Macbook pro 6.2 strange vga problem

[lefos]

Hello everybody,

Need your help on this one. This one has 2 gpus. One intel and one nvidia gt330m. It randomly produces panic and restarts. On the report it is pointed that the nvidia gpu has problem. I found a 3rd party program for selecting the running gpu. When intel is enabled no panic after a lot of time working. When you select the nvidia one after a while the osx crashes, reboots and has that report pointing into gt330m. The type of the chipset is N11P-GE1-W-A3. Has to anyone here occurred this problem? It has the latest Mavericks OSX. Normally selection of gpus is done automatically through power management and when it is judged.

seems a bad GPU my friend , very common on that models , but in any case , would be good cheking if there is nvidia drivers to update just to see if he can correct the problem , chek nvidias site for update . if nothing happen then consider in replacing GPU or nvrams

Thanks for your reply. My guess is also on the nvidia's gpu but before changing the chipset wanted to know if it is a common issue of that chipset.
I will change it then and will inform if it worked out.

Hello,

Finally after changing the gpu chipset the macbook works (3 days fully) without problem.
Thanks.
