Video card failure?

My old iMac G5 is about to lose its graphic card. The image on the screen jitters and has vertical bands, some color distortion and blocks of patterns replacing some of the desktop. Eventually the whole thing lo Is there any way that I can migrate to my new iMac.

Hello,
Assuming the worst happens this shouldn't be an impediment to moving to a new Mac.
You can boot the iMac into Target Disk Mode (by holding the T key down during the startup of the old iMac) with the Macs connected by Firewire then the old Mac appears as a hard disk drive on the other Mac. You can the using Migration Assistant or manually transfer your files across. 
Alternatives:
1.     To look at setting up screen sharing on the old iMac if you already have another computer on the same network
2.     Using an external monitor/flat screen TV via the MiniVGA port on the Mac (this might not work though if the fault is with the video card rather than the display).

  • On startup Mac Pro I get a blue screen and a cursor on the upper left. The mouse cursor shows up independently. Is it likely a video card failure?

    On startup Mac Pro I get a blue screen and a cursor on the upper left. The mouse cursor shows up independently. Is it likely a video card failure?

    I managed to boot the computer and get the desktop to show. I now have a "repaired" computer. There are several problems that have cropped up. One is that I can only start up now in Safe Boot mode. Is there a way to turn it off? Also, I do not have a sound list, so I can't access anything requiring audio. Google Chrome only shows up as a white screen. Pictures that loaded before don't load in browsers, etc. Any suggestions? I figure I should reinstall Mac OS Lion for starts, maybe even do a mirror backup and reformat the drive. I think this drive has turned into scrambled eggs...what a headache!

  • Possible video card failure?

    I've started having problems with playing 3D video games, like the system totally freezing up and I'd have to reboot, or I'd get weird graphic things happening like in the picture above. At first, this just happened when playing games, but now it just happened when I was using safari. The pixels and weird lines don't go away until I reboot. Also, my system has completely locked up on me a few times over the last couple of days...when I wasn't playing any games...I was just checking my mail, or accessing a drop-down menu from the menu bar. When it freezes, I can't force quit...the system is totally unresponsive and I have to use the power button.
    I've gone through most of the standard troubleshooting steps:
    Verified and Repaired Permissions
    Ran TechTool Deluxe
    Ran the Apple Hardware Test
    Ran OnyX
    Deleted Preferences
    I also created a new user for testing as advised by an Apple Care Rep and did a Clean Install of OS X
    The tests (TechTool Deluxe and Apple Hardware Test) indicate that everything is supposedly fine.
    When my system crashes, I often see this line (or something similar) in the logs:
    Nov 24 20:57:59 localhost kernel: ATIRadeon::submit_buffer: Overflowed block waiting for FIFO space. Have 5, need 6. RBBM_STATUS 0x8009c111. VAPCNTLSTATUS 0x00000002
    Has anyone had this experience, and can anyone confirm if this is indicative of a video card failure? My understanding is that the video card on the eMac is part of the logic board. The Apple Rep said the last thing I can try before taking it to a service center would be to erase everything and reformat. I really don't want to do that unless there is really some reason to believe that it might actually solve the problem. I mean, I'd have to spend several hours reinstalling everything, etc.
    emac   Mac OS X (10.3.9)   1.25 GHZ, 512 RAM, ATI Radeon 9200

    the video card was bad, needed to have the logic board replaced

  • Logic board or graphic/video card failure?

    I have an iMac Core 2 Duo (Late 2006) 2.16 GHz, max RAM. I have been getting kernel panics and/or the screen with gray overlay and the multilingual instructions to re-start. I don't know whether I have impending logic board, video/graphic card failure, or some other hardware issue. I am running the latest OS X - 10.6.8, Safari, iTunes and the latest update of ProTools LE 8. I don't want to go through the upgrade to Lion or PT 9, until I determine that I either have a fixable issue with this iMac, or that the repair would not be logical compared to a computer replacement. The graphic/video indications are periodic, momentary distortions (stretching) of the screen image (usually a single image or portion of an image), tv-like interference lines (sometimes green, sometimes black, sometimes persistent, sometimes intermittent). They don't appear to have a predictive function to the k panics or restart messages.
    Here is the crash report from this afternoon:

  • Video card failure on iMac (aluminum) - Excellent Apple Support

    My iMac (aluminum) 20" (2.4 GHz, 2GB RAM, 500GB HDD) greeted me with a grey / black screen this morning, a reboot resorted in the screen flashing as if the back light was going as it booted up along with static / noise lines and dashes then the screen going grey / black again. Called Apple Support and they talked me through the various PRAM resets etc all with the same effects. He suggested that I could either have it repaired or a new iMac sent out to me, I opted for the latter as I asume this will be much quicker. I was able to connect the imac to my plasma TV and reboot and it luckily picked up the TV as the main display. I copied all my info to an external drive and carried out a fresh install of the OS. I disconnected and rebooted the imac but the display, as I guessed was still toast. I'm very dissapointed about the iMac dying like that but very pleased with Apple's Support Team here in the U.K. I'm now back to watching the delivery status pages, should be shipping between the 18th / 22nd October and hopefully arriving in time for Leopard 10.5!

    Sad to hear about your iMac dying like that, however it's a good positive story in the end, which seems to be lacking these days as far as iMac's are concerned. One up for Apple!

  • Ray Traced 3d and MY video card overheats

    Hello,
    First off, I am not trying to get support to fix this, although some insight what might be going on would be great if someone has an idea.  I am using a GTX 480 with After Effects.  Yes, I realize this is not a supported GPU but it does work, in my case, not the best.
    THE ISSUE:  I created a motion graphic that was basically 3 words and some shadows and reflections. I used the ray trace 3d render option, and when I was close to being done, I tried to render it.  Unfortunately the video card temps skyrocketed from 70-80 to over 100 degrees celsius before rendering 2 seconds of the clip. 
    Is this something anyone else using a similar video card has experienced?  I just want to see if anyone else has this issue using a GTX 480. Again I understand its not supported by Adobe, but this is what forums are for, to find others that may have had same issue.
    I can still render, but it involves me pushing the card to the limit, pausing, and then restarting after the card has cooled down.  I do have the most recent drivers from Nvidia, v 306.23.  The ambient temps in my house are around 70 degrees Farenhiet, and my card idles at around 45-50degrees celcius.  I have 24 gigs of ram and a i7 920. just for comparison sake, not sure if this is needed.
    It might be an air flow problem too.  I plan on getting a new pc when the new i7's come out next year, but this is putting a hamper on my work now. I am only a hobbyist/part time freelance at the moment.
    Thanks for any input.

    I believe standard maintenance for air cooled electronic equipment that has no air filtration system built in should be a monthly light cleaning and a semi annual thorough cleaning. One of the facilities that I occasionally work for on a freelance basis only cleans their machines when they fail. Something has failed on almost a third of my visits.
    The last PC I built I put a filter in the air inlets. There's all kinds of materials you can get that do a good job of catching most of the lint without fouling up the air flow.
    I have my laptops cleaned at least semi annually but I vacuum out the air vents twice a month with a low power device that doesn't spin up the internal fans. You've got to be careful that you don't damage the equipment by over revving rotating parts with too much air pressure.
    If I were to set up an office workspace I'd put an electrostatic air cleaner in the office to minimize dust. One equipment failure on a project with a deadline would pay for a really high end filtration system. I run electrostatic air filtration in my home instead of the paper air filters on the HVAC system. It's amazing how little dust and lint we get in the house.

  • Graphics going bad -- Monitor or graphics card failure?

    My graphics are starting to go haywire.  It came on sort of gradually.  The screen is all pixelated, and it's dominated by red pixels.
    My sense is that it's a hardware failure, not a software problem.  But how can I determine if it's the monitor, or the graphics card?
    The monitor is not an Apple -- it's a Dell.  And I don't have a spare, or I would just plug in another monitor. 
    The computer is a 2-year old Mac Pro, with an Nvidia graphics card.
    Any help?
    thanks,
    Mike

    99% sure it's probably the card. At least that's the way for me anyway.
    As @X423424 said, at least try to reseat the card and don't forget to unplug and replugin the video cable also.
    Take the cover off the side and look to see if the video card fan is spinning or if it's completely packed with dust. If it's clogged with dust or the fan died then you have a 40/60 chance it will be fine once the fan works again.
    If you know anyone with a computer, Mac/Windows, ask if you can check out the monitor before spending any hard earned cash on a new card, eh?

  • After BSOD video card does not respond, VGA not work

    Hi,
    This is very URGENT!
    Today I was working with my pc, I have connected a monitor through VGA. Suddenly screen flicker, then some pink dots appear fallowed by BSOD: Video_TDR_FAILURE.
    After this, pc boots to black screen (always).
    1) Went to safe mode. Works. Removed disabled video driver and windows starts but with low resolution and crappy graphics. Notice VGA stopped working, so cannot connect monitor.
    2) Whenever I turn on driver / restart - again does not startup black screen. 
    3) I remove driver on safemode.
    4) Try to install driver - in the middle of install pc suddenly restarts and nothings changed. Driver is not installed. Tried to install Windows 7, windows 8 drivers for my video card model - same thing - restart in the middle and does not work.  Dxdiag shows that i have Microsoft Basic Display Driver.
    ABOUT PC:
    OS: windows 8.1 pro (using for more than 3 months without any video issues)
    Laptop model: HP G62 
    Product number: WZ685EA#B1R
    Video Card: AMD Mobility Radeon HD 5000 Series (also device 1 is  Intel HD graphics)
    I hope its not hardware. Also, how to if its harware issues, how to test video card?
    Thank you in advance!!

    Hello nerijusgood,
    It appears that you had a bsod error, that since this you've booted into safe mode and corrected parts of the issue, but can no longer get the display adapter to install. I will try to assist you with this.
    Based on everything you have done, the first place to start would be hardware. You should be able to test it and this document can help you in doing so: Testing for Hardware Failures (Windows 8).
    Start with the above and let me know the results.
    Thank you for posting on the HP forums.
    I worked on behalf of HP.

  • Upgrading a 2007 Mac Pro Video Card

    So Steve Jobs said that the mac pros would offer greater expansion when they were reased a couple years back.
    Its been 3 months since the Geforce 8800 GT has been 'available' on the 2008 mac pro and 3 months since it hasnt been available for the mac pros which jobs referred to as 'expandable.' I'm in need of a new monitor, and will be needing a better video card, I have a 2 x geforce 7300 overclocked setup for gaming in windows. This experience will be painful once I step up to 1920x1200 resolution some time SOON.
    So I have a few questions:
    1) How does the ATI 2600 XT perform compared to my setup? Is a single 2600 XT going to outperform my SLI setup?
    2) Would a Crossfire 2600 XT outperform it?
    3) Is the 3870x2 compatible with my computer? Can I at least boot into windows with it, but boot into OS X with my 7300 without physically removing the video card from the PCIe slot? I suppose a KVM switch would be needed unless I bought a dual input monitor?
    4) Are there any video cards made for PC that will work in windows on my mac BUT still allowing me to boot into OS X without me having to remove the card out of the PCIe slot?
    Thanks for all your responses in advance!
    ps. funny how steve jobs got deals with EA to produce games for the mac os platform while doing nothing about offering a required component to play games at decent settings and framerates. this is going to be a failure guaranteed if apple doesnt do anything (or, at least acquire PROPER ported games)

    You can find benchmarks for the ATI 2600GT at Bare Feats.
    You cannot use a third-party card to boot OS X, but you can use any compatible video card for Windows as long as you install the Windows drivers. A third-party video card simply won't boot OS X because it does not have an EFI compatible ROM. It will, however, work fine for booting Windows.

    Much to my relief, Apple is replacing my 2008 24" iMac after I have brought it in to them 3 times for the same issue in a month (failure to startup, they have replaced two video cards, one MLB, and the display but the problem repeats itself within 1-2 weeks). They are replacing it with a newer model that has a 27" display, twice the ram (4 GB) and twice the HD space (1 TB). My question is about the video card in the new iMac, it is a ATI Radeon HD 4670 with 256 MB, and the card in my old iMac was a NVIDIA 8800 GS with 512 MB. My primary application for my iMac is gaming, which I believe makes the video card the most important component. Does anyone know the difference between 256 and 512 or anything about this new card? Should I ask them if I can pay to upgrade to the Radeon HD 4850 512 MB before I go in to pick up my new iMac?

    Hi Crazy,
    I had the exact same problem... my 18month old 24" iMac (with 512MB Video card) went belly up.
    I pointed out that what they wanted to offer me had only the 256Mb Card ? ....and he said; "oops I didn't notice that"... so we will send your new 27" iMac - with a 512MB (ATI 4850) at no charge,
    So... buddy you just need to tell them - and they will configure your replacement 27" to equal or better the minimum specification of your faulty unit.

  • Two video cards issue

    Any fix for the "Hardware cannot render at the requested size and depth" when having two video cards issue?

    Now, the strange thing is: after a few initial issues one of the macs is doing fine. The second one, on the contrary, is a nightmare. Finalcut gives a green screen of death and hangs up suddenly while performing simple operations (like dropping a clip on the timeline).
    I'm thinking of trying to replace the two video cards with an older single dual display card, and giving up the fancy lcd monitors (that i bought at vast cost), at least until apple issues an upgrade that adresses the two video card problem. <
    If the machines are mechanically equal, it's obviously not the cards. Although you can only be absolutely certain if you swap the cards between machines and see if the green screen issue follows one or both cards.
    However, that new LCD display and card combination doesn't have much time in the pipeline so there could be other issues and you're doing the beta testing for all of us. Blaming the reseller is pointless; no one can keep track of all of these issues. We only find out about them only because of reported failures.
    You should research the "green screen" here on the forum. I do not recall if there are display or graphics cards issues associated with it. That seems unlikely. IIRC, it appears to be a QT issue.

  • Looking for Video Card

    My searching through the forum answers some questions, but still wondering ...
    My 450 AGP (Sawtooth) is going to get a new video card, part of an upgrading I've been doing.
    ATI Radeon 9800 Pro Mac 128mb? Will this work for my 450? I'm not understanding the 2X, 4X, 8X relevance.
    Also, in the name of $$$, I've seen it posted that perhaps I could get a PC version and flash it for Mac. Is this straight away ok?
    Thanks for any insights.

    Hi-
    The biggest limiting factor in upgrading the Sawtooth graphics card is the AGP bus. The Sawtooth has a 2x AGP bus, 32-bit channel operating at 66 MHz doubled to an effective 133 MHz resulting in a maximum data rate of 533 MB/s.
    A graphics card must be compatible with this speed to br used in the Sawtooth. Current AGP cards are predominately 4x and/or 8x AGP (266mhz and 533mhz respectively), and don't work at lower bus speeds.
    Signaling voltage is another factor, with 2x being 3.3v, 4x being 1.5v and 8x being 0.8v. When modifying a card from PC to work in a Mac, and to make a faster card work at lower AGP speeds, some cards can have pins blanked out (taped) allowing use at the higher voltages.
    The reason the 9800 Pro is so often recommended, is that it is one of very few 2x AGP compatible performance cards available. From the world of flashing, the PC version of the 9800 is one of the most easily, and succesfully converted cards. Some of the last modern cards with 3.3 V support were/are the Nvidia GeForce FX series and the ATI Radeon 9500/9700/9800(R350).
    The 9800 Pro, Mac version or flashed, will work in your Sawtooth. Either way, the card is plug and play in OS X, and will provide graphics performance far beyond that of other 2x AGP compatible cards.
    Often mentioned, is that the 9800 requires a 300w power supply. This may be true from a manufactures "warranty" standpoint, but the card will work fine with the Sawtooth's 237w PSU. Adding a processor upgrade (single) and up to two internal harddrives will also work within the PSU's wattage. The main enemy of all, heat is the biggest concern.
    Reducing heat/increasing cooling by using a third party fan is highly recommended. The 9800 is a hot card, and the stock fan is prone to early failure. Adding additional cooling to remove the extra heat produced by the 9800, by using an exausting PCI fan, will also help the PSU provide adequate voltage to the system, by reducing the amount of hot air moving out of the PSU..

  • Video Card: Cores vs RAM

    I am looking into upgrading the video cards on my system, with the primary intention being to speed up OpenGL applications, primarily After Effects.  I have narrowed down the field to two choices based on price and performance:
    2x Geforce GTX 260 w/ 1792MB RAM
    2x Geforce GTX 275 w/ 896MB RAM
    I will be alternating between SLI and non-SLI depending on the application and how many monitors I want to use.  What I'm trying to determine (and have had no luck) is whether I would see better performance with the faster and higher number of processing cores in the 275, or the doubled RAM of the 260.  They fall within $5 per card of each other, so price is a non-issue at this point.
    Thanks for any assistance!
    -Kevin

    Thanks!  I actually use 4 monitors for some applications, so a pair of cards is a necessity for me.  I'm currently running one GTX 260 and one GT9400, which works just fine most of the time, with the exception being consistent failures of OpenGL in AE (which are annoying, but not fatal).  I'm thinking I might just wait a while to make a purchase... I'm pretty sure I can make do until they announce any new and exciting features in CS5 that I'll want to make sure I'm prepared for.

  • Help on my Ultra10 Video card

    Hello, I am using solaris 9 on my Ultra 10, I just found there is another M64 video card already installed at slot PCI 1, I thought this card should be much better then the default card, so I tried to switch, but seems I can't get it work.
    I googled and tried the following approach, but apparently it did not work, the monitor just keep dark when I plug the cable to the new card. please hep
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    You need to attach a monitor that will give you video. Then power on the system and stop at the ok prompt.
    run below command and look for the path to your video card
    show-devs
    ex.. /pci@1f,0/pci@1/SUNW,m64B@1
    then you need to run
    nvalias screen1 /pci@1f,0/pci@1/SUNW,m64B@1
    In the above nvalias command screen1 is just an example and you can name it whatever you want as long as it does not conflict with anything shown by the devalias command whcih is run from ok prompt also. Also you video card will not show up as m64@1 if it is not that type of video card. The 1 at the end is what slot you have it in so this also may be different.
    then run
    setenv output-device screen1
    then run
    reset
    as the system resets move the monitor cable to the new card

    here is the prtdiag output result of my box

    The information line in your PRTDIAG that says ...
    " 0 PCI-1 33 2 SUNW,m64B ATY,GT-C "
    is noting the integrated onboard video chipset.
    All the PCI-1 items of Ultra-5 and Ultra-10 systems are the integrated functions.
    The PCI-2 item, your add-on graphics card, is in an expansion slot.
    I think that if you found its barcode paper sticker, you'll see a part number
    that begins with 370-3753, for the PGX32 model card that is OEM'd from Techsource.
    Even though the card was physically in the system,
    there is a vague possibility that the necessary software packages
    were never installed when the OS was installed.
    If no "drivers", then no functionality.
    PRTDIAG would show that it's physically present, but that's all
    You'll need your Solaris 9 CD's. In particular, disk #1 of 2.
    use pkgadd to install all the TSI... packages.
    You could check whether they are present with a ... pkgchk TSI*.
    Also glance at this previous forum thread from May 2006:
    http://forum.sun.com/jive/thread.jspa?forumID=246&threadID=96909
    It includes a link to the installation documentation of the graphics card.

  • ATI Radeon 9600 Pro 256MB 8x Dual (DVI/DVI) (AGP) Video Card for PC/Mac

    We want to be able to use our 30" cinema display from the G4 and was advised in a previous discussion to buy the ATI Radeon 9600 Pro 256MB 8x Dual (DVI/DVI) (AGP) Video Card for PC/Mac. It doesn't seem to be available anywhere. Does anybody know of an alternate video card that's currently available that will get us there? (We had the display running from a G5 that quit / logic board failure).
    Many thanks,
    Philip

    The Nvidia 7800GS is a flashed card, runs a 30" with ease.
    BruinMacs on Ebay is a great place to get one, you support the guy who wrote the original ROM for these.
    He doesn't seem to have any for sale right now, but if you email him, maybe he will list one.
    There are also flashed X800s that work on your MDD and can run a 30". They are pricey but will offer dual DVI while the 7800GS is single DVI with VGA for second display.
    There are also flashed 6600GT AGP cards which will work, but harder to find.
    Any of the above 3 will run circles around a 9600.
