MBpro 15" Crashing during games/movies/etc.

Hey, been experiencing crashes while playing games and watching a few movies on my MBpro 15" Mid-2010 i5 Gt330m.
It will just lock up all of a sudden and then play a continuous sound loop with a black screen. I then have to force shut it down, hold the power key down the first time-nothing....then try a second time to hold it down to shut it off and then it goes off.
Tried the update recommended by TS4088 and its still doing it. I have 10+ panic reports in the last few weeks. Can't play SC2 for more than 5-10 minutes.
Took it to the Apple Store today and they ran a check and of course everything comes up fine. I can get it to crash every time by playing sc2 about 5 minutes in, always on minimum settings. What gives?
Does this look like a hardware issue???
Shows up nealy the same type of issue every single time upon reboot

It does look like a hardware fault, despite what you were told, but there a couple of things you can try.
First, back up all data. Then uninstall the Cisco VPN client, which is notorious for causing instability. Use the built-in Cisco client, if possible. Test that configuration.
If there's no improvement, try running the 64-bit kernel:
Mac OS X v10.6: Starting up with the 32-bit or 64-bit kernel

K7n2 Delta2 platinum crashes during games / video

after having problems with the 2nd Dimm slot on my Gigabyte board i gave that away and bought an MSI socketA board as per the subject line of the post, and transplanted all the hardware onto the MSi board.
rebuilt it to the folliowing spec.

booted, and built fine, puzzeled about 2.7Volts for memory, but i guess 3Gb sucks a bit of juice.
crashed during games like doom3, farcry, trackmania sunrise etc. even just playng video! pushing up the memory voltage to 2.8v from 2.6v seemed to help... it would just run a little longer before crashing. everything is stock speed and voltage except the ram. tried all kinds of combinations of dimms in slots, tried upping the CPU Vcore. all chipset and GFX drivers are the lastest versions (5.10 for the mainboard, and whatever the current one is for the GFX card).
totally stumped. what is going on? and if anyone says i should have checked the ram compatability chart, i shouldn't HAVE to check to see if my ram is compatable. it should just work. and i am definatly NOT ditching £330 worth of ram over a £50 mainboard. the dimms are all from the same batch, same manufacturer, etc etc, and no trouble all with my old gigabyte board.
also checked the hardware, pulled cards, swapped gfx boards - my GF6800GT, spare GF5900U, old GF5200, and my old faithfull PCI GF2MX400. same problem.
now heres the kicker. got home from work for another evenings troubleshooting, (windows and games would blue screen saying i should check the drivers, or the hardware, gfx card) and found that the PSU had died. really annoyed now. when i go buy a new PSU, any suggestions? or shall i take this MSI board outside and shoot it?
come back gigabyte, all is forgiven.

If those figures are right, I can't see the PSU as the reason for your problems.
About the temps, though I haven't got that experience myself, some temperature monitors read very high levels, while BIOS tells it as all is idle, and very idle. I mean, it could be the messenger.
Yep, I searched the Internet, quote 1 below. Thermaltake?! Maybe they have changed the specs? It is twice as expensive but moves half the air as to the Spire Whisperrock I've got (quote 2). I would if I were you, really go for an 80 mm HSF anyway.

I am receiving a new ipad (3 i guess) from my mom who is in the U.S but i am currently in the philippines. I ofcourse, want to have apps,games,movies etc. can i use an itunes giftcard (also from the U.S) to buy my apps without any problems?

No.

If i create a new itunes account can i transfer my songs, games, movies, etc. to my new account

If I create a new account can I transfer all of my songs, games, movies etc. to the new one?

I know this is an old post, but I'm in a similar situation. I'm going to college this fall and I would like to have my own account going into my future. I'm under my mom's account because that is how I first started out with my ipod a few years ago. I don't want to be under my mom's account forever so this is a reason I want a new account while still keeping all the songs I've bought over the years.

Booklet crashing during fullscreen movie playback

My Nokia 3G Booklet crashes during fullscreen movie playback, usually after 30 minutes. I'm using the booklet to play to a LCD screen @ 1024 x 768 via the HDMI output. The movies aren't even HD, just 600-700MB Avi files. I'm using Windows Media Player version 12.0.7600.16415. Anybody else have this problem? The Booklet gets pretty hot playing movies too.

About the temperature you should not worry to much, I would suggest you just to try another player, such as GOM Player, and to see if you have same issue, also If you could submit some logs with the latest Error Logs from your system, so that we can check if there is a Kernel Power issue or it might be related to overheating of your CPU. I had seen full movies over HDMI and no issue with it. I guess might be some software issue.

Flash crashed during watching movies in YT, sound doesn't always work.

I have many the few problems with flash and sound in my Arch Linux.
Firstly, when I want to play a movie in YouTube, flash often gets crashed. Movies stop loading, and they stop playing at the most often in 7th second or 12th second. Additionally, the sound falters itself. When I want to do something in web browser, it stops working. I must restart it, but flash still doesn't work. I noticed, after flash's crash, I cannot work for example in kdenlive. It gets crashed too. That problem often exists during watching movies in YT.
Secondly, I don't always have sound in games. For example, I cannot hear anything in Wolfenstein Enemy Territory, but e.g. in SuperTuxKart I hear everything. I don't have any idea, why sound works in some apps and doesn't work in the other apps.
I downgraded flash, because I thought, it could help, but unfortnately, it still has the problems. I use Firefox, but earlier I used Chromium and that problem was too.
Edit: I have just noticed, when after flash's crashing I want to listen to music and then I want to stop it, it falters like sound in YT movies.

Is wolfenstein a wine game? If so There are a bunch of optional dependencies for wine. You can see them if you do "pacman -Qi wine" (same for any installed program in Arch unless installed without pacman/PKGBUILD). Some that I have installed are:
lib32-alsa-lib
lib32-libpulse
If the game is a 32 bit windows game running through wine you may need some of these. If that doesn't work you can run it through the pulseaudio wrapper like this: "padsp wine /path/to/game.exe" Where /path/to/game.exe is the path to your wolfenstein executable. You can also check your sound settings with a program called "winecfg" (the defaults work fine for me though). To verify that your game is using pulseaudio there is a program called "pavucontrol" that will tell you all of the programs currently using sound through pulseaudio. Hope that helps.
Edit: Also found this which may be of interest I don't know: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/et-sdl-sound/

Qosmio X300-14C - Crash during games due to overheating of the GPU

Hi everybody. I recently by a Qosmio X300-14C (core 2 Quad Q9000,? 9700 GTS), and during games, the temperature of the GPU increase till 100 C and the game crash.
So I buy a USB cooler for my X300. Now, the temperature increase ?only? till 96 97C. And there is no crash.
I try to put the last bios, the last Toshiba GPU driver, the last nvidia GPU driver, the same.
When I start Vista, without any application, the temp increase till 65C. The fan increase his speed, so the temp goes to 55. The fan stop running faster, and the temp start to increase again.
During games, the fan made the same noise when the temp is 65C or 95C. So I think the problem is here. There is no increase of the fan speed for very high temp. So only 2 speed: under 65C and over, that?s all.
I install ntune, but the speed of the fan dont move at all. For the GPU I have 20.000 RPM per minute! Is that right?
Some people have the same probleme?
Thanks!
Esteban.

I have the same problem with my Qosmio X300 (PQX32E-04H02WGR). Anytime I'm playing games there is a blackscreen and a tuneloop.
I wrote a email to the toshiba-service in germany and they told me to make a new installation of windows, to install the new bios 2.1 and the new beta driver from nvidia. Even this all did not solve the problem.
So I ring up the german hotline and they told me that there is nothing more to do and that they don't know that problem. They sayed I could try playing the games in a reduced resolution and perhaps this could solve the problem!!!??? Yes... I buy a very expensive gamer-notebook to play with it in a reduced resolution - nice idear.
After I told them that I think it could be an overheating-problem they want to get the notebook to find it out on my own risk (I have to pay a service-charge if it is no overheating problem).
We will see...

5.0.1 crashing during games

When I try to launch game apps on my iPad first generation in order to continue play I otherwise do on my desktop, the apps are crashing long before any gaming gets underway. Sometimes it almost makes it, other times it crashed after the initial step or anywhere in between. I've followed the developer's advice but no dice (no pun intended). My operating system on the iPad is 5.1.1. I just bought it used which is why it's so old. Please note, I successfully played these games (Candy Crush, Bubble Witch, Farm something or other Saga) for a couple of months before this crashing behavior began and I cannot think of anything I could have done. No new installs, etc. Thanks.

Hi, the same thing happened to my iPod touch 1G. The apps are fully capable of working, but your iPad isn't powerful enough to run them. There is no fix at the moment, you should try freeing up some space on your iPad.

Library Consolidating Crashes during large move

I have 200gb of music on iTunes. When I attempt to move files to a new iTunes Media folder on an external drive by using the advanced preferences to point to the new location and then using the Organize Library > Consolidate Files feature, iTunes crashes, always about 149gb into the move.
In my current iTunes set up, at least 20gb of files are not stored in the main iTunes Music folder.
I have tried just copying the folders over manually which causes the files not in the main folder to go missing. When I do a "locate file" I can successfully point to the right mp3, but when it tries to automatically find other missing files in the same folder it fails to do so, even though I know they're there.
I have tried consolidating without copying to another drive and get the same results.
I have repaired permissions, safe booted and zapped pram.
Thoughts? Ideas? Magic?
Thanks

You've probably got a file that is either bad, or, iTunes does not like for some reason. The trick is to figure out which file this is, then either replace it, or figure out what iTunes does not like about it (sometimes simply removing the song from iTunes, then adding it back will fix things).
So here is what I'd do. I assume you have all the music its original places still, and hopefully have a backup of everything. I'd erase the external disk, and start the consolidation over again. When it crashes, look at the last file written (I think it consolidates alphabetically by artist name). Then look at that file, and, at the one that would have been written next - likely one of them is the problem song.
Or you could divide and concur. Select half your library, right click (or control click) and choose consolidate files from the drop down menu. If it works with out crashing, select half the remaining songs, and so on until you get a crash. Then you know what group of songs is the problem - divide and concur again until you isolate the problem song. This might actually be the best way to procede if you already have a bunch done, and can not start over. If you consolidate songs that are already in the right place iTunes will not do anything, so there is no harm.
Good luck.

Flash crashing during game play

Using internet 9, latest flash and shockwave, Windows 7 Ultimate 32bit
Medion laptop, 4gb mem, 1TB HD

I don't have a solution available for you yet. Your alternatives are to use a different browser or revert Flash Player back to a previous version (my suggestion would be the most recent version of 10.3).
How do I revert to a previous version of Flash Player?

Firefox slow loading games, crashing during game

Crashed 3x while playing Farkle on FB 5/22, now 5/23, second time. As it takes me forever to load the game I am totally angry about this happening.

Hello Edie.
Make sure all your plugins are up to date (Tools > Add-ons > Plugins > Find Updates). If they are and it still doesn't work right, disable all extensions (just to check) and see if works then. If it does, enable them one at a time to find which one is giving you trouble. Contact its author for support, and keep it disabled.
I hope this helps.

AOL problems and crashes during games

Folks:
Most every time I download software updates, I cannot access AOL. It happened again yesterday. I tried trashing the preferences, but that hasn't worked.
Also, certain games we play crash suddenly and for no reason. We don't have this problem with other programs, just games. We're able to relaunch the game and play again, for the most part. Could that be a RAM problem and if so, why since we have a gig of RAM and these games don't call for that much?
Thanks for any and all help.

Hi Again Theresa!
I also had some updates, that needed to be installed on my MacBook, so I installed them this afternoon, to see if I could replicate your experience.
Sure enough, AOL hung on Initializing!
So after quitting, and force quitting AOL, I moved the files and folders listed below, to the Trash.
I then restarted the MacBook, ran Repair Permissions for good measure, and loaded AOL.
It took longer than usual, but it did finish starting!
In HD > Users > Home Account > Library > Preferences:
AOL a folder
com.aol.aol.plist a file
In HD > Users > Shared > America Online:
Access Numbers a file
Art Database a file
Bart Cache a folder
Buddy Icon Cache a folder
Disconnect Log a file
Your Feedbag a file
Session Diagnostics a file
If this procedure works for you, don't forget to reset the AOL Preferences.

IMac late 2012 crashes during games

I bought a brand new 21.5" iMac with a 2.7 GHz i5 and 16 GB RAM. Everything works great except when playing games (World of Warcraft & Diablo III) it just crashes after a few minutes, anywhere between 5 minutes and 20 minutes. In WoW, the screen begins to flicker black before the game freezes.
I am unable to even force quit the games or do anything besides turn off and turn on my computer. I've had no other problems with the computer so I'm assuming something is wrong with the graphics card, but I guess it could be anything. I set up the computer through migration assistant to grab everything from my old iMac. Could it be an issue with the migration? Should I reinstall Mountain Lion? I don't know.
Any ideas? Thank you!

GTX570 crashes during games/3D - tried everything

Hi,
I got a fresh computer :
Cooler Master CM690II Advanced
MSI P67A-C45
Core I5 2500K
Noctua NH-U12P
2x2 PC1600 GSKILL
MSI GTX570 1go
ANTEC HCG-620W
Win7 64bits
And since 1 week it worked perfectly. But today, it has suddenly got an error while playing SC2 and I could not launch and play a game or an application which involves 3D...
I can run the bench of Afterburner for hours and can't run SC2 or League Of Legends without any freeze (the game still continues as I can hear the sound).
I put Afterburner CC on 732 / Shader Clock 1464 / Memory Clock 1900.
When I attempted the windows bench, it freezes and the screen became black. When I put the speed fan% at 85, the windows bench worked perfectly. I tried on SC2/LOL but even with a speed fan% set at 85, it freezes before the black screen.
So, I have read to update the drivers, to rollback to another version, to try directX11/directX10 etc. It does not work !
Do you have any solution please ? Is it an hardware problem which requires to get the card back to the seller ?
Thanks in advance for your help.
Best Regards,
Ace

Hi Svet,
Thanks for your quick answer. I did :
Drivers removal with Driver Sweeper in Win7 Safe Mode;
Install lastest driver 275.50 (beta) from Nvidia;
Re-install DirectX11;
===> The windows bench was passed perfectly 7.5 (7.5/7.9/7.9/7.6 SSD FTW) ! There is a hope, I am going to try LOL (when the queue will be passed -1hour? :D) and SC2. Gonna give a feedback asap.
Thanks,
Ace
