MBP 15in Mid-2012 crashes often, graphics error and kernel panics

My MBP used to crash almost whenever you pick it up—that was remedied by removing a stick of my RAM from 8GB to 4GB. That was a few months ago, and it seems to be coming back for some reason, not because I pick it up or move it, but it would just freeze up randomly and restart.
I have this piece of information from the most recent crash. Can someone help me decipher it?

I have taken this to the Genius Bar many times and i've been told many different diagnoses, such as replacing the entire Logic Board to just removing a stick of RAM, which seems to have fixed the crashing temporarily. Can someone tell me what exactly might be wrong and what I should do to get this fixed the next time I bring it to support?

Thank you for your quick reply. Also, my computer crashes sometimes due to a "graphics problem". Anything I can provide from the Console for that?
Here you are:

  • Programs Quitting (without errors) and kernel panics!

    I think my iBook is dying! I recently switched over to a G4 iBook, 1.42Ghz with 1.5GB RAM. I am running 10.4.9 and keep it consistently updated.
    Starting two nights ago, Safari, Mail, and Roxio's Toast have all quit instantly, out of the blue, with no error message popping up. At some points, I click on the icon in the dock, it bounces, then it stops and never opens. Sometimes it opens for .5 seconds and then closes again. Sometimes it opens just fine!
    On top of that, I had a kernel panic this afternoon as well. I am afraid of this being on its last legs!!! Any help? Here is the kernel panic info:

    HELP! I would love to go buy a MacBook now, but I can't afford it quite yet.

    Thanks John!
    I am having the original install discs sent my way - I am a current college student so I did not have them with me! (Go figure!)
    I will definitely attempt this.
    I have now, however, found one more thing that is wrong. My audio is not working! When I go to change the volume, the speaker icon comes up, does nt change the level and also now has a new circle with a line through, indicating there is no audio? I checked the Audio settings in System Prefs and it is showing there as being no Audio Output. Again...HELP!
    Thank you again, John, for being kind and helpful!

  • Macbook Pro 15in mid 2012 Non-Retina Freeze

    Macbook Pro 15in mid 2012 Non-Retina Freezes randomly. OSX 10.7.4. Do not have Google Chrome installed. I have to press the power button to restart. Any idea how to fix this?
    When ever the computer restarts it looks like this:
    http://i45.tinypic.com/2mrin7t.png

    I would like to share my experience with the random freezing on my brand new Retina MacBook Pro.
    This may apply to non-Retina and MacBook Airs, too.
    My rMBP had randome freezes; seemingly starting from Safari, then spreading to the whole system, refusing to launch programs, etc., forcing me to restart every 1-2 hours. There was just no other way to come out of this coma other than forced rebooting.
    Tried all the usual recommended remedies, but nothing worked. It's been about 2 weeks like this.
    Then I remembered from my past experiences that with every new hardware there seemed to be issues with graphics card/driver. I did the following and so far I havent' had a crash for 24 hours and counting.
    1. Turn OFF "automatic graphicss switching". You can do this in System Preference>Energy Saver. It's the top tick box. Untick for both AC Power and Battery Power.
    2. Turn OFF "automatically adjust brightness". System Preference>Displays.
    Can't tell if it's the combination of the two or one effecting the other, but seems to work!
    I have a feeling it's the "automatically adjust brightness" could be the culprit.

  • Need HELP, what is going on with my MBP 13' Mid 2012.. Please..

    My MBP 13" mid 2012 running on OS X Yosemite 10.10.1 (14B25)
    Processor = 2.5 GHz Intel Core i5
    Memory = 4 GB 1600 MHz DDR3
    Graphics = Intel HD Graphics 4000 1024 MB
    It can't turn on. But Magsafe has no problem, battery looks fine too,
    It only turned on if i haven't use it over a few days or a week... after that, i try to turn it off or just get it on sleep mode then it won't turn on again over few days/week..
    Does anyone had a same problem or solution for this problem?

    Hi rizal.umaternate,
    I would start with resetting the SMC to see if it will start to power on again. If not then you will probably need to contact Apple for further support. Take a look at the article below to start you on troubleshooting your issue.

  • HT201177 How to connect my MBP 13" (Mid-2012) to a projector/LED TV using a mini-display port VGA adapter (CAPDASE)

    Hello Sirs, I'm having a hard time connecting my MBP 13" (mid-2012) to my projector using my mini-display-VGA out adapter. But when I switch to Windows 7 (via bootcamp), it can easily be connected... Please help me with this problem. Thanks

    Try connecting the Minidvi to the VGA and connect it all together, first try turning ing on the MBP, then connecting dvi to the the projector. Make sure your projector input is set for VGA. If noo joy invert the affored mentioned proceedure. You should see your image if not, try going to system preferences>displays, click display.   Try readjusting the resolutions in display. reboot monitor.

  • MBP 13" Mid-2012 (Non-Retina) - Display Washed Out

    Just received my new MBP 13” Mid-2012 (Non-Retina). Comparing this to the 1280x800 display on my 2010 White MacBook, it looks washed out at full brightness, the colours are not deep and rich as they was on my old MacBook. Has anyone else experienced this? My next step is to use the calibration tool built into OS X to see if that helps.

    If I were you, I would take the machine into your local Apple Store and compare it with similar models on display. My late 2011 15" has a bright, vibrant screen and so should your new 13".
    If you see that your display is simply not up to par, exchange your computer for another - you have 14 days from date of purchase to exchange or return for a full refund.
    Good luck,
    Clinton

  • MBP 13" Mid-2012 stuck on apple logo after installing Maverick

    I own a MBP 13" Mid-2012 with Mountain Lion installed on it. When I upgrade to Maverick via Apple Store/Internet Recovery/USB it gets stuck on Apple Logo with a grey spinning wheel below. I tried disk repair with disk utility, and resetting PRAM but still nothing happens. When I reinstall Mountain Lion it works again. And no, unfortunately I don't have a back up. What to do? Please don't tell me to bring it to an Apple Store because all they have to say is that my logic board needs to be replaced which I couldn't afford. Help!

    Sooner or later, your logic board is going to fail completely. You need to start a backup, preferably more than one

  • Bluetooth issues on MBP 15 Mid 2012 with SSD OCZ Vertex 4

    Hello,
    I work on MBP 15 Mid 2012 with SSD OCZ Vertex 4 and I have problem with my bluetooth (mouse sometimes is very slow, laggy, the same problem with keyboard, keys are working with a delay) Unfortunately  it happens only with SSD drive and when I have plugged oryginally, apple’s drive everythink it’s ok. Software, firmware are the latest, I tried each reseting (PRAM etc...) and nothing helped. Do you have any ideas?

    Same combination and same issue.  I see a thread about this here:
    https://discussions.apple.com/message/21659917#21659917
    My guess is that the SSD is causing interference with the bluetooth somehow.

  • Can I use RAM from MBP 15 late 2011 to MBP 13 mid 2012

    Hi All,
    I presently have an MBP 15 late 2011 (running at 4GB RAM) - which I feel is very slow. Had been reading a lot of discussion threads and most viable solution seems to be to upgrade my RAM - found it in Crucial.com (8gb x 2 kit).
    I have another MBP 13 mid 2012 (running at 2GB RAM). I was wondering if I can transfer my 4GB RAM from my MBP 15 to my MBP 13.
    Will there be any compatibility issues? Will this work?
    Can anyone advise please?
    Thanks.

  • My MBP 13" Mid 2012 wont start up anymore after Yosemite update

    My MBP 13" Mid 2012 wont start up anymore after updating to Yosemite. I tried various fixes but i think this escalated to an HDD problem. Startup disk wont show up both in DiskUtility and re-install OSx via Internet Recovery. Though I kind of doubt that an update can actually harm your HDD or RAM, is it even possible that Yosemite Effed up my unit? Should apple be responsible for the fix?
    Thanks!

    Hello djChrisFox,
    Based on the information you have provided, it appears your MacBook Pro needs to be serviced. The following link should help you get started with the process and has links with additional information on topics such as warranty and service pricing, battery replacement, and express replacement service.

  • Apple Hardware Test freeze on MBP 15 mid 2012

    I changed the ram on my new mbp 15 mid 2012 from 4gb to 16gb. Now AHT  freeze on Testing Memory with both type of ram, why? It's not my first time when I change ram, I'm on my 4th MBP. Any ideas? tks

    Hi,
    there is a known problem (I know it for sure from a friend that works at a apple service) with non retina mid 2012 macbook pros not responding in AHT test, most likely your RAM is fine. Just do MemTest and see if anything's wrong with it.
    FYI
    Reported this problem in bug reporter some time ago, the answer:
    Engineering has determined that there are no plans to address this issue.
    Clearley they know about it and don't want to solve it, to bad.

  • Hello, I am trying to reinstall os x lion in my macbook pro mid 2012, from my recovery disc, and its imposible because every time I have problems to download de installer or something that is required to do that. what can I do?

    hello, I am trying to reinstall os x lion in my macbook pro mid 2012, from my recovery disc, and its imposible because every time I have problems to download de installer or something that is required to do that. what can I do?

    When you do get it downloaded, before you do anything else, save the Lion installer - make a copy and put it somewhere safe. you can then reuse, make a clean install and other things.

    Yes I strongly recommend making a clone you can boot from in addition to use TimeMachine.

  • Hard Feezing and Kernel Panics - Early 11 MBP

    Hey just wondering if anyone has any insight into this...
    I've been experiencing hard freezing and kernel panics on my Early 11 Macbook Pro for several months.  The hard freezing only happens when I wake up my system from sleep.  I'll open the lid and when it happens, within seconds, everything locks up.  No spinning wheel, just frozen machine and I have to do a hard reboot.  I also get random kernel panics as well.
    I took it in the the Genius Bar a few weeks ago, they ran tests and said the hardware was all fine and that I should reinstall Lion after a clean format.  Well I did that and still having issues.  Not sure if it's being caused by a 3rd party app...or if I really do have bad hardware after all.
    When they did a diagnostic they said that 'soundflower' was showing up in my kernel panic log and that I should find what that is and delete it, so I did.  In my most recent and only kernel panic, shown below, I don't see any 3rd party language anywhere.
    Anyone have an idea of what might be causing this?

  • Known issues with CUDA 5.0.17 driver (including crashes and kernel panics) on Mac OSX

    We have recently learned of some issues with the new CUDA drivers from Nvidia that cause crashes and kernel panics in some circumstances, including when switching between applications that use the GPU.
    See this page for details.

    Whenever you remove system modifications, they must be removed completely, and the only way to do that is to use the uninstallation tool, if any, provided by the third-party developers, or to follow their instructions. If the software has been incompletely removed, you may have to re-download or even reinstall it in order to finish the job.
    Here are some general guidelines. Suppose you want to remove something called “BrickYourMac.” First, consult the product's Help menu, if there is one, for instructions. Finding none there, look on the developer's website, say www.brickyourmac.com. (That may not be the actual name of the site; if necessary, search the Web for the product name.) If you don’t find anything on the website or in your search, email the developer. While you're waiting for a response, download BrickYourMac.dmg and open it. There may be an application in there such as “Uninstall BrickYourMac.” If not, open “BrickYourMac.pkg” and look for an Uninstall button.
    If you can’t remove software in any other way, you’ll have to erase your boot volume and perform a clean reinstallation of OS X. Never install any third-party software unless you're sure you know how to uninstall it; otherwise you may create problems that are very hard to solve.
    Trying to remove complex system modifications by hunting for files by name often will not work and may make the problem worse. The same goes for "utilities" that purport to remove software.

Maybe you are looking for
