Integrated GPU Just Failed

Hey everyone,
My integrated GPU just failed. Using GFX card status I have my AMD permanently selected and the macbook pro is running fine.
I'm running a 15-inch, Late 2011 MBP.
Is there any negatives of using the AMD as the sole GPU without dynamic switching (I think that's what it's called) ?
What other options do I have for a fix?
MBP is out of warranty
Any ideas?
thanks!

  • Integrated GPU (or driver) fails on built-in screen only: Mid 2009 MBP 15

    Hello All,
    Long time reader, first time poster.  Thanks in advance for your valuable time helping with this strange issue.
    Note:
    This MBP uses dual GPU's, but does not feature automatic graphics switching; graphics switching is either accomplished by logging out or launching GFXCardStatus.  GFXCardStatus was not installed prior to this problem presenting.
    Symptoms:
    I first noticed this problem recently while on battery power, disconnected from all external devices, when I tried to switch to the integrated GPU from the discreet Nvidia GeForce 9600M.  At this point, I was on Yosemite 10.1 installed fresh from the app store two months previously (reformat done to use the SSD's hardware encryption).  When I logged out, the display went black immediately, but the backlight was still on.  I restarted, reset NVRAM and the SMC, and held option key on startup to attempt simply to get the grey screen, but still had no action on the display except for the backlight.  At that point I hooked the laptop up to my Cinema Display and voilá, I could see the usual login screen.  I immediately switched back to the discreet GPU, and both the built-in and external displays worked properly.  The problem is perfectly duplicable; on the integrated GPU, only the external display is responsive.  With discreet GPU, the built-in display works fine every time.  It had been a long time since I remembered using the integrated GPU.
    Console revealed that XPC was unable to find display 0x00001 (invalid address).  A number of other posts have described XPC issues with other MBP's using dual graphics and Yosemite, but all of the other threads described being unable to connect to external displays; this is the first case, to my knowledge, of the XPC problem interfering with the built-in display.
    Also, the MBP built-in display works fine when booted into safe mode.  It appears that the MBP is using the integrated GPU when in safe mode.  I reviewed all of my extensions and startup items, and it appeared only that the Realtek wireless drivers were loading a third-party (non-Apple-supplied) kext.  Removing the Realtek extensions made no difference.
    I changed Colorsync color profiles for the built-in display using while running on integrated GPU to no effect.  My next step will be to reinstall from scratch and see if the problem is fixed, but given the implied low level of the problem (it appears to be related to the drivers or SMC) I think that fix isn't guaranteed.  With driver files not being available by themselves though, a reinstall may be my only option.  Oh yes: Apple Diagnostics lists no problems.  Permissions repair and Disk Repair have been ineffective.  Also, the OS still lets me drag things over to the built-in display when both the built-in and external displays are active; in Displays preference panes, things look normal except for the fact that the built-in display is all black.
    Updating to Yosemite 10.2 made no difference.
    Thanks again for reading!

    It is most definitely recurring as I cannot reach the OS by any means. Tried resetting the PRAM also, starting via recovery disk also leads to an automatic restart. In all cases the Apple logo can bee seen with the progress indicator running. At one point it stops, and restarts itself. The machine can only be used in target disk mode.

    My MacBook Pro 15-inch with NVIDIA GeForce 8600M GT graphics processors just failed. Do you guys know if apple still fixes them?

    I tried last week. The best I could get was a discount on the repair, but the damage to my logic board by the GPU caused it to no longer boot. The program ended in December last year, but it has been extended in the past.
    If you have no other damage you might be able to get a flat rate tier 1 repair if you are in the USA.

  • T60. Will it run autocad 2009 with 3D Grahpics? Integrated GPU???? How do I find it?

    (Well, I thought the proplem was solved) I have a T60. I'm ready and willing to upgrade, but in any case, how do I verify "discrete or switchable graphics"?
    The last advise I got from the board was the following: 
    "Any ThinkPad with discrete or switchable graphics will work...T400/500, R400/500, W500/700...make sure that you're not getting the one with Intel integrated GPU and you'll be all set...
    FWIW, even T61/p with discrete GPU will run  this with no sweat..."
    Thanks.
    --robert (RAB)

    ok then,
    do you know if there is an alternative way, such as underclocking permanently the GPU, just as I did with the CPU?
    at least it would stabilize the temperatures around 80.. or sth

  • SAP Business One Integration Services Authentication Failed

    Dear ,
    ALL SAP forum members,
    Iam Using SAP Business One 8.81 PL 06, Micorsoft SQL 2008 R2
    In SLD B1DI and  JDBC, the connections were tested successfully.
    Whenever I log into SBO, I am getting "SAP Business One Integration Services Authentication Failed" error message. I did extensive research on all possible SBO documents dating 1 year back especially in B1ic Troubleshooting Document (New and Old) and searched the length of the SBO forums, but I could not a solution.
    I uninstalled and reinstalled the B1f package many a time. The integration services we re also restarted many times and the connections were all tested successfully. Firewall, AntiVirus also checked.
    In the B1f, in the Monitoring Window, the login is "Ok" but the AuthCheck is "Failed". I checked Authent.Monitor->Authentic Info  and I found the following message under Action message "Wrong Usrname and Password".
    I debugged and i found again "/com.sap.b1i.vplatform.scenarios.authen/sap.Xcelsius/Authenticate_Check.bfd
    But could not understand much of it.
    But i could go no further. The experts are requested to suggest their solutions, If any, to me as Iam stuck in this phase for the last 3 week
    I hope some experts will guide me over this issue
    Thanks and regards

    Hi Konstantin Ryahovsky

    Thanks & regards

  • Meaning of this error (ISE 1.2 on SNS-3415): HARDWARE RNG INTEGRITY CHECK HAS FAILED!

    Hi. We recently purchased an ISE 1.2 appliance (SNS-3415 hardware). It installed fine, but I am unable to access the GUI. When I login to the box and run the following command on the CLI
    ISE-12-NS-SD-2/admin# show application status ise
    I see the following output:
    ISE Database listener is running, PID: 7737
    ISE Database is running, number of processes: 38
    ISE Application Server process is not running.
    ISE Profiler DB is running, PID: 9090
    ISE M&T Session Database is running, PID: 8959
    ISE M&T Log Collector is running, PID: 9294
    ISE M&T Log Processor is running, PID: 9376
    % ERROR: ISE SERVICES HAVE BEEN DISABLED BECAUSE
    %        HARDWARE RNG INTEGRITY CHECK HAS FAILED!
    Can anyone help me? What can I do to ensure that the hardware RNG integrity check succeeds. Is it a license issue? Is it faulty hardware? Please advise. I would be very greatful.
    Thanks in advance.

    I worked with a TAC engineer on this and he said one other customer had this issue and the only recourse was reimaging the appliance with the ISE 1.2 ISO image.
    I did reboot, restarted services, reset to factory default and none of that worked. It is possible that the issue happened because during setup of the appliance I didn't have network connectivity and went ahead with the setup and configuration of the ISE application anyway. I later had network connectivity but by that time ISE manifested this fault.
    Reimaging and ensuring network connectivity during setup the next time around fixed the problem.

  • I have a slow startup or login, with numerious spinning wheels. Sometimes after a long ti,e I can sign into the computer and sometimes it just fails to startup or login. I have a MacBookPro OS X 10.7.5 from 2011

    I have a slow startup or login, with numerious spinning wheels. Sometimes after a long ti,e I can sign into the computer and sometimes it just fails to startup or login. I have a MacBookPro OS X 10.7.5 from 2011. It became more serious recently as I think I might have let my battery run out I also tried to download the operating system to reinstall it but it allways stops around 1.4 GB out of 1.7 then the whell starts again.

    Keep the MBP attached to the power adapter.
    First try SMC and PRAM resets:

    Then try to boot the MBP in recovery (OPTION key down) and select the recover partition.  Select Disk Utility>First Aid and verify and repair the HDD.

  • MSI Z97 Gaming 7-can't use integrated GPU alongside dedicated for quicksync OBS

    Hello, I've encountered a problem with my new MSI motherboard (I hope). I can no longer select the option to use the secondary virtual display with the integrated GPU. This was not a problem with my old Gigabyte Z87-D3H motherboard. I have enabled the iGPU in bios with the multi-monitor support turned on, re installed both Intel graphics and nVidia drivers but I still don't get the option. In device manager and Display Driver Uninstaller utility the HD 4600 shows up, which appears normal.
    I am running a single monitor, MSI GTX 970, Intel i5 4670k.
    EDIT

    Initiate graphic adapter - PEG
    IGD Mutli-Monitor - Enabled ?
    Yes, as I have mentioned above I have enabled it.

    What's your driver version?
    GeForce 344.75 ?
    Yes, it's updated to the latest version.
    In OBS the Quicksync option can be enabled, however the CPU usage stays the same while streaming and the iGPU usage always stays at around 15%.

  • My Lacie 2big 6TB Raid just failed. Help!

    Hi
    My Lacie 2Tb Raid just failed and I am looking for any advice on fixing it.
    When I turned on my computer, I noticed that my raid didnt pop up. When I opened Disk Utility, it shows that one of the drives have failed. The image is below.
    Is there any possible way to fix or recover that drive?
    The HD was backed up a week ago, but I am not 100% sure what was added since then.
    Thanks

    Call Lacie. If it's not under warranty, do yourself a favor and go buy something else.
    I work in IT at a non-profit. We had 4 Lacie 2big units all fail within 12 months, all just out of warranty. They are pure junk. I won't touch them, ever again. One failure is one thing. drives fail. Everything fails eventually. But having 4 of them fail within that short a period of time is just inexcusable.

  • My Time Capsule has just failed, 2 months after the end of 12m warranty. same old known power supply issue, "just unlucky" says my local Apple service center. ***?

    i bought a 2TB Time Capsule in Sep 2010. its just failed last week, less than 2 months after the expiry of the 12month warranty.
    and 3 months after the end of Apple's offer to replace all the many Time Capsules that have failed previously due to this same fault.
    nice timing guys.
    "yeah, its dead. same old known power supply issue", says my local Apple service center, "just unlucky".
    huh? "unlucky"? you sell products with known defects, and when it fails i'm "unlucky". nice.
    "OK, anyway, how much to fix it ?", i ask.
    "you can't fix them, its closed", is the reply, "you have to buy another one".
    "hmpf. OK, how do I get my backed-up data off it ?"
    "you can't. we could try break it open and recover the hard disk i guess, but no guarantees we'd get it, and you'd have to pay for us to do that, whether it works or not of course".
    "er.... is there a hidden camera in here? are we on TV? you can't be serious ? ..and this piece of garbage is what i've been using for a secure backup of my precious, irreplaceable, priceless personal data  ???"

    ceeb28744.  Welcome to the Apple Users Support Community.  Sorry to hear your TC died!  You said it was a 2TB so I would guess it be the model A1355/MB997LL/A or MC344LL/A.  Believe it or not all users of these time capsules will eventually experience this problem like you have.  There is a 99.5% (or better) chance that the only thing that is wrong with it is the internal power supply.  If you will go to this site.... https://sites.google.com/site/lapastenague/a-deconstruction-of-routers-and-modem s/apple-time-capsule-repair  and once there look over at the left side and you will find:
    Apple Time Capsule Repairers    and from that list you will be able to choose from a list of individuals that could repair your TC and have it returned to you fully operational again.  The individuals on the list are hardware technicians and they can save you a lot of money and time.

  • I installed all creative suite /cloud products on my main hard drive which has just failed. I can't

    I installed all creative suite /cloud products on my main hard drive which has just failed. I can't open the apps on that drive. How can I deauthorize them when the drive is damaged beyond repair and unresponsive?

    Kay5000 you are posting in a pubic forum.
    As Ankit stated please try installing and activating Creative Cloud on your replacement computer/hard drive.  If you have reached your maximum activation count then you will be prompted to deactivate all your activations.  This will then allow you to activate on the replacement computer/hard drive.
    For Creative Suite 6 I would recommend that you try installing as well.  If you receive a message that you have exceeded your amount of allowable activations then please contact our support team directly.  Our support team will be able to increase your activation count and allow you to install on the replacement computer/hard drive.  You can contact our chat support at http://adobe.ly/yxj0t6 to make this request.
