iMac keeps restarting itself


Recommended Posts

My iMac restarts itself at least 3 times a day, usually when it's in standby mode. Running Mavericks. Below is a copy of the error report. Took it to apple store and they replaced the hard drive but it still does it. Please help

I'm guessing that these logs are pointing us towards a problem with the video card or driver for the video card. Did the Apple store folk run their hardware test suite on your machine before replacing the hard drive?

Online I found this thread. Which at the bottom of the first page suggests installing something called gfxcardstatus and setting it to use integrated graphics only.

EDIT: someone else suggested this as a solution: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht3964

The iMac only has one graphics card - GFXCardStatus will make no difference.

NVRM Read Error normally suggests a hardware problem with the GPU.

The forum I linked suggested that it could be either a GPU or a main-board hardware issue. But, some of the suggestions I linked solved it for some people. In particular, he should still try the steps in the EDIT comments (and ignore the GFXCardStatus if there isn't an integrated gpu)

Try running the hardware test (AHT) yourself, it might just point you at a piece of suspect hardware.

http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1509

Something is fishy about their actually opening up your machine and replacing the drive while the panic log is saying GPU. They might not want to do a whole logic board replacement. :/

MLB's are fiddly, but it's not a difficult repair. Dunno why they wouldn't want to do it :(.

The 2010 MBP's suffered from the same error when the nvidia card in them failed.
