I’ve got an 17” MacBook Pro (model A1151) Intel Core Duo from 2006.īottom line: I had to replace the logic board. I also had a problem with my ATIRadeon X1600 graphics card.

You don’t need to reinstall OS X, just download the combo update and install.
#Ati mobility radeon x1600 driver mac drivers#
If you want to put the drivers back, just download the combo update from the Apple’s site and reinstall it. System/Library/Extensions/ATIRadeonX2000VADriver.bundle System/Library/Extensions/ATIRadeonX2000GLDriver.bundle System/Library/Extensions/ATIRadeonX2000.kext System/Library/Extensions/ATIRadeonX1000VADriver.bundle System/Library/Extensions/ATIRadeonX1000GLDriver.bundle Here is the list of files to delete: /System/Library/Extensions/ATIRadeonX1000.kext You should know that after removing these drivers, you won’t be able to play games and won’t be able to use 3d applications (Blender…), movies (VLC), pictures (Preview)… (*you can use other programs for movies & pictures like Chroma, QuickTime, Picasa…) I know this isn’t a concrete solution to problem but at least you will be able to use your computer without any display anomalies or system crashes.īoot your MacBook in safe mode (immediately after you hear the startup tone, hold the Shift key), and delete the files above and reboot. When I removed the drivers, anomalies and crashes were all gone. So my last chance was to remove ATI drivers from the system. In conclusion, my MBP got worse and worse over time and I was only able to boot in safe mode.

I even couldn’t install any Linux distributions (Ubuntu, Mint.etc) because of system crashes. When I boot into Windows XP, the splash screen displays anomalies. But I have to say that I haven’t had the same experience with them. Somer users switched to Linux or Windows full-time and they say that the problem seems to have gone away. This cleaning procedure maybe decrease some degrees of temperatures. You can tightly and carefully vacuum the rear vent (where the screen meets the main body of the MacBook) with vacuum cleaner. But there is still horizontal line as soon as the temperature of GPU is over 60☌. I’ve change for new artic silver 5 paste. I’ve seen that Apple Thermal paste was crunchy and solid. : “last saturday i’ve tried to change thermal paste on the GPU and CPU. I haven’t changed the thermal paste yet but some users did it. I have been using smcFanControl for years, which does help significantly, but does not help when the computer is running 78c at idle (even with fans at 6005 rpm). You can also set the minimum fan-speed for every fan manually and cool down your intel mac. This little application lets you monitor the temperature and fan-speed of your intel mac.
But before the firmware update (2008), there was no problem with temperature, temperature was still very high but wasn’t getting graphical errors or crashes. My MBP used to run at 78c (170f) at idle, wow look at the temperature at idle ! I even don’t want to talk about load temperature (around 92c). Overheating seems to be the important issue, once the temperature gets above ~ 65c usually system starts to exhibit graphics glitches, and then system crashes.etc. You can’t change your firmware, also you can’t revert to the old firmware too. After Apple updated the firmware in 2008, then problem with display anomalies began. Some MBP users say “I never had any problems with Tiger, then installed Leopard and all of a sudden my computer’s crashing all the time.” Yeah, this is true, but it is not about Leopard or Tiger. Problems with horizontal lines and system crashes began in mid 2008 after some firmware update.

I’ll explain them but first of all, if you have this problem with your MBP, don’t waste your time to reinstall Mac OS X, because the problem isn’t about OS X (Leopard, Snow Leopard…etc). In my experience, this issue is related with firmware and hardware. I also have the same problem with my MacBook Pro. These anomalies include horizontal lines on the screen, ugly distortions in images & videos and freeze ups / crashes (system crash) during normal usage. MacBook Pro (early 2006) users with ATI Radeon x1600 know these display anomalies desperately.
