MBP Screen Freeze. Model A126. Family ID Z0EC. Part No. Z0EC0001A.

Hello folks! Here's the skinny:
I bought my MBP in June 2006 from apple online. I bought the: MBPRO 15/2.4GHZ/2X1G/SD/GLSY. So it is on the side of the box. The model no and family id are on the title of the thread. I am currently running Tiger 10.4.11. I have just done a full reinstall, deleting all old information.
Here are the problems:
1st: October 2007: Major battery and power issues.-Fixed at 150 USD
2nd: Now: random screen freezes. They occur when I minimize and maximize applications, use applications, use mozilla, open the finder window. Pretty much do anything. I am able to move my cursor on the screen, but clicking or closing anything is impossible and I have to do a full shutdown in order to get things running again. Sometimes I can use the MBP for a day or two and then WHAMMM! Screen Freeze. Or sometimes it is after an hour of using the trial version of Aperature 1.5.6. These problems occur after I have reinstalled Mac OS X and then did all the updates.
Please help, as I did not buy the apple extended service plan, although I'm wondering if I can buy it now. I've read that the problem lies in the video card. The video card I'm using is the Chipset Model: ATY,RadeonX1600. If that is true, can I replace it with a Nvidia one?
So, if someone has an an answer to my question I will bestow upon you 1,000 lucky days!

Good morning,
 *Welcome to the Apple Discussions Forum* 
To answer your question, no, you can not replace the video controller in your MacBook Pro. The video chip is an integrated chip on the logic board of your MacBook Pro and is not an upgradable component.
I am not entirely sold on the idea that the problem you have is your video chip either, if it was you shouldn't be able to move your cursor either, or if you could you'd have video distortion with the movement.
If possible I might recommend that you take your MBP to your [local Apple Store's Genius Bar|http://www.apple.com/retail] and let them look at it, describe your problem and see what they can suggest. If they do not keep the MBP for service, which you can always reject, then you will not be charged even out of warranty. I'd just see if they can offer some free advice as to what might be causing the trouble, they can even often perform a diagnostic on the bench while you're standing there.
Hope this helps! 
David

  • Mbp keyboard nonresponsive, screen freezes, ideas?

    My MBP keyboard and screen freezes; any ideas on a fix?

    Reset the SMC (may take 2-3 attempts) and also do a PRAM reset. Instructions are in Intel iMac SMC and PRAM resets. If that does not fix the problem then please post an EtreCheck report of your computer in your reply.

  • MBP goes freeze and rainbow screen.

    My mbp goes freeze and rainbow screen. Idk what happened because i don't feel like forcing my laptop. I only use microsoft office for my works and i always shut down my laptop whenever i'm not using it anymore.  Some tech guys from apple official resellers told me that the problem is from logicboard/vga card. Is this true? How vga card works? I've used this laptop for 8 months. Thanks any help will be appreciated,

    If this is an 8 month old machine, take it in to the Genius Bar and let them fix it. It's under warranty.

    Is the Mac set to sleep the drive after 10 minutes or so?
    What are the other symptoms with regards to your freeze? Does the screen go dark? Is the clock still running?

  • Mac Pro Screen Freezing Issue with NVIDIA 8800 GT too

    There were lots of entry in threads, where the screen freezing issue was described (disorted screen with strange lines, only reboot helps). Nearly all cases seem to be related to the ATI 2600 card.
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1358062&tstart=30
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1365277&tstart=0
    I opened this new thread to show, that this problems occurs not only for the ATI card but for the NVIDIA 8800 card, too.
    My MacPro was delivered 8 days ago and was running without any problems. But all of a sudden, I got that screen freeze. And it wasn't the first time, I was heavely working 2-3 hours with that computer.
    In total, 2 screen freezes showed on my computer. The first one during working with the computer. The second one during booting into MacOS X. The screen freeze occured during the boot phase with the grey screen and the spinning wheel.
    My configuration:
    MacPro 2.8, Dual Quad Core
    6 GB RAM
    3 harddisks, 1 standard from Apple, 2 Samsung with 750GB
    MacOS 10.5.2
    Formac 20" Monitor
    Perhaps others have this problem, too? Than we should emphasize, that this is not an ATI related problem.

    I've actually been having the freezing issue for a while now but I didn't have the know-how to troubleshoot it (PC tech trying to support the only Mac lab in the building).
    MacPro will freeze randomly (no trend in time, system strain, or open programs). The mouse will operate but will not interact with anything.
    Specs:
    MacPro - Model 1,1
    Dual Core Xeon 2.66
    2gb RAM
    nVidia GeForce 7300 GT
    Mac OS 10.4.11
    The machine always has 2 displays connected to it so the workaround that was discussed for the ATI 2600 doesn't apply. I had 1 display connected here in my shop and it froze for that as well.

  • BLACK SCREEN on start up with 3 beeps, FREEZES when power unplugged, IF IT BOOTS splash screen freezes, OVERHEATING REQUIRED TO BOOT - 0x7B, Event 41 kernel-power

    Issue: One day I unplug the power, the screen freezes and I get frozen music sound. I shut down, start up, I get 3 beeps (1 short 2 long), which indicates a Video failure according to the Thinkpad Laptop beep code list.
    How I solve the issue day-to-day: I turn the heat up - I disconnect the battery and hard drive and plug in the power then turn it on. I will wait until the underneath is searing hot with a blanket blocking the fan's flow of air, I mean way hot because any
    cooler and it won't start. Plug stuff back in, Hard drive first, Battery second, turn off with power button hold, unplug power, replug power. 
    I turn it on, no beeps, it goes past the first Lenovo screen, then gives me a prompt because it "didn't shut down properly" and continue regular startup. What happens next is the Windows logo appears,
    and just as the animated windows logo starts to move (you see 2 small colored dots on the screen), it freezes. I see this every time, I know naturally that it means that the laptop is still too hot to go past that point, so I shut it down and try again. After
    about 5 - 10 tries it will go past the splash screen and into the login area, then it's all fine. 
    Sometimes when I unplug the power from the back by accident it will freeze. By accident I mean that the connector wiggles it's self out easily. This unplug freezing thing started happening about 1 week before the 3 beep black screen problem started rolling,
    so I'm putting 2 together.

    I got a Blue Screen of Death the first time I started it up with the overheating ritual, but I never got it since. It was 0X7B.
    I got another Blue Screen of Death about a week ago, but came as it was on already and I had been using it, and said something about disabling Cache or Shadowing in BIOS. I never got it since.

    What could this be. The small round BIOS battery? The video card like everyone presumes? (I.E. the entire motherboard replacement), Software? The wiggly power input area? (Not enough power getting in?), Firmware of some sort? The BIOS software being wrong?

    I'd beg to differ on both accounts.
    *61 series nVidia-based ThinkPads from late January through July of 2008 are a 50/50 shot, since the old chips were mixed with the new ones. Any machine built in August and later can be deemed "safe".
    As for the forums (I don't do feebay) there are people who sell genuine, properly-tested planars. However, these do not come at bargain basement prices, and with a good reason if I may add.
    Good luck.

  • Power Mac G5 PPC Screen Freeze Turbo Fan Issue

    Hello...
    I've read most, if not all of the related posts; however, I have not seen any definitive answer to this issue.
    My, almost mint condition, Power Mac G5 PPC has recently started the screen freeze, turbo fan, won't boot issue that seems to be prevalent with these models.  I've tried almost all of the suggested troubleshooting fixes and have had no luck.  My most recent attempt was to try and start in single-user mode (holding SHIFT + S at startup) and I received the following error screen then turbo fans: http://www.thishateofmine.com/Assets/photos/appleCPUpower.jpg
    Remember...this is a PPC, so why am I getting an error referencing Intel CPU Power Management?  This leads me to believe the OSX 10.5.8 I've been running has installed system resources for non-existent CPU's and is causing a conflict.  This would be a major coding error on Apple's behalf, would it not?
    I never had this issue when running any previous OS version and this computer had been running spectacularly.
    It has only been used in my clean, smoke-free, home recording studio and if it werent' for a few blemishes left by external HDD's, this computer could pass as brand new.  There is very little internal dust and I have kept it clean with electronics approved compressed air.  I have not removed anything to get at the PSU area for cleaning, though.
    If I could get it to boot from the original DVD's and install up from Panther, I would.  Based on the error message I'm receiving, I do not believe this is a logic board, RAM, CPU, etc... issue.  The computer will boot into open firmware and function fine, but not the OS; therefore, this would be an OS problem, right?  Is that not a logical mental path?
    This HAS to be a known issue and have a resolve that is NOT logic board and/or CPU replacement related.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    BTW...please read this as a positive communication from a frustrated (knowledgeable enough to be dangerous) user.  I just want my G5 back. 

    After plugging in the G5 PPC, as it had been unplugged for several days, here are last night’s efforts:
    With only the original, main Hitachi Deckstar 400GB HDD in slot 1, I attempted to boot normal, boot holding SHIFT + COMMAND + V, boot holding COMMAND + S and boot to the original install DVD, all with no joy.  In my original post I incorrectly stated I was attempting to boot into single-user mode by holding SHIFT + S, which resulted in the screen displaying the OP’s linked image.  In attempting to boot into (actual) single-user mode and verbose mode, I get two different text messages – and have taken screen photos, but have not been able to upload yet – both of which stop with “DART enabled” and then do nothing else with no cursor capability, only to result in turbo fans and having to hold the power button down to shut down.
    Next I ran (again) the Apple Hardware Test from the original install DVD and everything passed. 
    Feeling confident the hardware is all in working order, I used my brother’s Macbook Pro 3.1 (OS v10.6.8) as the host to mount the G5 PPC in target disk mode.  The PPC’s HDD mounts up with no issues and everything is accessible, so I shut down and swapped the original HDD with a 500GB Western Digital Caviar SE16 that did not have an OS on it, restarted to AHT DVD and ran test again with everything passing.
    Now I reconnected the target disk mode setup, formatted the PPC’s WD HDD and installed Leopard on it while in TDM from the MBP3.1.  Everything installed, restarted will still TDM connected, MBP3.1 started up with the PPC’s HDD as the startup disk, went through all the typical initial install information and registration and voila I’m back in target disk mode with the PPC’s HDD as my boot disk and MBP3.1’s HDD on the desktop.  Everything’s accessible, functions and looks good.
    Keeping in mind I’m only dangerously knowledgeable regarding computers, I’m thinking I should be able to shut everything down and now boot the G5 PPC from the internal WD HDD I just installed the OS on, right?  Wrong.  All I get is the infamous folder with a flashing question mark.
    Help!!!  (…please???)
    BTW…as it has been mentioned in a few posts, but is one thing I have not done yet, I thought it worth mentioning.  I have not replaced the internal battery, but the last time I was able to get the computer to boot to the internal HDD and run for a short period of time, after being unplugged for several days, I did have to re-enter time, date, location, etc… info.  The actual last time I got it to boot, I did not do this, as it only got as far as loading the desktop before freezing, but the time was correct.  Didn’t get a chance to check date and location, as it froze almost instantaneously.

  • The screen freezes......love firefox but this new version stinks. Help !!!

    The screen freezes....so I have to close and reopen.
    any suggestions. Using MacAir newest model.

    I have this problem on my MAC and it also seems to affect thunderbird. I've found that by clicking and holding your mouse on the icon in the doc then clicking on the application window seems to unfreeze. I know it's a frustrating experience and I would love a better solution.

  • IPad3 screen freezing & apps not working: Settings, Reminders & Calendar

    Updated my ipad3 to ios 6 this weekend. Experiencing several issues with the screen freezing in Settings, Reminders & Calendar.
    Tried to reboot, backup and restore with iTunes, but no changes. The Calendar and Reminders are still not working.
    Any ideas on how to resolve this issue?
    A few notes:
    Not able to access the "Mail, Contacts, Calendars" in "Settings". Does not go to the screen. Freezes the "Settings" screen. Forced quit the Settings app.
    Not able to make changes in the "iCloud" in Settings. The circle spins endlessly with no results.
    Calendar is blank (only showing a blank opened book).
    Reminders is blank.
    I use iCloud to sync my calendars between a laptop, ipod touch, desktop, and ipad.

    Hi Don,
    (I have those options turned on in Sharing on both computers.)
    Turn off Printer Sharing on the Book & reboot, it won't look past itself for a printer in 10.4.x if that is enabled. But it seems there are more problems than just that.
    Thanks for the tip, I turned it off on the PB, but yeah, more problems
    Very Important, how much Free Space is on your Hard Drive first of all? Click on the Macintosh HD on the Desktop, then do a Get Info on it.
    74.4 capacity, 29.76 available, 44.64 used. I have done a Diskwarrior rebuild so hopefully it is at least arranged well. Still running 10.4.0 on it because I didn't update it after doing the 2nd Archive and Install
    My backup FW is also an 80 gig and shows:
    74.4 capacity, 36.24 available, 38.16 used. Running 10.4.11 on it. I think the main HD might have less available because I have now tried two Archive and Installs? Previous System 1 showed about 5.86 gigs of use and Previous System 2 just showed "calculating".
    Boot off your original Install Disk , then run the extended Apple Hardware Test. Some disks require you to use the Option key at bootup to select AHT. Some models have a separate AHT CD.
    I had the disk and ran the extended AHT, and it all passed.
    Here's something I have noticed, when I boot from either the PB main drive or the FW, and open Activity Monitor, the CPU shows major usage for a long time, often pegging the CPU usage meter. In the Process Window, there is something called "mdimporter" that seems to be eating a lot of processor. After 10-15 minutes (approx), the CPU settles down to just showing light usage. I don't recall ever seeing the CPU usage pegging like that upon a fresh startup, I often keep the little floating CPU window on the desktop and it never used to run like that.
    Here's the list and downloads for AHT for some G4 models if you don't find yours, some G4s only have it on the Original Install Disc...

  • Grey Screen Freeze after 10.6.7 update

    I have 2 iMacs. My wife's is 2008 3.06 Ghz 24" model with Snow Leopard. Just updated to 10.6.7, and on re-boot we entered perpetual grey screen freeze ups. Followed guidance from support article - specifically to remove peripherals (attached were 2 USB devices - HP inkjet printer and WD 500G portable HD used as Time Machine. Also connected to LAN via RJ-45) After re-boot I changed network to airport to access LAN. When I re-inserted ethernet jack the grey screen immediately came up. Tried various combinations and ethernet connect always kills machine. Any ideas? I'm holding off on 10.6.7 update for other iMac.

    Because I've had strange problems with past system update downloads, I now always get my system updates from http://support.apple.com/downloads/
    I always use the Update Combo version. It installs a fresh set of all previous updates as well as the new one. This gives you a fresh beginning with system 10.6.x. Since I adopted that practice, I've had no more issues with updates.

  • Fall 2013 Macbook Pro Retina screen freezing and crashing

    Hello,
    lately, I have been experiencing some screen freezes on my Macbook Pro Retina 15''... The screen just freezes, including the mouse pointer and then it doesn't respond to anything. I just have to restart the machine again. This happens sometimes and not every day, but still a few times a week. I just do normal things on my mac while I get this problem.
    Also, just recently almost an hour ago, my screen just turned all white and it said "Your computer restarted because of a problem. Press any key to continue or a wait a couple minutes for it to reboot." This time, I was watching a movie when it happened.
    I have also verified the disk in disk utility, but no errors.
    What may be causing this issue? Hardware? Software? I also have applecare, but I'm eager to find out what's the problem before I hand it to the apple store.
    Thank you very much!
