MacOSX 10.7.1 Lion crashes (Macbook Pro Mid 2010)

Just interested if someone else is experiencing these problems?

In my opinion it isn´t a hardware defect but a problem with the NVIDIA drivers and Lion.
I also contacted AppleCare but they don´t know the problem and seem to ignore me right now.
Although i´ve found many websites where people are talking about this issue.
The latest entry i´ve found goes back to July 5th, 2011 (so this error also occurred in the GM of Lion) now there has already been an update (10.7.1) and the error hasn´t been addressed. Moreover Apple seems to disclaim it.

Are you still having this problem? I have been having this problem for months, first on Snow Leopard and now on Lion. Even swapped out NVidia drivers to try and rectify the problem. I have been forced to use my integrated graphics all the time and can't use an external monitor or projector because of it and that stinks. Were you ever able to find a solution?

@p410media after the first logic board replacement it got even worse. the second fixed the bsods but now my wifi adapter isn´t working properly.. i think its harware related

Yup same here, logic board replaced twice now and it's still happening.

@botchok5 my logic board has been replaced the first time and its even worse now. but they don´t want to replace it again right now.....

I have exactly same problem. Apple must provide solution for the common crash. Let's keep their phone ringing.

is this just on macbook pro or macbook air or macbook?

[gant0ine]

is there a place or petition to let apple know about it??? its really sad.. you pay an apple premium price and expect something better than that...

This is simply preposterous, Macs don't crash >.>

This is an issue with a large series of faulty Nvidia 330m cards coming with these models. I have it to. No software update, or part replacement will fix it. You can prevent it by turning off graphics switching so the nvidia card is never used, and down load the "fix" for these models apple has released, although it doesn't entire fix the problem. Lion always has more reported crashes then SL.
