Blender 2.6x consistently crashes with a complete black screen on my MacBook Pro 2010.
The laptop has an Nvidia GeForce GT 330M graphics card.
I don't have to do anything special for the crash to occur, just open blender and in blacks out, restarts.
It does not crash if I force the computer to stay on the Integrated IntelHD card.
I can provide crash logs If you need them.
This crash only happens to me with Blender 2.6x
I can use 2.5x and 2.49 without problem.

Crash logs would be useful, have not heard of this issue before. If possible it would be useful if you could narrow down the exact release where things stopped work, that could give a hint for what the cause is.

by the way, I am using the 64bit version of 2.63 in the video but the crash happens with the 32 bit version as well. I am trying out older versions now to see which one first has the crash... will get right back to you on that....

It would seem the entire 2.6x line is tainted. I've gone back all the way to 2.60a and they all have the same crash problem, though it takes a bit longer. Also with 260a I was able to get a blender specific crash report. So I updated the zip file with that. All the others are crash logs given by OSX. If those aren't useful let me know and I can try to get more of these provided by the application. Sometimes it gives them, sometimes not, it seems.

that is good to know. i've installed the CUDA driver and now Blender 2.63 won't even start up. Considering the blackouts it caused before, this is progress. How can I find out what GPU Driver version I have?
thank you.

I would like to close this bug report. I did a complete wipe and re-install of my computer and for the last 2 days I've been using Blender 2.63 without any problem at all. Thank you for trying to help me. cheers!
