MBP Screen Distortion/Flicker Goes into Grey Screen Loop

Hello All!
Model: MBP 3.1,
SMC Version: 1.16f11
Device ID for 8600M GT: 0x0407
Revision ID for 8600M GT: 0x00a1
Basically, started seeing this problem when I upgraded into 10.5.8. At first, it would freeze on my screen saver so I would just restart it. Then one day, it froze on the screen saver again so I restarted and I got the grey screen in which it tells you to restarts. Thus, I logically thought it was the hard drive so I inserted the install disk and verified and repaired the hard-disk and it was found to contain no errors. So then I used it for another day and then my screen started to flicker and like display distortions of pixels with some pinkish hue. At this point I couldn't really do much, I could move the mouse around but not really do anything else, my only option from there was to restart into which I was greeted by the grey screen again that tells you to restart. Thus, I decided to reformat to correct the problem. I have reformatted a fresh copy of leopard and am running 10.5.8. I have also ran the hardware diagnostics test by inserting my original Tiger disks and the results came out clean, in which no hardware errors were found.
Basically, at this point I am confused I have read the Article: TS2377 in which it explains that the 8600M GT might be a cause of this problem, but the hardware diagnostics that I ran from the disks displayed no error. So I am afraid that once I take it to the "genius" they will feed me some sort of "crap" and try to trick me into paying for something that seems clearly is caused from the nvidia graphics card. I really do not know what else can be causing the problem.
I have also added some pictures of the distortions and pixels that I seen and the error report that I have received.
Thanks, any help would be much appreciated it.

I can't really read your panic log, but my guess would be the NVIDIA graphics chip. Do you get the same thing on an external display? If so, that would indicate a graphics chip problem and not an internal display problem.
Apple has a specific hardware test for the NVIDIA chip problem, and to get the problem fixed, you will have to go to them and have them run it. It is a different test than the Apple Hardware Test that we have, which may or may not indicate a problem. From what I have read in other threads, the NVIDIA problem may or may not be detected by the AHT. I've even heard of the AHT giving an error code and not the official test, which makes me wonder just what these test are designed to detect.
Take along your photos and have them read the panic log. If a genius can't get the error on the official test, ask to speak to the store manager. Be polite, but persistent. There could be something else going on as well as the graphics problem, but Apple likes to have happy customers, so I think in view of the fact that graphics problems with this chip is a well-known issue, they should in the end be willing to fix the problem at no cost to you.
Good luck!

  • Firefox goes into an endless loop with blue circular cursor at various times when trying to load a file.

    Firefox hangs up at times when I try to download a file. The hangup is evidenced by the Windows 7 spinning blue cursor going into an endless loop. The only way out if it is with "ctrl/alt/del". Sometimes I can cancel, and Firefox will be normal again, and other times I have to go on into "Taskmaster" and stop the process.

    Similar problem. An Email includes a URL, clicking on brings up a message including "click here" to link to an additional site.
    This bring up either the Windows7 rotating cursor and/or the message "stopped".
    I copied the "click here" address (another URL) and pasted it into the IE8 browser, which succeeded in displaying the information. It worked, to my surprise but it is clumsy. Do I have to remove Firefox (3.6.6) and use only IE8?
    Another system on my home network, using XP Home SP2, and FF 3.6.4 works fine in the same circumstances

    this is a sample page -- i'm using jdk 1.4 trying to run javadoc Tracer.class or javadoc Tracer.java or javadoc Tracer gives throws the console into an infinite loop with the statement being printed over and over again. But i haven't just noticed this problem with javadoc -- i noticed this problem with certain types of mistakes in the code rather than just displaying the compiler error -- it creates this infinite loop in the dos console window. any thoughts ?

  • I am trying to update my iphone software from 4.2.5 through my Mac but am not successful.  It just goes into a continuous loop saying that there is an update available and to install and restart but the update never happens.

  • OVM3 Guest PXE Boot goes into infinite install loop

    Hello Avi,
    When I create a PVM guest, using OVM Manager 3.0.3, within the network path I pass something similar to the following:
    --args="ksdevice=eth0 network ks=http://<your_KS_server>/<path>/ks.cfg" http://<my_iso_server>/mounted_isos/OL5/
    This works just fine, the VM pops up it finds the ks.cfg and does the install. However, on the reboot it goes right back to this PXE install and continues to do this in an infinite loop. I tried changing the bootloader from /usr/bin/xenpvboot to /usr/bin/pygrub, but if I do that it just gives Error: Boot Loader didn't return any data!. I also tried removing the bootargs and leaving it as bootargs='' and that also didn't work, same error.
    Obviously the continuous rebooting into PXE and reinstalling is a bug, but how can I fix the vm.cfg file manually?
    Thanks,
    Roger

    NOTE: This is for a PVM Guest.
    ok, I solved my own problem but it's ugly.
    Due to the infinite rebooting into the pxe installer, once the installer is done, I had to make sure on the reboot I turned it off before it goes back to the PXE. Once done I had to make modifications to the current vm.cfg. These are the parameters that you must modify:
    bootloader = '/usr/bin/xenpvboot'
    boot = 'n'
    bootargs = ''--args="ksdevice=eth0 network ks=http://<your_KS_server>/<path>/ks.cfg" http://<my_iso_server>/mounted_isos/OL5/
    Comment out the above and modify the bootloader line on the vm.cfg as follows:
    bootloader = '/usr/bin/pygrub'
    Side NOTE: Make sure your ks.cfg file installs kernel-xen and subtract kernel (-kernel) within your ks.cfg. Otherwise by default it will try and boot into the non xen kernel for a PVM and you get an invalid kernel error similar to this Error: (2, 'Invalid kernel', 'xc_dom_parse_elf_kernel: ELF image has no shstrtab\n')
    Hope that helps someone out,
    Roger

  • RECTIFY_GEOMETRY goes into an infinite loop

    I have a situation where running RECTIFY_GEOMETRY on certain geometries causes the process to go into what seems an infinite loop and results in me needing to kill the session to stop it. There is obviously something about the geometry which is incorrect. Has anyone seen this before and knwo what causes RECTIFY_GEOMETRY to hang.

    Prior to 10.2.0.4, there was a bug with rectify which causes
    this problem if the geometry cannot be rectified.

  • Updates will not download anymore even though the computer meets all the requirements and it goes into and endless loop of connecting to the server, why?

    Firefox used to update automatically as it's set-up to do. Now it shows an update for security and asks to download it. Then it won't download it. The box shows a bar that continually shows that it's in motion and the message says that it's trying to connect to the server but it never does. I checked the system requirements for the download and it has the requirements. Your help information doesn't give an answer for this problem. I would need to talk to someone who can help. Is that at all possible? Thanks, chezo7

    You '''can not''' download version 8.0.x, the latest for your PPC MAC is the 3.6.24 version.
    Firefox 4 versions and later do not run on a PowerPC Mac. Firefox 4 and later require at least OS X 10.5 and an Intel Mac.

    3.6.24 version you can download from here:

  • I recently installed 7.0.1 and it now goes into a CPU loop frequently. How do we resolve this?

    What is the previous release that does NOT have this bug?? I need to back this out until it is fixed..?? Or if you have a better fix, please let me know as this is negatively impacting my work.
    Thanks,
    Phil

    OK, I tried making the changes mentioned. Here's what I got...
    Before my system went to 98%+ busy. Now it's around 50% -- which still isn't good. Metering the process helps, but the problem is still there. Any more ideas??
    P.S.
    I am in the process of writing a newsletter to 1000's of people on this subject. So it would be great if I could give them a fix instead of a 'back out' message..!?

  • htmlb:fileupload goes into infinite loop

    Hello all,
    We use the tag <htmlb:fileupload> in our bsp page. Now if the user enters a file name directly, ie:without using the browse button the user simply enters a filename, say 'Resume.doc' in the input field and hits the save button on the page, then the system is going into an infinite loop and the system hangs, the users cannot proceed further and they need to restart the browser all over again(it is not necessary that the file must exist in the system, the user just types in a file name and performs the save action). This is a cause of concern for some of our customers, they expect that we should provide a meaningful message to the user and the processing should end. Is this a known issue in BSPs ?? Can anyone suggest me how to get rid of this problem ?
    Thanks and Best Regards,
    Viqar Ali.

    Everything works fine if the user selects a file using the browse button to select a file. Instead if the user enters a file name directly, then the system runs into an infinite loop. I have put a breakpoint in DO_HANDLE_DATA & DO_REQUEST of the controller class. However the control doesnt come till this point also and i cannot even debug anything. The breakpoints are hit if the user selects the file using the browse button. If anyone has a similar scenario working correctly in their application pls update me with the code.
    Thanks and Best Regards,

  • JspServiceManager goes into endless loop...

    All I want to do is to create a web app which is not a portal, but
    uses a JspServiceManager. I tried different values for workingDir,
    repository and timeout, but the JspServiceManager always goes into
    an infinite loop. Has anyone run into this problem?

    This is one of the release notes. You can't register a name, and have
    that same name in as part of the path. This will cause the infinite
    loop as you observed. Either rename the registered name, or rename the
    directory, and you should be fine.

  • When I start iPhoto it goes into a loop ?

    iPhoto disappeared suddenly !  I then re-installed it.  When I click on iPhoto it goes into an eternal loop.  I also founf out that iPhoto Library suddenly conatins 32000 photos with a size of 26.9 Gb ?

    First thing to try is a reboot of your iPad. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously ignoring the red slider until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the iPad restart. See if that fixes your problem.

  • How to Stop Message Driven Beans to go into an infinite loop

    hi,
    Am kiran peddireddy, have the following problem. When i sent a chunk of 50 messages to the MessageDrivenBean, let us say 25 have passed and at the 26th message there was a problem and could not deliver. so, it throws an exception due this the MDB goes into an infinite loop. Can anyone suggest how to stop the MDB from infinite loop. I need help for this ASAP.
    thanks,
    Kiran Peddireddy.

    To Crackers,
    You have to let the container deal with the message - expire/cancel the message after a certain number of tries. This is easy to manage in the WLS console. Which version of Weblogic has this option? 7.0 or 8.1 ?
    I didnt see this option in Weblogic 7.0!!!!!!
    Corect me if I am wrong.
