A few days ago, my iMac became weirdly sluggish. For example, webpages are taking 15-20 seconds to render, programs take a minute or two to open (while the icon is bouncing in the dock), files take a long time to copy to a new folder, etc.
Starting up from the CDs and running Disk Utility showed no problems, although it took a long time to process the hard drive.
I've also tried resetting the pram, which did nothing.
Any sugestions would be appreciated, thanks!Hello and Welcome to Apple Discussions.
Could you please single click on Macintosh HD and then choose Get Info from the File Menu. Please post back with the Capacity, Available and Used values.
It's my experience that the most common cause of a sudden slowdown where nothing appears to have changed is the lack of free hard disk space.
Any OS needs room to breathe and you should leave about 15% of your total free.

Sluggish iMac performance; maintenance help needed
I have a 21.5 inch, mid-2011 iMac with 12 GB memory and a 1 Tb drive (660 GB free). Have upgraded to Mavericks, and the iMac is running slow (although it was sluggish prior to the upgrade).
Am looking for advice on how to get things sped up a bit. I have removed some unneeded startup items. And have run EtreCheck with results as follows. Have also repaired permissions and verifed disk. All seems to be in order.
Can anyone offer additional hints on performance improvments before I go with a clean install?

0 B Page-outsI don't see anything obvious that would be causing your Mac slowdowns.
You need to update all of your third party software if there are OS X Mavericks updates that can be applied. You may need to go the third party developers' websites if there are no updates through the Mac App Store.
Update all of your Web browser Internet plugins, also.
Also, if you have any third party devices, like keyboards, mice, drawing tablets, hubs, card readers, etc, you need to update the drivers for these devices to OS X Mavericks compatible versions.
Good Luck! -
Slow / Sluggish iMac after Software Update
After recently running Software Update on my iMac, every program is now running extremely slow. My iMac is slow to start-up, and importing files into iTunes and iPhoto seemingly takes forever! Basically any function that must access the hard drive is now acting very sluggish.
I am using an iMac with a 2.16 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo processor, and 3 GB of RAM (the max for this model). The versions of software installed are: OS X 10.6.8, Safari 5.1, iTunes 10.4, and iPhoto '11 ver. 9.1.5.
Is there anything about these recent software updates that could explain why accessing the hard drive is now very slow? BTW there is no indication that Spotlight is still indexing.Please detail all you have done to resolve your issue. Need this information so that the users can avoid the "been there, done that" scenario type responses. This is to avoid repeating the troubleshooting you may have already tried. Thank you.
For instance: Did you repair permissions and restart your computer after updating? -
I have a iMac 2008, 3.06 GHZ, Core 2 Duo, running 10.7 with 6 GB of RAM and a 500 GB HDD.
I have experience slowness when running Lion so I created a bootable external HDD and switch to the external HDD as my startup disk. I have experience in doing this, that the system runs faster on start up, programs load faster and webpages load faster when using my external HDD as the start up disk.
Could my iMac be having some HDD problems in that's why it runs slow?
Is the processor too slow on the iMac?
Any thoughts would be appreciated?Well I have a 2GHz 2GB, RAM, 120GB HD MacBook Pro and it's fast enough for me.
Have you used Activity Monitor to review what is running?
Regards,
Shawn -
Sluggish iMac - should I reformat?
Is a reformat recommended or are there alternatives?
I use Time Machine to back up from, but am I likely to lose iCloud etc settings if I do a full reformat? Also, is there a need to reformat every 6 months as I remember I used to with the old PowerMac?If you don't already have a current backup, back up all data before doing anything else. This procedure is a diagnostic test. It changes nothing, for better or worse, and therefore will not, in itself, solve your problem. The backup is necessary on general principle, not because of anything suggested in this comment. There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional. Ask if you need guidance.
Third-party system modifications are a common cause of usability problems. By a “system modification,” I mean software that affects the operation of other software — potentially for the worse. The procedure will help identify which such modifications you've installed, as well as some other aspects of the configuration that may be related to the problem.
Don’t be alarmed by the seeming complexity of these instructions — they’re easy to carry out. Here's a brief summary: In each of two steps, you copy a line of text from this web page into a window in another application. You wait about a minute. Then you paste some other text, which will have been copied automatically, back into a reply on this page. The sequence is copy; paste; paste again. That's all there is to it. Details follow.
You may have started the computer in "safe" mode. Preferably, these steps should be taken while booted in “normal” mode. If the system is now running in safe mode and is bootable in normal mode, reboot as usual. If it only boots in safe mode, use that.
Below are instructions to enter UNIX shell commands. They do nothing but produce human-readable output. However, you need to think carefully before running any program at the behest of a stranger on a public message board. If you question the safety of the procedure suggested here — which you should — search this site for other discussions in which it’s been followed without any report of ill effects. If you can't satisfy yourself that these instructions are safe, don't follow them.
The commands will line-wrap or scroll in your browser, but each one is really just a single long line, all of which must be selected. You can accomplish this easily by triple-clicking anywhere in the line. The whole line will highlight, and you can then copy it.
If you have more than one user account, Step 2 must be taken as an administrator. Ordinarily that would be the user created automatically when you booted the system for the first time. Step 1 should be taken as the user who has the problem, if different. Most personal Macs have only one user, and in that case this paragraph doesn’t apply.
Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
When you launch Terminal, a text window will open with a line already in it, ending either in a dollar sign (“$”) or a percent sign (“%”). If you get the percent sign, enter “sh” and press return. You should then get a new line ending in a dollar sign.
Step 1
Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it:
PB=/usr/libexec/PlistBuddy; PR () { [[ "$o" ]] && o=$(sed 's/^/ /' <<< "$o") && printf '\n%s:\n\n%s\n' "$1" "$o"; }; PC () { o=$(grep [^[:blank:]] "$2"); PR "$1"; }; PF () { o=$($PB -c Print "$2" | awk -F'= ' \/$3'/{print $2}'); PR "$1"; }; PN () { [[ $o -eq 0 ]] || printf "\n%s: %s\n" "$1" $o; }; { system_profiler SPSoftwareDataType | sed '8!d;s/^ *//'; o=$(system_profiler SPDiagnosticsDataType | sed '5,6!d'); fgrep -q P <<< "$o" && o=; PR "POST"; o=$(($(vm_stat | awk '/Pageo/{sub("\\.",""); print $2}')/256)); o=$((o>=1024?o:0)); PN "Pageouts (MiB)"; s=( $(sar -u 1 10 | sed '$!d') ); [[ ${s[4]} -lt 90 ]] && o=$( printf 'User %s%%\t\tSystem %s%%' ${s[1]} ${s[3]} ) || o=; PR "Total CPU usage"; [[ "$o" ]] && o=$(ps acrx -o comm,ruid,%cpu | sed '2!d'); PR "Max %CPU by process (name, UID, %)"; o=$(kextstat -kl | grep -v com\\.apple | cut -c53- | cut -d\< -f1); PR "Loaded extrinsic kernel extensions"; o=$(launchctl list | sed 1d | awk '!/0x|com\.apple|org\.(x|openbsd)|\.[0-9]+$/{print $3}'); PR "Loaded extrinsic user agents"; o=$(launchctl getenv DYLD_INSERT_LIBRARIES); PR "Inserted libraries"; PC "cron configuration" /e*/cron*; o=$(crontab -l | grep [^[:blank:]]); PR "User cron tasks"; PC "Global launchd configuration" /e*/lau*; PC "Per-user launchd configuration" ~/.lau*; PF "Global login items" /L*/P*/loginw* Path; PF "Per-user login items" L*/P*/*loginit* Name; PF "Safari extensions" L*/Saf*/*/E*.plist Bundle | sed 's/\..*$//;s/-[1-9]$//'; o=$(find ~ $TMPDIR.. \( -flags +sappnd,schg,uappnd,uchg -o ! -user $UID -o ! -perm -600 \) | wc -l); PN "Restricted user files"; cd; o=$(find -L /S*/L*/E* {,/}L*/{A*d,Compon,Ex,In,Keyb,Mail/Bu,P*P,Qu,Scripti,Servi,Spo}* -type d -name Contents -prune | while read d; do ID=$($PB -c 'Print :CFBundleIdentifier' "$d/Info.plist") || ID=; ID=${ID:-No bundle ID}; egrep -qv "^com\.apple\.[^x]|Accusys|ArcMSR|ATTO|HDPro|HighPoint|driver\.stex|hp-fax|JMicron|microsoft\.MDI|print|SoftRAID" <<< $ID && printf '%s\n\t(%s)\n' "${d%/Contents}" "$ID"; done); PR "Extrinsic loadable bundles"; o=$(find /u*/{,*/}lib -type f -exec sh -c 'file -b "$1" | grep -qw shared && ! codesign -v "$1"' {} {} \; -print); PR "Unsigned shared libraries"; o=$(system_profiler SPFontsDataType | egrep "Valid: N|Duplicate: Y" | wc -l); PN "Font problems"; for d in {,/}L*/{La,Priv,Sta}*; do o=$(ls -A "$d"); PR "$d"; done; } 2> /dev/null | pbcopy; echo $'\nStep 1 done'
Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Then click anywhere in the Terminal window and paste (command-V). I've tested these instructions only with the Safari web browser. If you use another browser, you may have to press the return key after pasting.
The command may take up to a few minutes to run, depending on how many files you have and the speed of the computer. Wait for the line "Step 1 done" to appear below what you entered. The output of the command will beautomatically copied to the Clipboard. All you have to do is paste into a reply to this message by pressing command-Vagain. Please don't copy anything from the Terminal window. No typing is involved in this step.
Step 2
Remember that you must be logged in as an administrator for this step. Do as in Step 1 with this line:
PR () { [[ "$o" ]] && o=$(sed 's/^/ /' <<< "$o") && printf '\n%s:\n\n%s\n' "$1" "$o"; }; { o=$(sudo launchctl list | sed 1d | awk '!/0x|com\.(apple|openssh|vix\.cron)|org\.(amav|apac|calendarse|cups|dove|isc|ntp|post[fg]|x)/{print $3}'); PR "Loaded extrinsic daemons"; o=$(sudo defaults read com.apple.loginwindow LoginHook); PR "Login hook"; o=$(sudo crontab -l | grep [^[:blank:]]); PR "Root cron tasks"; o=$(syslog -k Sender kernel -k Message CReq 'GPU |hfs: Ru|I/O e|find tok|n Cause: -|NVDA\(|pagin|timed? ?o' | tail -n25 | awk '/:/{$4=""; print}'); PR "Log check"; } 2>&- | pbcopy; echo $'\nStep 2 done'
This time you'll be prompted for your login password, which you do have to type. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. Type it carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. Heed that warning, but don't post it. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator.
You can then quit Terminal. Please note:
☞ Steps 1 and 2 are all copy-and-paste — type only your login password when prompted.
☞ When you type your password, you won't see what you're typing.
☞ If you don’t have a password, set one before taking Step 2. If that’s not possible, skip the step.
☞ Step 2 might not produce any output, in which case the Clipboard will be empty. Step 1 will always produce something.
☞ The commands don't change anything, and merely running them will do neither good nor harm.
☞ Remember to post the output of both steps (unless you had to skip Step 2.) It's already in the Clipboard after you complete each step. You don't have to copy it. Just paste into a reply
☞ If any personal information, such as your name or email address, appears in the output of either command, anonymize it before posting. Usually that won't be necessary.
☞ Don't post what you see in the Terminal window. The output is copied automatically to the Clipboard.
☞ Don't paste the output of Step 1 into the Terminal window. Paste it into a reply. -
IMac 5k Fullscreen Terminal/Opacity Slow & Sluggish
Hi,
i have a weird issue with my new iMac 5k that i have narrowed down specifically to the size of windows with opacity.
The issue at first was not very clear, but at certain points when using my iMac 5k, the whole computer would get sluggish. Memory usage was mimimal (its got 32gb ram) and so was CPU usage (top i7), but things like new browser tabs, switching between finder and another application just by clicking it in the background, mission control etc. were all very slow in responding. The issue would not go away until i restarted my computer.
After a day of trying to investigate what was causing the issue, i managed to narrow it down to Terminal. I have a home-brew theme with 90% opacity set, and i worked out that as soon as i resize the terminal window to fill at least 70% of the screen, the sluggish issue would start. The problem is that even when i quit terminal it would continue. The only fix would be a restart.
I use terminal all the time, so the clear fix for the issue is to change to a theme without opacity (which i have done), but there must be some problem going on in the background if i can't have a basic window filling more than 70% of the screen with any sort of opacity. I realise the 5k has to power a lot more pixels, but wanted to check that its not some other issue.
Thanks
AliApplications on Retina display can be toggled to run in Low Resolution. Select the Terminal icon, open the get info panel and tick "Open in Low Resolution".

IMac is very slow and sluggish, keeps churning when editing files or on internet
My iMac is running slow and sluggish, it takes several minutes to edit a word document or search the internet ... intermittently it runs great but productivity is near zero when to edit a sentence in a Word document takes several minutes. When typing an email the cursor stops and if you keep typing it eventually fills in what was typed even though you can't see it when typing. Ran Etrecheck ... report is attached.

My iMac has been sluggish for a long time; finally got around to posting here for help!
I've tried using Onyx to clean it up and it helped a little, but it seems as if everything freezes up and forget about mail; I use apple mail with gmail (google docs) and it is constantly indexing, etc. I need to use the web browser to answer email and it's just not what I want from apple.
Please help!
Thanks

Late 2010 iMac Running Sluggish and Loud-PLS HELP
I have only found one or two threads relating to my specific problem, and I still need more help. Anyone's help (...Linc Davis) would be very much appreciated.
First off, let me tell you what I am running.
Late 2010 model iMac (3.2 GHz intel core). OSX Snow Lion 10.6.8. 4GB Ram. 1TB hard drive (less than half full)
Here is where I have isolated the problem so far.
-Switching between applications is often very sluggish and laggy. It takes up to 10 seconds sometimes to open an appplication.
-Playing audio files with either itunes or preview. Quite often a song will stall for up to 5 or more seconds before playing again
-NOTE occasionally the audio actually cut out for five seconds and then start again later on in the song as opposed to simply stalling.
-Typing in search bars, this action is often sluggish and laggy as well.
-Clicking on icons and links. Example, at the start up window when I clicked on my user account it took about three seconds to bring up the username box
-Fan is working very loudly right from startup, and not slowing down at all.
Here are the solutions I have tried to no avail.
-Ran disk utility, everything came up as ok
-monitered my CPU usage with various problem causing applications. The RAM usage is fine and should be working great, I almost always have more than half freed up RAM
-I replaced the thermal cream around the hard drive because it was over heating a bunch and I also gave it a good clean. This fixed the over heating problem but the laggin still occurs.
-SMC reset (twice). no change.
I don't know what to do next, somebody please help. Do I have any malware? Is my harddrive failing?
p.s. I'm pretty noob to the intricacies of going deep into computers, but I can follow steps and figure out what's going on easy enough.Hello, see how many of these you can answer...
See if the Disk is issuing any S.M.A.R.T errors in Disk Utility...
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH7029
Open Activity Monitor in Applications>Utilities, select All Processes & sort on CPU%, any indications there?
How much RAM & free space do you have also, click on the Memory & Disk Usage Tabs.
Open Console in Utilities & see if there are any clues or repeating messages when this happens.
In the Memory tab, are there a lot of Pageouts? -
Old iMac was sluggish and now won't go past blue screen.
We have a pretty old iMac, it will be 7 years old next month. I totally expect for it to slow down and have issues being that old, but was hoping I could maybe get a few more years out of it for my in-laws. We gave it to them 2 years ago and now it's going downhill. It has been sluggish for quite awhile and now will not turn on past the blue screen. No spinning wheel, just a blue screen and an arrow.
Is there anything we can do? Could we perhaps completely wipe the computer as there is nothing important saved on there? Would that even help? We are probably at the end of it's life here, but just thought I'd come for suggestions first.I suspec the machine has had a hardware failure. If you can run Apple's Hardware Test, you will need the original install discs that shipped with the computer to do this. Run the test in Extended Mode at least 2-3 times back to back. The reason to run it multiple times is AHT is not 100% reliable however if it detects an error the error is correct. If you get an error that means a trip to the local Apple Store or AASP for repair, based on the vintage of the machine I woudl recommend an AASP. If you are aware of AHT then please click Apple's instructions located at:
Using Apple Hardware Test
Good luck! -
My iMac (upgraded to Lion) has been behaving super sluggishly.
My iMac (upgraded to Lion) has been behaving super sluggishly. slow to open my Word docs, Slow to close webtabs,.just so S L O W. Suggestions??
I have already tried restarting... I have very few programs..just the MSOffice App. I did look at a lot of websites (looking for vacation rentals).Well - all of the above were ultimately caused by one thing, of course the one thing I didn't replace - my 5-port Netgear 1Gb switch. Got a replacement and everything is fine. Lion was simply installed at the time the switch failed.

I have an iMac OSX version 10.5.8 It is running very sluggish. How can I re-speed it up?
Hi,
I'm running an iMac OSX version 10.5.8
It's running slow, sluggish. How can I speed it up (as it was when new)?
Thanks.Kappy's Personal Suggestions for OS X Maintenance
For disk repairs use Disk Utility. For situations DU cannot handle the best third-party utilities are: Disk Warrior; DW only fixes problems with the disk directory, but most disk problems are caused by directory corruption; Disk Warrior 4.x is now Intel Mac compatible. TechTool Pro provides additional repair options including file repair and recovery, system diagnostics, and disk defragmentation. TechTool Pro 4.5.1 or higher are Intel Mac compatible; Drive Genius is similar to TechTool Pro in terms of the various repair services provided. Versions 1.5.1 or later are Intel Mac compatible.
OS X performs certain maintenance functions that are scheduled to occur on a daily, weekly, or monthly period. The maintenance scripts run in the early AM only if the computer is turned on 24/7 (no sleep.) If this isn't the case, then an excellent solution is to download and install a shareware utility such as Macaroni, JAW PseudoAnacron, or Anacron that will automate the maintenance activity regardless of whether the computer is turned off or asleep. Dependence upon third-party utilities to run the periodic maintenance scripts had been significantly reduced in Tiger and Leopard. These utilities have limited or no functionality with Snow Leopard and should not be installed.
OS X automatically defragments files less than 20 MBs in size, so unless you have a disk full of very large files there's little need for defragmenting the hard drive. As for virus protection there are few if any such animals affecting OS X. You can protect the computer easily using the freeware Open Source virus protection software ClamXAV. Personally I would avoid most commercial anti-virus software because of their potential for causing problems.
I would also recommend downloading the shareware utility TinkerTool System that you can use for periodic maintenance such as removing old logfiles and archives, clearing caches, etc. Other utilities are also available such as Onyx, Leopard Cache Cleaner, CockTail, and Xupport, for example.
For emergency repairs install the freeware utility Applejack. If you cannot start up in OS X, you may be able to start in single-user mode from which you can run Applejack to do a whole set of repair and maintenance routines from the commandline. Note that AppleJack 1.5 is required for Leopard. AppleJack 1.6 is compatible with Snow Leopard.
When you install any new system software or updates be sure to repair the hard drive and permissions beforehand. I also recommend booting into safe mode before doing system software updates.
Get an external Firewire drive at least equal in size to the internal hard drive and make (and maintain) a bootable clone/backup. You can make a bootable clone using the Restore option of Disk Utility. You can also make and maintain clones with good backup software. My personal recommendations are (order is not significant):
Backuplist
Carbon Copy Cloner
Data Backup
Deja Vu
iBackup
JaBack
Silver Keeper
MimMac
Retrospect
Super Flexible File Synchronizer
SuperDuper!
Synchronize Pro! X
SyncTwoFolders
Synk Pro
Synk Standard
Tri-Backup

Imac PPC G4 sluggish, don't have install discs, any ideas ?
I have an old PPC G4 17" w/ 1 GB DDR SDRAM running 10.5.8 , I do not have any original discs. It has gotten more and more sluggish in spite of the RAM upgrade a few years back.
HArd drive is 75% empty and I ran Onyx routines, any suggestions what I can do to improve performance since I cannot do a fresh reinstall ?
Message was edited by: Chris Ifatoye ThebergeYou may have to get a retail full install DVD for Leopard 10.5 so you may
access the computer from there, and see about running Disk Utility from
the Installer, to Verify the hard disk drive, and also 'repair disk.'
There is supposed to be a way to run fsck in a single-user mode of startup
from the command-line; to help do certain tasks that may otherwise not be
possible if the discs are missing, or if other processes do not work.
It is best if you can perform maintenance with the booted OS X install disc.
• Resolve startup issues and perform disk maintenance with Disk Utility & fsck:
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1417
{A retail Leopard 10.5 install DVD would not include iLife apps, or other
apps which may have accompanied the computer when new, or added
by some other owner with discs no longer with the computer now. An
iLife '06 would probably be most compatible with the iMac G4 & 10.5.8.}
Have you tried booting the computer via SafeBoot mode (shift key held
on startup until you get a starting OS X dialog box or login screen) then
use the system's Disk Utility and have it 'repair disk permissions' on the
Macintosh HD? When done, you restart the computer normally.
• Mac OS X: Starting up in Safe Mode:
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1455
Depending on what iMac G4 model and build you have, it may be able
to support up to 2048MB of RAM if both slots can be upgraded. If your
iMac G4 has at least a 1GHz processor, or is USB2.0, it probably can
use more than the original supported amount of installed RAM capacity.
You may be able to add one 1024MB chip in the lower RAM slot, if
the computer is an iMac G4 1GHz or faster CPU for 1.5GB RAM.
Leopard demands more resources in some computer builds that did well
under Tiger 10.4.11, & in some instances 10.5 may be more problematic.
If you have an external FireWire hard disk drive enclosure with boot-capable
hard drive within it, a self-powered model with its own power adapter, it may
be possible to get and use a Clone utility to make a bootable clone/copy of
your computer's complete hard disk drive, to an external FW HDD, and then
test it, to see if it can run the computer the same as the original in-Mac HD.
With a successful clone of the computer's hard drive to an external FW HDD,
you could consider using the Clone's own Disk Utility (run from clone in the
FW hard disk drive) to secure erase or zero-overwrite and partition map, and
reformat the computer's internal hard disk drive; test & repair it, etc. Then use
the same clone utility (such as Carbon Copy Cloner, etc) to move a clone copy
back into the computer's hard disk drive. Then 'repair disk permissions' on boot
via the clone's Disk Utility, to be sure they are corrected and check out OK.
With an older computer, it may be the internal hard disk drive also may be getting
worn and could be starting to fail. There are third-party disk utilities such as
Drive Genius, and DiskWarrior; these should be of the correct version to help the
computer model and OS version, and not too old or too new for your configuration.
There's just too much to say; especially when your best first effort would be to
have the Leopard 10.5 retail full install DVD to check, test, repair, or replace the
computer's system. And an external FireWire type hard disk drive, which can
support booting OS X and work with clones.
So, there's a lot one could do; if you have access to the tools, even more.
Good luck & happy computing! -
My iMac is sluggish and stalling, needs to be rebooted often? This just happened suddenly last week and now it happens everyday.
Back up all data immediately as your boot drive may be failing.
If you have more than one user account, these instructions must be carried out as an administrator.
Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
syslog -k Sender kernel -k Message CReq 'Chann|GPU D|I/O' | tail | open -ef
Copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C).
Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Paste into the Terminal window (command-V).
The command may take a noticeable amount of time to run. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign (“$”) to appear.
A TextEdit window will open with the output of the command. Normally the window will be empty. If you get output like this:
kernel[0] <Debug>: disk0s2: I/O error
the boot drive is failing, or there's some other hardware fault in the storage subsystem.
If you get output like any of this:
kernel[0] <Debug>: ** GPU Debug Info Start **
kernel[0] <Debug>: ** GPU Debug Info End **
kernel[0] <Debug>: NVDA(Private): Channel timeout!
kernel[0] <Debug>: NVDA(OpenGL): Channel timeout!
there's a fault in the graphics processor or logic board. The two kinds of output are not mutually exclusive, but if you get both, a logic-board fault is likely.
