StarForge Posted August 5, 2012 Share Posted August 5, 2012 I'm also experiencing the same problems with my ASUS GeForce 550Ti GTX.Blue screen on changing resolution, artefacts after waking from display sleep (or not waking at all), resuming from computer sleep doesn't work. Had no problem with my now almost dead GeForce 8800GTS, but foolishly read somewhere that the card (above) worked OOB and bought it a week ago so I'm thinking of going back to Lion for now. EDIT: replaced the 550 Ti GTX with a 640 GT and everything is right as rain. 1 Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/280742-solvednvidia-gts-450-blue-screen-after-changing-resolution/page/2/#findComment-1841370 Share on other sites More sharing options...
AREOS Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 (edited) Hi, I have a G74SX laptop and I have the same issues with the GTX 560m. I have done some test. I tried Mountain Lion DP1,DP2, DP3, DP4 and now GM. The issue start in DP3 Version 206j, then DP4, and GM the issue remain. The problem is not related to the NVDAGF100hal or the NVDAResman kext is related to the Graphics Acceleration Kext (Geforce, GeforceGA, GeforceGLDriver, GeforceVa) I tried to use the DP3178Q Drivers on DP4 or GM but it doesn't work. If some knows a way to use the Geforce kext from DP3178Q in GM I´m sure it will solve our problems. Good Luck Edited August 13, 2012 by AREOS Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/280742-solvednvidia-gts-450-blue-screen-after-changing-resolution/page/2/#findComment-1843719 Share on other sites More sharing options...
mkMoSs Posted August 15, 2012 Share Posted August 15, 2012 Nobody has any info on this? Or any kind of solution? It's really weird. It seems that the problem lies with NVIDIA GT / GTS / GTX 4xx / 5xx cards mobile or not. In my case I have noticed that if I boot ML with the HDMI plugged in (Vaio laptop with GT 540m 1GB) the display works correctly (mirror mode) and no blue screen, however if I try to change resolutions, I get the blue screen. I might be lucky here cause my external hdmi display and my laptop panel have the same resolution (1920x1080) so it doesn't change the resolution if I unplug and re-plug the hdmi later. But still if I boot ML without hdmi connected and try to connect it later, I get blue screen... I really hope that someone figures out what is wrong and maybe provide a fix. Lots of people are suffering from this apparently. My knowledge is limited I don't even know where to begin searching for what causes this problem. Edit: Just to show that everything works correctly with my card, except from this annoyance I even hex-edited the GeForceGLDriver.bundle to enable OpenCL on my card and works beautifully. I also have a patched DSDT and so my GraphicsEnabler is set to No. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/280742-solvednvidia-gts-450-blue-screen-after-changing-resolution/page/2/#findComment-1844226 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Using GTS 450. Um what? Playing games is irrelevant here, but if it matters to you yes, games play fine in general. Like everyone in this topic, the problem lies when changing resolution and/or plugging/unplugging external monitor. Something crashes and ML most likely has a kernel panic, and the screen gets stuck to light blue color.

RobertX Posted September 16, 2012 Share Posted September 16, 2012 ...GT 520 here(Zotac)... dual-screen issue only seems to happen if i enable mirroring on different size screens (2 1280x1024...one crt one lcd works fine) ...when i do blue screen connecting the second monitor(hdmi)...plugging in an adapter(dvi-vga) with nothing connected to it, brought me both screens back from the blue-screen ...ioregistryexplorer shows both displays being rediscovered(and i can change resolutions without crapping out) Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/280742-solvednvidia-gts-450-blue-screen-after-changing-resolution/page/2/#findComment-1853101 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colask8 Posted September 21, 2012 Share Posted September 21, 2012 This is why I asked if you could play games, because I get this. To add I use GraphicsEnabler I didn't try without, since last time I tried before I installed latest drivers, i got KP.

This is what i get: "This computer will not support GeForce or Quadro Mac OS X edition cards." ps. My card is GT 540M fully working via DSDT except the resolution change issue. Any ideas how to force the driver to be installed and skip this check?

FINALLY! IT WORKS! Damn it has been so long, this was annoying as hell! So I confirm it fixes the resolution change / mirror mode / hot plug screen problems. (GT 540M) Thank you man!

x111 Posted October 10, 2012 Share Posted October 10, 2012 I updated to 10.8.2 and installed these drivers for my GTX 560ti (just ran the installer) but it didn't have any effect on the problem whatsoever. Is there something else I should've done? I have no idea how to fix this. I wrote more about this here Turning off the secondary display produces artifacts, a blue screen and then a crash on GTX 560ti Thanks guys Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/280742-solvednvidia-gts-450-blue-screen-after-changing-resolution/page/2/#findComment-1859598 Share on other sites More sharing options...
totoro81 Posted October 11, 2012 Share Posted October 11, 2012 It worked for me too, using Pacifist to extract the files to /S/L/E. Mirroring is working now. Unfortunately, this gave me another kind of issue. If I try to watch a video or record one from my webcam in Quicktime, I can only hear the sound but the QT Window stays totally black. Even the playback controls are gone. If I try to launch Final Cut X, it gives me an error saying that the hardware on my machine is not supported 'cause it has no hardware acceleration. I'm going to try a combination of new and old kexts.

mkMoSs Posted October 11, 2012 Share Posted October 11, 2012 (edited) If you had modified the previous kexts putting your device id etc in the kexts you probably need to do this again. You probably overwrote the modified kexts with vanilla. It worked for me instantly because I had vanilla geforce kexts and I had a patched DSDT and my card is working with full acceleration. Best way to go is patch your DSDT (and do nothing else), if that doesn't work, use GraphicsEnabler=Yes, if that doesn't work patch the kexts.

b0dyr0ck2008 Posted October 13, 2012 Share Posted October 13, 2012 Aw {censored} I broke it. Extracted files with pacifist and installed the kexts and copied the other files over. Repaired permissions and rebuilt caches. Rebooted and the screen size was well off and didn't have any other options. So reinstalled original kexts and copied over original files rebuilt and permissions. Rebooted and get stuck. I just have a black screen with a little white box in the top corner!!

I didn't modified the kext, the GTS 450 worked OOTB except for the mirroring. Anyway, I reinstalled the official kexts from NVidia and still Quicktime was giving me a black screen. But then I tried to turn off the computer, instead of rebooting... et voilà, it's working now!
