Macbook pro 2011 randomly restarting

So,
My 2011 macbook likes to do this thing every six months or so where it begins to restart itself, initially i thought due to over heating but since using smc fan control i dont think its that.. Its been to apple, and it apparently passed the hardware tests.  A new thing thats started happening however is my firewire powered soundcard also sporadically shuts off, which isnt helpful. Sometimes this is followed by a crash, sometimes not.
Heres my latest crash report, can anyone shed some light on the issue?

Try un-installing these programs, probably starting with Pace. Un-install using the developer’s instructions to make sure you remove all parts of the application.

    15” MBP Mid 2010 models have been recalled for GPU issues.  See https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-5681.
    Official Apple statement: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4088
    Print out a copy of your kernel panic and a copy of this Knowledge Base article and go to an Apple store or Apple Authorizes Service Provider with your machine and the documentation.
    Genius reservation http://www.apple.com/retail/geniusbar/ .
    or find an Apple Authorized Service Provider https://locate.apple.com/country
    If it has been three years since your date of purchase then you are past the date covered by the recall but sometimes they honor it anyway.

    Google Chrome has a history of compatibility problems with OSX.  Consider using Firefox, Safari or Opera instead.
    There is a possibility that the RAM you installed may be a cause.  See what happens when you install the original RAM.
    Try running an Apple hardware Test.  That might provide a clue:

  • Mid 2010 Macbook Pro 15" Random Restarts

    My Mid 2010 Macbook Pro 15" restarts randomly, this has been happening for quite a while now, but more so recently than ever before.
    I don't think I"m losing any data, but it's a bother when I'm trying ot study or do anything productive for that matter.
    There are times when it works like a charm for extended periods of time, but if it means anything, it seems to happen more when I move it, although it is not exclusive to that.
    I use a plug in keyboard and mouse, and I have my laptop on a stand, so I don't belive it's a hardware issue, although I might be mistaken.
    Here are the details of the Error Report:

    I hope someone can help me out! Thanks!

    I have an appointment set up to see if they will fix mine.  Hopefully it is a "recall" level repair as my MBP is out of warranty.
    I previously thought my issue was a SSD I put in the computer followed by a 500GB drive retrofit into the SuperDrive bay.
    After much troubleshooting I put the original drives (500GB and SuperDrive) back into the MBP, reinstalled OS X, and installed one app that I found caused a Kernel Panic (KP) without fail (Hallmark Card Studio [HMCS])*
    As soon as I ran the app I got a KP.  So while the computer still has an issue am glad that it is not the SSD (because I want to put that speed demon back in once the video card is fixed).
    Other curiosities was when the computer would KP: I played BOTH Portal games over the Winter Solstice holiday season and neither one KPd the Mac once.  But fiddling around in iPhoto, Pixelmator, and other graphics intensive apps would.  Strange.
    I will report back with what Apple does (the appointment is March 5th, 2013).

    *My father and bride both have Mountain Lion (like me) running on their Macs (iMac and Air respectively) and can run HMCS with no KP issues.

  • My macbook pro 2011 keeps restarting

    I have a macbook pro early 2011, today it started acting up, it freezes for a moment and then restart by itself, and I don't know what the issue is

    which version of OS X is installed on your Early 2011 MacBook Pro?
    If you boot into Safe mode, does your MacBook Pro act in the same way?

  • MacBook pro 2011 randomly playing music (Apple loop)

    So I was doing a Keynote presentation at my camp, (I'm the A/V guy) and as I started the presentation, this music started playing. Assuming it was the DVD I had just inserted for ripping for later in the session, I quit handbrake, and ejected the DVD. Even when closing the keynote presentation, and quitting all apps, including keynote, the music continued. It sounded like an apple loop of some sort, as in a jazzy poppy loop that would not stop. Now I did end up solving the problem by doing a restart, but of ever this happens again, has anyone experienced this before? And if so do you know why? It was really weird, especially as the whole camp was dancing to this unwanted music.

    This has happened to my MacBook Pro 13" also.  I did a restart and then a total shutdown and power up.  This did not solve the problem for me.  Anyone else have any ideas?

    Boot into Recovery by holding down the key combination command-R at the startup chime. Release the keys when you see a gray screen with a spinning dial.
    Note: You need an always-on Ethernet or Wi-Fi connection to the Internet to use Recovery. It won’t work with USB or PPPoE modems, or with networks that require any kind of authentication other than a WPA or WPA2 Personal password.
    When the Mac OS X Utilities screen appears, follow the prompts to reinstall the Mac OS. You don't need to erase the boot volume, and you won't need your backup unless something goes wrong. If your Mac didn’t ship with Lion, you’ll need the Apple ID and password you used to upgrade, so make a note of those before you begin.
    Don't install the Thunderbolt update -- it's defective.

    Hello
    I have a macbook pro 2011 13" that came with OS Lion (integrated not on a disk). I recently bought OS Mountain Lion of the app store and it is working fine. However I was a bit dissapointed in the battery so I decided to try and downgrade and completely failed, I froze the computer and when I restarted it it did not work. I went into recovery system and erased my disk and all that and went to re-download my OS. I was expecting to get the option to re-download Lion but instead I could only re-download Mountain Lion.
    My question is since my computer originally came with Lion can I reset my computer so I get OS Lion back instead of OS Mountain Lion?
    Thanks for any help. Any answer will be appreciated even if it is saying it is not possible.

    Boot to the Recovery HD:
    Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
    Erase the hard drive:
        1.    Select Disk Utility from the main menu and click on the Continue button.
        2.    After DU loads select your startup volume (usually Macintosh HD) from the left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
        3.    Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Erase button and wait until the process has completed.
        4.    Quit DU and return to the main menu.
    Reinstall Lion: Select Reinstall Lion and click on the Install button.
    Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.
    Kappy, a pretty wonderful and very knowledgeable man, has tip for that which I have copied and pasted above

  • Macbook Pro 2011 won't turn on (RAM issue?)

    (Macbook pro 2011) I had water damage so I sent in to apple for a complete makeover and they pretty much replaced everything. The laptop seemed to be working fine but the issue is that when I put my laptop to sleep / turn off it won't turn back on. I haven't had the time to take my laptop back to the apple store due to projects / travelling. I've found that there is one quick fix, manually resetting the ram by taking the RAM chips out for a second then re-inserting them. The other way is to hold Command+Option+P+R 3 times before reboot and that'll work temporarily for a day maybe. I plan on taking it to the apple store in a day or so if the problem doesn't resolve itself. Do you guys have any suggestions?
    Thanks,

    Reinstalling OS X Without Erasing the Drive
    Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
    Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the main menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
    When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu.
    Reinstall OS X: Select Reinstall OS X and click on the Continue button.
    Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.

  • I've installed windows 7 with the help of bootcamp on my macbook pro 2011. Please help me how to install mac drivers for windows7 64 bit???

    I've installed windows 7 with the help of bootcamp on my macbook pro 2011.
    Please help me how to install mac drivers for windows7 64 bit???

    You either download drivers from within Boot Camp Assistant and save to USB FAT disk, or you insert and use 10.6.x OS X DVD when in Windows and install and run the SETUP from there.

    Step 4: Install the Boot Camp Drivers for Windows
    After installing Windows, install Mac-specific drivers and other software for Windows using your Mac OS X installation disc.  The Mac OS X disc installs drivers to support Mac components, including AirPort,built-in iSight camera, the Apple Remote, the trackpad on a portable Mac, and thefunction keys on an Apple keyboard. 
    The Mac OS X disc also installs the Boot Camp control panel for Windows and theApple Boot Camp system tray item.
    To install the Boot Camp drivers:
    1 Eject the Windows installation disc.
    2 Insert the Mac OS X disc.  If the installer doesn’t start automatically, browse the disc using Windows Explorerand double-click the setup.exe file in the Boot Camp directory.
    3 Follow the onscreen instructions.
    If a message appears that says the software you’re installing has not passed Windows  Logo testing, click Continue Anyway.
    Windows that appear only briefly during the installation don’t require your input.
    If nothing appears to be happening, there may be a hidden window that you mustrespond to. Check the taskbar and look behind open windows.
    Important: Do not click the Cancel button in any of the installer dialogs.
    4 After your computer restarts, follow the instructions in the Found New Hardware  Wizard to update your software drivers (Windows XP only).
    5 Follow the instructions for any other wizards that appear.
    6 Check for updated Boot Camp drivers by using Apple Software Update or going to www.apple.com/support/bootcamp.
      If You Have Problems Installing the Device Drivers 
    If it appears that the Boot Camp drivers weren’t successfully installed, try repairing them.
    To repair Boot Camp drivers:
    1 Start up your computer in Windows.
    2 Insert your Mac OS X installation disc.
    3 If the installer doesn’t start automatically, browse the disc using Windows Explorerand double-click the setup.exe file in the Boot Camp directory.
    4 Click Repair and follow the onscreen instructions.
    If a message appears that says the software you’re installing has not passed Windows  Logo testing, click Continue Anyway. 
    If you need to reinstall specific drivers, you can install one driver at a time. For example,if your built-in iSight camera isn’t working, you can reinstall just the iSight driver.
    Individual drivers are in the Drivers folder on the Mac OS X installation disc.

    No I didn't do anything like that, but...
    I've found a pattern/cause!
    It's every time I open the app store. Why on earth would that be?

  • Tried to update the EFI on Macbook Pro 2011 & Crashed?

    Hey all
    So this is my new Macbook Pro 2011! FIrst apple producct ever!
    I installed a bunch of updates to my mac before & they worked fine- without issue
    but i recently tried to install the Macbook Pro 2.3 Firmware Update & the thunderbolt firmware update but something went horribly wrong
    The mac was plugged into the wall and the magsafe charger was lit green- and the update downloaded & seemed to have installed- but on reboot i got a horrible single beep & the HDD went out...
    Then after that it tried to reboot on its own 3 more times b/ci heard the fan- but it was without a display [just a black screen but no picture] & but the HDD kept getting cut off...
    I held down the power button for 7 seconds & it finally booted normally after a prolonged apple logo screen
    & now it seems to be working fine...
    can you guys tell me what the heck just happened? My macbook crashed? :[ /?
    btw system prefrences says the update is installed- but system update still says its avialable?? O_O

    Hey Pennyboy24,
    I have an early 2011 Macbook Pro and I also just updated to the Macbook Pro 2.3 EFI Firmware Update.  Mine updated fine but when the MBP restarted, it also made that single long single beep and it was slow to restart.  Once it restarted, everything seemed to be normal but now my System Updates don't work.  Everytime I click on System Updates, I get an error that says it crashed.  Since your System Update says the EFI Firmware Update is still available and my System Update now crashes, I'm thinking the update messed up something with System Update.  I've just spent weeks trying to get my OS X Lion working so this really ***** to have the EFI Firmware Update cause me another problem.  Anyone with suggestions?

  • Display issue - My macbook pro 2011 detects my display but does not display an image

    Hi, I am having a problem connecting my MacBook Pro (2011) to my HP 2511x display.  I used the display all morning with my mbp connected and closed.  When I came back, after the computer went to sleep, I cannot get any image on the display.  The computer detects the display but no image appears.
    I have tried-
      Installing the latest firmware and software updates
    restarting both the computer and monitor
    trying all of the possible display arrangements and settings for resolution and refresh rates
    Also I am connected using a minidisplay to DVI adaptor in the thunderbolt port.
    Any and all suggestions appreciated.
    thanks.

    Hello Aminetti,
    It sounds like your computer goes to sleep, and will not wake up, so you must manually restart your computer. I recommend the troubleshooting in the following article:
    OS X: When your Mac doesn't sleep or wake
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS5357
    Reset SMC
    Reset NVRAM/PRAM
    Test with external devices disconnected
    Try Safe Mode
    Try another user account
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    All the best,
    Sterling

  • How do I permanently erase my entire MacBook Pro 2011?

    I am giving my Mac to somebody and don't want any recoverable traces of me to be on my computer. It's a MacBook Pro 2011 13" but it has Yosemite 10.10.1

    Before Selling or Giving Away Your Pre-Lion Mac
    Deauthorize your computer from iTunes, if applicable.
    Back up your data using Time Machine or other backup methods for OS X Mavericks or Mountain Lion.
    If you use Find My Mac or other iCloud features on this Mac, complete these steps:
    Back up your iCloud content.
    Choose Apple Menu () > System Preferences, then click iCloud.
    Deselect the Find My Mac checkbox.
    Sign out of iCloud. When you sign out of iCloud, you're asked whether you want to remove iCloud data from your Mac. Removing iCloud data in this way makes sure that the data isn't also removed from any of your other devices that are using the same iCloud account.
    If you're using OS X Mountain Lion v10.8 or later, sign out of iMessage:
    In the Messages app, choose Preferences > Accounts
    Select your iMessage account, then click Sign Out.
      5.  Follow these steps for installing the original version of OS  that came with the computer.
         1. Boot the computer using the Snow Leopard Installer Disc or the Disc 1 that came
             with your computer.  Insert the disc into the optical drive and restart the computer.
             After the chime press and hold down the  "C" key.  Release the key when you see
             a small spinning gear appear below the dark gray Apple logo.
         2. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue
             button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu.
             After Disk Utility loads select the hard drive entry from the left side list (mfgr.'s ID and
             drive size.)  Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.  Set the number of
             partitions to one (1) from the Partitions drop down menu, click on Options button
             and select GUID, click on OK, then set the format type to MacOS Extended
             (Journaled), then click on the Apply button.
         3. When the formatting has completed quit DU and return to the installer.  Proceed
             with the OS X installation and follow the directions included with the installer.
         4. If you are planning to sell or give your computer away, then do the following:
            After you reformat your hard drive and reinstall OS X, the computer restarts to a
            Welcome screen and asks you to choose a country or region. If you want to leave
            the Mac in an out-of-box state, don't continue with the setup of your system. Instead,
            press Command-Q to shut down the Mac. When the new owner turns on the Mac,
            the Setup Assistant will guide them through the setup process.
    Note: Portions of the above have been copied from What to do before selling or giving away your Mac - Apple Support.
