mac86 Posted February 1, 2006 Share Posted February 1, 2006 I have two brand new imac core duo 20" . Both machines when you launch front row the screen goes bezerk! I have repaired permissions etc. These machines are less than a week old! Anyone else have this problem? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ouch Posted February 1, 2006 Share Posted February 1, 2006 Sounds like a problem with the graphics gpu - artifactes can indicate cooling problems. Call apple will your still under limited warantee and get them replaced asap! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swad Posted February 1, 2006 Share Posted February 1, 2006 Yup, Apple Care is definitely your best bet right now... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mac86 Posted February 1, 2006 Author Share Posted February 1, 2006 I've already contacted applecare on this issue. They "say" it's the first one of this nature. They are leaning towards the cause being the additional ram I ordered for the video card. Hmmmmmm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
indiekiduk Posted February 5, 2006 Share Posted February 5, 2006 yep it seems 256mb vram is the problem according to this page http://www.macintouch.com/readerreports/imacintel/ thats really annoying since the extra 128mb is pretty much an unnecessary upgrade for 95% of users.

phb Posted February 5, 2006 Share Posted February 5, 2006 Ick. That issue sucks. Don't we all love first generation of things? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swad Posted February 5, 2006 Share Posted February 5, 2006 Wow, that does suck. Perhaps that's something they'll have fixed when 10.4.5 comes out - I have the feeling they'll fix quite a few bugs with that release. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
