Logic board or graphic/video card failure?

I have an iMac Core 2 Duo (Late 2006) 2.16 GHz, max RAM. I have been getting kernel panics and/or the screen with gray overlay and the multilingual instructions to re-start. I don't know whether I have impending logic board, video/graphic card failure, or some other hardware issue. I am running the latest OS X - 10.6.8, Safari, iTunes and the latest update of ProTools LE 8. I don't want to go through the upgrade to Lion or PT 9, until I determine that I either have a fixable issue with this iMac, or that the repair would not be logical compared to a computer replacement. The graphic/video indications are periodic, momentary distortions (stretching) of the screen image (usually a single image or portion of an image), tv-like interference lines (sometimes green, sometimes black, sometimes persistent, sometimes intermittent). They don't appear to have a predictive function to the k panics or restart messages.
Here is the crash report from this afternoon:

Possible video card failure?

Screenshot:
http://users.vianet.ca/dtrudel/example1.jpg
I've started having problems with playing 3D video games, like the system totally freezing up and I'd have to reboot, or I'd get weird graphic things happening like in the picture above. At first, this just happened when playing games, but now it just happened when I was using safari. The pixels and weird lines don't go away until I reboot. Also, my system has completely locked up on me a few times over the last couple of days...when I wasn't playing any games...I was just checking my mail, or accessing a drop-down menu from the menu bar. When it freezes, I can't force quit...the system is totally unresponsive and I have to use the power button.
I've gone through most of the standard troubleshooting steps:
Verified and Repaired Permissions
Ran TechTool Deluxe
Ran the Apple Hardware Test
Ran OnyX
Deleted Preferences
I also created a new user for testing as advised by an Apple Care Rep and did a Clean Install of OS X
The tests (TechTool Deluxe and Apple Hardware Test) indicate that everything is supposedly fine.
When my system crashes, I often see this line (or something similar) in the logs:
Nov 24 20:57:59 localhost kernel: ATIRadeon::submit_buffer: Overflowed block waiting for FIFO space. Have 5, need 6. RBBM_STATUS 0x8009c111. VAPCNTLSTATUS 0x00000002
Has anyone had this experience, and can anyone confirm if this is indicative of a video card failure? My understanding is that the video card on the eMac is part of the logic board. The Apple Rep said the last thing I can try before taking it to a service center would be to erase everything and reformat. I really don't want to do that unless there is really some reason to believe that it might actually solve the problem. I mean, I'd have to spend several hours reinstalling everything, etc.
emac Mac OS X (10.3.9) 1.25 GHZ, 512 RAM, ATI Radeon 9200

the video card was bad, needed to have the logic board replaced

Compaq 6005 Micro Tower graphics/video card

Having issues with PC. Monitor screen splits whatever is open and it appears on both the top and bottom of the screen. It has also had instance where large protion of the screen was black. When this happens, can't get to the toolbar to do anything. Computer freezes and only way to restart is by powering down. Changed monitor and cables but still happening. Thinking it must be graphic/video card. Called HP and the guy said it was on the board and can't be replaced but everything I have read says card can be replaced. Device Manager says it is a NVIDIA Quadro NVS295. Drivers are up to date.
So, can I replace the card or not? If so, which one do you recommend?
Thanks in advance.

On startup Mac Pro I get a blue screen and a cursor on the upper left. The mouse cursor shows up independently. Is it likely a video card failure?

On startup Mac Pro I get a blue screen and a cursor on the upper left. The mouse cursor shows up independently. Is it likely a video card failure?

I managed to boot the computer and get the desktop to show. I now have a "repaired" computer. There are several problems that have cropped up. One is that I can only start up now in Safe Boot mode. Is there a way to turn it off? Also, I do not have a sound list, so I can't access anything requiring audio. Google Chrome only shows up as a white screen. Pictures that loaded before don't load in browsers, etc. Any suggestions? I figure I should reinstall Mac OS Lion for starts, maybe even do a mirror backup and reformat the drive. I think this drive has turned into scrambled eggs...what a headache!

Graphics/Video Card [REPLACEMENT / UPGRADE] on HP Pavilion Desktop - Help

I have the following:
HP Pavilion Elite m9152p Desktop
Upgraded to Windows 7 Professional 64-bit (upgraded 11-2009)
The video card seems to have gone out and I have tried the following:
Reinstalling Operating system
Uninstalled & Reinstalled & Rollback drivers
Prior to the above attempts, no changes had been made to software or hardware only leading to the same result: The video seems to be fine and then it freezes and crashes and ultimately has to have a hard-restart at which point, the computer loads the onboard video/graphics.
I need to purchase a replacement video/graphics card, but I am unsure what specs I need to be aware of or what my computer can handle as far as a replacement and maybe a possible upgrade (not necessary) - any help in this regard would be most appreciated.
Thanks!
This question was solved.
View Solution.

I think it is a good choice.
The reviews seem positive for the most part including that the fan appears to be quiet.
I don't know if your previous card had HDMI.
When you install your new video card, it may disable your onboard audio due to the HDMI audio chip on the video card.
If you do lose your onboard audio, after you install the video drivers, reboot the machine, go into the BIOS, find the onboard audio setting. It may be set to Auto or Disabled. Change the setting to Enabled. Save the setting where you made the change and again when you exit the BIOS.
Upon reboot you will have your onboard audio back.
Looking forward to hearing back from you.

In need of a new Graphics/Video card,..which one?

My computer stopped booting all the way a couple of days ago. Took it to Apple store where they told me I need a new Graphics card. As of now I have:
Chipset Model: NVIDIA GeForce 7300 GT
Bus: PCIe
PCIe Lane Width: x16
VRAM (Total): 256 MB
Vendor: NVIDIA (0x10de)
ROM Revision: 3011
Does anybody have a suggestion on which one to get?
When it comes to that stuff, I have no clue which one is good/better etc.
Any help would be appreciated. I would be willing to spend $250-$350 unless I get an amazing one for a bit higher.
I don't do a lot of graphics work on the computer, but, I do like my computer games.
I was looking at this on OWC:
http://eshop.macsales.com/item/ATI%20Technologies/100435928/
(ATI RADEON 3870 256-bit 512MB GDDR4 16x PCIe Video Card for the Mac Pro with two Dual-Link DVI Ports, supports two 30" displays! Supports HDMI output up to 1920x1080!)
Thanks

Then, if I look on comments on the Apple website, some people say it does work on older models, some say it does not because this card requires PCI Express 2.0??
The card is PCI Express 2. Your Mac Pro has just standard PCI Express. However, that doesn't matter , since PCI Express 2 was designed to be compatible with standard PCI Express. Any PCI Express card (2.0 or not) can be used in any PCI Express slot (2.0 or not). Of course you only get 2.0 speed if the card and slot are both 2.0.
PCI slot 1 (the lower slot) in your Mac Pro is a 16x slot, and will provide plenty of speed for the card. It is unlikely that an older Mac Pro could send data any faster than that slot could handle. The new Mac Pros have faster memory, and might be able to use the extra speed of PCI Express 2.0.

Video card failure?

My old iMac G5 is about to lose its graphic card. The image on the screen jitters and has vertical bands, some color distortion and blocks of patterns replacing some of the desktop. Eventually the whole thing lo Is there any way that I can migrate to my new iMac.

Hello,
Assuming the worst happens this shouldn't be an impediment to moving to a new Mac.
You can boot the iMac into Target Disk Mode (by holding the T key down during the startup of the old iMac) with the Macs connected by Firewire then the old Mac appears as a hard disk drive on the other Mac. You can the using Migration Assistant or manually transfer your files across.
Alternatives:
1. To look at setting up screen sharing on the old iMac if you already have another computer on the same network
2. Using an external monitor/flat screen TV via the MiniVGA port on the Mac (this might not work though if the fault is with the video card rather than the display).

ThinkCentre USFF M57P 9071-A8U: I Want to Upgrade The Graphic Video Card

Hello guys. I currently own an IBM Lenovo ThinkCentre M57p 9071A8U ultra small factor form. I already upgrade the CPU bios to 2RKT64BUS (01/08/14), an Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 2.4 GHz Quad-Core, 4GB PC2-6400 memory ram and Windows 8.1. The integrated Intel Q35 Express video Chipset is great but I want to upgrade it. The system comes with a PCI-Express slot and a PCI slot riser on it. I actually changed the riser to a PCI/ADD2-R Riser V3.1 Adapter Card PCI-E:
Link to image 1
I had to do some adaptations to make this riser fit, but the system accepted the riser and all drivers were properly installed. This riser allows to install a PCIE x1 card. I bought a Lenovo 41T2725 ATI X1600 Pro 256MB Video Graphics Card (GV-RX16PIU-RH LVK-X1600):
Link to image 2
ATI does not support Windows 8 for this graphic card but I used Windows 7 64 bit drivers and software for this. I connect my monitor to the X1600 VGA port. The problem is that the computer boots until the Windows 8 logging screen and after that the screen gets black only showing the mouse cursor. At that particular point, if I unplug my monitor from the X1600 VGA port and plug it to the M57P VGA port, I can see and use Windows normally. But if I leave the computer plugged to the M57P VGA port, I would not see the ThinkCentre bios screen nor the Windows 8 logging screen. The screen is black until the Windows operating system screen. The Intel Q35 integrated video does the opposite of the X1600. This very confusing. I have tried playing with the bios video section but nothing has changed.
I really would like to upgrade my video card on my system. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanking you in advance,

I noticed that there is an ATI Video BIOS Flash Utility for ATI Radeon X1600 Pro graphics adapters which will upate ATI Radeon X1600 graphics adapters to video BIOS S3A67621.109. :
http://support.lenovo.com/en/downloads/ds000784
This is for Windows XP (32-bit) only. I am using Windows 8.1. Would by any chance be an ATI video Bios flash for this X1600 Pro card for a 64 bit operating system??

Problem with Graphic/Video Card?

I brought it to a Apple Service Centre and they told me all I had to do was reformat my MBP to get it up and running again (they could do it for me for $150... what a rip off). So after I reformatted it at home, I was hoping there wouldn't be any blue screen of death this time. But alas, no. It happened again.
I've read a couple of threads on here and I have a feeling it has something to do with a damaged video card. Also, I realised I can't watch videos on Youtube now.
Has anyone experienced something similar? I guess I have to go all the way down to the Apple Service Centre AGAIN...

Yeah if you reformatted the disk then re-installed os x fresh that most likely rules out any software issues . At least you didn't pay them 150$ just for them to tell you it needs more service though.

Can I upgrade the graphics/video card?

I just bought my son a brand new HP Envy 17-j130us 17.3-Inch Touchsmart Laptop with Beats Audio from Amazon.com. Now, I love Intel, but can the graphics card be upgraded? He likes those real intensive games, and well, he's earned it.

No there is just no way to upgrade the graphics. That is true of almost all laptops. Are you still within the period to return it and buy something with better graphics?

Code 43 error after updating Intel HD graphics video card

Hello.
My HP Pavilion G6 laptop consists of 2 graphics cards: 1- Intel HD Graphics Family
2- Radeon HD 6470M
I opened my device manager today, and i tried to update my Intel HD Graphics . Turns out there was an update for it, and after it was done, it displayed Intel HD Graphics 3000. That was after i rebooted my computer.
After the reboot, my Intel card updated. However I re opened the device manager, and i see that the Radeon HD 6470M has an exclamation mark on it. I opened the properties and i see a message saying: Windows has stopped this device because it reported issues(Code 43) . This occured after i updated my Intel card.
I fixed it with system restore. But can someone tell me why this happened? The HP Support Assistan said that there is no updates available, so the device manager should determine that the Intel card is up to date.
Any help? Thanks.

Don't know what driver you have installed but the latest version is 8.882.2.0 Rev. released Jan 14, 2015
You may get this driver from here should you wish.
http://support.hp.com/us-en/drivers/selfservice/HP-Pavilion-g6-Notebook-PC-series/5145704/model/5170...
Instead of using system restore you may right click the driver in Device Manager and Roll back the driver, makes it easier for you.
Please mark my post as SOLVED if it has resolved your problem. It helps others with similar situations.

Can i create a 3d extrusions with my basic Intel (r) HD graphics video card?

Ok, I wasn't able to take a snip shot of the 3d drop down menu.... when i do select the 3d tab, new 3d extrusion and from selected layer and new mesh from layer are both highlighted in the drop down menu; however once i click on either one NOTHING happens! my video driver has been updated and i have the correct amount of memory to run 3d. what do i need to do? Also I'm still in the trial period of photoshop (day7) help me please!

How did you update? Go to the Intel site here:
Download Center
And select your chipset.
To figure out which one you have, open the Device Manager, and check the display adapters entry.

Warning - be sure which one to install. And some vendors' machines might not work with the official Intel drivers, but you can always re-install the old one through auto-update.

Video card failure on iMac (aluminum) - Excellent Apple Support

My iMac (aluminum) 20" (2.4 GHz, 2GB RAM, 500GB HDD) greeted me with a grey / black screen this morning, a reboot resorted in the screen flashing as if the back light was going as it booted up along with static / noise lines and dashes then the screen going grey / black again. Called Apple Support and they talked me through the various PRAM resets etc all with the same effects. He suggested that I could either have it repaired or a new iMac sent out to me, I opted for the latter as I asume this will be much quicker. I was able to connect the imac to my plasma TV and reboot and it luckily picked up the TV as the main display. I copied all my info to an external drive and carried out a fresh install of the OS. I disconnected and rebooted the imac but the display, as I guessed was still toast. I'm very dissapointed about the iMac dying like that but very pleased with Apple's Support Team here in the U.K. I'm now back to watching the delivery status pages, should be shipping between the 18th / 22nd October and hopefully arriving in time for Leopard 10.5!

Sad to hear about your iMac dying like that, however it's a good positive story in the end, which seems to be lacking these days as far as iMac's are concerned. One up for Apple!

Logic board or graphic/video card failure?
