This hack leaves the Discrete GPU in a higher-powered state, but much more ready to get to work when called upon. I have discontinued use of gfxCardStatus to solve the MBP kernel panic problem as the issue is better solved on 2010 models with the nVidia GPU by the following hack: To see the blog, remove 'releases' from the URL showing. NOTE: I do not know why, but this link sometimes forwards to the link above. In addition, Steve Schow writes that he has abandoned further development - because there are better solutions available. app for direct download - you do not have to compile anything.Īlso note that if your Mac does not run long enough to allow gfxcardstatus to be added, this is not really practical. There is a fork off the main build by steveschow available that seems to fix that problem for current versions of MacOS such as ElCapitan and Sierra. There is an acknowledged bug in the current version of Cody Kreiger's Open-Source gfxcardstatus, and the developer has confessed he does not have time to fix it right now. The alternative is replacing the logic board, which is not cost effective on a machine that old, unless gfx does not resolve the issue and you really want to keep this MBP. This may allow your MBP to run normally, although it will have reduced graphics performance when permforming demanding graphics tasks. It will allow your MBP to run on integrated graphics only, bypassing the discrete GPU which has the issues. Install gfxCardStatus ( ) and set it to 'i' (integrated graphics only). Users continued to complain at a low level that these problems seemed to persist, despite the fixes. If it failed, there was a substantial recall that replaced certain older batches of the discrete GPU chips. There was, after a while, a new Video Switching Test (VST) that could run for 15 minutes, then pass or fail. The MacBook Pro 6,2 had a serious issue with switching between its dual graphics chips, one Integrated, one Discrete. New charger cord, this computer works fine for her, pushing it to the limits. Cleaned, looked at, cleaned again, new guts, cleaned again.

Somebody please give me some logical answer. I get it home, 15 mintutes home and it crashes.

She had been able to keep it going for two days without finding anything wrong, nor did it crash. Today I went to pick it up after more crashes, she litterally had every single program going, all three browsers running netflix and amazon. My girl who has been taking care of me has worked on it six times. This thing is pretty much brand new on the inside.

This computer has be looked at, cleaned, brand new solid state HD, brand new motherboard, brand new battery.
