Screen turning pink during graphic intensive apps

Recently my 2011 MacBook Pro has been acting up. Sometimes when Im using it the white of the screen will turn pink and fuzzy, but still operate like normal. Today I realized that this only happens when Im using an application that depends on graphics, like photoshop, iphoto and the like. After running a hardware test all I got back was that a sensor has gone bad. Any tips? Im deciding if it might be easier just to outright buy a new system. Thank you!

  • [Solved] AppleTV Screen turns pink during boot

    I got my AppleTV and a Broadcom Crystal HD card, but everytime Arch boots the screen turns pink (...). It happens when it starts loading the modules (there's a flicker on the screen). I have tried all three nVidia drivers - the OSS nv and nouveau ones, and the proprietary one. Adding 'nomodeset' to the GRUB config doesn't help any (and I understood xf86-video-nv doesn't have KMS support at all anyway). I tried both the 190 and 173 series of the nVidia drivers. Since the AppleTV software works fine (and the atv-bootloader environment and Arch boot sequence until it starts loading kernel modules are the regular white on black), I think it is a driver problem. However, Google isn't telling me anything specific. I know the chip is a GeForce Go 7300.
    Suggestions are welcome.

    Thanks. After taking the plunge once more - Ubuntu 9.10 netboot - I found out the pink hue disappears somehow... Don't ask what happened :-/. When I saw that I put Arch back on and behold, it works fine now . Maybe it was something HDMI-related.

  • IPad's screen turned pink and flashing

    All of a sudden, my iPad's screen turned pink. Tried resetting but did not help. The screen is now red/pink-ish and flashing. I, of course, did not drop it or anything like that.
    Is this a hardware problem? is it fixable by a user?

    I just had mine replaced and it is betterr than the original.
    Holds the 3G signal better.
    i bought one as soon as they came out, so there is probably a bit of a higher failure rate for the first models.
    You are basically getting a new one and you have a year from the purchase to extend the warranty.
    I would not give up my Ipad.
    I look at laptops now and they seems like dinosaurs.

  • Graphics intensive apps cause keyboard input loss

    Hi Everyone
    I have recently had some unfortunate incidents that have required me to re-install Mac OS X. Post re-installation, i have had issues with some relatively graphical intensive apps (Pixelmator, Photoshop, Sketchup 7) after 10-20 minutes using any of the given apps, i lose input on the alpha-numeric keys.
    i still have the backspace, shift, tab, modifier, and function keys, but a-z, 1-0, all punctuation, and the return key disappear. this is easily fixed with a restart of my machine, but that causes me to not be able to save new work with identifiable names. thanks for your feedback!!!!!!

    hi. thanks for your reply. it was completely a brain fail on my part, I misread the install instructions on Linux Mint, and reformatted my hard drive by accident. then, after booting from my Leopard install disk, I deleted the linux partition, and made a new 1 partition setup for Mac OS X. After doing what I thought was a regular install, the "restore from time machine backup could not find, and therefore not mount my backup drive within migration assistant, or whatever that function uses. I ended up having to manually drag all my files from the backups themselves (inside the backups sparsbundle that time machine creates. I have since re installed all the current offending apps, and still, the problem persists.I just installes Snow Leopard Yesterday, hoping that would fix it, and it did for about, 8 hours. now Photoshop, Sketchup, and pixelmator all have this effect.
    let me know if you need more info/clarification.

  • Satellite P300 with screen turning pink

    Hi
    My Satellite P300 is model PSPCCA-OC6O1Y. The problem I have is a lot of pink on the screen. This has been reoccuring over the last week with this morning the worst. Presently I have two distinct pink pencil lines running down the screen just right of middle, and I also have many other random pink pixles jumping all over the place.
    Earlier today what would normally be white on the screen is pink and moving which made it almost impossible to see the screen and use the machine. A shut down and restart has bought it back to a useable position, although the problem has not gone away. On restart no sign of pink on the screen during the normal bootup - no sign of pink on the log in page and pink started as soon as either the browser or email apps were activated. It does go across all programs - I cannot isolate it to any one program, so I suspect it is not a program specific issue.
    I am not a techie, just a user, so if the reply can be in simple to understand language that would be appreciated. The machine is under warranty, however I am trying to avoid downtime for repair which is critical if possible.
    Thanks for your help

    Hi Fletch,
    Did you connect an external monitor to your notebook? With this external device you can identify the reason of this issue. That means if the external monitor works properly, it seems to be related to the internal display that must be changed.
    As Jeka-IL wrote, contact nearest authorized service provider in your country. The guys will try to help you and if your notebook is under warranty, the repair is for free.

  • Macbook Pro Retina keeps shutting down during graphics intensive work

    Today my macbook began shutting down while working with Aperture, Photoshop and while playing Borderlands 2.  This hasn't happened at all until today. 
    Looking through some suggestions here I have:
    Run 2 hardware tests with no negative results.  Changed the screen resolution.  Turned off Automatic Graphics switching.
    However it keeps crashing - actually crashed 3 times while attempting to start it up last time.  I've reset teh resolution and graphics switching - hoping someone out there may have an idea???  And I'm not using Google Chrome.

    Thanks for any help you're able to give me.

    I'll give it a go Ogelthorpe.  Ran the more intense hour long hardware test last night and then left it shut down overnight.  No results again for the test, but this morning I've run it through a few minutes of borderlands 2 with no shut down.  Strange.  Am fully expecting it to start playing up again though.

  • Display flickering during graphics intense applications

    I'am using a Macbook Pro late 2011 having intel i7 processor and  AMD radeon HD 6750M and 4gb RAM..
    I had installed windows 7 through bootcamp and used it to play graphics intense games.. worked fine
    After a while i installed different drivers for the graphics processor for ATI website, it did not perform well and after a while(means after days) it started getting a split screen and eventually went blank... i had to restart the laptop manually.. after a while windows did not boot.. I uninstalled windows and used only osX.. eventually osX(10.9) also got a slipt screen and went blank.. i restarted the laptop manually but the start screen where the apple logo shines had horizontal blue lines... yhe OS did not boot and whene i went to the recovery mode i got a death blue screen(just blue).... I took my laptop to the nearest service center(in india) .. they formatted my hard disc and reinstalled the OS.. they told me it was "an operating system crash" and no problem with the hardware... everthing went fine.. I played another game on OSX and again got the split screen.. i restarted it manually.. everything was fine.. i installed fifa 13 on my mac.. ran pretty well.. later i tried converting a video and got the same problem ...
    I dont know wether it is a software or hardware problem and can i continue playing games on MAC!!??... my free service has expired and service centers here charge a lot and dont do anythimg well!!!!

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    In your case, it is clear that the GPU has failed. It would be a software issue if it only happens in Windows or OS X, but it is a hardware issue if it happens in both operating systems. This was the first thing that happened to me when my iMac's GPU got damaged.
    The problem of the GPU is that it is quite expensive to get it replaced, because the whole logic board has to be replaced. If you cannot afford it and you can start up in OS X, what you can do is to use gfxCardStatus and put it in integrated mode, so your Mac will only use the integrated GPU and you should not experience that problem again. However, you will notice a performance decrease in games

    Hi everyone,
    I've got a little problem:
    My screen randomly turns pinks and then starts flickering and then a few moments later it stops for a few minutes and then begins the process again.  I have no idea how it began. I have a MacBook Pro 10.6.8.
    It would be great if anyone knew how to solve this answer.
    With regards,
    Jean-Pierre

    Apple Hardware Test doesn't catch everything, so even if it doesn't find a problem, you could have one.

  • After download of os 8.2 screen turned pink and blue and flickers

    After downloading os 8.2 background screen turned to pink and blue and flickers.    resetting ipad2 does not solve problem.

    Hey there Harold499,
    I understand that you are experiencing some issues with your iPad screen. I have an article for you that will help you troubleshoot this issue a little further:
    If you see a solid color screen (black, white or blue)
    Plug in your device to a power source. If you see the low-battery screen when you plug in, let your device charge for at least 10 minutes (20 minutes for iPad) before using it.
    Reset your device while it's plugged in.
    If resetting doesn’t fix the issue, restore your device.
    If you still see the issue after you restore, contact Apple Support.
    Get help with the screen on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support

    Since you have already reset the iPad, I would recommend that you start by restoring the iPad, then proceed from there. Take care, and thanks for visiting the Apple Support Communities.

  • RMBP and Freezing during Graphics Intense Applications

    Hi all,
      I have a MBP Retina and whenever I try to run Civilization V or Aperture Full Screen (or anything else that requires switching to the nVidia graphics), my computer completely freezes in place.  This means everything can display on the screen, but everything just stops.  If I was listening to iTunes while doing whatever activity it suddenly stops playing, along with the application I am using.  Mouse is completely frozen.  Is it a software problem?  Should I go spend some time getting it replaced at the Apple Store?
    Thanks.
    -Dave

    Hey Dave,
    I've been experiencing the same exact issue. I also noticed when using an external display that the screen will show some static for a couple seconds then everything will work as intended.
    Were you able to replicate this issue on the Windows partition (if you have one)? The issue is definitely heat related. If I use SMCfancontrol to keep the fans at a higher rpm while gaming or using a graphic intense application, everything is fine.
    I'm trying to figure out how to handle this.
    Thanks,
    Coupe

  • IMac 24" Screen Turned Pink

    20 minutes ago I was sitting whiling away my time on my iMac when all of a sudden the top half of the screen went pink. It was instantaneous. I had been using the Mac for about 90 mins previous to this with no incident. It has rendered vidoes and photos unwatchable. I restarted with no difference.
    It looks like something has gone seriously wrong with the graphics display. I have seen a similar thing once on a friend's laptop and was told it was related to a magnet being passed in front of the screen but there are no magnets in the room or anywhere near the iMac. Nor have there ever been. No other electronic device is on in the room apart from the speaker system which is on standby.
    I'm pretty certain it is a hardware error and will need a repair. It is still only 7 months old. Any advice on how to proceed will be appreciated. As it is the Mac is close to unusable apart from being able to write text on it.
    Thanks in advance

    Richard, If you seriously think that it is a hardware related issue, then the best thing for you to do is call the Apple Care number for your country and open a warranty claim. They will instruct you what to do and refer you to a repair facility.

  • Screen turned pink

    the monitor of my laptop has turned pink. I can see the pages and videos and everything but not in the normal resolution, its as if there is a transparent pink curtain is placed on the monitor. i hav recently put a new 1tb HD while previously it was installed with 500gb HD, which crashed, so the replacement was done. has this by any chance affected the display?

    Hi  ,
    Thank you for visiting the HP Forums! A great place where you can find solutions for your issues, with help from the community!
    I came across your post about the Notebook, and wanted to assist you! I have looked into your issue about your HP Pavilion g6-2226tu Notebook and issues with the pink screen displaying after a HDD repair. Here is a link to a document that will help you troubleshoot the image on screen flickers, has lines or distorted colors. Have you connected a monitor to the Notebook to check if it happens there as well?If this does not display on the Monitor it could be a connection issue with the LCD screen. Please let me know how this goes. Thanks.

  • K7n2 shuts off during graphic intensive programs

    My problem is that sometimes, mainly when I'm running a graphically intensive prgram (mainly games) my computer shuts completley off. This has only hapened when I'm playing a game, like final fantasy XI or unreal 2004.
    I thought it was the ge force, so i turned it from 8x to 4x. i have also had the case opened and a room fan pointed directly in blasting air to keep the temperature down, ause i thought it might be shutting off due to temperature. But today it shut off even with the room fan.

    Wow I'm surprised you'd get as far as you did...glad you got it sorted.
    FYI That's mentioned in the troubleshooting guide at the top of the forum.
