Zackptg5 Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 I have the Asus G75vw with the nvidia 670m graphics card. It works fine it ml with the open cl > 2gb patch and graphicsenabler=yes but in mavericks, whenever I attempt to play any flash videos or videos with quicktime, my computer completely freezes and the only thing that responds is the mouse (but it can't click anything). Any ideas to what's up with mavericks? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Bronxteck Posted February 7, 2014 Administrators Share Posted February 7, 2014 i believe thats known as the "fermi freeze" try newer nvidia graphics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zackptg5 Posted February 8, 2014 Author Share Posted February 8, 2014 I've tried the freezefix app but it did nothing. This isn't quite like the fermi freeze as people with fermi freeze will have a random freeze for no reason which I don't. Also, if it works in ML, then it should work in Mav. Unfortuantely, I can't change the graphics card. Is there any way I can fix this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darvinko Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 Have you checked your logs to see if they give an indication of whats going on? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zackptg5 Posted February 8, 2014 Author Share Posted February 8, 2014 Not yet. Which ones do I check and how? Is it in console after I restart due to the freeze? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darvinko Posted February 9, 2014 Share Posted February 9, 2014 Might be a Mavericks software issue - see here: https://discussions.apple.com/message/23547505#23547505 and the other link that is in this thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zackptg5 Posted February 11, 2014 Author Share Posted February 11, 2014 That would make sense since it's fine in mountain lion. How do I check the logs? I have to hard reset my laptop when it freezes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darvinko Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 Thought you had it - they are in Console Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zackptg5 Posted February 11, 2014 Author Share Posted February 11, 2014 Curiously, when I had console open while attempting to play a flash video, the system didn't freeze up. Only the videos didn't play (It was pink and garbled). Here's the console output which sounds like the nvidia freeze: 2/11/14 3:01:04.000 PM kernel[0]: NVDA(OpenGL): Channel exception!

Zackptg5 Posted February 11, 2014 Author Share Posted February 11, 2014 I think this issue may have to do with the nvidia cuda/web drivers not being updated: http://forums.creativecow.net/thread/277/27084 https://forums.geforce.com/default/topic/625494/nvidia-driver-macos-10-9-maverick/ *Update* Tried it again and the entire system froze. It seems that whether or not the entire computer freezes or not is inconsistent. Tried the freezefix app and there was no error when attempting to play a video in the console, so nothing froze. However, I got the "An error occurred" message on youtube and the video wouldn't play. Tried it again with freezefix and this time, the video played. However, there was only audio and the video itself was just solid pink Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
