After I re-installed OS X I get a blue screen

Hi, I am selling my Macbook so wiped it cleaned by re-installing the initial discs. Now it gives me a blue screen and arrow at start up and doesn't want to get passed it. Well. It does get passed the blue screen after 10 mns or so but once I get my desktop up, nothing really works and I get the dreadful rainbow pie avery 10 seconds. I tried to update and the update doesn't complete. it kepps going 'round and 'round without getting to the finish line.
What should I do?

for purchases from the iTunes store do this:
ensure iTunes on the new installation is authorized for your iTunes store account(s). connect your device and right-click or control-click it in the iTunes Source list, then choose transfer purchases from the shortcut menu that appears.
for everything else check out this post by Zevoneer.

I'm getting "MACHINE_CHECK_EXCEPTION" blue screens

But this is not the same as the other guys :/
this computer is about 3 months old and just started to get this error 2 days ago..."MACHINE_CHECK_EXCEPTION" What the hell does that mean???
I was started a game, went to the track to start racing and I was sitting at 2 frames per second. For 3 months with this computer I've been getting avg of 100-140fps. So i turn the game off, as soon as i turn it off i get a Blue screen then it rebooted!!! It rebooted fine at that point. I try another game UT2004, play for about 30 mins, shut off the game, BAM!!!! Blue screen again!!! I figure, "ok i need to reinstall xp".
So i reinstall xp, I load the K8N Neo mobo drivers, reboot, works fine. Install Audio Drivers, I get a blue screen "MACHINE_CHECK_EXCEPTION" on boot, I uninstall it, works fine. I install SP1, blue screen"MACHINE_CHECK_EXCEPTION" on reboot, I uninstall and install SP2, works fine. Odd? Yes, I think so.... Now I've tried all kinds of combos here between the BIOS and whats installed. Most commonly ON board sound enabled, and the sound drivers NOT installed, i will not get a Blue screen...Most commonly. Out of about 50 reboots to test this theory, when every i install the sound device's drivers i get the error. So i'm thinking it has something to do with the drivers are conflicting with the hardware. But, this same computer has been working fine for 3 months prior to 2 days ago. I dont get it!!! Did my mobo go bad? Is there anything out there that can fix this, something i need to look at. I shouldn't have to use a sound card because the mobo's onboard sound is suppose to be fine. Any help please!
Thanks

Thanks I'll give it a try... also I got this answer for other forums maybe some one can help with this
interesting... machine_check_exception is a hardware related issue. typically caused with hardware and pentium processors, buti guess in your case its a little different. straighe from microsoft: "A machine check exception occurs when Windows XP and your hardware platform cannot recover from a hardware error so that the system can continue to run successfully and reliably. More specific diagnosis of machine check exceptions is difficult, and there is no general solution." You've got a beast of a computer there, so i really don't see why you'd be having much problem... i've heard overclocking is a common cause of this error, so if you are... change that. If that doesn't do it it could be your power supply, over heating, or bad memory. "
I'm not overclocking, and he did menition "bad Memory" So in moving that around I guess I'll have to try one stick at a time or both?

After starting iTunes 11, I get a blue screen error

So after I updated my iTunes to v11, it started up and it was great! Then I rebooted my PC. After logging in, I started iTunes 11. Nothing happened for a few minutes. Then the screen became black for half a minute or so and then I get the blue screen error. Now this is happening all the time when I start iTunes 11 or if I connect my iPod Touch 4g for starting.
Please help out!!! I want to open iTunes but knowing that I'll get a blue screen error, I can't. Please help!!! I can understand if you are getting the same problem.
Thank You!!

Not sure, but try these.

Hey Ishland,
You are not alone. I'm getting the same thing I'm running Vista. I'm reading that Windows 8, 8.1 preview, Vista and XP.
I'm thinking this has to be a Apple update to iTunes 11.0.4.4 fix.
Cheers,

I get the blue screen whenever I try to install the bootcamp drivers in windows 7

I just recently installed windows 7 home on my 2011 imac useing bootcamp.
Everything seemed to install fine however whenever I try to run the bootcamp drivers in windows to get my mouse and wifi and all that to work I get a blue screened.
Any Ideas?
Ive followed the exact instructions from the manual for OSX and nothing seems to work.

Question: Does the Windows disk that you are using have SP2 (Service Pack 2)? In other words, is your version of Windows a FULL version (and not an upgrade version) of XPSP2 Home Edition?
Having SP2 is a requirement to have XP installed on an intel Mac.
If you already have the right version then I am not sure what exactly the issue may be.

After wakeup I get a blue screen for a sec then my desktop after; normal?

Hi, I dont remember this happening before, but then who knows.
But, when I wake my computer up from its nap, I first get a blue screen for a second than my desktop appears. Is there a malfunction of some sort?

Hi poops,
I am hoping it is normal, my iSight wakes from sleep the very same way as yours...
I also access an eMac on a regular basis, and when you wake it from sleep it just goes straight to desktop in an instance, while ours go to the blue screen for what seems like an eternity but only a second or so before going to desktop. This is explained by our Energy Saver Preferences, I have my display (5 minutes) and computer (15 minutes) go into sleep mode, while the eMac lets the display go into sleep mode but computer is set to never sleep.
I would say don't worry, if it bothers you, set your System Preferences > Energy Saver > Sleep > Computer 'Never' but set your display to sleep... Good luck, Rick
BTW - I think it is a good idea not to use a screen saver

I get a blue screen on Windows 7 startup via bootcamp (Lion OS)

My Windows 7 works fine via VMWare Fusion, however since having upgrading to Lion:
1. Get a blue screen hardware issue starting up directly in Windows which appears just after the Windows startup animation. Using the windows repair doesn't seem to do anything.
2. Bootcamp now missing from the Mac OS 'Start up' target disk.
Has anyone solved these problems?
Infuriating that Apple have released Lion and it buggers up Bootcamp. I do not wish to go throught the process of partitioning and reinstalling Windows again as it takes days because I have to install Vista and wait a while for Windows to eventually install both service packs before I can then install the Windows 7 upgrade disk. It took approxiamtely 2 days of time to do this!!!
Thank you.

I can easily get into Windows. It is just that the drivers don't seem to work correct, and makes the screen dark.

HT1752 my powerbook g4 will not boot up. i get a blue screen. i have tried to start up in safe mode, but get the same blue screen.

My Powerbook G4 (with Snow Leopard operating system) will not boot up, I get a blue screen.

I need important photos and documents of this laptop, Even if I can just get it started up one more time. Need help fast! If you know what to do, please message back.

In the text you say you are using Snow Leopard. Snow Leopard will not operate on a G4 (or any Mac with a PowerPC processor). Leopard OS 10.5 is the max OS for PowerPC processor Macs. Your profile shows OS 10.5.6. What OS are you using (or trying to use)?

I get the blue screen loop when I try to start my Mac Pro dual-core intel computer. How can I get it to open?

I get the blue screen loop when I try to start my Mac-Pro. How can I get it to boot up all the way? Can anyone advise me?

Which OS X is installed?
Troubleshooting advice can depend on that information.

Lately, I've been getting a blue screen in the midst of working and have to do a cold reboot to end it. Seems to happen when I'm closing windows or quitting applications. Not always, but sporadically. What causes this? I'm using 10.6.8 on early 2011 MBP.

You have 10.6 on that machine, I suggest you stick with it for performance, third party hardware and software reasons as long as possible.
Consider 10.8 (not 10.7) when it's released, because 10.7 and 10.8 will require a new investment in software and newer third party hardware as it requires newer drivers the old machines won't have. (forced upgrade because of software, really nice of them)

Why do I get a blue screen using USB communication?

Hello,
My problem is that sometimes I get a blue screen using USB communication. I guess that most of the time the problem is an overflow in memory, so I read all the data that is on the port with which I communicate. I read two ports so there are two similar VIs that are used. There is how I do it:
I also communicate with a logger to acquire 16 channels. I read the information from the logger in two different parts of the program at the same time. Maybe this can cause an issue, but could it cause a blue screen? This is how I do it:
I once had a blue screen after the VI was closed, so there is how I manage to close the communication when I quit:
Do you think there can be any problem coming from one of these parts of my LV project? If not, what else can cause a blue screen in LabVIEW?

Are you using USB to GPIB (doubtful because you are using bytes at port)? But, just inc ase, I had this problem also with USB to GPIB, and it ended up being a driver issue I believe. If you are using USB to GPIB driver that was released with LV2012, search for the latest 2012 driver on NIs site, download it, and use that. See if it fixes your problem

I recently purchased Norton stuff and loaded it but dont know how to do all that stuff you said to do.
okay.
was that Norton Internet Security 2006? if so, right-click on the yellow ticky-Norton thing down in your task bar, and select "Norton Protection Center". click the LiveUpdate button. install everything it says is available at LiveUpdate. restart the PC if it asks you to.
open Norton Protection Center again. click on "Norton AntiVirus". click on "Scans". click on "Run full system scan".
once that's finished, and you've dealt to everything that shows up, do a spyware scan. if you don't have an antispyware program, download and install the free trial version of Ewido, and scan your PC with that.
ewido anti-malware download
once that's finished, and you've dealt to anything that shows up, go to the Symantec website (they make your Norton), and run one of their online virus scans. they take an eternity, so you may want to do that overnight:
Symantec Security Check
to do a disk cleanup, go "start > all programs > accessories > system tools > disk cleanup"
to run chkdsk (that's a disk checking/repair utility in Windows), close all active programs, go into My Computer, right-click on your hard drive, select "properties", click on the "tools" tab, and click the "check now" button.
to do a disk defrag, go "start > all programs > accessories > system tools > disk defragmenter"
