Screen freezes and blinks after the update to 10.11.6

Hello!

I have a Macbook Pro for mid-2007, which has helped a lot, was powerful and as stable as steel. I've never had or known major bugs since I have. Leopard 10.5 aka El Capitan 10.11.5, nothing to notice. The usual Mac you need: solid, stable and fast. I have an IntelCore 2 Duo, 4 GB of RAM, Samsung SSD 840 series, the old Fujitsu HDD for storage and a Nvidia GeForce 8600 M GT graphics chipset.

But the nightmare started when install the last update of El Capitan: OS 10.11.6. Update was fast enough, just half an hour, and I'm going, with the last update. I was browsing Safari then my screen blinked once, and all that was displayed was frozen, except the mouse I could be moved. 10 seconds or about later, my system of defrost and I could use it. Until less than a minute later, new flashes and freeze again. And he began to be more bizarre than ever: Safari window displaying strange patterns, with little colored squares, bar menus, very noisy. Hard, I rebooted my Macbook Pro, hoped it was just a random bug. But no, it has reproduced, forever and ever, when browsing in Safari. So I decided to switch to Opera web browser just for a test day. And... nothing happened. No bugs, no frost, no flashing screens. I found the source of this Safari bug, so I went to the opera.

Until yesterday, when you use the Finder to display images using Quicklook. Flashes and the gel. When you are using TweetDeck, same result, flashes & freeze. Even if you use Opera when scrolling too fast: flashes and the screen. When you use presentation and Launchpad. And if this bug to reproduce twice, the display shows a strange patterns, such as Cup-a part of windows, bar menu invisible, etc..

It's VERY BORING. It is the first time in 8 years of work with Mac OS X, I have experienced this kind of graphic bug. The last time I encounter some bugs graphics but much more discreet, and it's in 2008 with OS 10.5.3, which was not very stable (the next version is much more stable).

I know this has something to do with the Nvidia driver. The same lines are appearing in the newspapers when the bug happens, like this:

> 31/07/2016 10:50:47, 000 kernel [0]: NVDA (OpenGL): exception channel! exception type = 0xd = graphic engine (GR error 5) error

I don't want to hear that this has something to do with the graphic chipset, because before the 10.11.6 updated, I had NO gel or flashes of the screen at all. I had never actually had. And the motherboard has been replaced in 2010 because the chipset was dead.

So, I don't know what to do. I guess I'll have to wait a few months the 10.11.7 next update, hoping that he can solve the display bug. And I wouldn't be able to install Sierra because... Well, my Macbook Pro is too old, so I'm stuck with El Capitan (but that's another story).

Thanks in advance if you have any tips that might help.

It is difficult to say if this is indeed caused by the last update or a (chance) sign is not material. You might be able to work around the problem by installing the gfxCardSatusand forcing your MacBook to use the GPU integrated or discreet, but not automatically switch between them.

  • Screen freezes and restarts after repair

    Hey guys,.

    So I just got my HD Motorola Razr Maxx return of repair Motorola Droid. Before he went to repair, this device has been reset to chance the two stock (no new apps on Store) and custom. This device was not docked or altered in any way other than with game store applications and widgets from Google. Until the repair has taken place, the device had system version 9.18. After that I came back from repair, he returned with the version 9.20 System. I got the camera Thursday and since then the screen randomly froze a couple of times. It is quite frustrating. You guys have any suggestions on things I should try or should I send it back to Motorola for repair again?

    Thank you

    Brandon

    If it was my phone and I had a backup that I'd send it in. Could give them a chance to do things the second time around. I hope this helps.

  • BLUE SCREEN: UNABLE TO BOOT AFTER THE UPDATE OF ROUTINE WINDOWS XP

    Today, I was asked to restart my computer for the updates be taken into account (not my choice seemed automatic).  When I went to turn my computer back on later, it went straight to the blue screen.

    Therefore, Windows cannot restart once again! It stops at the blue screen with the following message:

    A problem has been detected and windows has shut down to prevent damage to your computer.

    Technical information:

    STOP: 0 X 0000005 (0XC0000005, 0X7D7FBB28, 0XF89203BC, 0XF89200B8).

    Then, when I hit F8 and went through all the options (trying to get into safe mode), the blue screen just kept coming back and the last time, he had these codes:

    STOP: 0 x 0000005 (0 x 80000003, 0X8053355E, 0XF8A553BC, OXF8A550B8).

    I tried all sorts of relaunch option namely mode security etc.  but all comes down to the blue screen.

    Can someone help me?

  • Satellite A500 - 18Q - screen freezes and BSOD appears the screen

    I bought my computer 3 weeks ago and I have a problem.
    My computer froze or displays the blue screen. It happens randomly, without having to open any program.

    Sometimes half an hour or an hour later as I start my computer or nothing happens.
    I have windows 7 home.

    I need help

    Hmm BSODS can happen thanks to a software or hardware problem and therefore it is difficult to say what could cause this.
    The A500 seems to be a new model of laptop and I doubt that the dust could be the reason for the temperature more high which could cause the BSOD.
    However, you should check if the cooling modules are free of dust and it might be useful to clean using the can of compressed air.

    In addition, you should check if your BIOS is up to date.
    If this isn't the case,-> to update this!

  • brushes Photoshop rows and stops after the update to Yosemite

    After update to Yosemite, whenever I use the brush or tool Eraser, it stops or lags (I don't know what to call it).

    What happens is I can't hit the other shortcuts like '[' keys to increase the size of the brush, and even changing tools like pressing 'V', but if I click the icon it will be recovered.

    I checked the history panel, it stops there.

    I use

    Wacom Bamboo CTH-670

    Wireless keyboard

    Wireless mouse

    iMac (21.5 inch, Mid2010)

    I also did these things

    -Reinstalled photoshop and Wacom driver

    -If I use the mouse it works very well

    -Because the mouse is OK, I thought this is my wacom but used the brush in Lightroom, it works perfectly it

    -Using the clone as a brush stamp tool, it works perfectly.

    What should I do now?

    Are you running CS6? If Yes, go to Menus, shortcuts, tool Lasso or Photoshop constantly run when using a Wacom tablet. Mac OS

    and install the plug-in white window workaround. Let us know if this clears up the question

  • Table is the mutation of error in after the update trigger

    Hello

    In all of my table, I have columns EDITDATE and EDITUSER. So whenever a table is updated I need to update these two fields with the USER and SYSDATE. For this I use a BEFORE UPDATE trigger. This trigger is activated, but I get "ORA-04091: table %s.%s is changing, function of triggering/can not see" error every time I update the table. I used this method in SQL Server. I understand that Oracle doesn't have to be the same as SQL Server but I do not know there is a way to do this. Do you know what it is?

    EDIT: Here is the Code of the trigger

    create or replace
    TR_LEGISLATION_CALCUL_AE RELAXATION
    BEFORE THE UPDATE
    ON LEGISLATION_CALCUL
    FOR EACH LINE
    DECLARE
    v_LEGISLATIONCALCULID NUMBER (10,0);

    BEGIN
    SELECT: NEW. LEGISLATIONCALCULID

    IN v_LEGISLATIONCALCULID
    FROM DUAL;
    UPDATE LEGISLATION_CALCUL
    SET EDITUSER_ID = UID,
    EDITDATE = SYSDATE
    WHERE LEGISLATIONCALCULID = v_LEGISLATIONCALCULID;

    just put this in your before update (and not after the update as you mentioned) for each trigger line:

    :new.EDITDATE := SYSDATE;

  • Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit freezes on startup after the last update.

    I think I have updated a major problem with the latest update from microsoft.

    I've been running windows 7 ultimate 64-bit for over a month now, as I received it for a launch party I was the host.

    That's all works fine but a few nights ago, he just stopped from upward, it just hangs at 'Starting Windows' screen, the windows logo does not yet appear.  He would not go into safe mode and startup repair couldn't do anything.

    This happened right after that I had installed a windows update, but I thought that nothing of all this at once, but one of my friends mentioned that their windows vista pc did the same thing after the last update, still, I don't think not that it was bound.

    I had no other way to get the things on my hard drive, so I tried to reinstall windows on top of the old, it does not work either.

    I gave up, I formatted the hard drive last night and just reinstalled.
    Microsoft Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit,
    NVidia graphics driver
    Microsoft Security Essentials,
    Microsoft Office 2007 Ultimate,
    Apple's iTunes and Quicktime.

    The computer worked so very well, so this morning I came back to it, it was working fine, there was a box saying that a windows update was waiting to be installed, I clicked it, it was of course a big one because it was the first for this new install to get.  When he asked me to restart, I did, he went through his usual routine and now, as I sit typing this, I am facing screen "starting windows" frozen again.

    My processor is an Intel Pentium D
    I have 4 GB of RAM.

    There is obviously something wrong dangerously with the last update of windows, were there any other reports of this?

    Too, I recently had problems with Win 7 freeze on me. After you have uninstalled all the updates I had installed on 24 December 2011, 1 update could not be uninstalled and it was the update to sp1 of windows 7. After you have uninstalled all updates (except SP1 cause could not be uninstalled) I tried to play again the media and my system hang or aka freeze for a few seconds, and this happened even when I was gaming.  I had a lot of problems after that update, including any media type of videos to play just thrown music windows media player. After restoring my computer to a previous state (before that the updates have been installed) now my computer works normal again. So, for those of you having problems with windows and your way of thinking too yourself Uggghhh, why he did this? Well this is the service pack 1, windows now, I don't know any alternative to restore your computer to an earlier date before the updates took place, and if you don't have a win 7 is pretty smart and im sure they have a restore to the factory settings. These are the only options that helped me get rid of my system hanging up. I hope this helps some people and I'm sorry I can't guide you threw it and the steps how to restore your comp because of parameters factory all the comps are different.

  • After the updates of windows, the computer stops responding with a black screen at startup of the system

    Original title: Windows XP does not start after the update, no error message

    Has made no changes to the system, but the last thing that happened was an update of Windows security on stop.

    Now when I boot, the BIOS p.o.s.t. shows good HDs, good DVD-Rom, RAM, but Windows never starts, goes just a black screen, HDs are not accessed.

    -F8 does nothing, can't use the last known good Config or Mode safe

    -Change boot order in the BIOS to boot from the Windows XP DVD, hoping to get the recovery console, but the same thing: black screen, no attempt to spin-up DVD or HDs.

    -Removal of mobo battery to reset the CMOS, no joy.

    -Checked and re checked all connections inside.

    -Stripped devices and added one at a time, no joy.

    -Traded-in an old video card in case it was difficult to generate the higher res gfx, no joy.

    I was construction/upgrade / repair my own PC for 3 decades and can usually solve the problem and fix it myself, but this one me completely baffled.

    Any suggestions?
