Q: Since updating to Mavericks, my graphics card keeps crashing OSX and forcing a reboot. Anything I can do?
Hello community!
This is the first major problem I've had with my Macbook since I got it over a year ago. This is a 15" Macbook Pro with Retina Display (Mid-2012 - 2.2 GHz).
Everything was fine until I upgraded to Mavericks, and ever since then, my entire system cuts out and has to reboot when trying to do graphically-intense applications. So far, I've had this problem with the following programs:
- Safari/Chrome (when playing embedded videos that are not from YouTube)
- Adobe Photoshop CC
- iPhoto (the brand new one)
- Sid Meier's Railroads!
- Civilization V
- Demolition Company
- Roller Coaster Tycoon 3
- Preview + Pixelmator (at the same time)
All of these programs are the most recent stable versions.
That this whole problem is being caused by my graphics card is merely an assumption that is based on the list of programs that make it crash. All of the rest of the applications that I use (Mail, Calendar, Tweetbot, iTunes, etc etc etc) run completely flawlessly.
Here's what usually happens - I start a game, for instance. I go through the menus and everything just fine. Once I start an acutal scenario, it loads and finally puts me into the game. It runs and I can interact with the entire UI for about 10-15 seconds, at which point, everything - the screen, the audio, the fans - instantly turn off. It's as quick as someone unplugging a desktop computer.
The computer is unresponsive to me trying to turn it back on for about 30-60 seconds (depending on the app that made it crash). Eventually, the power button "works" and everything comes back. The computer reboots normally, and presents me with an error message.
This has happened dozens of times over the last few weeks, and I can repeat the problem very easily (just open up something on the list!). Below is a crash report that I just got after the one that involved Pixelmator + Preview.
If there's anything that anyone sees that I can do to fix this, I would be extremely appreciative. Thank you so much, everyone!
