Macbook pro 2011 graphics card issue fix linux update#

Attempts with Apple support via telephone did not resolve anything-they can only conclude that despite all tests revealing the contrary that the AMD GPU must be defective. DriveDX shows everything is 100% ok-no issues.

Testing the current SSD externally made no difference either. You can also run EtreCheck and post the report here using the 'Additional Text' icon which looks like a piece of paper. DriveDX also allows you to run the SSD's internal short self-diagnostics. The DriveDX report may contain clues about what is going on with the SSD.

Have you checked to see if a firmware update is available for the SSD? This can sometimes solve the blue screen issue on boot/login.Дid you replace the internal hard drive cable when you upgraded to an SSD? Have you tried removing the SSD and booting it externally using a USB to SATA Adapter/dock/enclosure to eliminate the hard drive cable as an issue? It will also eliminate a compatibility issue between the SSD and the internal SATA controller. If you get a blue screen on boot/login, then boot into Safe Mode which will delete some temp & cache files. Unexpected crashing and/or freezing up was never an issue before either. Attempts at recovery often bring me to a dark blue screen where it remains frozen. Otherwise it trie to start up by itself, overheats and won't reboot after afterwards. In the Energy Saver System Preferences, uncheck 'Put hard drive to sleep when possible' since some SSDs have issues with waking from sleep. Only way I've been able to keep it running lately is by leaving the lid open and changing the energy settings to prevent it from powering down or going into sleep mode.

As I'm unable to revert back to an earlier OSx I cannot even test that. A diagnostic which passes only means it was unable to detect a problem.Д«ut, my research on it indicates that aside from the fact that my problems began after Apple's High Sierra updates, completely wiping my SSD and reinstalling High Sierra has not resolved the issues. The App Store told me that my graphics card is the problem (although I still and not certain of that and it passed their tests).Дiagnostics only mean something if they report a failure. You mean bypassing the AMD card? It may be my last resort if the problems continue with my laptop. Nothing is consistent-it's as if the firmware gets corrupted or info goes missing since it will often hang on the Apple logo or go to the light blue screen and stay there. I've tried all the other startup methods too. Restarting requires multiple attempts and as it gets hot I have to let it cool down completely before trying again.
