After upgrade to 10.6.5, I get forcibly logged out

Today I had another crash. The system was completely frozen except the mouse pointer.

Somebody reported this issue to Apple?

You list your video details as:
PCIe Lane Width: x1

I have read that it should be x16 if the 8600M GT is working correctly:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1957787
It's worth having it tested at the Genius Bar. Apple/Nvidia are doing a free exchange for the 8600M GT.
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2377

However, I don't think this explains your forced logout problem. I have had my 8600M GT replaced (it stopped working completely), but I am still getting the forced logout and the +NVDA: Fatal error, failed to make a texture resident+ error.

Now that I'm getting the grey-screen system freezes 1-2 times per day, I've been submitting bug reports daily using the automatic crash reporter.

Any updates on this? For me the automatic logouts are definitely connected with video. One of the triggers, as someone else has noted, s clicking on "full screen" on a YouTube video, whether rendered in HTML5 or Flash. This causes a freeze, a momentary blue screen, followed by the login screen. Never happened till starting with 10.6.5.

I hope everyone is logging a complaint with apple (there's a link to the form in this thread).

I've also got this problem. It's really annoying. I've submitted a report to Apple via the link that Allan Eckert posted. Hopefully this will get fixed soon!

I've read that the 10.6.6 beta update contains a new display driver. I've installed this update and hope it fixes the issues. I will share my experiences later.

I got another forced logout, but this time I was using VMWare Fusion - when I clicked on the Suspend icon.
I was not using any video e.g. YouTube at the time.

Console report a large number of error messages, including these:
+NVDA: Fatal error, failed to make a texture resident. GPU heap size is 290 MB with 2260 textures and 5 surfaces.+
+Unable to make texture resident for heap object operation+
+The graphics driver has detected a corruption in its command stream.+

Just a thought - are we getting the NVidia errors because we have VMWare Fusion installed? Various VMWare processes are always running in the background even if Fusion has not been used e.g. vmnet-bridge.
I just wonder whether these VMWare processes are clashing with the NVidia drivers.

Richard

Interesting idea - I just checked and saw that an update for VMWare Fusion was released a few days ago (2nd Dec) and contains lots of bug fixes. I'm downloading and installing it now.

The error mentioned in my previous post was with Fusion 3.1.1.
Like you, I have now upgraded to the latest 3.1.2.


Richard

I don't have VMWare.. so that's not the issue in my case.
I installed the 10.6.6 BETA update yesterday and i haven't experienced issues so far... Hope is remains like this 😉

Nick

Thanks Nick.

Sounds hopeful.

Richard

I think i was to fast with my reply 😟
I still have issues, even with the 10.6.6 BETA update.
This time it was a kernel panic, after switching flash video to fullscreen.

I can confirm that I have been able to repeat this problem when I am watching youtube with Full screen on Chrome. What's worse is when the computer log me off, the audio CONTINUES. At the log in screen, AND after I log in again. I have to go into task manager and quite all Google Chrome instances before the audio will stop. (CPU usage is at 100% at this point)

Please please please, someone help/come up with work around/fix.

I also have a MPB 3,1, 4Gb RAM, 250MB 8600mGT Nvidia Video card.

Just adding my voice to the masses. I've had a bunch of these logout crashes, usually while switching to full screen in a flash video, so now I'm trying to avoid that and just zoom the screen in, but it's easy to forget. I submitted feedback to Apple, haven't heard anything back. To be honest, I'm kind of surprised Apple has as good a reputation as it does with respect to customer service seeing as they don't seem to be active at all on these forums (a simple "we're working on it" would help a lot!) nor do they seem to respond to any of the submitted feedback.
This is really bad timing for me, I'm trying to submit my Masters thesis in a week, I don't need my computer crashing like this. Although I suppose it's a good incentive to stop procrastinating on YouTube...
