My Macbook Pro freezes up or resets

Before updating my Macbook Pro and doing a full clean-up, it just froze up and I had to reset it by holding in the start-up button.

After the update it just resets for no apparant reason. I get the following error. Does anyone have a clue with what seems to be the issue?

RPCJ,


you have a 15-inch Mid 2010 MacBook Pro, and a number of these machines are known to have a defect in their NVIDIA GPU. Your GPU panic indicates that your MacBook Pro could have this defect. Apple had a gratis servicing program that was offered for three years from the original date of purchase. The servicing program is still available, but it is no longer guaranteed to be gratis.

Yes. Setting the video to Intel will disable the fast GPU which will definitiely slow down the rendering the scenes. However crashing will slow it down even more. Disabling automatic graphics switching should not slow it down. That is probably less effective but worth a try. These are only workarounds to keep the machine up until the HW is fixed.

Well, I called Apple support about this and after some back and forth, they suggested resetting the PRAM, which I did, and for now, it seems to have stopped the GPUPanic crash. I will keep an eye on this and post to this group again if this really did the trick. Right now, it looks as if the latest update messed up something that seems to have been fixed with the PRAM reset.


Thanks for your pointers though.
