IMac with graphical card problems

HiRegards to all.
My problem is the following one.
I had problems in my iMac, like flickering, ghosting, but the more serious thing that was remaining hung and on the screen there were appearing stripes of colors, duplicated images, in short an iMac of which they went out with the fault in the motherboard of factory . I received it one week ago and now after two attempts to execute the return of the product they say to me (after saying to me that today it would have my iMac made) that it will be ended on September 8, thing that will lengthen my order in one month.
Apple charged me the iMac one month ago, and it turns out that I am going to be two months (if there is luck) without iMac, now I do not have computer in spite of wich works what leads me to losing money since all this hanging work cannot continue forward. The most graceful thing is that since they charged it from me only they were late 3 days in making it, more three weeks in the sending. But in the service post sale now they say to me that the return has priority to the manufactures as buy. If that is more time I do not see that has priority on the buys.
In short I am very disappointed with apple after so many years adoring these perfect machines I have met plunged in the disappointment. If they me cannot solve this this week I will proceed the case before service to the consumer of my country to do the pertinent thing. I leave this message because I need to be advised before this problem, of which I do not have fault, but I am the maxium harmed.
Regards

If you have ordered an iMac with the 256Mb graphics card then there is going to be a delay. Everyone who is ordering that model is having to wait. I don't know why but can only guess that they either have a shortage of the graphic card from the supplier or they have more orders than they thought they would. I feel certain that Apple would rather be able to build them quicker also, but sometimes things happen that are beyond our control.
At least they were good enough to replace your defective unit. That is something to be thankful for. I really am sorry you have to wait. Maybe the new one will work perfectly though and you won't have any more problems.
By the way I used to live in Barcelona many many years ago. I love the city and the people there and some day I am going to go back and visit. Barcelona is a great place!

Help with graphic card problem..

I want to upgrade the video card on my hp pavilion dv6 1330 and i dunno which one to buy or what fits.. any suggestions on what might fit or where i could get this info.?

I think it's not possible for u to upgrade u'r graphics chip unless u change the motherboard which u can't change, unless from the parts that are available for u'r laptop
just when u see the part u'll see that there are graphics chip numbers which are not the chip, but the technology behind them, u'll have to search it to find the chips made with them, to see if that's what u have or not.

2011 iMac 27 graphics card problem?

After updating to Mavericks I have had some sporatic, multicolored, blocks appearing and flashing on my display.
Does anyone have any idea what could be causing it?
<Edited by Host>

Same problem here, mid 2011 27", Radeon 6770, Mavericks, etc.
The problem may be getting worse slowly and mainly appears on medium gray regions windows which have been static for a while, and is particulary strong on the external Dell monitor - typically toward the right sides of the screens. If you move the window, it stops for a while. Checked internal temps, screen saver mode, nearby cellular signal & RF sources (iPad, iPhone), second monitor connected or not.
The pattern of blinking seems to repeat: a period flickering followed by shorter period of very fast flickering, which reminds me of the sound of an audio noise problem I had when a cell phone was near my Mac. So far, the noise problem does not appear when the iPhone (T-Mobile) and iPad (Verizon) are off. The problem appears if I turn on the iPhone, however it does not go away when I turn off the phone, unless I also move or update the afflicted window (iPhoto's gray background is a good example). Only one day of experimentation with this, so it is probably premature to conclude that RF interference is a factor.
This has been going on long enough that I can't associate it with any system changes, however I've had the phone and pod for a while and I don't think it appeared when they did. If it is indeed RF related, then that leaves three possibilites: (1) I changed something, such as an OS level, and didn't associate the problem with it, (2) the RF interference is increasing or, (3) the iMac is becoming increasingly sensitive to the RF interference.
Anybody able to validate this? I'd hate to crack open my iMac and put in a new GPU only to find it wasn't the root cause!

C2D iMac with graphic card issues

We own a long in the tooth C2D 24inch iMac that has the replacable graphics board in it. It is running Lion and currently having lots of fits and starts all video related and I am expecting the video to be failing in the near future. It has 2 22" screens attached to it for day time business usage running Parallels v7 - the third via a USB to DVI device. I have iStat installed with the fans running and this has definately helped it live day to day with less issues as the internals are certainly cooler running. It has been a warrior and is being pushed way beyond what it was designed for.
My question is for the techies, would moving back to Leopard place less strain on the board once all the current level browsers are brought back to current? Would Mountain Lion help? I have received a cost to replace the board and probably the cost is best spent investing toward a new(er) machine.

Hi Barry,
I have received a cost to replace the board and probably the cost is best spent investing toward a new(er) machine.
Are you willing to share the cost estimate with us. I've seen two other posts this morning where people were in the "repair or replace" quandary and I find myself guessing the cost based on other models, which is shaky logic at best!.
And was the estimate for just the video board or the entire logic board?
Thanks!

Problems with graphics card with CS5

I am working a freelace gig using a G5 computer with Lion.
When using CS5 photoshop there seems to be a problem using
Mode/Index/Custom when using the eyedropper to select colors.
I use the work around "key command" which is totally anoying.
There is also a bug with the color picker/eydropper within the documents.
I read that this has to do with the graphics card.
Which graphics card do I need to resolve this issue?

There are known issues/limitations with graphics cards in earlier machines.
Known issues | Adobe on Mac OS 10.7 Lion
Tested video cards | Photoshop CS5 - Adobe
We need to know specific about your Mac Pro (not a G5).
Click on "About This Mac" from the  in the menu bar, then "More Information" followed by "System Report".
Tell us what is said for Model Identifier under Hardware Overview, and then what is entered for Video Card under Hardware/Graphics-Displays

Mail (4.6) in OS10.6.8 shows several photo attachments with discoloration, distortion (jagged lines, splotches of color, etc.). Could it be a graphics card problem?

My mother-in-law's MacBook Pro 13 (m2009) Mail (4.6) with OS 10.6.8 shows several
photo attachments with discoloration, distortion (jagged lines, splotches of color, etc.).
Could it be a graphics card problem?
Or a bad unpacking of attachments over poor WiFi/Internet?
If anyone has an idea, I'd appreciate your help.
Thanks from Japan!
Dan

Please describe the problem in as much relevant detail as possible. The "etrecheck" fad hasn't made that step any less necessary. The better your description, the better the chance of a solution.
For example, if the computer is slow, which specific actions are slow? Is it slow all the time, or only sometimes? What changes did you make, if any, just before it became slow? Have you seen any alerts or error messages? Have you done anything to try to fix it? Most importantly, do you have a current backup of all data? If the answer to the last question is "no," back up now. Ask if you need guidance. Do nothing else until you have a backup.

Mac keeps crashing whenever using Office for Mac (possible graphic card problem)

Mid 2010 15 inch MacBook Pro. Played out perfectly for the first two years. As soon as the warranty expired, things went sideways. Do not know why but whenever I try to use Office 2011 for Mac the entire mac freezes for a millisecond and then crashes. Does this repeatedly whenever I try using Office.
Problem report reads as follows:

I've done a couple of modifications on it but I dont believe they have affected it to such extent. I believe it might be a defective graphic card but at this point, believing the crash was induced by the usage of Office I have done everything possible short to dismembering the Mac and changing the Graphic Card. I have read somewhere that mid 2010s had problems with graphic cards. If anyone has found a way around the changing of the card, I would be very grateful of their opinion and suggestions.

First, uninstall the software responsible for installing these extensions:
com.logmein.driver.LogMeInSoundDriver          1.0.0
com.squirrels.driver.AirParrotSpeakers          1.8
com.rim.driver.BlackBerryUSBDriverInt          0.0.68
If removing the software and extensions doesn't solve the problem, then you are probably correct about the GPU:
The problem is likely due to the discreet GPU failing. Download gfxCardStatus 2.3 and use it to disable the GPU. This is a temporary workaround until you get your motherboard replaced.

Photoshop not working properly with graphics card.

When I start PS, it has given me messages about making sure I have up to date graphics card drivers, which I do. If I enable Open Gl drawing in Photoshop it won't open some documents or crashes. If I disable open GL drawing, it opens the documents, but obviously isn't giving me the display performance I need. I have been running this setup for about 6 months, but have only started having problems this week. I am running Photoshop CS4 and an nvidia GTX 295.
Don't appear to be having any catastrophic graphics card problems (touch wood), as I can still run Crysis! Can anybody help me please?

Thanks for your help guys. It works with open gl using the previous driver. The performance still isn't as good now, but workable. It takes a second to zoom and takes a second to go from looking slightly pixellated to looking smooth. There's also a slight lag on input. Guess I just work with it, till nvidia release another driver that works properly. :/

Graphic card problems - AMD Fire Pro M5100 in AutoCAD and Intel 4600 in Windows applications

Hello,
I have some serious problems with graphic cards in my laptop. All newest drivers are downloaded and installed from HP site.
First problem is related to rendering some applications. Some GUI elements have horizontal stripes. This can be observed also in HP Support Assistant app. The problem is visible in screenshot. If I disable hybrid mode in BIOS, then the problem disappears.
The second problem is related to AutoCAD 2015. Some of the GUI elements are not rendered correctly. But that does not bother me that much, a bigger problem is related to hardware acceleration. AutoCAD successfully detect my graphic card (AMD Fire Pro M5100), but when I switch on the hardware acceleration mode everything starts to work very slowly. It is impossible to work with some larger documents. If I disable hardware acceleration, everything works very smoothly.
I do not believe that this graphic card does not have the power to work with basic CAD drawing. On AutoCAD forum I received information that this is probably related to bad drivers.
Can anybody help me? This laptop has been recommended to me for CAD work and I am a bit dissapointed. But I am sure that this can be fixed.
AMD drivers: 14.301.1003.1003-141203a-178403C-HP
Intel drivers: 10.18.10.3871 (I have also tried the newest ones, 10.18.10.3995 - no difference)

From this link, some people have found success by downgrading their graphics driver to an previous version. Looks like there are a few peole experiencing issues with AutoDesk products and this card - you might also try to contact AutoDesk directly and ask if they have a certified driver for your card.
Incidentally, I have the same card, though I am experiencing a different problem. I swapped in a dell version of the card into my HP machine, but now realize that I need the HP VBIOS instead of the Dell to get it to run.
If my answer helped you and you have a spare minute or two, I would be very grateful if you'd share a copy of your (hp-specific) VBIOS from your card?
If so, download GPU-Z, start it and hit, "Save to file..." to save the .rom for your card. Attach file to resonse to share.
Best of luck in sorting out the performance issues. I suspect it may have something to do with the fact that Autodesk uses DirectX more where Firepro's emphasize Opengl performance. Hopefully one of these driver fixes will make a difference.

Is anyone still having discrete graphics card problems after replacement

Is anyone still having discrete graphics card problems after replacement?
Macbook Pro eligible for replacement through Apple program.
Submitted my computer 2 days before program came into effect.
They replaced card or logic board with same original model: AMD Radeon HD 6770M 1024 MB
Issued me a refund check for my repair.
Seems to have some noticeable issues, fan running more than usual again, and temporary graphic lines,
but disappear too fast before a screen dump...
Is anyone who has participated in the replacement program received a different graphic card for
Model Macbook Pro 17" (late 2011)
Thank you for the reply.

Unfortunately I have yet to call AppleCare because I am on a project for 3 weeks and cannot be without my laptop during that period....
Until that time I am trying to figure out what I can do to protect the Palm Rest/Mouse Pad area of my Macbook once they either fix it or give me a new one. Has anyone had any experience with either of these products that can provide some input as to whether they are good or bad?

HP Pavilion G4 1003-TX Graphic Card Problem

Hello... I have HP pavilion G4 1003TX laptop which cureently having graphic card problem. Technician at my place said that's caused by the solder connection on my Radeon graphic card. He said it can be repaired, but the same problem will happen again soon unless i replaced my graphic card with new one.
In my laptop, i have Radeon and Intel graphic card which i can switch freely. My question is, if i change from my Radeon to my Intel graphic card, is my graphic card problem solved? Is my laptop still will not last long unless i buy new graphic card?
Please help me if you know the answer. Thanks
This question was solved.
View Solution.

So my laptop will not start after i turned it on. The technician said it because some solder connection on the graphic card so it need to be resoldered. He warn me that the same problem will happen again soon since it's sign that my VGA card will dead. After he resoldered, my laptop can work normally for 3 months. Now, after 3 months, my laptop can't start again just like before. The technician said it because of solder connection of my VGA card again.
So, since my laptop has Intel and Radeon VGA card that i can switch, is switching my VGA card form Radeon to Intel will solve my Radeon VGA card dead problem? Will my laptop can work normally if i switch my VGA card to Intel?

If you are buying a new mac, Apple will do the migration for you, I would let them do it.
If you have an external monitor, I would try to do a data backup before doing anything.
Could also be your drive has already failed, or logic card. Again I would take it the Apple store, and have them deal with it since you bought a new Mac, they would do this for free, and the shoulder the responsibility.
Hoe this helps.

Graphic card problem maybe? Since when I have changed the hard drive to my macbook pro and I installed all the new softwares, my mac is very slow and the screen gives crazy pictures,could maybe be the graphic card, does anybody have experienced this?

after a restart it works for a time, but always slow. I went to the Applestore this afternoon and the made a check and said it would be the logicboard and they would have to change it for CHF 600 and it would be ready in 10 - 15 days

Hi,
Edit: Sorry on the new models you can remove the graphics card if thats what you mean , without changing the whole logic board, this is the same as older iMac models though, this is not new.
