Q: GPU restart question on a 2013 13 inch Macbook Pro w/Retina Display
Hi, I was just searching online and there was no freezing or anything, but then I see a little alert saying something about the graphics needing to be restarted and if I should send an error report. I searched the reports the diagnostic reports and saw this
11/30/14 7:23:56.061 PM DumpGPURestart[1116]: com.apple.message.domain: com.apple.crashreporter.writereport.gpuRestart
com.apple.message.signature: Kernel
com.apple.message.signature2: UNBUNDLED ||| kernel ((null))
com.apple.message.signature3: UNKNOWN
com.apple.message.result: noop
com.apple.message.summarize: YES
I was just curious as to what is this all about. Is my GPU going bad?
The only thing graphic wise that I noticed that since upgrading to Yosemite, when I restart the Macbook or power it on, when my Wacom Cintiq is connected to it, there's some flickering on the screen after I log in. Its something I don't notice when I power up my Mac Mini with the Cintiq attached.
MacBook Pro with Retina display, OS X Yosemite (10.10.1)
