NVidia GeForce4 Ti graphics card problems on my G4 1.25 MDD

I've had my Dual G4 1.25 MDD for 2 yrs now and since i bought it from Apple it has the nVidia GeForce4 Ti 4600 graphics card w/128MB DDR. Love the card, but now its acting up.
At random while playing my favorite Online Game, WoW, the Computer will have system lock ups that feel like its an issue with the Video Card. I get the Gray Translucent effect that goes over the screen then the Dialog box that pops up with You must Resart your computer, blah blah blah. I think thats a Kernel problem (not sure). Can't force quit and I am forced to power down with the Power Button and then re-power up to boot up. Often I have opened my case to blow the dust out of the case with compressed air and I notice the GPU Heatsink/Fan is extremely Hot, even hotter than the CPU Heatsink. Could the GPU Heatsink/Fan have gone bad? If so could this cause the Card to Fail?
I ran an Apple Hardware Test one time to check it out and the Quick Test passed but the Extended Test Failed giving me a bizarre Error Code for the Video Card. I didnt recall the Code but It leads me to think the Video Card Failed!
I still Have 1 yr left on my 3yr AppleCare. What Can I do? Perhaps the Card needs to be replaced? I can't afford a new Video Card.
Thank you any help or idea is appreciated.

the apple care people were very nice and helped me through some checking and did more AHT (didnt seem necessary but) and they told me the Error codes meant something to do with the Cooling FAn faulting. I got a case # and took it into my local Apple store.
the genius tech was great and listened intently. made me feel better about bringing it in.
the initial reports from the apple care tech on phone and the apple tech at the apple store estiimated the video card would need replacement. very nice people, down to earth and didnt make me feel stupid as some techs do.
after seeing the estimate made me glad for apple care... whoah, lets just say if I didnt have apple care, I wouldn't have gotten the computer repaired, I would of opted to attempt to just buy parts as I could.
now stuck checking this discussion site with my old BWG3, and I am hoping the 7days rolls by fast.
Thanks for the help.

    Hello, I have a Mac computer with NVIDIA 750M dedicated graphics card and monitor EIZO but the problem was there when I was working with Windows and Acer monitor. When I open a file from Camera Raw in PS this is smaller than the screen so I double-click with the tool "hand" to fit on the screen, but the picture loses sharpness and becomes blurry. If you magnify the image even only slightly with the tool "zoom" the picture comes back clear. In Camera Raw instead is always sharp. I solve the problem by turning off the graphics card in PS but often use plugin that need the graphics card otherwise the processing time is much longer. I ask for help.
    Thanks.

  • NVIDIA graphics card problems

    i was running halo demo on my mac book pro with 4 GB Ram and High Res screen plus NVIDIA 8600 GeForce graphics card and dual core processors running at 2.4 GHz and every time i got shot with a plasma weapon or an explosion occurred, my screen would go completely white and my motion detector is just a light blue square. i know that i have the power with this new mac, so what is the problem, the nvidia website has no driver updates for mac os x so someone please help me, what do i need to do

    the problem is that Apple write their own drivers and the ones that they have written for nvidia are hopeless. I personally find that to be a pretty outrageous state of affairs, when you consider how much a top of the line MacBook Pro costs. To be specific: it's outrageous that they install nvidia cards on new machines before they've written decent drivers.. If you pick up an OLD Mac with an OLD ATI card, you'll get much better performance..
    Also, lets be clear that the apple engineers are not stupid. They know about this problem but there is obviously not the Corporate will to solve it asap...
    Sad. And for professional applications it makes me want to go and buy a (shiver) PC..

  • 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 ....

  • NVidia GT 610 Graphics Card - Code 12

    I have installed my new NVidia GT 610 Graphics Card and installed the driver perfectly (BIOS is also up to date) but when I check the device manager (via the built in Integrated Graphics) it says:
    This device cannot find enough free resources that it can use. If you want to use this device, you will need to disable one of the other devices on this system. (Code 12)
    I tried disabling the Integrated Graphics and then restarting the system with the GT 610. I can hear the computer reach my log-in screen but I have no picture apart from a black screen and a solid white '-' in the top left corner. I tried to take it a step further by disabling the intergrated graphics directly from the BIOS but when I do that, when the pc starts up I get stuck on the Blue into screen that says "press escape for startup menu" which doesn't work at all, forcing me to turn if off.
    I feel like I am so close to getting my new card to work but I can't figure out what to do from here. I have tried looking for a similar experience using the search function and one dude said he got his to work by disabling "many" "unnecessary" hardware things, but I am hesitant to do that without proper knowledge...
    Please help! I will keep a close eye on this thread in the coming hours (currently 8:54pm here).
    Edit: I have posted the exact same question on the GeForce forums.
    Edit: Troubleshooting tells me that "Hardware changes might not have been detected".
    Edit: Location - PCI Bus 1, device 0, function 0.
    This question was solved.

    Actually you may find that you have more success with an AMD\ATI Radeon video card.
    I have experienced that with some motherboards, specifically Pegatron motherboards.
    The problem is that you are delving into the DIY gaming PC realm and  trying to do it with a prebuilt desktop PC.
    Upgrading a prebuilt PC does not always result in a success story. Don't even consider trying to install cutting edge gaming memory modules. That will be a definite disappointment for you.
    You may get lucky with an AMD Radeon HD video card.
    But...You might just run into the same frustrating scenario you are facing today. I wish I had better news to give you.

  • Can i install nVidia PCI express graphics card on a ATI X200 motherboard

    Is ATI X200 motherboard compatible with nVidia PCI Xpress graphics card(Gforce 6series card)?
    My system configuration
    AMD Athlon 64 3200+
    ATI XPRESS 200 RS482M2 Series  Motherboard
    512 MB DDR RAM

    It is indeed my friend, I have put an NVidea G-Force 6600 PCI-E in a MSI RS482M-IL Motherboard (using the ATI Chipset) and it works a dream  , not a problem.  The only advantage of using an ATI card is that the catalyst drivers on the CD for the motherboard works with the card! 

  • Graphic card problem maybe? Since when I have changed the hard drive to my macbook pro and I installed all the new softwares, my mac is very slow and the screen gives crazy pictures,could maybe be the graphic card, does anybody have experienced this?

    Graphic card problem maybe? Since when I have changed the hard drive to my macbook pro and I installed all the new softwares, my mac is very slow and the screen gives crazy pictures,could maybe be the graphic card, does anybody have experienced this?

    after a restart it works for a time, but always slow. I went to the Applestore this afternoon and the made a check and said it would be the logicboard and they would have to change it for CHF 600 and it would be ready in 10 - 15 days

  • Is anyone still having discrete graphics card problems after replacement

    Is anyone still having discrete graphics card problems after replacement?
    Macbook Pro eligible for replacement through Apple program.
    Submitted my computer 2 days before program came into effect.
    They replaced card or logic board with same original model: AMD Radeon HD 6770M 1024 MB
    Issued me a refund check for my repair.
    Seems to have some noticeable issues, fan running more than usual again, and temporary graphic lines,
    but disappear too fast before a screen dump...
    Is anyone who has participated in the replacement program received a different graphic card for
    Model Macbook Pro 17" (late 2011)
    Thank you for the reply.

    Unfortunately I have yet to call AppleCare because I am on a project for 3 weeks and cannot be without my laptop during that period....
    Until that time I am trying to figure out what I can do to protect the Palm Rest/Mouse Pad area of my Macbook once they either fix it or give me a new one. Has anyone had any experience with either of these products that can provide some input as to whether they are good or bad?

  • HP Pavilion G4 1003-TX Graphic Card Problem

    Hello... I have HP pavilion G4 1003TX laptop which cureently having graphic card problem. Technician at my place said that's caused by the solder connection on my Radeon graphic card.  He said it can be repaired, but the same problem will happen again soon unless i replaced my graphic card with new one.
    In my laptop, i have Radeon and Intel graphic card which i can switch freely. My question is, if i change from my Radeon to my Intel graphic card, is my graphic card problem solved? Is my laptop still will not last long unless i buy new graphic card?
    Please help me if you know the answer. Thanks
    This question was solved.
    View Solution.

    So my laptop will not start after i turned it on. The technician said it because some solder connection on the graphic card so it need to be resoldered. He warn me that the same problem will happen again soon since it's sign that my VGA card will dead. After he resoldered, my laptop can work normally for 3 months. Now, after 3 months, my laptop  can't start again just like before. The technician said it because of solder connection of my VGA card again.
    So, since my laptop has Intel and Radeon VGA card that i can switch, is switching my VGA card form Radeon to Intel will solve my Radeon VGA card dead problem? Will my laptop can work normally if i switch my VGA card to Intel?

  • Mail (4.6) in OS10.6.8 shows several photo attachments with discoloration, distortion (jagged lines, splotches of color, etc.). Could it be a graphics card problem?

    My mother-in-law's MacBook Pro 13 (m2009) Mail (4.6) with OS 10.6.8 shows several
    photo attachments with discoloration, distortion (jagged lines, splotches of color, etc.).
    Could it be a graphics card problem?
    Or a bad unpacking of attachments over poor WiFi/Internet?
    If anyone has an idea, I'd appreciate your help.
    Thanks from Japan!
    Dan

    Please describe the problem in as much relevant detail as possible. The "etrecheck" fad hasn't made that step any less necessary. The better your description, the better the chance of a solution.
    For example, if the computer is slow, which specific actions are slow? Is it slow all the time, or only sometimes? What changes did you make, if any, just before it became slow? Have you seen any alerts or error messages? Have you done anything to try to fix it? Most importantly, do you have a current backup of all data? If the answer to the last question is "no," back up now. Ask if you need guidance. Do nothing else until you have a backup.

  • HT1553 my laptop screen has gone blank, probably graphic card problem. i want to back it up. please help

    my laptop screen has gone blank probably due to graphic card problem.i need to back up my content as i have bought a new mac and do not intend on repairing the old one. please help

    Try a Target disk:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4889
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1661
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4413
    If you are buying a new mac, Apple will do the migration for you, I would let them do it.
    If you have an external monitor, I would try to do a data backup before doing anything.
    Could also be your drive has already failed, or logic card.  Again I would take it the  Apple store, and have them deal with it since you bought a new Mac, they would do this for free, and the shoulder the responsibility.
    Hoe this helps.

  • NVIDIA Quadro FX3800M Graphics Card for PC Laptop

    I am looking to buy a new laptop PC.
    Does the NVIDIA Quadro FX3800M graphics card work with the Mercury Playback engine.

    I can tell you first hand that it works on my laptop with the "soft-hack". I am using a Sager custom build with 3 internal drives and an eSata external drive for my media.
    Please feel free to contact me with any questions you may have. My response may be a bit slow as I am on assignment in Afghanistan.

  • Nvidia graphics card problem

    Hi. I have a 2009 Mac Book Pro. Recently, I changed HDDs, and installed the Windows 8 Consumer preview. I then installled Assassins Creed Brotherhood, but when I opened it, it was very slow and had sticky graphics. I looked to see if my graphics card was working properly, and I found out that my computer didnt recognize the graphics card. I found out it was running off my 9400m Nividia card. I know I have a 9600m card with much better specs, fully capabile of running ACB, but I could not get if to work. I installed dozens of Nvidia drivers, tryng to get it to work, and tried every inf alteration that would spposedly fix it, but I never found a solution. What do you sugest I do? It cant be Windows 8 causing the problem, because Microsoft used the same platform as Windows 7 to write Windows 8. Where can I get the correct drivers?
    P.S. I lost the CD that came with my Mac Book. I was told that might have the drivers.

    Bad video card memory. In the past on a desktop that meant a new card. Are you overclocking the 860?

  • Mac keeps crashing whenever using Office for Mac (possible graphic card problem)

    Mid 2010 15 inch MacBook Pro. Played out perfectly for the first two years. As soon as the warranty expired, things went sideways. Do not know why but whenever I try to use Office 2011 for Mac the entire mac freezes for a millisecond and then crashes. Does this repeatedly whenever I try using Office.

    I've done a couple of modifications on it but I dont believe they have affected it to such extent. I believe it might be a defective graphic card but at this point, believing the crash was induced by the usage of Office I have done everything possible short to dismembering the Mac and changing the Graphic Card. I have read somewhere that mid 2010s had problems with graphic cards. If anyone has found a way around the changing of the card, I would be very grateful of their opinion and suggestions.

    First, uninstall the software responsible for installing these extensions:
    com.logmein.driver.LogMeInSoundDriver          1.0.0
    com.squirrels.driver.AirParrotSpeakers          1.8
    com.rim.driver.BlackBerryUSBDriverInt          0.0.68
    If removing the software and extensions doesn't solve the problem, then you are probably correct about the GPU:
    The problem is likely due to the discreet GPU failing. Download gfxCardStatus 2.3 and use it to disable the GPU. This is a temporary workaround until you get your motherboard replaced.
