Mac Pro (late 2013) GPU freezes
hello community
I'd like to reach out because I experience problems with my mac pro (late 2013, 3.7 Ghz, quadcore). I have connected
two external displays (DVI via thunderbolt) and randomly experience the following symptom:
- sluggish interface or not controllable at all, often with spinning beachball
- computer works normally (music playing for example), it's just the interface that doesn't work anymore
After doing some research on this topic, I downloaded iStat menu to look at the temperature of my graphics card.
Here you can see that
1) my second graphics card is hotter, even though it didn't have to work at all during measurement and was even partially disconnected
from the display
2) the amperage GPU2 VDDCI is very high at 11.15
Now my question, is my second graphics card broken? This would be relieving because the only remedy against these symptoms is to
do a restart. This is my (own) companies computer and I'm really worried how and what to do because I really need it to work...
Any help is appreciated!
Kind regards
Yves
