System Panic Screen Blackout

This seems to happen more frequently lately. The screen just goes black without warning, no panic screen, looks like it's asleep but is unresponsive, the keyboard light is on. I have to restart by holding down start button and things seem ok. This time was viewing video in Quicktime. Can't remember last times...

Sorry for the million lines of code, I don't know what they mean. I feel like doing what I said I was going to do a long time ago, wipe the drive and reformat, but if it looks like hardware, the video card maybe, then that won't solve anything.

slolerner,

I think you have external items connected to your MacBook Pro when it panics?

If so, have you tried disconnecting all peripherals . . . or one peripheral at a time . . . to see if the panics stop?

These two links may repeat information you have already reviewed and tested.

Apple Support - OS X: About kernel panics

Feb 6, 2013 Macworld - How to troubleshoot a kernel panic

I suggest that as you continue to troublehoot this problem, you create handwritten documentation of what happens, when, what you did, and with what.

Resolving kernel panics is difficult.


Back up everything you can't afford to lose: documents, mail, movies, music, photos, and other data and settings.

Run the Apple Hardware Test. To me, that looks like you have a hardware fault.

I read through the thread (wow, that's an epic read!) and it looks like the upshot is "hardware fault, documented internally by Apple, warranty program in place to fix it."

I'd suggest taking the unit to Apple and pointing the techs to the link MMT3 provided.

Good luck!

Every internal component would be out of warranty except for WD Caviar Black HD, 5 Year Warranty, see previous post:

Best Disk Utility Software.....Mac OS X 10.6.x & 10.7.x & 10.8.x

Replaced the drive because Barracuda it came with had incompatible with Apple built in read/write head motion locks that produced bizarre errors. Maybe video card has extended warranty. I traded this in within 14 day exchange because it had automatic graphics switching from one core to both when needed, Apple had just switched over from manual, that was a while back.

Hardware Overview:

Model Name: MacBook Pro
Model Identifier: MacBookPro6,2
Processor Name: Intel Core i5
Processor Speed: 2.53 GHz
Number Of Processors: 1
Total Number Of Cores: 2

Please copy and paste string and highlight where MMT3 link is. Thanks!

MMT3 link: Frequent Panic NVRM[0/1:0:0]: Read Error 0x00000100

This URL points to a pertinent Apple doc. (It came from page 46 of MMT3's linked discussion.)

It sounds like Apple has got a replacement program for whatever ails your MBP in place that transcends its "real-life" warrantee.

Thanks. Thanks Dianne. Thanks MMT. Thanks Artie 505. Thanks Tacit. I started to read MMT's link but I have a reading disorder and even tho it was a spot on discussion, I didn't get far enough, it's quite a conversation. Hope this goes well. Yay! My BFFs.

Since you have a reading disorder — who wouldn't have trouble digging through 47 pages of text, I know I did — I have extracted a couple of pertinent posts near the end of the referenced thread that may save you some time…
Originally Posted By: MrSparkle75 on Apple Forums
I thought I would try to write a post that sums up the process required to repair a mac suffering from this issue. In hope that it can get referenced every so often when new people come to the thread and ask the same questions over and over.

Step 1: Verify that you have been getting regular kernel panics with the error "NVRM[0/1:0:0]: Read Error 0x00000100" and that you have a MBP 15" Mid 2010. If you do not have this exact combination then the following does not apply to you.

Step 2: Take your machine to an authorised repair centre.

Step 3: Explain the issue and ask them if they are familiar with the fault. If not get them to read TS4088 (http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4088) and look at their internal operating procedure OP555 which is available on the Apple GSX site (this will mean something to them).

Step 4: They should then run AST free of charge and perform the normal hardware tests. (AST - Apple Service Toolkit is a quick set of test that run in their own environment and is intended to find quick and obvious hardware faults. Eg, faulty temp sensors, fans that don't spin, etc.)

Step 5: After running AST they will have the option to now run VST. Run VST. (VST - Video Service Toolkit is available as a test that can be launched from the home screen within AST but only on machines that meet the requirement (15" Mid 2010 MBP) and only after the normal set of AST tests have been run and the machine rebooted.)

Step 6a: If VST reports a failure then they should organise a repair as per OP555 at no cost to you. (Assuming you are still within the time frame of the free repair offer, which is either 3 or 4 years from the date of purchase irrelevant of Apple Care status on the machine. Sorry I don't know for sure if it is 3 or 4 years.)
If you are interested to know what VST looks like when it detects the faulty Nvidia chip then here it is: https://www.dropbox.com/s/sku03qbz217iyqe/IMG_0273.jpg

Step 6b: If VST does not fail (prints a big green 'PASS'), then you have a different issue, you are not covered under the free repair program and you're on your own. Sorry

So to sum up some common issues:
Do I need apple care? - No
Apple should fix this for free! - They do providing you actually have this fault and don't exceed the free repair offer timeframe. OP555 clearly states that the repair is to be provided for free!
My local repair agent is giving me grief! - Be polite, they may not know of this issue. Encourage them to read TS4088 and OP555. Ask them to run AST and VST to get a definite answer.
My repair agent couldn't run VST. - Either they didn't follow the process (steps 5 & 6) or your machine is not an eligible MBP 15" Mid 2010. If it can't suffer from the issue then VST will not be presented as an option to run.
What actually is this fault? - It's a hardware issue with the Nvidia graphics chip and cannot be repaired without swapping the logic board. It only shows up in 10.8 due to this version using the hardware differently which exposed the error.


I hope this helps clear things up and helps people get the service they are entitled to.

The rest will be solved automatically….and people will magically become more polite (although they will certaintly have a "nice" bad attitude behind your back after).

Basically it is Apple's problem that is solved by replacing the logic board (or the entire computer) and not something you can fix.

I have to do a major backup first!!! My second HDX was making 'those' sounds so I wanted to replace the HD for a while. I was using Silverlining on that one. All I have that I really trust is my HDX Time Machine backup and some of the stuff I'm working on is WAY important so I set up an ftp and it's gonna take some time but I will definitely let everyone know what happens. This will be amazing!

Thanks JoeMikeB--where were you when I was in High School?

Bringing it in Genius Bar tomorrow, made appointment by calling Apple and saying the magic code: TS4088 (thanks!) and I was wiping drive beforehand for privacy reasons, but now getting errors; It won't let me install a new system, just sits there and tells me there are 36 minutes to go for about 2 hours. I ran Disk Utility and it says there are sectors that can't be erased and names them as if I care. Lets me erase the entire drive again but same errors afterward. The drive is a WD Black and has 5 year warranty, 2 years left. Waaah.

Yay! Western Digital will RMA the HD and after I swap out the drives Apple will send out the computer for repair! (The AST would not run off their startup drive for some reason. The VST started but would not complete, just hung there.)

Well, I picked it up and they replaced not only the logic board but the DVD drive, the trackpad and the trackpad cable. It still runs very hot when viewing video and the Firewire daisy chaining does not work correctly, when I dismount one of the drives and then shut it off, it gives the the warning message that the drive was not ejected properly. I had a pristine computer and now it is loaded it up with refurbished parts. It's a Frankenstein and I am not satisfied at all. I want to escalate this issue and am not sure how.

Since the use of refurbished parts is standard practice with Apple and those parts come with the same warranty as a new machine, am I to assume that to you the only satisfactory solution will be to receive an entirely new Mac? Personally I have purchased used factory rebuilt Macs for many years with no problems.

If you are still having problems simply take your Mac back to the shop and report the problems again, and again, and again, etc.. Assuming Apple can replicate your problems they will continue to "fix" them. I don't know whether there is a magic number of repairs before they replace the entire machine or not. The Apple Store completely replaced an iMac after the third major failure (HD replacement under recall, logic board and power supply replacement after failure, and video card failure). On the other hand a friend of mine working through an Apple certified repair shop (not an Apple store) went through seven logic board replacements on a MacBook before he got one that would work reliably and they never did replace his Mac.

I try to buy refurbs from the Apple site right after they release a newer product. There are always a lot of the earlier version, I think most at that point are just unsold inventory. You don't get the nice box, tho.

there is a known gpu fault for models around that point. The described symptom is a loss of video, but I've seen it outright freeze machines.

AASPs have a test they can run to see if your computer is or has been affected by it. If so, it's an REP, meaning if you don't have applecare and it's out of warranty, it's covered for 3 years from purchase. If it's in warranty of course it's covered. go get it checked.

This 15" now has the same video board as my 13", the NVIDIA GeForce GT 330M. You can "manually" turn on the "automatic" graphics switching. I'm not happy with the fix and am waiting for a new backup drive because now that the computer is reformatted there is no room on my time machine drive.

Update: 2010 MacBook Pro is still has heat issues, a weird Photoshop error, trouble viewing video. They want me to bring it back for yet another logic board fix with a three month warranty. I climbed the Apple food chain from Tech Support to Customer Service. Their final offer was $175 credit towards a new computer. I told them seeya in Small Claims court, can't spend any more time on this. Then I saw this:

"On September 11, 2011, another customer notes, "Wow. I can't believe how widespread this issue is. My early 2008MBP died on Sunday with all of the same issues as op. My computer was also extremely hot when I picked it up on Sunday morning (it had been running pretty hot for some time actually but usually when I pick it up from sleep it's cool). I took it into Apple yesterday and after they performed all of the tests that I had already performed (removing the battery, resetting CMS) they decided to look at it overnight. I got a call this morning and they quoted me about $310 as a flat-rate for the labor and any parts they might need during the repair. Including parts!? Compared to other people's stories it seems like I might be looking to pay a lot more once I hear back from them (or did I just get a "great deal"?)."

They've had problems and suits about the NVIDIA cards for years:
