Terrible Mac Pro graphics glitches and garbling - please help!

Hi all, I have a terrible problem with my early 2008 (8 core) mac pro. Everytime I am editing with final cut, after around 5 minutes, the contents of the screen will start to act very strangely and before I know it, the whole screen is garbled with multicolored shapes and lines (see screenshots below). The system will then completely crash and I will have to hold the power button to shut down. Yesterday, I took it to my local apple store and they put it down to a broken graphics card and fitted a replacement, today its happening again!
Please take a look at the screen shots posted and let me know if any of you have had this problem or if you can help to shed some light on this issue for me.
I'm running an ATI Radeon HD 2600 / snow leopard.

thanks for reading.

Hi, and welcome to the forums! I actually had the same problem though I don't use pro apps. But how I resolved mine was to de-activate that german based overclocking program called ZDnet overclock utility. For you it maybe a different problem. But if I were you, I'd get rid of the 2600 as its a slow card and lacks OPENCL.
In general, I would just pick up a GT120 or 4870 and get rid of the 2600 as its an older card. It seems the 2600 works better under Leopard than in Snow Leopard.

  • 1st gen Mac Pro graphics glitches and unresponsive

    I'm not sure if this is related to
    a) Snow Leopard
    b) Safari 5
    c) something else
    but after recent updates I get graphics glitches, such as in Safari, lines across the browser window, not on particular content, it might be pure HTML (the old kind) and can be flash, or multimedia...
    When using Final Cut (6) I get some weird graphics related errors from time to time, and after hours of editing suddenly my computer stops, becomes "frozen" (I have the clock in the menu bar set to show seconds and they stop) I have to do a hard-reboot to get anything back.
    And the thing that happened now, which makes me post this thread is I was doing some web development, while watching some iTunes U movies, suddenly I had green graphical artifacts over the screen(s) and the computer froze.
    Is anyone else out there experiencing this, perhaps found the source of the problem ?
    My console reports 2 things that doesn't seem too "serious" TimeMachine finished doing a backup successfully and mDNSresponder got a "Bad DDNS browsing domain: (unknown)" just before the latest break down.

    Sorry you're having this issue. It is a common issue and I have it as well. I ended up replacing my card which fixed the problem but, after 6 months, the problem is back.
    There is something nasty with the Mac Pro's and graphic cards it seems. My first card was a NVIDIA GeForce 7300 GT and now I'm having trouble with the ATI Radeon HD 2600.
    I'm trying to get to the bottom of the problem... no luck so far... I'm not interested in replacing the card if it's going to happen again 6 months down the road and I'm not interested in buying a new computer either.
    Any luck with your problem?

  • Which MAC Pro graphics card and how much RAM for FCE HD usage?

    I plan on purchasing a MAC Pro afer MacWorld Expo next month. Any recommendations for a specific graphics card that would complement my usage of Final Cut Express HD 3.5?
    Also, should I increase my RAM? I currently use 2 gb of RAM on my G4. Will I see greater productivity if I bump it up to 4gb of RAM on the MAC Pro or will 2gb suffice which I had planned to increase it to from the standard 1gb supplied?
    PowerMAC G4 dual 1.42ghz Mac OS X (10.4.7) 2gb RAM, 3-LaCie FW800 external drives
    PowerMAC G4 dual 1.42ghz   Mac OS X (10.4.7)   2gb RAM, 3-LaCie FW800 external drives

    Any of the graphics cards that Apple sells for the Mac Pro will be fine. Personally, I'd suggest choosing one with at least 128MB video RAM, 256MB would be better.
    2GB RAM in your Mac Pro will be more than enough for general purpose video editing. Going to 4GB will give you more oomph for RealTime effects and somewhat for rendering but you won't see a big difference in regard to capturing or general editing in the timeline.

  • Mac Pro  Graphics card and Motion 5

    I purchased my Mac Pro in 2007,  It is 2x 2.66 GHz dual core with 12 GB 667 MHz DDR2 F8-DIMM
    My grahpics card is Radeon X1900.
    Is this sufficient for Motion 5 and will I see a difference in speed, etc from Motion 4.
    Also, is it possible to upgrade my graphics card to say, ATI 4870 to improve graphic performance all around?   I have a real problem with complex graphics and usually cannot see them in full render until I compress the project.
    Thanks,
    Sandra

  • 2009 Mac Pro - Graphics Glitches/Freezing in Yosemite

    Hi,
    I have a 2009 Mac Pro that is running 10.10.1. It is using a Radeon 4870 still from the factory. I have had a mostly flawless experience in the last 5 years with the system, but it has lately been displaying graphical problems and then freezing completely. After the display does quirky stuff that I am attaching in the image, I can only move the cursor. No other actions can be performed, and the only option I have is a hard shutdown with the power button. Usually after I do this, the machine will boot with the chime, but no startup screen will ever appear. It just sets blank. The only way I have found around this is to hold the option key, then boot to my primary drive.
    I notice this seems to happen after the computer has woken from sleep. But, the issue originally appeared for the first time after updating to the newest Logitech Control panel for my mouse. I thought it was that, so I removed it and am no longer using that at all. The issue still exists.
    Here is an image of what the screen typically does.

    My condolences.
    Time for a new GPU.

    Dear Sir,
    I don't know how to search the source product of my Mac Pro which I just buy from one company in Cambodia, the company said that it is made in China and it's part of such Mac Pro is from USA. I'm not sure it is truth or not. So I would like you to double check it for me. The Serial of such Mac Pro is SC02****ADV14 , thanks for your assistance.

    You can type in your machines serial number here to find out a little more about it, however, it won't tell you what components came from what countries to be assembled into the unit you have. 

  • Mac Pro (Late 2013) Keeps Crashing Please Help

    My new Mac Pro (Late 2013) keeps crashing when I use thunderbolt devices.
    My set up is as follows:
    8-Core
    512 SSD
    Dual AMD 700 GPU
    64 GB Ram
    It usually occurs when I am using any of the Adobe programs for video editing and rendering. I have check disc utility and found no errors. Needless to say this is getting quite annoying as I use this machine for work and sometimes can't get through anything because it keeps crashing.
    What do I do?

    Just happened again. This is what it says:

  • Mac Pro needs a disk repair, please help!

    I've been having some strange problems with my early '08 Mac Pro, so I ran Disk Utility, and it says, "This disk needs to be repaired. Stat up your computer with another disk (such as your Mac OS X installation disc), and then use Disk Utility to repair this disk."
    Forgive my ignorance, but what is the best and safest way to do this? I'm assuming I will need to back everything up to an external drive? I currently have everything backing up to a Time Capsule every hour, but only the boot drive. Do I need to transfer all four drives?
    Most importantly, would could have caused this? I take great care of my machine, I don't even download ****. I use Final Cut Pro every day for work, a little After Effects here and there, and that's it. I don't mess around with my machines.
    Any help is greatly appreciated!
    Thanks.

    Take a look at SuperDuper to clone your system and other drives, in addition to TimeMachine or anything else you use (there are 4 ways to slice and dice and clone programs).
    Disk Warrior 4.x to repair disk drives and their directory. Maybe TechTool Pro 5 or Drive Genius 3.
    Prevention is better than a cure, and Apple First Aid is safe basic but not always strong enough medicine.
    Safe Boot at first sign of a problem.
    http://www.shirt-pocket.com/SuperDuper/SuperDuperDescription.html
    http://www.macintouch.com/readerreports/harddrives/topic4557.html#d10aug2010
    And a small Apple OS volume keep handy used just for repairs and maintenance, with latest versions and utilities, better than relying on whatever your DVD is, it isn't 10.6.5 for one thing.
    Sometimes best to clone your system, rebuild/repair the new clone, and use that for new working system (use the original as backup and keep it handy and safe and off line). That can work better than fixing and repairing.
    And if you think you have corrupt files, you might want to build a new system too.
    Next time there is an OS update, patch, version, or new software / drivers / program - backup and clone. And consider running and testing off one and keep the other handy, so you aren't out of work and unable to use Final Cut etc.

  • Mac pro 8 core, flashing cursor please help

    I have a 8 core mac pro, and now when I go to start the system, all I get is a blinking cursor on the upper left hand side. It happened after I took out my 2 nd HD which was just storage and a partition of bootcamp. My main OS X 10.5.4 never left the macpro.
    I tried to put the install disk and repair permissions and also repair disk, it did but I still cant boot.

    Sounds like it is looking for Windows and you need to reset the startup disk after you zap PRAM.

  • I Am Having Trouble Installing Windows On Mac Pro.... Please Help!

    I have gotten as far as installing boot camp and then running windows CD when I start the computer, but all my progress is stopped when I come to a screen durring the setup of XP that says.....
    " The following list shows the existing partitions and unpartitioned space on this computer.
    Use the up and down arrow keys to select an iteam from the list.
    . To set up windows xp on the selected iteam press enter
    . To create a partition in the unpartitioned space press, C
    . To delete the selected partition, press d
    A BOX RIGHT BELOW THE THREE OPTIONS READS.
    238473 MB Disk 0 at id 0 on bus 0 on atapi (MBR)
    C: Partition(unknown) 238475MB (238475 free)
    So when i choose to press "C" to create a partition the computer dose absolutly nothing.
    I thought i might be able to press delete existing partition to get the setup to continue but I am affraid I will loose everything that is on my hardrive right now.
    I am completely confused and this problem is keeping me from installing all of my windows applications I use for my recording studio.
    If anyone can please help it would be very much appriciated.

    Unless we're dealing with some foriegn language I'm not aware of here, then this sort of stuff...

    would likely indicate HW of some kind... EAM, CPU, Mobo, but to elinate orger things like SW, unplug any peripherals you can, boot off the Install disk and see how long it runs off that... several Utilities will show up once you put in the Language.

  • Radeon HD 5770 graphics card works perfectly with my MAC Pro 1,1 and Adobe CS6. However, Photoshop CC won't read the card drivers and says I need to reinstall them and disabled 3D funtions as a result. Anyone else with this issue?

       Radeon HD 5770 graphics card works perfectly with my MAC Pro 1,1 and Adobe CS6. However, I upgraded to Adobe CC and Photoshop CC disabled some filters and 3D functionality. The preference panel for Performance/Graphics Card in Photoshop CC is greyed out and inaccessible and shows this message -
    "Photoshop detected an error in your display driver. Update or reinstall the driver and check Use Graphics Processor to retry."
       I still have Photoshop CS6 installed and it still works perfectly. Anyone else with this issue? Is there a driver update for this compatable with my setup?

    after going round with this Adobe was able to find the fix....opened the "show content" folder for the application Photoshop CC (control click on the application folder) and navigate to the sniffer file and rename it by putting a tilda ~ in front of the name..." ~sniffer ", close and open PhotoshopCC...and voila, problem solved...

  • I have a Mac Pro Mid 2010 and Mac Pro Mid 2012, both running OS 10.8.5. When working in Illustrator the Display starts to make my Document trasparent and I can see the desktop through my document. I have to toggle my display res back and forth to fix it?

    I have a Mac Pro Mid 2010 and 2012 both running OS 10.8.5. Both using ATI Radeon HD 5770 1052 MB vid cards.
    Using the standard Display that came with the Macs, everytime I'm working in Ilustrator CS5 or 6, the Document I am working on gets transparent, and I when I try to move a pallete or the Document itself, the pallet or doc leaves trails from where it was to where I moved it. The only way I can resolve it is to open the Display prefs, choose a lower res, then switch it back to the "Best for Display" option. This started happening on both machines after the 10.8.5 update. I have since gone through all the Pram and Board resets, even had Apple replace the Vid Card and nothing helps. Anybody have this issue. It only happens in Illustrator.

    Hi Marco@JustALittle,
    I really apologise for the inconvenience.

    There is a version of Firefox 4 available for PPC Macs:
    TenFourFox 4.0.1 Firefox 4 For PowerPC Browser Released
    Version 4.0.1 of TenFour Fox, FloodGap's port of Firefox 4 for Power PC
    Macs that supports both Mac oS X 10.4 and 10.5. has been released.
    Mozilla.org dropped support for OS 10.5 after Firefox 3.6 and for Power
    PC with the fourth beta of Firefox 4.
    TenFourFox uses almost all the same code as Firefox 4 and has nearly all
    the same features, including faster JavaScript, WebM video, and HTML 5
    and CSS 3 support, as well as new and emerging Web features, but with
    the code needed to keep your Power Mac functional and fast. Out of beta
    and it's ready for action, versiob 4.0.1 is a performance, security and
    stability update incorporating Mozilla's Firefox 4.0.1 plus AltiVec acceler
    -ation for WebM and browser graphics, and G5 JavaScript acceleration.
    For more information, visit:
    http://www.floodgap.com/software/tenfourfox/
    Source: from http://www.applelinks.com - posted April 25, 2011)
    Now for the intersting bit: TenFourFox, like Firefox, does not support most plug-ins. Unless you are prone to headaches (in which case don't) you can read about that here:

    But there is a workaround!
    Open TenFourFox and type in the address bar: about:config (no spaces) and click return. This gives you a warning that it might harm the application. Ignore that and click on 'I'll be careful, I promise' and you get the config file that you can edit - with great care.
    Look/search (scroll down) for: tenfourfox.plugins.enabled
    Set it to true. (Double click it to toggle it)
    Now close TenFourFox, open it again, and Flash will now work, as it now uses the plug-ins that Safari has stored.
    With SilverLight, Microsoft attempted to create their own version of what a replacement for Flash could be - but not to universal acclaim. You can read more about it here:

    So, if you go to any sites that have been designed for this new Silverlight stuff, you can download the plug-in from here (but make certain that you are downloading SilverLight v.1.0 for OS X (10.4.8 upwards) if you are using a PPC Mac, but even this will not work with Safari 4. Version 2 only works with Intel Macs and does work with Safari 4/5. The solution is to download and install the latest version of Flip4Mac, which now includes a Silverlight component:

    But the latest news is that Microsoft will probably abandon Silverlight in favour of HTML5:
