See the Archives. = Recent Articles and Reviews = More Reports from Upgraded Early Mac Pros running 10.7.2

I've posted initial replies (8 as of early this morning) to yesterday's post about some Early Mac Pros with upgrades/ATI cards seeing screen flashing w/10.7.2 on a Separate page. (That page includes a copy of yesterday's post/tip.) Thanks to everyone that wrote.   Reply to post on 2010 15in MBP Video Problems (under investigation at Apple)

(reader reply to apple's comments/doc in yesterday's news.) I have a MacBook Pro 6,2 (Mid-2010) 2.66gHz Core i7 and it started this problem as of a few months ago, but seems to be getting worse. I'll get the black screen 3-5 times a day now. The way the Apple Doc reads, it sounds like all is well, but just no display. This is not the case. I use my laptop to do a lot of audio and video editing, and every time the screen blacks out, the audio that is playing drops into a loop of the last half second, or so of what was playing. Nothing is able to stop it, other than holding down the power for a hard reset/restart. Quite frustrating. (Sounds like system crash. Apple's doc mentioned "In this situation, you may also see a restart warning message before the video is lost or the display turns black or gray.", which I assumed was a kernel panic.-MikeI'm hoping this was caused by software update, and not a logic board fault, or some other hardware malfunction. (For the record I asked about OS version used, firmware, etc.) Here are the details: OS: 10.6.8 MacBook Pro 6,2 (Core i7, 2.66GHz, 2 cores) Memory: 8 GB Boot ROM Version: MBP61.0057.B0C SMC Version (system): 1.58f16 (And info on the GPU(s)) Intel HD Graphics:   Bus: Built-In   VRAM (Total): 288 MB (shared)   Vendor: Intel (0x8086)   Device ID: 0x0046   Revision ID: 0x0018   gMux Version: 1.9.21 NVIDIA GeForce GT 330M:   Bus: PCIe   PCIe Lane Width: x16   VRAM (Total): 512 MB   Device ID: 0x0a29   Revision ID: 0x00a2   ROM Revision: 3560   gMux Version: 1.9.21 The only update not yet applied is Safari 5.1.1. (I asked if it mattered which GPU (dedicated or integrated) he was using when the problem happens.) I thought about that, too. Using the switch in the Power Ctrl Panel, I tried forcing to the Nvidia. No change. -Peter M. So maybe it's not GPU chip related then (unless the failure mode pulls the entire bus/system down). I wonder what the logs show (if anything) when this happens. I suspect you've already done the usual TS efforts (zap pram, clear system caches, reinstall last update via a combo download updater, check for corrupted files/prefs, etc). And based on the Apple doc, apparently they have been able to replicate it on at least some sample.    Years ago I once saw a friend's powerbook G4 lose video (happened right after he installed some blizzard beta game IIRC) - resetting (fully clearing) the nvram/pram fixed it, which surprised me at the time as it was acting just like a hardware failure. Anyway - if anything changes (improves or gets worse) let me know. (I also had replies on other models (older and newer) about no video after waking from sleep, but not during normal use. For no video on wake, I'd check the logs (timestamped) for info on anything hanging on wake. (And also disconnect any attached devices as a test.) Sometimes 3rd party addons can cause problems w/sleep or wake. (Not starting back up or shutting down properly.) An old test for issues with user directory addons (or corrupted userprefs/files) is to create a new user acct and login with that acct to see if the problem repeats. Won't help if the issue is a system/global extension however.)    Apple/Products Related News/Articles:

And info on the GPU(s)

shared

I asked if it mattered which GPU (dedicated or integrated) he was using when the problem happens.
