T61P Graphic problems--random shut down, BSOD, Crash

Long story short. When playing 3D games or running graphic intensive applications, T61p tends to randomly power off by itself, crash back to desktop with error message saying display driver stop responding and recovered, or just result in BSOD. In some occation, you will get a BSOD with Memmory parity error. This mostly happens to those who have 2 Dimms of RAM installed in their machine. If one dimm of RAM is removed, the problem seems to go away. In addition, some users sent their thinkpad to depot for a motherboard replacement and that seems to work.
This problems have been reported by a lot of T61p owners at other forums and it has been discussed extensively and we were told that Lenovo is seeking a solution. I am just hoping someone at this forum can give us some new inputs.

From the thread at TPF, there's another system (SnakeJW, is that yours or generalsu's?  can't remember) is on its way in to the engineers for diagnostics.  Hopefully this one will give the engineers the info they need to determine the exact cause.  I'd just wait until the results are in to pursue anything right now.

  • New board new problems (random shut downs)

    Hello all,
    I'm currently trying to track down the most likely source of random complete powerdowns my PC is suffering. They only occur when I attempt to play games, not when I use windows apps like word IE etc.
    First a little background, after a year of reliable service I recently cooked my old motherboard a 865PE Neo2-LS, not sure how but it buzzed unpleasently when the PSU had power.   Anyway, wanting the least hassle when getting a replacement I decided to go for the platinum board of the same chipset. Being a lazy sort (and lacking backup facilities right now) I just replaced the board and powered up to check all was well. The PC booted fine, windows (XP-pro) loads fine, and games played fine for about the first day. (Yup I know,   I'll be doing a clean install once I've backed up but I think I've a bigger problem than a wipe will fix.)
    Now however I seem to be getting crashes in games within a few minutes of play (a complete and abrupt power-down). To me this looks rather like a nasty memory leak I had on a faulty board a with ago, but I've tested my RAM with the windows memory diagnostic tool and all appears well http://oca.microsoft.com/en/windiag.asp, curiously though changing the slot I plug the RAM into seems to help.
    Anyway to cut a long story short I'm going to be doing a wipe down and re-install shortly, but I've a feeling the problem is more fundamental, so I'm starting a thread to fish for a few suggestions. Particually I'm concerned that I may have fried my graphics card (though I get no graphical errors), or other additional components so if anyone thinks the problem sounds like a particular piece of hardware is borked let me know so I can focus on checking it out.
    Any and all help much appreciated, cheers,
    Gift.

    Hello again,
    Thanks for the advice on the PSU, I was just about to ask what brand I should get, I've decided to copy you Del and ordered an enermax.   Somewhat stupidly I didn't even think about the PSU when I put my rig together a year ago, got way to interested in the shiney new hardware and took my eye off the ball. I suspect it's what cost me my motherboard   I'm such a dope.... Ah well I'll know next time.
    In the interim I've disconnected one of my HDs to try and ease the strain on the PSU, I don't want a repeat cooking but I do need my PC for work. That taken into consideration I thought the risk management would be the most sensible compromise.
    Anyway thanks to both you and Sharpe, (the other memtest was fine btw ), I'll let you know how I get on; you've been very helpful.
    Cheers,
    Gift.
    PS What is a good PSU spec at the mo?

  • When I was editing a picture that I reposted on instagram, I hit the edit button and then a white screen appears and randomly shuts down. I have also noticed that my iPod has been crashing about every single 30 minutes!

    When I was editing a picture that I reposted on instagram, I hit the edit button and then a white screen appears and randomly shuts down. I have also noticed that my iPod has been crashing about every single 30 minutes! Please help!

    The iPod crashing when editing a photo is a known bug in iOS 5.1.1.
    For the other problem.
    Try the following:
    - A reset. Nothing is lost
    Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Restore from backup
    - Restore to factory settings/new iPod.
    If you still have the problem that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order

  • IMac Random Shut Down Problem

    I having a problem where my iMac will randomly shut down without warning. Doesn't matter what app I'm using. The weird thing is that it ONLY happens after it has gone through a sleep/wake cycle. It doesn't happen after doing a cold start. The random shutdown happens anywhere from 30 secs to 30 mins after waking. I've tried the SMC reset, didn't help.
    It is really starting to be a pain because I prefer to put it to sleep instead of shutting it off. Please help.

    I'm having same problem. Random shut downs are truly random with shut down interval changing from 2 seconds to 20 minutes or more. I've tried everything, including reset SMU, PRAM, disk diagnostics. Disk checks out. I also deleted the com.apple.PowerManagement.plist file, then reset SMU again. No go!
    From what I have read seems like a power supply issue. I guess I've got a good run since buying this iMac in Aug 2005. I read on another thread that www.synaptech.com has reliable replacements.
    If anyone has any other ideas, then please share!
    thanks and good luck!

  • Another Start Up/Random Shut Down Problem

    Ok, so I know there are a million threads aleady about this, but I really cant seem to find someone who has a real good suggestion, if there is any...So I have a Mac Book 512/60GB and have had the random shut down thing happen a few times. One time (today actualy) I couldnt start up. I pushed the button about 5 times and the light came on and then turned right off. I waited a little bit and then it worked. Twice when this happened and after I started up the light for the iSight stayed on and the camera didnt work until I restarted. I was in iChat using Vid chat when this happened. I was thinking about making a genius bar appointment to see what their advice was because my local store seems to be up to date on most things and this seems to be a big problem, but I figured I would check on here first. Does anyone have an actual solution that has worked for them???
    Thanks a lot

    Mac Book   Mac OS X (10.4.7)   2Ghz, 512 RAM, 60GB

    Well the Genius bar ppl were great as always. They told me they could do it in-store but it would take more than 4 days and it seems that people have been getting theirs back fairly quick. I backed up everything on my iBook and had the macbook shipped to my school, so hopefully it will beat me there. He told me they have seen several of these, but when I tried to get details they seemed a little hush hush and confused. The common agreement from the geniuses was that it was a logic bored issue and thats what he wrote on the work authorization, i also need a topcase replacement as there is obvious discoloration. Im gona assume that they do run additional tests and not just follow what the "genius" says, if it is not the logic board that is causing the probs...right? When I get my macbook will it say the work that was done on it?? Hopefully this will be fixed, because a random shutdown macbook is baisicly a useless macbook when you use it all the time in school.

  • IMac Randomly Shuts Down -Overheating Problem?

    I've posted in these forums once before about my iMac randomly shutting down. I believed I had solved the problem by following another users instructions which were as follows:
    "Machines that are just randomly shutting down are usually caused by defective hardware. The only thing that can be done about that is to call Apple and have it replaced or serviced. There is probably not any one particular solution as it could be any number of the internal components failing and the resulting symptoms could be the same.
    If you'd like to do some hardware tests yourself before calling Apple that can be done. First try resetting the SMC: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=303446
    Next insert the original gray install disk, restart your iMac, then hold down the "d" key until it boots up into the Apple Hardware Test. Run the extended test.
    Also if you have Apple Care install TechTool Deluxe from the cd provided. Then run TechTool on your system."
    I also removed and replaced of a defective external HD that I thought my be causing problems. But after all these steps, the machine kept turning itself off.
    I had read in some forums that it was due to the internal temperature of the iMac. So I downloaded smcfancontrol 2.1 and increased the fan speed on the internal fans. This did bring down the temperature as revealed by the iStat Pro widget. However, I still had another shutdown.
    So I turned off the machine, went to bed, and this morning when I turned it on iStat Pro said these were the internal temperatures of the iMac:
    CPU A 77 degrees F
    GPU 85
    GPU Diode 88
    GPU Heatsink 85
    Ambient 61
    Memory Cont. 74
    Airport Card 112
    HD Bay 1 76
    I find these numbers to be unbelievable. Especially the airport card. When the whole system seemed to be running hot, the Airport Card said it was 122. It always says something above 100 degrees. The other temperatures also seem out of whack. How can the CPU be 77 degrees after 10 hours of being completely powered down in an office environment that is only 55 degrees?
    Has anyone else run into a similar problem?
    Has anyone else found the problem to be a faulty temperature sensor (and is there a way to reset it, or does it have to be replaced)?
    Overheated? in Oregon...

    Certainly sounds like a case of the left hand not knowing from the right, huh
    Well, I have my call in, and I am getting onsite service to replace the logic board, as per Apple's recommendation.
    I'm reading the other longer thread (171 replies), and it's disheartening to hear how some of the "geniuses" are handling this problem. They can't replicate it by leaving the mac running overnight, so "the problem doesn't exist". Hello! It's *random*! As in, not easy to replicate!
    I'm also a bit disillusioned that the popular Mac sites (TUAW, etc) haven't picked up on this story yet. I emailed TUAW the link to the long thread, and they ignore it. Usually when this gets more "mainstream" press, then Apple finally steps up, acknowledges a problem, and serious fixes are made. Right now, it's a bunch of complainers (me included) in some threads on the Apple site.
    I took a huge leap last November, and went from PCs to the Mac platform, after working on my personal migration plans for a month prior - how to move from my photo editing on the PC to the Mac (I wasn't about to buy another full copy of Photoshop, for eg, but I did find out I could upgrade from Win PS to Mac PS), if all the programs I use for photography and design were available on the Mac, learning the ins and outs of shortcut keys, how things are done, etc etc, and was so happy initially when I got the Mac and said goodbye to the PC.
    Now I'm literally afraid to do any serious work on the Mac for fear of the "pulled plug" syndrome losing the last 20, 30 minutes of work I've been doing because I didn't save every 2 minutes. And iLife's Pages doesn't autosave (much to my chagrin), so I've lost some long correspondence and articles typed because I didn't save it before the pulled plug o' death.
    Not a very nice computing experience.
    As a suggestion, maybe everyone reading this and the other thread can flood TUAW.com with a news suggestion to cover this problem. Engadget, Gizmodo too while you're at it. I think once these million-viewers a day blogs cover it, we'll see some real action from Apple.
    Just a thought....

  • Satellite P755 random shut down problems

    Hi,
    I just bought my laptop couple of months ago and haven't really been using it much since.
    So it doesn't have more than 100 working hours.
    Couple of weeks ago I started experiencing this strange problem with random shutting down.
    There is no rule when it happens, sometimes it shuts down after a minute of working and sometimes it shuts down only after couple of hours. It goes to a full software shut down, but sometimes it goes to hibernation instead.
    This happens both when charger is connected and when it's not connected.
    So, using my laptop is currently pretty impossible. Also warranty is not an option for me as I bought it abroad.
    I read somewhere that a person had a problem with power button and that it "pressed" it self automatically, and one more thing that's happening to me is that sometimes laptop powers itself on only by opening lid and not pressing power button at all.
    So, can it be that issue, and if it is what's the best way to fix it?
    So, please help with any ideas or if somebody had the same problem before, I would really like to use my laptop and this way it is impossible.
    Thanks

    I solved the problem, so for anyone who could be experiencing similar problems.
    As I thought it was really up to power button. When I took laptop apart and tried the real power button beneath plastic one, it would someone trigger itself only by slightly touching it and not doing a full press (hearing click).
    So, I guess that little plastic tip on the real plastic button that was touching it slowly constantly would trigger the button randomly and trigger random shut downs.
    Actual solution is that I rasped that little plastic tip from the power button, so it's not touching the real power button anymore. Only thing now is that you need to press power button little deeper to actually turn on laptop (it's more natural now in my opinion).
    Anyway, laptop is working now, it worked without stopping for whole three days.
    When I talk to other people about this fix, nobody believes that it's fixed with rasp.

  • Mac braggs no crash, but random Shut Down

    I enjoy my wk 22 BMB it was working great until yest. now random shut downs. I did full reinstall seemed to work ok, but it happened again. It seemed to happen soon after I installed the coredue temp software. Don't know if this is coincidental, or just circumstantial. Will Apple please fix all our macbooks. These random shut downs are becoming a huge plague. PC might not be as nice, but they don't shut down every other hour.

    I just wanted to add my voice to this problem too. I have a new black MacBook and I have had it since they were first introduced. Everything was fine until last week. All of a sudden I have these random shut downs. I have called AppleCare tech support and gone to this genius bar twice. No one there had even acknowledged this problem. When it is a huge problem. Yesterday, finally, they told me they know. They have not come up with an answer yet. I have read that people have had their logic boards replaced 3 times and nothing had changed.
    I am very upset but I know Apple will make good on this, once they figure out why this is happening. Just a major inconvenience of modern times and technology.
    One other thing, this is not just happening to a few people, like someone suggested. It is a very real problem with a lot of MacBooks. I think the newer ones are okay from what I have been told. It's the early ones....like mine...that have this issue.
    The MacBook, by the way, is an awesome computer. I love it. Apple will find a fix. It just might take a little while.

  • Mid 2010 15" Macbook Pro Random Shut down and Restart

    I know this questions have more than likely come up a few times. But I have a mid 2010 15" Macbook pro that, for the last year, has randomly shut-down and restated displaying an error message each time. I have had this computer into three different computer repair shops over the last few months, two of which were apple certified, and have had a range of reasons provided for the issue. Anything from Motherboard to hard drive to virus. I have replaced the hard drive, did a complete reformat three times, and downgraded my OSX. But I still have the same issue. I recently came across some support tickets referring to an issue with this model of Mac, something to do with the graphics card. I downloaded a program that was supposed to be a work around, but am still having shutdown issues. I also heard that apple did a free replacement of the motherboard on these machines within 3 yeas of purchase. Obviously I am past that point, but I was hoping that there would be some other suggestions. I have ran an etrecheck on my machine and have attached it below. Can anyone provided any ideas of how I can fix this without having to buy a new motherboard?
    Thanks for the help...

    I know this questions have more than likely come up a few times. But I have a mid 2010 15" Macbook pro that, for the last year, has randomly shut-down and restated displaying an error message each time. I have had this computer into three different computer repair shops over the last few months, two of which were apple certified, and have had a range of reasons provided for the issue. Anything from Motherboard to hard drive to virus. I have replaced the hard drive, did a complete reformat three times, and downgraded my OSX. But I still have the same issue. I recently came across some support tickets referring to an issue with this model of Mac, something to do with the graphics card. I downloaded a program that was supposed to be a work around, but am still having shutdown issues. I also heard that apple did a free replacement of the motherboard on these machines within 3 yeas of purchase. Obviously I am past that point, but I was hoping that there would be some other suggestions. I have ran an etrecheck on my machine and have attached it below. Can anyone provided any ideas of how I can fix this without having to buy a new motherboard?
    Thanks for the help...
    Cheers,

  • My iMac (27-Inch, 2012) is randomly shutting down

    Hello,
    Wanted to ask here before I bring my iMac in.
    I'm having an issue with my iMac randomly shutting down from what seems like a KERNEL PANIC.
    I haven't been able to pin down what is causing the shutdowns/kernel panic.
    We usually leave this iMac on 24/7 since we use it with Apple TV.
    I started noticing about a month ago coming back to the computer after a few hour I would log in and I would get a window asking to restore my apps because
    the computer had shut down due to some error/problem.  I will usually submit the report to Apple when asked to do so.
    It's now happening much more frequently. I'd say about every hour or so. Even when I'm using the computer after a while it'll start to feel sluggish, almost like a quarter to half second delay for mouse and keyboard commands. Then after about 10 minutes it slows down even more until "POOF" black screen....then Kernel Panic grey screen asking me to press a key to restart.  It seems to happen regardless of the application I am using.
    At first I thought it was one of my USB hard drives or USB HUB that was causing the issue but last night i unmounted all drives and peripherals (except mouse and keyboard) to see if that helped.  Woke up this morning to the same login after Kernel Panic / shutdown.
    Repaired Disk Permissions then ran apple hardware test this morning. said everything was working correctly. Problem still persists.
    Any help/insight would be greatly appreciated (CPU info + Sys Dialog Report below)

    Your problem is likely due to
    com.paceap.kext.pacesupport.snowleopard 5.9.1
    I would recommend tracking down the app that uses this and unionist all it completely from  your computer. Also if you have upgraded the RAM on the machine you may have a RAM falling DIMM or it may have become unseated or it might not be the correct specs for your machine.

  • IMac mid-2011 randomly shuts down.

    Hello,
    My iMac was fine until yesterday. It all of a sudden started randomly shutting down. It looks like a power loss. As if i just pulled the power out of the wall outlet.
    After it shuts down, the fans start up again but the screen does not come on. (so it's just the fans blowing) I have to "force shutdown" it from this state by holding the power button in order for the computer to start up again.
    Things I have already done:
    1. Reset PRAM
    2. Reset SMC (by unplugging it for an hour)
    3. Run disk utility, fix the disk permissions etc.
    4. Run the extended apple hardware check. (all checks out fine.)
    5. remove my Kensington RAM (leaving just the samsung ram in there)
    6. Remove the samsung RAM (leaving just the Kensington ram in there)
    7. Use another wall outlet, does not change anything.
    8. I ran a program called memTest to check the RAM. It all checks out fine.
    The RAM that i have bought has been in there for at least a year... So I don't think that that is the problem. It was the specially for iMac RAM. So it's not just some random RAM.
    I have unplugged all external peripherals. Still does the same thing. If I look into the folder where kernel logs are saved there are none that match the times of shutdown. (also none close to it)
    My model is the:
    21.5 inch 2.7 GHz Intel i5 with Radeon HD6770M graphics card.
    As it's a pretty old pc i no longer have warranty or anything like it...

    The machine is as clean as it can be. I even cleaned out the RAM ports (while replacing the RAM) Of course I did not check INSIDE the computer, but there is no way to get in without voiding warranty as far as I know. The environment is just regular room. Normal humidity, normal everything.
    As for how old. Its the Mid-2011 21.5 inch model bought in october 2011-ish.
    I have some new interesting findings. I reset the PRAM for the gazillionth time and the temperature sensors were back. So everything seemed ok again. The weird thing is though... It booted once with the PRAM messed up (fans blowing on max) and I decided to leave it that way to see if it was doing anything. It stayed on for an hour. Then I decided to turn it off and reset the PRAM. After the reset the problem was back. Within 5 minutes of booting it shut down again.
    I'm really baffled by this. The temperature sensors all check out normal. (they're all 30-40 degrees) But the fact that it stayed on so long with messed up PRAM makes me believe the problem doesnt have anything to do with power supply or something like that... It might be in the PRAM itself. Would a reinstall of OS X fix anything? (I will be having a hard time getting my data off of the pc tho...)

  • Macbook randomly shuts down after installing Mountain Lion.

    I have a late 2008 Aluminum Macbook; as of last week I have installed Mountain Lion finally and I've come across a rather irritating problem: the laptop keeps randomly shutting down. I've noticed it primarily likes to go down when the battery is at 89%. I've never had battery trouble before, this happens even when the computer is not over-heating, so I'm fairly certain it's not a battery issue. After restarting the computer all the applications I was using are still open and any progression I had made on documents have been saved since the time of the crash.
    I'm really at a loss as to what's going on with this. Has anyone experienced something like this or have any suggestions as to how to fix this?

    Hi ppl again :)
    I found that screen is not disabled, it is only have a very low brightness. So I begin to wait because I saw that actually installer is still running. Finally, Mas OS was installed and after that I change brightness using keyboard (it didn't worked while installation). Now all is ok. I also tried to reboot and system loaded correctly.
    I hope this will help. Unfortunatelly Apple support was unable to help me by a phone call.
    Have a nice day!

  • Why is my macbook pro randomly shutting down and restarting?

    My macbook pro is randomly shutting down and restarting. It started a couple days ago and seems to happen completely randomly. I did a extended hardware test and no problems were found. I reset the SMC and that didn’t work. Battery is charged and I don’t think its overheating. Im using Mavericks 10.9.1. Someone please help because I can’t even use my mac for anything lately and its really annoying.

    If you have more than one user account, these instructions must be carried out as an administrator.
    Launch the Console 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 Console in the icon grid.
    Step 1
    Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
    View ▹ Show Log List
    from the menu bar.
    Enter "BOOT_TIME" (without the quotes) in the search box. Note the timestamps of those log messages, which refer to the times when the system was booted. Now clear the search box and scroll back in the log to the last boot time after  you had the problem. Select the messages logged before the boot, while the system was unresponsive or was failing to shut down. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message (command-V). Please include the BOOT_TIME message at the end of the log extract.
    If there are runs of repeated messages, post only one example of each. Don’t post many repetitions of the same message.
    When posting a log extract, be selective. In most cases, a few dozen lines are more than enough.
    Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
    Important: Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.
    Step 2
    Still in Console, look under System Diagnostic Reports for crash or panic logs, and post the entire contents of the most recent one, if any. In the interest of privacy, I suggest you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if present (it may not be.) Please don’t post any other kind of report — it will be very long and not helpful.

  • IMac 2010 randomly shutting down, only reboots when power cable is unplugged and replugged

    Specs
    It's a stock 21.5inch iMac mid-2010, with the addition of some extra RAM - two more 4gb sticks bringing it up to a total 12gb - that I've had installed for roughly 6 months with no problems.
    No problems with my Mac since we bought it from the Apple Store until the last couple of days when this started happening. I don't have AppleCare and obviously I'm out of warranty.
    Problem
    Seemingly random shut downs. I've tried to work out if it's to do with overheating, but I've been playing some graphically intensive games today and that hasn't killed it. The strangest thing is that most of the shut downs are when it's not even in use - the next time I sit down to use it it has been turned off.
    I don't think this is a software problem as it's been happening on the OSX and Windows partitions.
    Nothing happens when I press the power button until I unplug the power cable, wait a few seconds, plug it back in again then press the power button. This makes me wonder if it's a problem with the power cable? Any tests I could run?
    Any ideas? Tests I can run? Or is it a lost cause?
    Thanks in advance!

    After further testing, it seems to only be powering back on if I leave it unplugged for about 20 seconds. Is this something to do with resetting the SMC?

  • Random Shut Down & Wont Start Up

    For some reason, my computer has randomly shut down 2 times and has been unable to start up 2 times as well. I just bought this MacBook Pro a few days ago and previously had a PC. Is there something I might be doing wrong to cause this or does anyone know if there is a fix /problem I am unaware with. Any help/advice would be extremely appreciated!

    That isn't really a shutdown. That is more of a crash. There are problems that cause a complete shutdown of the computer.
    When this happens, is the latch LED on?
    The console application is in the Utilities folder found in your /Applications folder. Or you can use the Finder menu, Go->Utilities. To make sure you are looking at the console log, click on the Logs button and choose console.log in the left side panel. The system.log can also have useful information about the problem.
