Windowserver crashing

OS X has started to crash on me since November 5, 2010. I was on 10.6.4 at that time.

What happens? All my applications are terminated unexpectedly, and I'm presented with the Apple Login Screen.

I have since upgraded to 10.6.5 and OS X still crashes according to the log entries I found under Console. (I have the reports saved if anyone ahem cough cough looking at Apple Tech Support, hopefully they are looking here...)

This problem occurs regardless if I have Spaces enabled or not. I did a search of the forums and found one other person who is getting the same error messages as me:

This problem is starting to happen often.

November 5, November 11, November 13, November 14 and November 16. A total of 6 times.

2. kernel[0]: Unable to make texture resident for heap object operation

I have experienced this to, a problem I have had in the past, but updates resolved.

The problem is not a situation with the OS X crashing as described above, but rather the WindowService within a current login session.

I experienced this issue occasionally in the early 10.6 releases, although it cleared up - most likely 10.6.2 - I don't remember it under 10.6.4, but its clearly back under 10.6.5

What happens is you might be opening a window - I think it might have something to do with a window using transparency - but its hard to isolate, as the same window opens fine 99% of the time.

The user does an action, which causes the entire screen to flash blue and kicks the user out to the log in screen - as if Fast User Switching has been used.

However, upon re-logging in the user gets a fresh login session, most running applications have closed (but not all - firefox is one that stays open behind the scenes and requires the process to be killed before it can be re-opened), and some - but not all encrypted disk images are able to be retained across this session.

Are you using Google Chrome by any chance? I've got to check my logs, gonna see if an update to Chrome coincides with the crashing.

I have no idea what the logs mean, its probably the result of crashing and not the cause of the actual crash...

no, I use Safari for browsing. But I discovered that very often I get this error while watching or opening a video in Quicktime.

Here is my crash log of WindowServer:

I think its some sort of memory leak?

I have the exact same crash report as you do. I mean, exact. So no need for me to copy the one I have. I don't think it's related to Chrome anymore, as it just crashed on me this morning, I only had Firefox, Safari, iTunes and iCal open.

I did try re-running the 10.6.5 Combo update and tried repairing permissions etc using Disk Warrior. I'll see how that goes.

Thanks for responding! It's good to know I'm not the only one with this issue.

It definitely a memory allocation error, possibly a leak, and I'd bet a million dollars it has something with the 10.6.5 upgrade. I've never had a problem with this mac in years, but since upgrading to 10.6.5 I've had WindowServer crash with EXC BADACCESS/SIGSEGV twice. Both times the machine was unattended, running apps were Chrome, Entourage, iTunes and Microsoft Messenger...

This issue has been reported a LOT in the last few days. Hopefully someone with an enterprise account will raise it with support and get a fix that will eventually trickle down to the rest of us.

same issue for me.

same thing with me. System logs out once a day on its own since 10.6.5 upgrade.

has to do with this

NVDA: Fatal error, failed to make a texture resident. GPU heap size is 197 MB with 1781 textures and 4 surfaces.
Nov 21 21:04:02 MacBook-Pro-Stealth kernel[0]: Unable to make texture resident for heap object operation
Nov 21 21:04:02 MacBook-Pro-Stealth kernel[0]: The graphics driver has detected a corruption in its command stream.

Apple needs to fix this ASAP

Nov 22, 2010 10:31 AM in response to Shawn83

I'm still affected by this issue.

I've tried re-applying the OS X 10.6.5 Combo update thinking it might repair a corrupted file, but it didn't. I also tried running Disk Warrior 4.2, the latest version to try and repair any files that may have been damaged, that didn't help either.

This time I was only running iTunes, Safari and iCal. Bare minimum.

I'm going to reboot my MacBook Pro (from October 2007) every 2 days just to clear the memory leak.
arugh!!!

I hope Apple fixes in their next update. :\
