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

Hi Halloran,

you should call AppleCare and talk about the reason why in the store they rejected your macbook, It happened some thing like that to me and finally they fixed mine for free. I had upgrated the macbook with 8GB of new memory, so in the store they said to me that the mac need to have all the original pieces, so I called AppleCare and it wasn't really like that, back in the service I told them about that and solved.

keep trying!

is really bad not having the more powerfull GPU working, at least for me it was...

bye!

I had some issues like the rest of you with kernel crashes. Here's my error I had:

I might've solved it by doing this:

http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1379

So far, every type of bug I had seen before isn't coming up. I didn't have to have the logic card changed - and my MacBook Pro is a 2010-2011 i5 with regular specs.

Fingers crossed, it works.

Gave this a try, but unfortunately, I was able to quickly replicate the issue after the reset, so it does not seem to be a resolution for my particular case. Many thanks for posting, though.

The good news, though is that gfxCardStatus seems to be still working. While this is certainly not an ideal situation, and it does make sense to try to get Apple to repair the video card, now that I am not getting rebooted a few times a day, and now that I can reliably replicate and resolve the issue, it should be much easier to deal with the Apple support folks, and get it done on better terms.

For owners of the MacBook Pro 6,2 MacBook Pro (15-inch, Mid 2010):

If you have the line in your Panic report shown as the title of this thread, you very likely have the Hardware error described in:

TS4088- MacBook Pro (15-inch, Mid 2010): Intermittent black screen or loss of video

Take a printed copy of that bulletin, as a hedge against technicians who are not familiar with the program, and make a Genius Bar appointment.

They need to run the SPECIAL diagnostic described in that bulletin.

If it fails the SPECIAL diagnostic, you should discuss having them replace you motherboard under that program.

Pleas make a backup before you hand over your Mac -- they may have to send it to a depot.

Ugh, don't want to make this sound like a rant, but I've been having the same issues with kernel panics for a while now. I made an appointment at the Apple Store. The first time I went there, they apparently weren't aware of TS4088, so they kept my MBP overnight and ran some standard tests. They didn't seem to find any bad hardware, but it apparently did "suddenly restart on them" or something, so they offered a "depot repair" or something for about $300-400 (forget the exact amount).

I needed to use my laptop, and didn't want to send it away for repair yet despite the panics, so I declined and said I would visit again later. I later found TS4088, and went back to the store for them to run the specific test. After having a bit of an isse starting the test (apparently have to do some funky reboot sequence), it ran and supposidly "PASSED" with large white-on-green text on the screen.

I went to another store a few months ago, and same thing. "PASSED".

I'm getting kind of frustrated here, as it's obviously the same issue as everyone else is having. Same symptoms, same model MBP (2010 15"), same errors in the panic logs, but for whatever reason, the test Apple wrote doesn't seem to detect anything wrong.

And this is running Mountain Lion 10.8.3, too. I'm guessing Apple's been trying to fix this in software instead of replacing hardware, but it's not completely working.

I'm seriously thinking about just going the "depot repair" route, but I don't want to shell out $400, have them test the parts, see that "nothing is wrong" with the motherboard, and end up with the issue not being fixed.

The complete Panic log report shows much more information. In particular, it show what third-party kernel extensions you have loaded, how much RAM you have, what model MacBook, what version of Mac OSX, etc, etc.

There are very often OTHER FACTORS that could give you this or other errors.

If you could post the entire Panic log, Readers could give you better advice.

I used to have some extensions installed for VirtualBox to run Windows in a VM, but I clean reinstalled OS X to rule that out. 10.8 seems to have lessened the panics quite a bit, but they still ocassionally happen. Running Windows 7 in Boot Camp also causes frequent random BSODs, much more often than in OS X probably because there wasn't any software workaround written for it. Even with a clean install of OS X on a completely formatted drive, I still have issues. Anyway, here's the rest of the log, which comes right after the end of the "BSD process name corresponding to current thread: kernel_task" line in the previous quote.

The backtrace shown in the first part of the log clearly shows that kexts related to the Nvidia graphics caused the panic, with lines containing "IONDRVSupport" and "IOGraphicsFamily" and "NVDAResman" and such.

All of the other kexts loaded are stock extensions from Apple, a part of the OS. The line for "com.apple.filesystems.exfat" is most likely the OS unloading a kext for the exFAT filesystem, after I ejected an external USB drive formatted as exFAT hours before the panic occured. This means it should be unrelated to the panic, as seen by the timestamp in nanoseconds.

Does anyone know if having replaced the RAM on your own will give Apple reason to not do the repair?

That sure looks like the ones others have used to get their motherboards replaced.

But I do not speak for Apple. The special diagnostic is what they are using as the decider.

Alas, another example of my misplaced confidence in Apple quality. Another day, another Mac, another problem. After living through the horrors of defective hardware of an eMac, a PowerBook G3, a PowerBook G4, a MacBook Pro 17, now it is the 2010 MacBook Pro i5 15 that joins this group with a design or manufacturing flaw.

For the last 2 weeks or so, my MacBook Pro i5 15" 2010 has started experiencing random but frequent panic reboots even when no particular app was running or if running no work was being done. The worst case was when it crashed/rebooted with iPhoto open and corrupting the Library, that took hours to rebuild.

Initially the panic happened when I set the lower left corner of the primary screen to act as a screensaver trigger and it seems a brief mouse passover that spot caused a panic. Since then I disabled that option and still have had these panics, at random.

The crash report sent to Apple shows NVRM

After having MANY panics as described here, i.e.

NVRM[0/1:0:0]

I was able to bring my MBP in to the store and they replaced the logic board (which is the only way to replace the Nvidia GPU).

It's been almost a week now, and it's working fine, including in situations where I was able to replicate the panics pretty easily.

I have re-installed OS 10.8.3 and still having panics each time I start iphoto 8.1.2. When I boot in safe mode iphot works fine. Any idea about what is wrong with my MBP?

For owners of the MacBook Pro 6,2 MacBook Pro (15-inch, Mid 2010):

If you have the line in your Panic report shown as the title of this thread, you very likely have the Hardware error described in:

TS4088- MacBook Pro (15-inch, Mid 2010): Intermittent black screen or loss of video

Take a printed copy of that bulletin, as a hedge against technicians who are not familiar with the program, and make a Genius Bar appointment.

They need to run the SPECIAL diagnostic described in that bulletin. DO NOT Leave until they have run that special diagnostic -- they will not find this problem on their standard overnight run.

If it fails the SPECIAL diagnostic, you should discuss having them replace you motherboard under that program.

Please make a backup before you hand over your Mac -- they may have to send it to a depot.

Grant,

Do you or any of the others know the exact error code that you're supposed to recieve on running the diagnostic? I've been having the exact same problems, and I won't bore you with the repititive details, but when I took my MBP in for the test, they told me that they ran the VST several times, but my computer wasn't triggering the right code that corresponds to this logic board problem amongst Apple's files.

I tried asking them what that code was, and what the one that I recieved was, but they kept bullshitting me saying that it was confidential. An error code? Confidential? Anyone know what result I'm supposed to recieve and how I can know that these guys aren't lying to me? This is not a Genius Bar, this is just an Apple-authorised service centre. The country I live in doesn't have a Genius Bar. They've tried blaming everything from my 4Gb RAM, which is apparently too low and could be triggering kernel panics, to my MDP-to-HDMI adapter, which "if not according to Apple's regulations can cause kernel panics".

They wouldn't accept a fresh install on an external HD that I gave them to demonstrate the panics. They said something might be wrong with it (the brand-new harddrive with the sticker still on), and that they have a policy about using user devices for the safety of their equipment and whatnot.

I'm tired and jaded, and I gave up on resolving this issue until recently it became unbearable. I'm going to take them a fresh install on a partition on my Mac's HD. My LCD's damaged, so I can only use an exernal screen (which rules out gfxCardStatus).

Anyone have any other tips for dealing with them? I'll also need the exact error code that you should get to qualify for this repair. God, why does this need to be such a struggle...

I recommend you to ask about what is causing the error, they have to gave you a diagnostic...

In my case running the VST didn't help, no error was triggered, but it was obvious that someting very wrong was happening, just as described in TS4088. So the Authorized service stay a few days with the macbook in order to reproduce the errror themselfs. They could reproduce the error a few times in one day and that was enoght to tell Apple and replace the logic board with this plan, because simpthoms were exactly the same as described.

Since they replced the logic board no more kernel panics ever! my macbook is working perfectly... so it's a prove the the VST not always detect the problem.

Hope you could solve this, keep trying!
