Mac Mini, Yosemite reboot loop (** GPU Hardware VM is disabled)

I have a mid-2011 Mac Mini that has started to reboot spontaneously. I have ruled out hard drive and replaced RAM, but this is still happening. After several of these, the machine gets stuck in a reboot loop, from which it doesn't recover. I managed to get video of it in verbose mode, and the last line is:
** GPU Hardware VM is disabled (multispace: disabled, page table updates with DMA: disabled)
I ran Linc's script, and here is the full output:

The machine will run (seemingly) indefinitely in Safe Mode. Anyone have any ideas? This feels like it might be a GPU issue to me, but the fact is it does seem to have started since I upgraded to Yosemite.

Thanks Brett, but I'm quite well past all of the suggestions in that page. Hence my post.
The OS is not actually booting, and certainly isn't telling me it recovered from a crash. As I said in my post, "I have ruled out hard drive and replaced RAM, but this is still happening. After several of these, the machine gets stuck in a reboot loop, from which it doesn't recover."
I have filmed it in verbose mode in order to catch the last log line. I am able to run commands in single user mode.

  • Home Mac Mini Yosemite Server and Time Capsule

    Hello again,
    I''m looking to have a Mac Mini Yosemite home server with my dot com pointed to my fixed IP.
    I have a laptop, an iPad 2 and an iPhone 6 to manage in the beginning.
    It's mostly to practice skills for employment purposes.
    If I get the latest october 2014 Mac Mini with Server 4 and I want to back up the server on a Time Capsule 3 TB:
    Will it create big backups:
    Some macs will be backed up to Mac Mini Yosemite Server Time Machine Services.
    iPad and iPhone backed up in iTunes, on the server or the laptop?
    What else can be a problem?
    François

    Hello DC,
    Thanks for the quick reply.
    For the problem I try to anticipate, it was like those mac with Bootcamp, where Windows is one big file and a simple log on-log out on Boot Camped  Windows would change the big piece of bread and another complete multi GB would be backed up. the runaround was not to time-machine the Windows file and use a PC backup for the Windows stuff.
    In the same vein, if users back up to the Mac-Mini server in a sparse image, does'nt that fill the backups of the server which is also a sparse image?
    I agree with you that an external Time Machine HDD is more flexible as more than 3 TB can be needed down the road.
    As for open ended question, effectively, you read it right, I am looking for problems I did not anticipate from user who bumped into them.
    Thanks

  • Mac Mini Yosemite Install - Reboot Back to Mavericks

    I finally decided to upgrade my Mac Mini HTPC to Yosemite. I run the installer, says it's going to install, reboots, does the spinner for a bit, reboots again and I'm back at the login screen in Mavericks. If I login, it's like I never tried to install. No errors, no messages, just ... back in Mavericks.
    I downloaded the installer a second time to see if the one I had was corrupted, same result. I scanned the console quickly and while there are messages there, nothing seems like a smoking gun to me.
    Suggestions?

    Tried repairing permissions. Downloading installer yet again to see if it's changed with 10.10.3 and fixed something. Posted the same question on apple.stackexchange.com.     

  • Mac Mini Yosemite update failed now stuck in loop

    Hi I did the stupidest thing possible when upgrading an OS, didn't take a backup. Instead of trying to find space on a drive I just hit update and now I am kind of screwed. I have a new Mac Mini I bought in January of this year. The first time I downloaded yosemite from the app store and it failed due to "essentials" package. After several restarts and failures I booted to recovery mode and attempted to reinstall the OS from there. Three days later and that has failed countless times both on wifi and a hard ethernet connection.
    Can anyone suggest a way to either get me back to mavericks or get yosemite to install correctly that won't involve me losing everything on the computer?

    1. Boot into Recovery Mode
    2. Plug in your external HD
    3. Open disk utility and select Macintosh HD
    4. Select "New Image"
    5. Save it to your external HD. (If you want, you can create a read-only image, instead of a compressed image by selecting read only for the image format. The read-only takes less time)
    6. Wait for it to create the disk image
    7. Once it's done, click the erase tab on your Mac HD disk.
    8. Select "Mac OS Extended (Journaled)" for the format, and Macintosh HD for the Name.
    9. Click Erase (Note: this will erase all data on your disk)
    10. Re-install OS X.
    Hope this helps, and if you need clarification on any steps, just ask

  • I just upgrade my ram to 16g from 4 and my mac mini keeps rebooting

    i just upgraded my mac mini from 4 to 16 g of ram and now it keeps rebooting. Any idea what the problem could be or is it a hardware problem and how to tell?

    1)  It is Important to get the Correct and Matching RAM
    Use this Link to check which RAM is suitable for your Mac...
    http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/apple/memory/
    The site also have videos on how to Install RAM should you need it...

    2)  Check that the RAM is seated correctly.
    3)  Try it with only the Original RAM installed.

  • Trouble with Lion upgrade: 2009 Mac Mini not rebooting.

    Hi folks,
    I'm having trouble with the Lion upgrade. My 2009 Mac Mini (running Snow Leopard) won't reboot. Everything looked fine, but it just went black after the gray and white Apple symbol screen on the restart and I can't get it to get past this. I should mention I'm using wireless keyboard and trackpad (both Apple) and a Philips HDTV via HDMI cable as monitor. Any thought? Looking forward to using Lion.
    Thanks,
    Chris.

    Is anyone else having this problem (an infinite loop of "You need to restart your computer" messages)?
    Any thoughts or suggestions? I don't know how I can fix the problem, since I can't properly boot into the OS. I tried holding down the shift button to boot into Safe mode, only to achieve the same results.
    Any help would be much appreciated. I'm really looking forward to using Lion.
    Thanks,
    Chris

  • Did I do something to make my Mac Mini not reboot?

    Bad bad news for me. It appears I have a broken Mac Mini, very suddenly.
    I decided to upgrade RAM, and decided to take it to the store to have them install it for me.
    I shut down my Mac Mini at home. I had an external hard drive attached to it at the time. I think I 'ejected' it on the computer. I forgot to actually physically take it out of the USB port. I remember the computer and/or the hard drive 'complained' when the computer shut down but didn't think anything too much about it (made noises).
    I take it carefully in a box to the store and give it to them.
    Then, even though I had just used it hours ago, they now say it is broken and cannot be robooted. They say their usual process is to boot it up, then intall the Ram, and there is no point in intalling the RAM now since it is broken. They will take a look at it for $45 to see what is wrong with it. Then call me with further repair costs before doing anything.
    I didn't use packing material in the box. I don't beleive it moved an inch though. Could the Mac Mini really be that fragile? I didn't drive far to the store. No sudden stops. Careful in carrying it. They insinuate something could have happened to it as I carried it. I can't believe it would be that fragile though. Like I said, I don't think I moved it barely an inch.
    Could it be I shut it down improperly somehow, and this has caused it to completely break?
    could it be the external hard drive somehow? Maybe if I take it home and try to attach the hard drive, it will be happy?
    It just seems so odd that it broke so suddenly.
    Should I pay the $45 for them to check it out, or try taking it home and seeing what I can do with it?
    ANY help much apprecaited.

    It's an odd thing that the system fails to boot and sticks at the grey screen with no external drive attached, yet you haven't (at least knowingly) installed MacOS on the external. It's possible you dragged something over that you shouldn't have, but that should have resulted in the mini, with no external attached, giving some indication of the failure to boot up, such as the flashing question mark.
    It's also possible of course that the act or reconnecting the external and booting the system were coincidental, and that there's really no relationship between the two events!
    If it were my system, I'd run Disk Utility (in Applications>Utilities) and see which drive the system is booted from, and use the Verify Disk tool to check for errors on the drive. One thing seems pretty certain however, and that is that even though the system runs fairly slowly, there's nothing much wrong with it in hardware terms, thus aside from new memory, it should not be a major problem to get it running well. Backing up your data to the external and then doing an Erase and Install of MacOS before restoring your data from the backup should be all it takes.
    After that, if your external drive is the same size or bigger than the internal, and since you haven't seemed to use it much, you might want to consider using a utility such as Carbon Copy Cloner, or SuperDuper! (I prefer the latter) to do a regular complete backup of your drive, such that if anything goes wrong, not only will you have a backup of your data, but also a full duplicate of the boot drive. That would get you readily back in business is the drive failed or your data was corrupted, and could be automated so you don't have to mess with dragging files yourself.

  • My Mac Mini keeps rebooting itself automatically after I've shut it down!

    Hi All,
    Something that has been going on for a few months now is that when I go to close down my Mac Mini, it goes to the white screen, then goes black, and then suddenly reboots, and comes up with something like "Your computer is rebooting because of a problem"....I am running Mountain Lion (latest version).
    I can avoid this happening 9 times out of 10 if I go into Disk Utility and do a 'repair permissions', but surely this is WRONG.
    I have my Mini plugged into an Apple LED Cinema Display, so problems with HDMI as I've read in other threads.
    Anybody else experiencing this problem and anybody resolved it?
    Thanks

  • OS X 10.9.2 on Mac Mini 2012 reboots randomly

    Hi everybody, I have a Mac Mini 2012 2.3ghz model. I bought with Mountain Lion and everything was very very good. I updated to Mavericks from ML and, a little bit slow, but, I knew it, I needed update since zero. So, I did it, and, since that day, I have a lot of reboots randomly. One day, I had as 4 or 5 reboots in 2 or 3 hours. I mean, ***!!!. Sometimes that passed when I close Safari with a lot of tabs. Sometimes when I eject an USB or HDD. It's so randomly.
    I've done repair permissions and pass it Ccleaner. The Mac is still rebooting. I have the last report. I hope you can help me. Thank you very much!.

  • My Mac mini keeps rebooting

    My Mac mini with lion x server software keeps rebooting following the recent lion software update. How can I fix the problem? I don't have a start up disk. Can I repair my installion without an external drive

    The first thing I would try is safe boot. Hold down the shift key right after power on. This often solves issues that arrives right after an update.

  • Bluetooth pairing mac mini yosemite with iPhone 5c

    I was advised to update my mac mini to Yosemite and my iPhone 5c to i08.02 to enable bluetooth pairing but it still won't work. Has anyone else solved the problem?

    Have the same problem with Mac mini "Core 2 Duo" 2.66 (Server-Mid 2010) running Yosemite and iPhone 5c running iOS 8.1. The devices do show up in each others discovery list, however connection fails during paring. No connection established.

  • My Mac Mini/Yosemite is new. But it now has malwares and Mac Keeper keeps popping up even after uninstalling.. Who can help?

    Hi everyone,
    My mac mini is new. I have a few issues with it.
    But the most annoying is the malwares that infested it now. I have only been using it for about 3 weeks or so. Of course, I thought everything that popped up are safe to click and just standard to click. I don't know yet what's best. Either, I figure out how to remove these ads / malwares or I just thought of reformatting it and start anew with it.
    What would you guys recommend and please include steps for me to follow. I'm no techy.
    By the way, I do not see these extensions on my Finder files (Conduit, also known as Trovi, MyBrand, or Search Protect, etc.) As a matter of fact, my extensions folder is empty except for the Adblock and AdBlock Plus that I recently installed to kill the ads.  However, it worked but it didn't stop MacKeeper and Facebook ads from popping to a new window each time I click a link, or just a space on a safari)
    On YouTube, when I watch a video, every second, the other videos are pushed down for as long as i watch, they are kept being pushed down. These are done by ads that are being stopped by the AB and ABP. yes, the ads do not appear. Just a white space forever adding up. Very frustrating. Please help.
    Thanks in advance!

    Helpful Links Regarding Malware Problems
    If you are having an immediate problem with ads popping up see The Safe Mac » Adware Removal Guide, AdwareMedic, or Remove unwanted adware that displays pop-up ads and graphics on your Mac - Apple Support.
    Open Safari, select Preferences from the Safari menu. Click on Extensions icon in the toolbar. Disable all Extensions. If this stops your problem, then re-enable them one by one until the problem returns. Now remove that extension as it is causing the problem.
    The following comes from user stevejobsfan0123. I have made minor changes to adapt to this presentation.
    Fix Some Browser Pop-ups That Take Over Safari.
    Common pop-ups include a message saying the government has seized your computer and you must pay to have it released (often called "Moneypak"), or a phony message saying that your computer has been infected, and you need to call a tech support number (sometimes claiming to be Apple) to get it resolved. First, understand that these pop-ups are not caused by a virus and your computer has not been affected. This "hijack" is limited to your web browser. Also understand that these messages are scams, so do not pay any money, call the listed number, or provide any personal information. This article will outline the solution to dismiss the pop-up.
    Quit Safari
    Usually, these pop-ups will not go away by either clicking "OK" or "Cancel." Furthermore, several menus in the menu bar may become disabled and show in gray, including the option to quit Safari. You will likely have to force quit Safari. To do this, press Command + option + esc, select Safari, and press Force Quit.
    Relaunch Safari
    If you relaunch Safari, the page will reopen. To prevent this from happening, hold down the 'Shift' key while opening Safari. This will prevent windows from the last time Safari was running from reopening.
    This will not work in all cases. The shift key must be held at the right time, and in some cases, even if done correctly, the window reappears. In these circumstances, after force quitting Safari, turn off Wi-Fi or disconnect Ethernet, depending on how you connect to the Internet. Then relaunch Safari normally. It will try to reload the malicious webpage, but without a connection, it won't be able to. Navigate away from that page by entering a different URL, i.e. www.apple.com, and trying to load it. Now you can reconnect to the Internet, and the page you entered will appear rather than the malicious one.
    An excellent link to read is Tom Reed's Mac Malware Guide.
    Also, visit The XLab FAQs and read Detecting and avoiding malware and spyware.
    See these Apple articles:

      OS X Mountain Lion- Protect your Mac from malware

    If you require anti-virus protection Thomas Reed recommends using ClamXAV. (Thank you to Thomas Reed for this recommendation.)
    From user Joe Bailey comes this equally useful advice:
    The facts are:
    1. There is no anti-malware software that can detect 100% of the malware out there.
    2. There is no anti-malware that can detect everything targeting the Mac.
    3. The very best way to prevent the most attacks is for you as the user to be aware that
         the most successful malware attacks rely on very sophisticated social engineering
         techniques preying on human avarice, ****, and fear.
    4. Internet popups saying the FBI, NSA, Microsoft, your ISP has detected malware on
        your computer is intended to entice you to install their malware thinking it is a
        protection against malware.
    5. Some of the anti-malware products on the market are worse than the malware
        from which they purport to protect you.
    6. Be cautious where you go on the internet.
    7. Only download anything from sites you know are safe.
    8. Avoid links you receive in email, always be suspicious even if you get something
        you think is from a friend, but you were not expecting.
    9. If there is any question in your mind, then assume it is malware.

  • HDMI On Mac Mini Late 2012: Problem with hardware?

    Just converted from PC to Mac.
    Purchased latest mac mini (Late 2012 version)
    Have tried several monitors through HDMI port and each time the picture quality is poor with very bad text resolution.
    Have tried HDMI to HDMI  and also tried HDMI to DVI adaptor.
    This is with full 1080p 27 inch samsung monitor and HP 2010i monitor.
    Is there a problem with the HDMI port on this new mac mini?
    The monitors I have are fine and are crystal sharp when connected to PC.
    Many thanks if you can answer this

    OK. So I have now tried LG 27 Inch E2742 Monitor as follows:
    1) Mini display to DVI-D : Picture good with decent text resolution
    2) HDMI-HDMI: Picture poor with poor colour and text resolution. This is not a calibration issue.
    The samsung monitor 27 inch series 3 also has poor picture and colour and text resolution with HDMI-HDMI. Again this is not a calibration issue. It does not have a DVI-D input to test the minidisplay port.
    So it seems the HDMI port is not working properly but the minidisplay one is ok as I suspected.
    From reading the other threads it seems this is a common problem including those people that have taken their minis back for an exchange and experienced same problem.
    Is there likely to be a software update to resolve this?
