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

I've sent my MBP i7 mid-2010 for repair with the following frequent and intermittent kernel panic to no avail: panic(cpu 2 caller 0x9cdc8f): NVRM[0/1:0:0]: Read Error 0x00000100: ... to no avail.

 

I happen to have subscribed to AppleCare for this machine but this did not make any difference. The approved repair center I dealt with just reformatted the HD per Apple's support instructions (twice !) and were unable to reproduce the panic. I called the Apple support folks in Ireland directly with the incident # and got told that there was basically nothing wrong with my machine and that this was bound to be caused by non-Apple software (mind you, the support guy I talked to didn't even know that XCode was an Apple product - sic). I however believe this is very likely due to a faulty NVidia video card on the logic board.

 

Has this happened to someone else? How did you get resolution? Right now I am stuck with an unreliable machine and seem unable to get it fixed. Any help would be VERY appreciated.

 

Thank you,

François

    That's good. Ok, so the issue is likely to be the same one, or at least anyway related to the same source.

     

    Just to remove any other possibility, can you try to install a fresh copy of Lion on an external hard disk and see if you have kernel panics anyway ?

     

    If you do, then go back to Apple Store (which contry you are in ?) and :

     

    1. show them the backtrace

    2. tell them your RAM has not been changed

    3. tell them that a fresh install did not fix the issue

    4. reproduce the panic in front of they guy (you should be able to do it in a minute or so, just find the right task that triggers the problem every time, there are a few described in the first pages of this thread

     

    When I had mine swapped, the hardware test passed without any problem as it was not capable to detect this issue !

     

    FYI newly produced mid-2010 MBP 15" i7 (this issue is ONLY with mid-2010 MBP 15" with i7 CPU) do not have the bug. So if your board is swapped you will not have the problem again.

     

    Let us know how it goes

    Ok, I would try to Install Lion on my external HDD. I'm in France, and when i'll have done all the things you says, i will return to the Apple Store to have a real discussion with this "Genius"

     

    Just to tell you I realize that the log i give you was the only one with the error 0x00070000, all the other are 0x00000100, so it's the same problem.

    Thx for your help, i give you some info when i have some news.

    I am in Paris, went to the Opera Apple Store and found excellent service there.

     

    If you have 0x00000100 log, show it to the guy.

     

    Now, if you are not covered anymore by Apple Care they may ask you anyway to pay for repair ... try to argument your case and have it done for free.

     

    How come you are reporting this problem just now as it has been happening since more than a year, btw ?

    So you recommand me to replace my logic-board ?

    You say that this problem is only with MBP with i7 CPU, but I have an i5, and I also have the same crash... Did I misunterstand you ? If there is no risk to have the same problem few months after have paid for a new logic-board, i'm ready to do it... but I prefer to be sure, i'm a student, and I don't have many ressources ! If this doesn't solve the problem...I prefer save my money...

    Well, I do not work at Apple, so I can't tell you anything more that what has been written on this thread about one year ago.

     

    By reading all reports by the people that signaled the problem at the time, the forum (not Apple of course) seemed to agree that the issue was affecting mid-2010 MBP 15" with i7 mother board only. If you go back on this thread and read the posts you will realize that. After a while TS4088 was published, and in there they mention mid-2010 MBP 15" (no specific CPU type)

     

    So, at the time we were all inferring issue was ONLY on i7 mother board.

     

    When I went to Apple Store they did take it in for service just by showing Panic messages, by telling them we tried with fresh disk install, and by showing crash live (I think it happened just by opening FaceTime for instance)

     

    The guy told me the issue could have been either motherboard related or RAM related. They actually swapped RAM first, tested it, then swapped motherboard, all in the same service session. Memory could be the culprit because of a timing mismatch in communication between motherbard and RAM.

     

    That's all I know.

     

    As I said before you should try fresh install (don't even install the GFX utility), then go the Apple Store and show them Panic backtrace (0x00000100 one), tell them you tried reinstalling Lion from scratch, and show bug live.

    Hi,

     

    last week I downgraded my MBP to Snow Leopard again. Since then, even with very demanding usage of NVIDIA graphic card, I did not have any crash. As I wrote in my previous post the problem is with the NVIDIA driver which is not available for Lion. In case of any HW issue the problem should come out with Snow Leopard as well I think.

    I Think at least that this is the case for my MBP, probably not the same for others.

    Any opinion?

    Hi CodeNemo,

     

    Maybe ...

     

    As you may have noticed in the messages that are part of this thread, we all had Panic even with Snow Leopard. It was just a lot less frequent, like a crash every day instead of a crash every 5 minutes.

     

    I believe the issue that is discussed in this thread is a real hardware timing fault that could not be corrected just by drivers. That's why the boards are replaced with new hardrware revision.

    Hi Ipisati!

     

    yes, I agree that for a similar problem different factors can be the origin. I am just stating my personal situation.

    I tried myself many times an HW check using the 2nd DVD which came with my MBP but I never got a failure.

     

    Before upgrading to Lion I had maybe 1-2 panic screen/reboot (in 14 months) BUT no black screen. It is not as good as with the first MacBook I had but kind of acceptable.

    With Lion I had very frequently black screen (3-10 times/day depending on usage) in particular when running some applications/games.

     

    What I can for sure say is that the Apple service in Darmstadt (close to Frankfurt in Germany) was completely not satisfactory. They just claimed money for applying a "solution" (clean re-install of Lion) I had already tried by myself and I even told them! Which such a "clever" service (like a rubber wall) and also considering that my time is more important than a stupid OS and I just downgraded to SL.

     

    Cheers

    Hi CodeNemo,

     

    it looks the same issue, then, although on mine I had way many more crashes on Snow Leopard too, usually one every day, or every two days, but then it can depend on which software you run...

     

    Just a question, is the Darmstadt center a real Apple Store or a third party ? Because if it is not an Apple run Apple Store I would NOT trust them at all for this type of swaps ...

    I see there's an Apple Store in Frankfurt, did you try to get it there ?

    Hi again,

     

    no I did not go to FFM.

    The place in Darmstadt is the list of Apple service in the Apple service web page.

    Well, you maybe should go to an Apple Store, not a 3rd party center ...

    Ipisati - while I understand your perspective, it is unacceptable that one _must_ go to an Apple store. 

    Apple would then have to pay for one's inconvenience and expenses.

     

     

    Apple guarantees that 3rd party authorized centers are providing the same level of service and competence as Apple stores.

     

    This issue is a known manufacturer's defect. Apple is entirely culpable for the problem and must repair it,

    entirely at its expense, with minimal inconvenience to the customer.

     

     

    In our case, Apple Germany has been an utter and complete nuisance, and complete waste of Apple's resources and ours.

     

    Advice - travel across the border from Germany (eg. France) and have the test and repair performed in _1.5 hours_. 

     

    Sue Apple Germany for the expenses incurred.

    >I tried myself many times an HW check using the 2nd DVD which came with my MBP but I never got a failure.

     

     

    You won't get an error with that test, but it will fail the Apple test run by the service center.

    Unfortunately, it's not Lion specific.

    @ apple242

     

    I understand your frustration. But, putting aside the matter of principle, I personally would go to an Apple Store instead than a 3rd party :)

    I dealt once with Apple 3rd party before we had Apple

    stores here. Service quality was not the same as what I experienced many times now at Apple Store ...

    And that's part of the problem. Apple is sitting idly while their authorized centers' incompetence and outright neglect

    is destroying their reputation.

     

    It is not the authorized service provider that is legally responsible for the damages and expenses incurred, but Apple Germany.

     

    Apple will of course wake from its stupor and address the problem, but by then countless people will have already walked away frustrated and disillusioned.

     

    In the case of Germany however, I must tell you, our experience has been otherwise.

    Both Apple Germany and its authorized service providers in the Heidelberg / Frankfurt / Stuttgart region were absolutely horrendous - Think Torture.
