Nvidia 8600M GT PCI-E problem on GX600 notebook.

Hello,
I've got MSI GX600 notebook with Nvidia 8600M GT video card.
The problem is, that the notebook has a low performance in 3D.
It's caused by that 8600M GT video card, because the GPU-Z shows, that the card runs only in PCI-E 1x mode, but it is in the x16 PCI-E "slot".
I tried everything. Reinstall of OS (Windows 7 64, Windows XP, Windows 7 32), new drivers, old drivers, nvidia drivers, msi drivers,alternate drivers(OMEGA),
flashing of motherboard bios, cleaning the ventilations and heatsink, but the problem is still here. Are there any advices or ideas, how to solve it?
The notebook is 3 years old, so the warranty is gone and i don't want to buy new PC.
A Lot of thanks, S.Martin.

Um, have you actually compared benchmarks of other 8600m GT cards?
They aren't very good in the first place.
There is nothing to compare, i see a graphic performance slowdown in everything, and detailed list from gpu-z. I've found a problem, now i need the solution.

    Hi,
    Here is my /var/log/messages.log output.
    Since several days my computer repeatedly restarts programs that require at least a bit memory, such as firefox ('segmentation fault'), skype, virtualbox, generaly gnome 3 environment. Sometimes it happens that the system hangs and I can't do nothing, although I can hear that hard disk is working - at that moment only hard reset helps.
    I know that the Dell Inspiron laptops (1720) have problems with Nvidia 8600M GT (the cold solder). Is it like that this time? Or maybe something wrong with the memory, CPU (Core Duo) cache memory?
    I will be happy to add any additional information.
    Regards,
    Lukasz

    Did you update the nividia driver recently?
    there are some threads on this

  • Could MBPro Nvidia 8600M GT card problems be caused by Nvidia drivers?

    Just got back from the Authorized Apple tech shop, where they tested my MBPro 15" 2.4Ghz with Nvidia 8600M GT with 256MB vram, using the special Nvidia test software. They hook your MBPro to an external HD with the test software on it.
    They tested my MBPro and the results said the video card WASN'T defective or affected by the known defects.
    When the tech said "everything's normal", I said that it may not be eligible for the free replacement program, it may have cleared all the Nvidia tests, and the video card might not be "officially" defective, but if there's one thing the display on my $1800 MBPro is NOT is "normal".
    I insisted the tech guy look at my MBPro in action, scrolling down and up longish text and web pages. Took him about 3 seconds to "get it", i.e. what I'd been describing as the dizzying ripples, where the text "bulges" up and out at you as you scroll up and down.
    He said, Yeah, wow, I guess you do have something there. But you're still not eligible for the replacement program.
    I said I wasn't interested in getting the logic board replaced, in fact I'd prefer NOT to have to leave the MBPro for any length of time. But I was not ready to hear someone say it was "normal".
    I said I'd had just about every Mac ever made, including a few recent Intels, and NONE of them ever had this "ripple" problem. I still have a Core Duo 20" iMac - no ripples - and a Core 2 Duo Macbook - no ripples - and I asked the tech what he could make of that.
    He said hold on a sec, and went onto his brand new 24" iMac and, lo and behold, he said "Well, yeah, I see what you mean by those ripples. I'd never noticed it before."
    So he called over the other tech guy and they looked at the ripples up and down, and said that it might get annoying after 8 hours at your computer.
    Then he said that seeing as the problem WASN'T there with the Intel Macs that had ATI cards in them, or Intel GMA for the Macbook, the problem just might be with the NVIDIA DRIVERS. He said it looks like a problem REFRESHING and REDRAWING the screen. And might be solvable in future releases of the drivers and/or the OS.
    Anyone think it might be the NVIDIA drivers?

  • 10.6.8 freeze macbookpro3,1 nvidia 8600M

    I have been having somewhat random lockups since upgrading my machine to 10.6.8.  It appears to be a video issue, but I can't be sure if it is a hardware problem or a software issue related to the update.  Every time before the machine freezes (hard lock up, requires pushing the power button, disconnecting the power cable, and removing the battery in order to reboot!) the screen flickers (1 to maybe max 6 times) the cursor moves for just a moment longer, and then its totally done.
    I have an older MacBook Pro 3,1
    Nvidia 8600M graphics card.
    The machine also has PGP Whole Disk Encryption and VMWare Fusion for a good combination of strange kernel extensions.
    I haven't seen any evidence of peripherals being the problem, although when it is connected to my second display (Apple 23" display) it seems to happen a lot more frequently.  (That is also when it is connected to the external hard drives, including time machine.)  Removing the hard drives didn't seem to help.
    Here is the dump report.  Any help would be appreciated.  It will take me approximately 1 month to replace the machine through purchasing, so any tips would really help.

    I am encountering the same problem. It started around a week ago, and seems to be occurring a few times a day now.  Any solution to this?
    The kernel panic info is below.  Let me know if I need to post any particular information needed for diagnosing the problem.

  • Success story: NVIDIA 8600M GT graphics card defect repaired at no cost

    This is the story of Apple servicing my MacBook Pro with the NVIDIA graphics card defect.
    I had the NVIDIA 8600M GT graphics card defect in my 2 year old MacBook Pro. The symptoms were pinkish images, scrambled and chopped images, and finally leading to no video, all within a matter of 3 days. I called AppleCare using the old number I remembered from my 100mhz Mac days: 1-800-SOS-APPLE. I was greeted by a real person within 3 minutes. She explained that my 90-day complimentary phone service had expired some 600 days ago.
    After I mentioned the specific Apple Knowledge base article that described the defect (TS2377), and that it was covered up to three years out of warranty, she transferred me to a MacBook Pro specialist. Sheri ran me through several standard resets and reboots. She then suggested that it be taken into an Apple store for a genius to look at. When I explained that the nearest Apple Store was an hour away, she arranged for a mail-in service.
    After the call had ended, I received a simple email with her phone number so that I could contact her if I needed to. Another automated email contained my repair case number and a link to check the status online. The online status center is very easy to use. It displayed three steps: Sending the empty box, service in progress and return. FedEx tracking numbers were included with working links.
    The next day an empty box arrived, completely with graphical IKEA like packaging instructions and form fitting foam for my MacBook Pro. I knew when the FedEx truck came around, so I had my computer ready by my side. As soon as FedEx showed up, I explained that the empty box was for the computer and Marcos helped me apply the pre-paid return label and taped the box expertly with tape from his truck. I also placed in the box a copy of the Apple Knoweldge base article and pictures I had taken of the issue.
    Apple had included a small stack of super adhesive pre-cut tape square, but Macros was already taping it before I figured out what they were. The return label was also pre-paid with overnight service.
    The next day I logged into the online support status at Apple.com and checked my status. The tracking number showed it had arrived in Houston, and the three steps had been updated to "Repairs completed" and "Return in progress."
    The return FedEx tracking number was displayed later in the evening, and it showed that it was guaranteed to arrive by 10:30AM the next day. Speedy service! Sure enough, the next day I had my computer back in my hands, all data perfect and intact. I was very worried since I was not able to make a back up before sending it in, and Apple does not guarantee data safety. Apple had replaced the logic board, valued at $700 on iFixit (http://www.ifixit.com/MacBook-Parts/MacBook-Pro-15-Inch-Core-2-Duo-2-2-GHz-Logic -Board/IF185-073).
    The funny thing is, for the past 5 years, I have always cloned my drive or used time machine, but for the past two months I had cleared the backups to make up extra room on my externals. You really never know when disaster will strike!
    Learned:
    - Apple Customer Care is top notch, speedy and their status site is very easy to use
    - FedEx service was very helpful
    - If you have a NVIDIA graphics card, Mac or PC, check if your model is affected. Just today Sony announced that NVIDIA cards with defects will now be covered for 4 years out of warranty. (http://news.cnet.com/8301-13924_3-10307592-64.html)
    - Back up your stuff NOW. Use a flash drive or email files to yourself for a cheap fix.

    ha
    got the same problem with my mbp (dec 2007)
    also no video within 5 hours .... also no external video.
    lucky i had screen sharing on so i could check the system profiler via an other mac.
    It couldn't find the 6800M GT anymore...
    did another backup and went to the local apple store
    took a print out of Apple Knowledge base article that described the defect (TS2377)
    and they replaced the logicboard+gpu for free within 10 days ...
    everything is ok now except for my maxmsp copy which thinks it runs on an other machine and complains about a missing licence ....

  • Computer shuts off after Nvidia 8600M GT drivers installed

    Hello, I recently used the Toshiba Recovery to start anew (out-of-the-box state) on my Satellite X205-SLi4.  The problem is, after the Nvidia drivers (for dual Nvidia 8600M GT) were installed and I rebooted, the computer turns off during startup.  I tried several times to restart, but the same thing happens.  The ONLY way that my computer will run in normal mode is to run with the standard vga driver that was present befor the Nvidia drivers were installed.
    Is there a fix for this?  Any help would be appreciated!  Thanks in advance.
    I'm running Vista Ultimate 32-bit.

    Solved!

    Do you still think this is hardware related?
    I do, Mia. Restoring the hard disk to its factory-new contents should result in an error-free installation, with all drivers working properly.
    It's the way tech-support people verify that the hardware is okay.
    "Event Viewer cannot open the event log or custom view.  Verify that Event log service is running. The data is invalid (13)."

    I've instaled Arch about a month ago and now wanted to check my nvidia card using Bumblebee, but have some errors…

  • Nvidia 8600M GT GPU issues - please explain

    what is this exactly? well, whatever it is, someone told me this is why my MBP is in shop right now! screen went totally black lastnight with the computer running fine and normal. if this Nvidia thing is truly the problem and damaged, is this a big deal to fix? will i lose all my HD info during the repair? i dont know enough about the interior of my MBP to understand what this is exactly, so please help me. seems my 1year warranty should cover the repairs,but this is ridiculous. not even a year, and my $2800 machine shut down. my baby
    just found this:
    http://apple.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=08/10/11/1518246&from=rss
    Message was edited by: Carmine Matarazzo

    I had the GPU on my MacBook Pro fail, sent it into Apple late last year , they must have replaced all the guts of the computer because the hard drive was wiped of my data. Luckily I had it backed-up via Time Machine so was able to restore it.
    Since I figured it would probably fail again I bought the extended AppleCare plan. This past week it failed again, exact same problem. It's now in a local shop being repaired under AppleCare. Not sure if the hard drive will get wiped again.
    I expect it to fail again in the future as the problem appears inherent in the Nvidia GPU model. Apple can't seem to identify which parts will work or fail or I wouldn't have gotten a faulty GPU part installed as a fix. I hope I'm wrong as this is a hassle to deal with as my MBP is my workhorse computer, now I'm on a Windows machine as a workaround. This is really frustrating.

    Nvidia is a manufacturer of graphics chips and one of Apple's many suppliers. The chip will be attached to your logic board and has to do with graphics and the display. If the chip is defective and fails, Apple will replace the logic board under warranty. This should not in any way affect your hard drive, which is an entirely different component and is NOT physically attached to the logic board. Rather, it is connected by a cable which can be unplugged.
    The reality of manufacturing is that despite all precautions, defective parts are occasionally produced which end up getting incorporated into things--even very expensive things. It's unfortunate, but it happens.
    Your one year warranty should certainly cover the cost of the repair. You might want to consider getting 3 year Applecare.
    You might be able to access your hard drive using another Mac and Firewire Target Disk Mode. If so, it would be wise to make a backup of your hard drive before sending your Mac off for repairs. If you have access to an Apple Store, they should be able to help you to do this. They might also be able to replace the logic board for you.
    Your hard drive should not be affected by replacing the logic board, but there is always the possibility that the entire MBP will be examined, and if someone thinks the hard drive should be replaced, it probably would be. So be sure to make a backup of your entire hard drive before sending it off.
    Good luck!

  • NVidia 8600M GT more RAM?

    I have a MacBook Pro (~2008) 2.4GHz with 4GB 667 DDR2 SDRAM and the nVidia 8600M GT video chip with 256MB vRAM. I am working with Adobe Photoshop CS6 and continually get a message that my 3D capabilities are disabled due to lack of vRAM available (need 512MB min) ...
    Question: Is there a way to manaually provision more RAM to the video card to up it to 512 MB?
    Thanks.

    The NVIDIA GeForce 8600M is a dedicated graphic card, so you can't modify its VRAM because it's not being shared with your main memory. In Macs with integrated cards, you can add more VRAM by installing more RAM. See > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3246

  • Possible NVIDIA/PCI/OpenGL problem

    I've been having trouble with Adobe After Effects, Final Cut Pro, and Cinema 4D. I'm not sure if I always had these problems or if they appeared in the last year. Basically, in AfterEffects I can't scrub the video and get it to update, in Final Cut Pro the playhead doesn't update, and in Cinema 4D I can't get images shadows.
    I did a lot of research on each of these different problems and found they were related -- it seems like it's an OpenGL issue -- either OpenGL is faulty or turned off somehow. I've tried to turn it on in each of the programs -- to no avail.
    Then I thought it was an NVIDIA driver problem, but when I downloaded the driver, NVIDIA gave me an "Unsupported System - This computer will not support this NVIDIA graphics solution." popup. I looked in my Macbook Pro system profiler and saw that the NVIDIA card uses a PCIe bus, but when I clicked on PCI cards it gave me the error message "This computer doesn't contain any PCI cards. If you installed PCI cards, make sure they’re properly installed."
    Is this the problem? Are my PCI cards not installed correctly? Is it an NVIDIA card/update issue? Is it an OpenGL issue?
    Any help or suggestions much appreciated.
