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

For those who are interested, here is what the error message looks like when VST fails.

Yes, it really is that obvious. If it passes then it shows a big green bar that says "Pass".

Thanks to all those who are posting helpful comments.

Qcuick question for those who took their laptops similar to my manufacturing/design defect infested MacBook Pro 15 to get the logic board changed by Apple....

Did you have get any pushback if you had upgraded your hard drive or RAM over the standard config?

Thank you

Imran

Imran, I didn't get any pushback. The genius and whole depot repair experience was exactly how I wanted. I am very happy with Apple's service. 😀 I received my laptop back from flat fee ($310) deopt repair less than a week ago.

In the store they let me take out my drive (to protect my data) and I replaced it with the original drive, which I had previously securely erased and had coppied Snow Leopard from another computer, that wouldn't boot the machine. I gave them my laptop with 8GB Corsair RAM which I suspected, but I had thrown away the original RAM.

When I was called and informed my computer was ready, the genius told me Depot Repair say my 8GB RAM had a problem and they installed 4GB ram. My 8GB RAM was returned seperately in an envelope, and I will toss it. They replaced the logic board and more. I am very pleased because the GPU failure I had was a nightmare! My laptop came back looking like new. I had figured they would have to replace the hard drive, because it wouldn't boot, but the machine came back and booted with my account on it.

After getting my laptop back, I upgraded it as I previously planned. I purchased and installed 16GB RAM and replaced the HDD with a new 500GB SSD! 🙂 Whoohooo! Initially it took too long for the startup. However, after setting the SSD to be the startup disk, startup is now blazing fast. I don't have a HDD in my laptop. I am going for low power speed. 🙂

My macbook pro (Mid-2010; Mountain Lion) has been crashing to Kernal Panics more and more frequently; from few times a week to now around twice a day. It's getting really fustrating and not sure what is causing it. I think its might be Chrome, as it seems to eat alot of my harddisk space with getting constant 'Your startup disk is full' popups.

I've switched over to Safari for now and hopefully it wont crash.

I do hope its a software issue and not hardware; as I do not have Apple extra warranty.

I'm not sure how to paste up my Kernel Panic log; this is from Logs>DiagnosticReports:

Hi Grant,

Thanks a lot for your advices. I brought my MBP to an Apple Authorized Service Center and they replaced the motherboard in 5 days for free. I was just in time because the replacement program is only valid for 3 years. So if anybody else is having the same problem, hurry up!!!

Note that the first replacement motherboard they tried was defective: did not pass the tests... I was lucky that the technician did a good job.

Thank you! I need to do this soon for my mid-2010 MacBook Pro. Hope this is still valid for me. Getting exact same kernal panics ever since I upgraded to Mountain Lion. Happens when scrolling in iPhoto.

The local repaire center returned my MBP (retina) without being able to find anything but now it seems that I found the cause for the crash and I am finally able to reproduce it.

It only seems to happen when using the descrite graphics card and using the computer on my lap - more specifically on just one leg. Sounds crazy but it seems like the MacBook Pro case slightly deforms if not on a flat surface or at least both legs and that might cause a short circuit.

Maybe someone else could give it a try. My machine had been repaired before, so maybe the repair place did something wrong as the problem didn't happen before.

I was able to reproduce it several time by pushing the case on the back in a certain spot.

I would say this is clearly a hardware issue aften spending hours of looking at possible software causes.

I've got a 2010 15" MacBook Pro that's been having kernel panics since the start of the year. I took it in to my local authorized service center with all the kernel panic reports I've gotten. They encountered the kernel panic once. They tried a clean install on the computer using a different hard drive and didn't get the kernel panic at all (according to them). Put in my old drive and as I was browsing and watching YouTube, got another kernel panic. Below is the panic I usually get (or something similar). Any ideas? Screen just blacks out and the computer restarts. I took my computer in while it was still under AppleCare but now it isn't covered anymore. Not really buying their excuse of software though.

Any ideas?

That does seem like a Hardware problem. Software does not tend to crash when you push on it. Your motherboard may be loose or some other wacky problem.

But if you can reproduce it, they can fix it.

I just got it back today with a new logic board. I would like someone to compensate me for the days I've lost because of this issue.

I also have the same issue....as it became apparent now with Mountain Lion (I have been using Snow Leopard for the last few years and no graphics intensive app).

Of course, warranty is not something that I have anymore....

Stupid question but considering it is a hardware flaw, do I have to pay to Apple to replace the Logic board ?

It's not like I got a good product and it got damaged...I always had a crappy one with a known design flaw.

Of course I can always get a quick, cheap and dirty fix for it at an electronics specialist by having him use his reballing station to remake the connections but I'd rather have the official one.

The Apple Depot Repair is a flat rate of $310. Better off with the new logic board that will get you than paying more for a reballing which is known not to work long. For me it was a relief to get it fixed.

Well, the problem is that the reballing is around 50$ 🙂

If I get a new logic board and after overheating / increased usage the same thing happens...(I know this problem is a frequent one with other laptops and Nvidia graphic cards)...than those 310$ are a pretty bad investment.

Is it normal for this to be charged by Apple considering it is a known hardware design defect ?

Thanks.

I do have the Macbook with this problem 🙂 and your sum up article is realy great.

I'd offer you a friendly beer if I could 🙂

I am just worried that after I get my repair, the same thing might happen again after 1 year or so.

If the soldering is bad and has this issue with overheating, then there's no guarantee a new one would be better (as it is the same design and same graphics card).

Am I wrong ?
