I was using it in discrete mode because accordingn to gfxCardStatus it could not switch to integrated mode with an external monitor. Its when it accesses some of the discrete card memory (at position xxx...) I suspect , that the machine has a kernel panic and indicates its dissatisfaction by becoming non-responsive. What I am saying is that there are multiple problems at play. In integrated mode it accesses main memory for video (I think) but discrete has its own dedicated VRAM.

Hello, I'm not sure if this has been mentioned but I had this problem and was able to get it to go away...

Install gfxCardStatus if you havent already. First make sure System Preferences is closed. Then use gfxCardStatus to set to the higher power card ( Discrete Only ). Open System Preferences and go into Energy Saver. There should be a difference where it normally says 'Automatic graphics switching' with a check box in front of it, it will instead have selection options for "higher performace" or "better battery" life. Pick higher performance. It will still switch between the cards fine just without the tint change.

This option only appears if you enter system prefs then energy saver while using the higher power card.

Hope this helps someone.

Nathan

(also you dont really need gfxCardStatus, you just need to make sure the higher power card is running)

Thanks djanthonyw

"Disable automatic graphics switcing under energy panel preferences."

this worked for me

I use blue light filters from http://sleepshield.com, they are awesome and fit any Apple product perfectly. I already feel im sleeping better.

Since yesterday, my coumputer suddenly crashes. Startup is slow often but normal sometimes.

I saw the blue screen once when it happened the forst time. After that, it has crashed when I have not been in front of the machine.

using the gfxcardstatus as a fix to use only the integrated graphics card is not a solution, as graphics intensive programs won't let you use just the integrated card. you can use your computer as a fancy typewriter/wordprocessor but that is about it.

Then just turn off Automatic Graphics Switching in System Preferences>Energy saver. I did this years ago.
