One funny thing is that I can’t get the black screen while in BootCamp, but I will try downloading CINEBENCH for Windows and testing the GPU again. If I decide to open it, is there a way to really see if the GPU is the culprit? Like anything physical damage? Or some diagnostic software? I’m thinking about sending it to a technician that only works with Macs rather that paying Apple to fix it with a premium price tag. But CINEBENCH will definitely push it to the limit and trigger it.Īny idea on how much money it will cost to fix (GPU) with Apple? As this is a 5 year old computer and I don’t have AppleCare anymore.

And I noted that after a clean installation of Mojave update the temps don’t rise in places they used to shut down the screen (like giphy com). Working with Photoshop won’t trigger the black screen either. Perhaps their videos/site have better optimization?
My issue has been bothering me for 1 1/2 years approximately and I avoid it by only watching videos in places like YouTube, Facebook, DailyMotion, Apple Trailers, etc, not even 4K videos. I think I could give it a try myself if the answer is to change the faulty part, clean it inside, or applying new thermal paste….Ībout the failing GPU case: What are the symptoms of a failing iMac GPU and how long does it usually take until total failure?.
What could be cause of this? The heatsink not working properly? Thermal Paste? Too much dust inside? Advice before sending it to repair (not apple). If the GPU isn’t in use the temp will remain at 60ºc. I installed MacFansControl and all the values have temps ranging from 50ºc to 65ºc, with the exception of the GPU Diode that after reaching 103ºc or more will shut immediately. I know the GPU/Mac is shutting it down to prevent damage. I downloaded CINEBENCH to test this and after a few seconds of intensive GPU use I will get the black screen. The cause is triggered on certain web pages with videos and other heavy on the GPU sites. The issue is that the computer will shut the screen off and after a few seconds (30 secs) the screen will turn on again. MacFansControl set to kick in after the temp reaches certain temp while using the screen at half the brightest … So… I tried everything from clean reinstalls, reseting NVRAM/SMC to blow the dust with a compressed air can.
