Description:

Computer will not boot normally to my main drive, only to Safe Mode. Have run Disk Utility from the Recovery partition, reinstalled the OS (twice), reset the SMC and PRAM, confirmed the permissions for the Root drive, pruned the System and Library folders (Extensions, LaunchAgents, LaunchDaemons, StartupItems, etc.) and rebuilt all the system caches with OnyX. When attempting to boot normally, the progress bar at the Apple screen reaches the halfway point, the screen then goes completely grey for a second, then the Apple and bar return but there is no further progress. I am unable to get Apple Hardware Test to run. Have not pursued user elements as I don't reach the Login screen. I am unable to use my original Installation discs as my optical drive stopped working long ago.

1st)

Please provide the S.M.A.R.T. report

Hitachi HDE721010SLA330 disk0: (1 TB) (Rotational)

[Show SMART report] <<<<<<<<-------------------------- Click Here --------------------

Re-run EtreCheck and click on the [Show SMART report] button. Post the output.

I know the original Late 2009 27" iMac disks were not reliable (being the owner of said system and having replaced the Apple provided drive twice).

Then again, it was a Seagate drive, and you seem to have a Hitachi drive installed. So, I'm guessing your already replaced the drive.

But I would still like to see the SMART report.

2nd)

you have 3rd party RAM installed. Generally when it fails, it tends to just panic the system, but it is not beyond the possibility that it is failing in just the right way to cause you other issues.

Please run Rember overnight to see if your RAM is behaving well

Rember

<http://www.kelleycomputing.net/rember/>

.

Quit as many apps and background tasks as you can (such as menu bar items) so more RAM is available for testing. Booting into Safe mode <http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1564> can also free up more RAM for testing, by not loading any 3rd party additions you may have installed. Of course if the only way you can stay up and running is Safe mode, that is not going to be a problem 🙂

and run overnight

3rd)

Do you have any USB devices attached? This could include wired keyboard, wired mouse, USB disks, etc...

If so, try unplugging everything.

If using a wired mouse and/or keyboard, try using another set, even if you have to borrow them from a friend. Even a broken cable can cause problems.

That's just it - only 3 .kext files had the Vendor and Device codes for my card. Two were in groups of IDs (AMDLegacySupport.kext and AMDRadeonX2000.kext), only the 4600Controller.kext had anything about it separately, and it bundled the LegacySupport.kext as well. I've restored all of the .kext files except for the RadeonX2000 and it boots, it just isn't quite up to speed.

I tried several iterations, but if the RadeonX2000 file was in place, it just would not boot, and I can only surmise that the lack of that file (and thus the accompanying GLDriver and VADriver bundles) is what is currently causing my system to graphically be so much slower (and unable to put the display to sleep or adjust the brightness).

I am tempted to look and see if I can find pre-Sierra versions to compare.

Despite AHT saying nothing about it, if after erase/install it starts in Safe mode but not normally… I'd strongly suspect a graphics or related hardware problem.

Noting the time of a failed startup & checking system.log from Safe or Single-user mode could show something relevant. It sounds as if Verbose mode would switch away from text before showing anything useful; but you never know.

Thanks. Nothing extra there, although it seems very quiet, but that may be a 10.13 thing. I might try a clean install of Sierra or earlier if an installer is available to you, or whatever Shift-Option-Command-R offers if not.

Did this happen out of the blue one day ?. There's a thread here where post #15 claims he could use it after removing certain kext(s). Yes, probably different in newer OS version, and SIP complicates things somewhat.

Well, that certainly opened a rabbit hole. While there doesn't seem to be much editable about the 4600 driver aside from disabling ATI PowerPlay and perhaps adjusting the amount of Clock Gating (which I'm not educated enough about to attempt), but I was able to fiddle with a few other things like forcing a rebuild of the driver cache and that possibly this came about because of a change to the drivers with OS-Sierra (as noted by some of the Hackintosh crowd). I'm considering seeing if I can regress just the AMD4600Controller.kext to pre-Sierra (and, if needed, it's dependancies), but given other minor issues, I'm also wondering if I don't just need to get the video card replaced (considering buying a 6970M and upgrading while I'm at it). Part of me just says the bite the bullet and buy one of the newer iMacs (or the $500 Windows laptop that would actually play games decently - the cost disparity is sickening), but this is still a nice little machine...

Okay, it took a little trial and error, but I removed the three .kext files that had my Device number. Over several restarts and some trial and error, my computer boots normally, though there is still some graphic artifact, it still runs slower than usual. and games get maybe 1FPS, but it's noticeably faster in general usage than it was previously. The only file I actually had to remove was ATIRadeonX2000.kext. However, from what I've seen this seems to be tied into the OpenCL implementation and FrameBuffering? If true, both of these would explain the remaining issues I'm having. I found some success with similar issues on Hackintosh-related sites, but I'm not sure how, or if, I can translate that practically to my system.

There has been a bit of work looking at & modifying kexts for MacBook Pro's : example 1 & example 2 to disable certain levels of GPU function. I've thought that something similar may exist for iMac models, but not come across it yet, with admittedly brief searches.

I'd wondered about modifying AppleGraphicsPowerManagement.kext as detailed in the earlier link. iMac10,1 is already listed in there, so adapting the MacBook Pro settings oughtn't take too much. You'll need the Vendor device ID, as Fabio Roberto used.

I'll admit that the need for graphics power management on a mains powered desktop isn't obvious, but there it is (the kext), with iMacs included.

So, I finally got ahold of a TB drive (then another when the first failed to format properly), did a complete Time Machine backup, formatted the drive (with 2 secure passes), and installed the OS through the Recovery partition. I then booted, and the system had the same results. About 60% through the bootup cycle the screen updated (the apple and progress bar disappeared, then reappeared), and the progress bar didn't move any further even after waiting for 1/2 an hour. I did not create an alternate user account because I never reached the Login screen so I never got an opportunity to make a user account.

I rebooted to the Recovery disk and performed a restore of the Time Machine backup. It, also, did not boot normally, but I was able to return to Safe Mode once again.

Any other ideas? Is it just time to buy a new computer? (My son keeps pushing a $500 Windows laptop so I can actually play the games he wants me to play.)

Nothing glaring there to hardware problems, although the log at the beginning of a 'problem' start would likely be were any clues exist. It seems to have been running 'normally' in this excerpt, with Spotlight attempting to index, except that your display shows it stuck on the progress bar, right ?.

I don't believe so. Vendor 10de is NVIDIA. The 062e is the GeForce 9600 GT, and the 0655 is the GeForce GT 120. My original thought was that it would have entries for the two cards that would normally come with the device. I'm not sure why it has these two instead. The logic of the link's information is still sound, though - I should be able to affect the GState setting despite the card not beling listed, as I believe this entry is for the computer itself. Going to bed now, may gather the courage to mess with this in the morning.

On a side note - for some reason, I cannot change the brightness of my screen, nor put it to sleep. I previously could in Safe Boot mode. I become more and more intrigued with the possibility of enabling a limited feature set of the GPU...

It does, though the reinstallations and resetting I've done have restored the system to non-verbose mode. However, after a bit of digging, I found the information in the system.log. I allowed the system to boot normally then left for about an hour. Here is the last page of the system.log before I restarted into Safe Boot at 8:20.
