DVD Player Crashes SR MB (4GB RAM)

[Jeremy1026]

When ever I open DVD player on my 2.2GHz MB the screen grey's, and a message comes up in multiple languages saying that I must restart, hold in the button. It did it on 3 different DVD's, 2 of which after a clean restart. I'm on 10.5.2, anyone else having this issue or know of a way fix it?


Edit: 10.5.1. All the talk of f***ing .2 has me messed up (that an the sick medicine.)

You're getting a kernel panic. Hit the Apple Support website for info about them and what you can do about it.

Alternatively, post the panic.log here and folks might see what the problem is.

Looks like a problem with whatever does the graphics. It's not a video card, since it's done thru the processor, but I don't know if it's a subset piece of hardware or what.. but most likely it's going to require a trip to an Apple Repair Center.

As a test, log in as another user and see if the DVD player crashes there too. If not, you're lucky and this is a (relatively) easy fixable problem.

If it does crash..

 

[ltldrummerboy]

I've been having this problem as well. This is the first I've heard of someone having this problem other than me. The only difference is that it only does it about every third time I insert a DVD. What are the odds of this being software and not hardware? Also, I don't have to open DVD Player. Just inserting the disc will do it. And not CDs. They work fine.

 

[bentleyag]

dvd makes macbook restart.

I have had the same gray screen restart carry on as well. I've set the system preferences to ignore the dvd. This seems to do the trick as you can still use other dvd third party dvd players, however I not sure if there is any more serious underling problem as mention involving the graphics memory allocation. Please let us know if anyone finds anything else out.

I've been having this problem too. It's not just a 10.5.2 problem because I've had this occur since 10.5.1 or possibly before. It's the only problem I've had with my blackbook and really hope it's not a hardware issue.

 

[beardboy]

I've just tried to watch a DVD and i'm also getting this issue.

Looks like a problem with the integrated graphics.

Apply default troubleshooting steps.

 

[xUKHCx]

I have been having kernal panics with DVD player on my MB as well, although not everytime. But it seems that there is an issue with the latest release.

 

[ZiggyPastorius]

I've been having the same problem (happens every couple of times, and only when it starts automatically after a DVD is inserted, which is why I shut off that option; as I hate DVD Player anyways), since 10.5.1, which wasn't long after I got my Macbook. It's happened about 4 times, as I don't use my drive much, but, it's still annoying, and doesn't look very good when it happens in front of apple-hating ass holes, who use anything they can to say you're an idiot for buying a computer you know from experience is better than any Windows computer you've ever used...

 

[oceanic]

I have had the problem in 10.5.1 and 10.5.2, but only once I had added in extra memory to take my MacBook to 4GB. The Leopard upgrade fixed the issue temporarily, but it is back now. Since I do not use an administrator login, there is no notification of the error sent to Apple.

 

[xUKHCx]

but only once I had added in extra memory to take my MacBook to 4GB.

hmmm

Looking through the specs of people who have posted in here everyone, myself included, who has posted problems has 4GB of ram.

A couple don't have specs listed.

 

[yellow]

Interesting observation.

I wonder if it's 4GB straight up, or the fact that it's 3rd party RAM.

 

[ltldrummerboy]

I also have 4gb in my 2.2 Ghz MacBook running 10.5.2. I get a kernel panic about every other time I insert a dvd. I don't know if it does it with less RAM in there. But it's Crucial RAM and I've done quite a few tests and it all looks good. Here's the panic report if anyone knows anything about that.

I doubt if there's anyone here with 4gb of Apple-installed RAM. I don't think that they would spend $700 for something you can buy for $150. So that makes it hard to tell whether it's third-party problems or not.

Well, some folks might have a work-purchased one, though if work is going to spring for 4GB, it'll spring for an MBP.

Someone could spend the time to test their DIMMs independently, to see if 2GB works normally on both sticks.

 

[xUKHCx]

I was just filing in an apple bug report about this when I want to check something in DVD player and boom down went my system. I didn't get this happening before I installed 4GB of RAM.

Anyway off to go and fill out the bug report again.

 

[SkydiveGuy]

Hmmm

Interesting....

I m getting this also and I also have 4GB of RAM purchased at OWC.

I have been suffering the same symptoms as everyone here. I just never bothered to check it out until now.

I have always sent the error report to Apple with no idea if they got it.

This is my first mac and from what I have seen since I bought this in November, Apple takes steps to fix things like this so I am sure a patch of some sort is around the corner.

Optical storage will be obsolete soon enough (MacBook Air doesn't have a built in DVD drive for a reason).

Is anyone else running Disktop? I was starting to think it may have something to do with it until I read the Panic report.

 

[SkydiveGuy]

Hmmmm 2

Ok...
So I posted, then tried to open DVD Player from the Application menu.

Kernel Panic!

No DVD was in the drive either!

Oh well.. good thing all I do is use Handbrake for the DVD's on my MacBook

 

[rfrankel]

Same problem. Running OS 5.0 seems OK.

I have the same problem with DVD Player on running OS 10.5.1. and 10.5.2. on my MacBook.

Running DVD Player a few times from an external drive running OS 10.5.0 has not caused problems so far, but my usage has not been extensive.

Before going to OS 10.5.0 on the external drive, I was using the 4 gb kit from OWC. I replaced those modules with the original Apple 2GB memory and found no difference: DVD player crashed with 4GB or 2GB.

When I ran DVD player from the external OS 10.5.0 drive I had the 4GB OWC modules installed.

 

[jegbook]

Known issue. Google it. You'll find lots of forum threads and postings on it.

From the testing I've done, it's a software issue with the x3100 driver in OS X mixed with 4GB of RAM.

Report your KPs to Apple. Call Applecare.

We make a fuss, they might fix it.

I miss DVD Player...

(it'll happen playing a DVD with Front Row, as well).

4GB SR Macbook Kernel Panic with DVD Player

I have tried inserting DVD movies in my Macbook and it seems every time I do this I get a kernel panic. I have read around and apparently for those who have Santa Rosa MacBooks with 4GB of ram have issues with this. What happens is that when you have less than 2GB of ram free, there is a driver issue with the GMAx3100 that will cause the dvd player to fail when a dvd is inserted and the system with freeze with a kernel panic message.

I was wondering if anyone on this forum has found a solution for this or had this happen to them as well?
