drivers to be out of date.
    My objectives here are to 1) restore connectivity to internet and 2) get Windows 7 Home Premium to full functionality.
    Thanks for any input!
    *Virtual High-Five if you stuck with me through that whole explanation.

    I guessed he doesn't have that option, as he said one of the missing drivers is the ethernet controller.

  • ITunes won't start after Windows 7 Repair install

    Hi there
    I recently had to repair my Windows 7 64 bit Home Premium edition installation. It warned me before reinstalling that there could be some problems with iTunes following the repair but I followed the instructions to counter this and repair Windows 7. i.e. I uninstalled all iTunes software as outlined on Apples pages.
    On opening Windows 7 again I ended up with a Blue Screen of Death - this pointed me to a faulty iTunes installation - I checked control panel and sure enough it was not listed as uninstalled. I therefore followed online instructions to completely remove iTunes and used Revo Uninstaller Pro to catch anything I missed. All looked good, I rebooted my machine and then went to install iTunes again. I chose the 64bit installer from the site and installed as normal. I have now tried to open iTunes (to sync my iPhone) and it thinks about it for a second and then never opens. On opening task manager I can see iTunes.exe*32 (does this mean 32 bit and if so why when I've DEFINITELY got the 64 bit installation), iTunesHelper.exe*32 and AppleMobileDeviceHelper.exe*32 all in Processes - they are not in open programs.
    Even stopping these processes does not help. iTunes was working fine before my Windows 7 problems on this machine and all other software seems ok too following my repair. Can someone please assist me in getting iTunes to work again with my computer as this is very frustrating. This is not the first time it has happened to me - on my old Vista machine (different machine totally) this happened once or twice intermittently but then seemed to resolve itself. I have defrag, disk doctor and run just about every utility I have installed to get my system working ok and the only problem seems to be iTunes. I'd therefore appreciate help in resolving this.
    Many thanks

    Did you try and update through itunes or download the installer from the apple website?
    I've read some where its better to just download the stand alone installer from apple and
    do it that way.

  • Huey Pro not working after Windows 7 Ultimate install on W510

    I just received my W510 and installed Windows 7 Ultimate x64 as well as all of the relevant W510 drivers. I've also installed Huey Pro. I've read many similar posts regarding the Huey Pro issue and followed all of them. Unfortunately Huey Pro isn't able to turn on the monitor when the lid is closed. I installed the Lenovo power driver and set the to do nothing with the lid closed. I set the same settings for Windows power management just in case. To make sure I have the right drivers I installed the Thinkpad System update.
    How can I make Huey Pro work?

    Make sure you have the Lenovo Thinkpad Communications Utlity installed.
