NVIDIA GeForce GT 130 Kernel Panics/Freezes in Lion & late Snow Leopard

I've found some other reports of these freezes scattered about the forums, but usually other people come in and post something about unrelated video cards. So this thread is specific to NVIDIA GeForce GT 130 running OS X Lion (10.7-10.7.3), to avoid confusion and cross-polination of different issues.

Since upgrading to Lion I have had many issues with crashes and kernel panics characterized by the following symptoms, listed here in detail so that people can find them when they search:
Pixellation - colored pixels appear in different areas of the screen, in seemingly random bunches.
Mosaics - squares appear redrawn in the wrong part of the screen. Sometimes these squares are large, other times tiny.
Recovery - sometimes the system recovers once it starts doing these. Other times it just keeps going until it freezes/panics.
Kernel Panics - I've only had the "grey screen" appear once or twice. Usually there is a complete system lockup before this can happen, and I have to reboot the system manually.
Some solutions/attempts to solve:
Turn off Energy Saving - This is horrible for the monitor and can lead to burn-in, but I found that many of my crashes occured when the system was trying to recover from "screen sleep". So now I run a screen saver instead, which doesn't seem to trigger it as much.
Screen Saver - Sometimes I can "refresh" the system by turning on the screen saver and then coming back. Other times, this doesn't work and the pixellation/mosaic remains. Sometimes I can't even initialize the screen saver at all (in which case a total freeze usually occurs right after).
Rebooting - seems to clear things up for a while, but inevitably, the problem resurfaces.
Running Windows - Not really a solution, but I have had absolutely no issues with this behavior while running Windows 7 on this same machine (under Bootcamp).
Downgrading to Snow Leopard - I have not attempted this, but I've read others say that their crashes went away when they did. I would like some more concrete evidence on this if anyone has it.
My diagnosis so far:
OS X Lion's NVIDIA driver kernel extensions (kexts) seem to be faulty with this GPU. The Windows drivers for this GPU work better on Apple's own hardware than OS X Lion's. Anectodal evidence indicates that Snow Leopard's drivers (at least up to 10.6.3 – more confirmation needed) do not display this issue. I can confirm that this never occurred in Snow Leopard until Lion was released and I upgraded to it.
My request for help and information:
If you are running this GPU (GeForce GT 130) and OS X Lion, please contribute to this thread offering any solutions you may have or, at the very least, listing your hardware and GPU profile.
If you can, post crash logs so that we can compare common issues (NVDA Resman seems to be a huge recurring kext in the crash logs, for instance).
Post screen shots or pictures taken of the pixellation (colored pixels) and mosaic (squares drawn in the wrong place) phenomenon, so we can build a body of evidence regarding this issue. I will continue to update this thread with the same.
I feel Apple has ignored these issues for far too long, and required too many people to simply purchase new computers and new GPUs. If we can build a solid body of evidence regarding this specific issue, it will be a thread that Apple Support can be referred to.

Crashed again, this time while running screen saver. Here's the log:

  • Multiple kernel panic errors after upgrading to snow leopard 10.6.8 on my MacBook Pro.

    After upgrading to 10.6.8, I almost immediately began experiencing multiple random kernel panic errors.  I reinstalled the operating system that came with my notebook from the cd (10.6?) and the problem went away.  I upgraded again to 10.6.8 and again began experiencing the same error.  I have since gone back and installed the operating syatem from the cd and then upgraded to 10.6.7.  I have not had a single kernel panic error since, but I would like to upgrade to 10.6.8 so that I can install Lion when it is avaialable.  Any thoughts as to how I can do this without experiencing all of the accompanying kernel panic errors?

    Thank you.  The log is below:

  • Have Kernel Panics Changed Their Appearance In Snow Leopard?

    In kernel panics of old, what appeared to be a dark tinted filter would move down the screen and you would be given a few words of encouragement that things had gone wrong and you should shutdown and restart your computer.
    I have just had the screen go completely black and was unable to do anything about it. Everything appeared frozen.
    I held the power button down to force a shutdown and then restarted.
    Was this a "new-type" kernel panic?

    I have just opened up Console and this is what I found. It mentions the word "kernel".
    The report is called Kernel2010-09-03-123028Ian-Browns-iMac.panic
    As things appear OK now I will not do anything unless it happens again.

  • Intermittent kernel panics in Mountain Lion on iMac

    Hi, everyone!
    I'm having intermittent kernel panics on my early 2009 iMac running Mountain Lion.
    There's some kind of blink and the system immediately freezes and after a second or so Mac spontaneously restarts. Sometimes it happens when I simply surf the web, sometimes when I copy files (eg restoring backups from Time Machine). Twice it happend when the system was restarting after the freeze.
    I didn't have any problems with Leopard that came with my computer. Kernel panics started with upgrade to Snow Leopard. I decided to give it a try and installed Mountain Lion. 
    Roughly at the time of upgrade to Snow Leopard I also upgraded my RAM from 4 to 8 GB.
    What I've done already:
    I repaired disk and permissions on your Mac OS X startup disk.
    I updated my system and all applications.
    I tried to rule out incompatible third-party kernel extensions (although I'm not aware of any) with Safe Mode, but again had some kernel panics.
    I ran the Apple Hardware Test from the disc that came with my Mac (AHT version 3A157, 3.3.1), with the Extended Test option checked, in Loop Mode.
    Last time I did it, It made 7 loops with the Apple RAM with no issues.
    I repeated the test with the new, third-party RAM (Corsair), it made several loops as well, no issues found.
    But I remember when I tried for the first time to run the test (with the third-party RAM), it froze during the third loop.
    I also ran Memtest-86 v4.1.0. The first time I tried it, it passed 3 loops with no errors.
    A few days later I tried again and it hung during the second loop (no issues found in first loop).
    I removed my external disc drive (Time Machine), UPS and scanner cables.
    So apart from the mouse (Razer Orochi, I broke my Apple mouse) I don't have now any peripherals nor hardware additions.
    Lastly I erased the internal drive and installed Mountain Lion.
    My last kernel panic log bellow.
    Please note: there are 'kaspersky' and 'virtualbox' parts in the kernel panic log below, but kernel panics were happenning without Kaspersky and VirtualBox installed.
    I would greatly appreciate any suggestions.

    Hi,
    I've been busy lately and haven't had the chance to work on this particular computer.
    When I finally tried it, I thought at first it helped to simply uninstall VB and Kaspersky – there were no kernel panics for about a day of work. It did puzzle me, though, why the crashes were occurring while in Safe Mode and not now.
    But than again today I had a kernel panic while watching a short video online (Flash).
    If I understood well Linc Davis comment, it means I have a faulty graphics adapter which means I have to replace the logic board.
    Do you think I should try and find some third party tools to confirm that or look for a firmware patch? I don't want to spend weeks searching and wasting your and my time but maybe there's something else I didn't do or look for.
    Thank you in advance for any advice.
    My last kernel panic log below.

  • OS/X Lion 10.7.2 kernel panic - freezes & crashes continue

    Just using Safari (with a remote session in the background), I had a full kernel panic & crash - the one where it tells you that you have to reset the power. I've a 24" iMac ( early 2009 ) NVIDIA GeForce GT 130 512 MB Lion 10.7.2. So it's not just your new system, it's a general Lion problem - it started with 10.7.0, lasted through 10.7.1 and is still with me.
    Yesterday I did a safe boot in the hope that resetting everything that way would help (I had about three freezes and crashes yesterday), but no joy.
    These are the events in the minute or so before the crash:

    Thank you - that all makes sense. It is, indeed, exactly what I did when I upgraded.
    I'm also writing this on the machine that crashed a few minutes ago (I posted the crash in another thread). I got back with a 'safe boot' - as I have done a few times before.
    I've also de-installed little snitch (and then done a safe-boot & then re-boot ) since that seemed involved. I de-installed Adobe flash, since that seemed to be a problem - I then re-installed the later, apparently fixed, flash. The most recent crashes don't seeme to have a problem with flash any more.
    I've posted the various ( generally different ) crashes. I also posted a summary of the similar lines that turn up in most of the crashes.
    Unfortuantely, I'm actually trying to use the machine to meet some urgent deadlines and all this is not making it at all easy.
    I had had great hopes for 10.7.2 - I thought that the crashes must be pretty common, so would have a common aetiology. There do seem to have been some fundamental changes to the file sytem and to the video interface (that seems to cause problems to brand new iMacs as well as to my 2009 iMac).

  • Mac Pro (early 2008) still experiencing frequent Kernel Panic freezing ... ugh

      My early 2008 Mac Pro (2 x 2.8 GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon, 24 GB 800 MHz DDR2 FB-DIMM) is still experiencing frequent Kernel Panic freezing.
    Some days I can go the whole day without one, other days I will experience many, some while using the computer, some after waking it up, some after restarting from one.... its a mess.
      I thought it might be RAM related. So I ran different tests on all the chips, found nothing, no errors reported after overnight looping tests. I added more RAM (I ordered 4 2Gb chips so I'd have a total of 16Gb, they sent me 4Gb cards, so now I have 24Gb. I have heard its best to have all cards of the same size, so I ran it with just the new 4Gb cards giving it 16Gb, it still crashed.) I tested the new ram alone, in 2 card groups, in different configurations on the RAM boards, nada.
      Maybe it's the graphics card? But I get no weird graphics artifacts (which I did used to experience with my old iMac before it died).
      The fans seem to run normally, not too fast or too loud. Sometimes after repeated crashes I'll open up the computer and blow it out with compressed air. That does seem to help, but not always. It's not real dusty, though there is a fine layer of dust that seems to be stuck/ coat the boards.
      In Activity Monitor, the kernel_task hovers at about 1.22 Gb of RAM.
      I can not iron down what the problem stems from. Nothing seems to alleviate the crashing, which has become more and more frequent it seems...
    Anyone have any suggestions? I have tried using Hardware Test using the original OS disks. I have tried Memtest in Terminal. All to no avail. Nothing turned up any errors. I am not sure what to do next besides call for an Exorcism.
    Please help!

    They keep happening. In the time it took to select the latest one, copy and paste it here, and then write this, a dozen more were logged... Is that normal??

  • Random Kernel Panic/Freeze

    I have a 1GHz PowerBook G4 17" that would randomly freeze when I installed OS X 10.5 on it about 4 months ago. Looking in Console.app after a crash (which I would have to hold the power button for 7+ seconds to cycle power t o recover), the crash message would point to my AirPort Extreme card. So I figured something was wonky with the driver, and I gave up on 10.5; reverted to 10.4.
    Just today I ran across a 1.06 GHz 12" iBook G4 that runs 10.5 just fine. Looking in System Profiler.app shows my AirPort Card's Firmware as: 405.1 (3.90.34.0.p18), and theirs: broadcom bcm 43xx 1.0 (4.170.25.8). I also discovered through the ioreg program that my card has a IONameMatch of "pci106b,4e", and theirs is "pci14e4,4320".
    Can anyone confirm if the AirPort Extreme card is the source of these freezes, and if there is any thing I can do (short of removing the card) to work around the issue (i.e., firmware updates, config settings, rom values, etc)?

    Unfortunately you gave up too soon. The thing to have done was to troubleshoot the system to determine the source of the kernel panic/freeze.
    You could have removed the airport card temporarily to see if it really was the problem.
    My guess would be bad or marginal RAM.
    Leopard is extremely "fussy" about RAM and if you have any 3rd party RAM installed, I would guess that that was the issue. RAM that works with Tiger may not work with Leopard, which is far more demanding on RAM.
    Only you can answer the question by reinstalling Leopard (cloning Tiger on a bootable external drive so you can use both systems) and making the proper diagnoses.
    Regarding your airport card, are you sure the firmware is up-to-date? Did you miss an update?

    Hey guys I'm getting loads of kernel panics sinc downloading Lion. Sometimes I can't even get back to the desktop after shutting down, it just crashes again on start up. Very annoying! Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

  • Six kernel panics since installing Lion

    So I've had six kernel panics since installing Lion on my sandy bridge MBP.  Usually running safari, mail, and excel when they occur.   Weird third-party process or something?  I actually don't have many applications installed on this computer.  Any thoughts?
    Perhaps this has something to do with it but I don't know, when looking at my login items there's a flag next to iTunesHelper.  I don't know what the flag means.
    Thanks

    The flag simply means hide this application after it automatically launches.  It should have nothing to do with your kernal panic. You need to post the relevant log message for folks to analyse.
    There are others who can help with that; I'm not really good at reading the logs.
    Although it shouldn't be responsible, you might want to take gfxCardStatus out of your startup just in case.  You can always put it back in if that's not the culprit.  Others have used it without any kernal panics, so it's probably a bad WAG.

  • Nvidia TV-out gives kernel panic

    Hello fellow Archers,
    I am using Arch for years now and encountered a very weird problem. My multimedia machine has a new videocard, an Nvidia 6200 A-LE. With this card, I am unable to use the TV-out. By default, it sets NTSC as where my TV needs PAL-B. I took the xorg.conf which worked with my previous nvidia videocard.
    The problem is, when I set this option in xorg.conf:
    option "TVStandard" "PAL-B"
    my system freezes when starting X. The flasing keyboard lights indicate a kernel panic, but when I do a hard reboot, nothing useful has been stored in either /var/log/Xorg.0.log or /var/log/messages, as suggested in other topics. When I uncomment this option, X starts up just fine (it only gives me a black and white screen due to the default NTSC). The annoying thing is that this configuration worked just fine with my old GeForce 4 card.
    Does anyone know what what is causing this issue or how to find it?
    Thanks!

    What video driver are you using?  nVidia proprietary?  Nouveau?  These are the only two that support TV-out I believe, so try the other one.  And file an upstream bug report for the one you're using.
    Also, to tell if you've really had a kernel panic, it might make sense to enable the magic sysrq key in /etc/sysctl.conf, and try Alt+SysRq+{R,E,I,S,U,B} to safely reboot your computer.

  • 17" Intel iMac Kernel Panic, Freezing at Grey Screen and Beeping!

    Hi there,
    I have a new 17" Intel iMac (Intel Core 2 Duo 2 GHz, 250 GB, 1GB Memory with OS X 10.4.8) that keeps getting those "You need to restart your computer. Hold down the Power button for several seconds or press the Restart button." messages.
    It all started on Sunday when I tried to wake the computer (the computer went on Sleep by itself) and got that message so I restarted the computer but it froze on the grey screen (even before I got the Apple) and it beeped 3 times and then the light on front just kept blinking 3 times. I finally was able to erase and re-install OS X and everything was fine until I left the computer for a while, it went to sleep again, and then the message came back. I restarted and it seems to be fine but I'm worried the beeping and freezing will come back.
    The first time this happened, I didn't know enough to "log" the kernel panics but I do know that I deleted a lot of the applications (iWeb, Garage Band, etc.) that I didn't need and fidged with the Share folder in the Users folder. I use a Flash Drive a lot and always left it connected to the keyboard's USB drive. Also leave my iPod Nano connected. After I reinstalled everything, I only deleted the Garage Band demos, installed and deleted the Firefox 2.0 and Opera (wanted to just stick with Firefox 1.0) applications. Only used the Flash Drive a little and haven't connected my iPod on yet. Trying to isolate the problem. I can't remember doing anything else.
    Here's the log from the latest kernel panic:

    I don't know what this part is about because I don't have a Printer hooked up to the computer.
    The only other thing I can think of is I also installed WireTap and StuffIt before the initial crashing. I heard StuffIt was causing problems on some Intel Macs. Also changed a lot of the icons and changed the icon for Preview. I "verified" my hard drive and "verified and repaired the disk permissions" (I'm not that knowledgeable about computers let alone Macs). I also checked my hardware by pressing D while the grey CD OS X was running and get this:
    4MEME/4/40000000: 2F244040
    usually during the initial testing but when I restart and try it again, it's fine.
    Well, that's all I can think of. Any thoughts?
    Thanks a lot!

    Thanks for the reply and links!
    After the first problems, I re-seated the RAMs. Does this mean I have to buy new memory? This is a pretty new iMac, bought it in May and have only been using it for maybe two months. Haven't done a whole lot with it but I usually keep a lot of programs open at the same time. I have Adobe CS3 installed too and it says it needs at least 1 GB of memory. I've heard people saying it's best to have as much RAM (this Mac can only take up to 3GB) when using those programs. Maybe it's getting too heavy? Should I only keep one program open at a time? Also, which part of my post indicated that it was memory problems? What the "panic.log" stated or that "4MEME/4/40000000: 2F244040" stuff? Anything else I can do to not let this happen again?
    Thanks again!

  • Kernel Panics & freezing

    I just got my imac a few weeks ago and it's been having a lot of kernel panics. Sometimes the computer freezes, but does not show the "you need to restart your computer" dialog. The text in panic.log from the last one is as follows:

    It has happened most often during games, such as Halo, Quake III and Wolfenstien, but occasionally happens completely randomly. Please help if possible, I don't really want to drag it to the apple store if i can avoid it.
    Edit: The computer has no other problems besides this: no unfixable sleep issues, no excessive fan noise (mostly), no video problems...
    Ran through Apple hardware test, no problems found
    Went through thexlab.com's guide except for reformatting the drive and reinstalling

    Hi Rod,
    Yes, I'm turning off Airport at the iMac G5 computer prior to "Restart" and everything's okay.
    Yes, I can turn on Airport after restarting and there's no crash and no problem that I see.
    Shut-down and cold power-up works fine with Airport on. It's only "Restart" with Airport on that crashes as the system starts to come back up - i.e. gets to the white screen with the Apple logo then I get the four language/reboot your computer message.
    I'm pretty sure that the Base Station has the latest base station software. It's a 2nd generation 802.11 11 Mbps Airport base stastion with the WAN and Ethernet ports)
    Two iMac G3's running 10.3.x are also using wireless through this base station and they aren't crashing on Restart or anywhere else. The iMac G5 is running the latest 10.4.x.
    I'll try the PRAM reset exercise at power up. I'll also try resetting the SMU (what's that?) by disconnecting from the line power for a few minutes.
    If there is a Airport HW issue inside the iMac G5 that would be very bad news. This computer is going to college with my son at the end of this week. I really need to resolve this issue quickly.
    Thanks,
    Steve

  • Kernel Panics/Freezing/3 Beeps

    I've had my 14" iBook for 3 years now (coming December 8th). I don't have extended warranty.
    On Sunday I was using it and it started to kernel panic and freeze constantly. After a few, it would work again for a few hours and then panic a few times and freeze. I ran Apple Hardware test a few times and it said everything was a-ok. Frusterated, I backed up everthing and reformatted and installed Tiger, thinking if it had anything to do with a software problem this would help.
    It worked for awhile, but then it started freezing and panicing again last night. Reading these forums, I decided to make sure my AirPort card was seated properly (it was), and then took out my additional 512MB stick of RAM. Now, without the additional RAM installed, it won't even start up, sometimes emitting the startup chime crackly and full of static, and now mostly emitting 3 beeps (no good RAM blocks) with no action of starting up.
    So the question I have is: if it can't find any good RAM blocks, does that mean there something wrong with the RAM that is preinstalled and soldered onto the logic board? Does this mean I would have to get the logic board replaced? To have my iBook fixed?
    I was mostly thinking of buying a new computer anyways, and if it were to come down to having to get the logic board replaced I would probably just spring for a fancy new iMac .
    Any comments or help would be appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Sheldon

  • Weekly Crashes, Kernel Panics, Freezes, Reboot, Shut Downs, HELP!

    I've posted this problem everywhere but no one seems to care or have anything useful to say, so I'm asking you guys now.
    _My current situation:_
    I have a Unibody MacBook Pro 15 inch, 2.53 GHz, 4GB RAM, bought in Late 2008, so it's the first generation of Unibodies.
    It came with Leopard and *everything was perfect and wonderful, until I upgraded to Snow Leopard*.
    Since then, approximately once or twice a week, I get various problems that involve a hard reset of the computer. This is sometimes a *complete freeze, a spontaneous reboot, a power-off without warning, or a kernel panic*. So sometimes the computer will reboot on its own, sometimes it will power off without rebooting, and sometimes it just freezes requiring me to power it off by holding the power button.
    For example, the problem I just had 10 minutes ago can be described as follows:
    The mouse suddenly moves a lot faster than usual, and seems to freeze from time to time. The Skype audio conversation I am having still works perfectly fine. I try to click, press exposé, but nothing reacts. The mouse reacts to movement, but moves way too fast. Then, all of a sudden, the last bit of audio from Skype keeps *looping forever*, and everything has frozen, including the mouse. Then the computer goes black and starts to reboot automatically.
    This has happened many times before. Often, the computer would start to reboot (totally on its own), I would hear the startup chime, and then it would go black again, and start booting *all over again*.
    Sometimes the screensaver just freezes, with random thick grey horizontal lines scanning and flickering across the screen. It won't react to anything, even the Caps Lock key won't light up when pressed.
    I have noticed that these problems only seem happen when I am using the *9600M graphics card*. Not when using the 9400M. This is not for sure, as I rarely use the 9400M.
    However, before you say it's a graphics card failure, let me just clarify that NONE of this happened on Leopard for a year. Absolutely nothing. Now I don't believe that by coincidence, my graphics card failed for no reason right on the day I upgraded to Snow Leopard.
    I have talked with a genius and all he could say that he has no idea and that there's nothing he can do. He said it could be RAM or it could be the graphics card, but that's just based on what I told him. He could take the machine for some time and run tests on it, but I can't live without my computer at the moment, it is crucial for my studies, I'd rather have it crash every 4 days than not have a computer at all for a few days.
    _What I have tried so far:_
    I have run the basic Apple Hardware Test, I haven't run the Extended one yet.
    I used Tech Tool Pro's non-booting interface and it shows no problems.
    I repaired permissions more times that the number of atoms in the universe.
    I checked the hard drive for errors using Disk Utility, nothing.
    I will try reinstalling Snow Leopard if the upcoming 10.6.3 update doesn't solve the problem.
    *Then I will reinstall Leopard.*
    Until then, can anyone think of anything that could help? I'm looking for SOFTWARE related issues, not hardware. If my problem is hardware, I'm doomed, as I am out of warranty, and I'm NOT paying any amount of money to fix this as I've only bought this super expensive computer a year and a half ago.
    So, please help me. I'm very annoyed. My 8 year old Pentium III with Windows 2000 is more stable than this.

    Here are two extracts from the Console.app, both generated during the time of two separate crashes, I would like someone who knows anything about the Console messages to have a look through it and check what's similar in both of them, and maybe point to what may be the cause. I found that each time there's something about "64 bit mode enabled" and also something like "launchd[1] has started up". I don't know what these mean but all I know is that these messages were generated during at least two crashes. The way the last two crashes happened were as follows: the mouse started being over sensitive, as I moved my finger over the trackpad, the pointer moved way too fast compared to normally. I could not click anything, and the rest of the screen was frozen, except for the strange mouse pointer. The Skype conversation in the background was still working fine, except that the person reported not seeing me anymore on the webcam. My green iSight light was still on though. Then the mouse froze and in one case the system rebooted on its own, in another case I had to do it manually.
    Here are the two logs:

  • Arch kernel panic, freezing during boot

    Every single thing worked just great, then I burned a CD with Brasero (which I've done before), and right when the CD got ejected everything froze. My music froze, and so did the mouse and my computer didn't listen to any key strokes. Then I noticed that my CAPSLOCK and NUMLOCK leds on my keyboard were blinking. Was it a kernel panic? I don't know.
    The only option I had left was to hit the big red reset button.
    At boot, GRUB worked just fine, and then a lot of text as usual when Linux checks stuff and such, and after that a black screen with a non blinking cursor up in the left corner of the screen. Instead of that non blinking cursor, I've set gnome to autoload, which it wasn't. So I removed the autoload of gnome so that the usual prompt should appear, but it does not! So right now, I have no idea what to do!
    I have checked my partitions with gparted on a live CD and they all seem to be intact.
