Have you posted your problem on MacFixitforums or Apple support forums? I did a slightly different search and came up with this link forums.macnn.com As well as this list www.google.co.nz |

| 632445 | 2008-07-06 04:18:00 | It's all updated and I have catalyst. I've spent a while trying to fix this problem by reading forum posts and searching google. Looks like I should just uninstall windows an buy a separate PC. | music_man (5482) | ||
| 632446 | 2008-07-06 04:25:00 | Was this Vista or XP? | sal (67) | ||

| 632448 | 2008-11-22 11:21:00 | It's both for xp and Vista. I'm pretty sure it is nothing to do with the ATI drivers or the temperature of the computer as I've updated graphics and monitored CPU temperature (but not graphics card temperature). Apparently Apple had to release a fix for OS X with this graphics card: Ati Mobility Radeon HD 2600 XT. |

| 632449 | 2008-11-22 22:33:00 | How do you know it's not temperature if you don't even know what temperature the card is running at? Do you even know what the "fix" does? |

| 632450 | 2008-11-22 23:27:00 | Thanks for your reply, Agent_24. The fix for OS X was to stop the graphics card freezing. I'm not sure if the graphics card temperature is involved and whether or not I can measure the temperature with my chip. The graphics problem mainly happens when I do graphics-intensive things such as games and I am wondering if there is a fan driver missing. | music_man (5482) | ||
| 632451 | 2008-11-23 01:41:00 | The fans (if you're talking about video card) are controlled primarily by the video card's BIOS They can be controlled secondarily by software but if none is present then the BIOS settings will take over. It's possible that the fix apple published overrides the BIOS fan settings and runs them faster, maybe even underclocks the card to keep heat down. To test this theory you'd need to measure the Temperature, fan speed and core/memory speeds with and without the patched OSX loaded, to see if there was any difference. Could be a bugged BIOS on the card or a bad cooling design, but probably unlikely to be the drivers... |
