Random freeze of iMac screen after upgrading to Mojave Hi, I am experiencing a random freeze of the iMac screen after I upgraded the system to Mojave. I found a similar thread on this discussion but no following up for a while: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/8460668?login=true May I ask if there is any solution to this issue? Before upgrading my OS system, there is no freezing, and I suspect the error is exactly due to the GPU as referred to in this thread. Will a further upgrading of the system resolve this issue? My system is a 2015 late model, so I'm hesitant about upgrading it. Here is its parameters: iMac (21.5-inch, Late 2015) Professor: 2.8 GHz Intel Core i5 Memory: 8 GB 1867 MHz DDR3 Startup Disk: Macintosh HD Graphics: Intel Iris Pro Graphics 6200 1536 MB Thanks!

2011 Macbook Pro GPU failure fixed but... Hello All, Like the title states I was able to fix the defective gpu problem on a 2011 Macbook Pro but now the computer is super slow. I changed the HDD to a SDD but that didn't fix the problem. I also tried installing El Capitan and that didn't work either. The specs are : 2011 Macbook Pro 15" 2.3GB i7 CPU, 8GB memory Is there anything I can do to fix it?

iMac 20-inch Mid 2009 NVIDIA GeForce 9400 keeps crashing Hello, I have a beautiful iMac 20-inch, Mid-2009, with a 2GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, 4GB memory (third party, Komputer Bay), and NVIDIA GeForce 9400 256 MB running OS X El Capitan v 10.11.16. Occasionally the machine is crashing, and when I check the crash report, its mostly a different process causing it. What is the best way to find the reason of this crash? I tried EtreCheck but not much help. Crash reports occasionally show that the crash happened when some video activity happens (sometimes when a heavy YouTube video, or sometime when a minimal screen animation). I suspect memory chip is defective, but need some advice how to check it. If confirmed, I c an buy new 2x4GB and replace the existing 4GB module. I also noticed the GPU card usually is defective and causing these kind of crashes - is there any way of disabling the GPU and still continue using this computer with no major repair. Any advice is appreciated.

Both are on the main logic board, on a 7 year old iMac that is soon to be classed as obsolete you may want to consider replacing the computer rather than paying to have a new main logic board installed.
