Blue Screen of Death When opening iTunes.

I am at a loss. For the past six months I have been trying to figure out why my computer has a blue screen of death and then restarts "nearly" everytime i open iTunes. The "nearly" is what's driving me nuts because every once in a while it will open ONCE and then start crashing again. I don't even do anything to help it open it just miraculously works every now and then. It even craches the comp when starting iTunes in safe mode. The blue screen error says "Page Fault in non-paged area". iTunes worked fine for months before this randomly started happening. I have tried every solution I have seen, even ones that weren't for my problem. So far I have:
Manually uninstalled iTunes and QT and reinstalled the standalone QT then iTunes.
Disabled itunes helper and ipod service before starting.
Disabling all other services and start-up items.
Installed current bios and drivers (as far as I can tell)
Installed current windows installer.
Updated microsoft products including .net
Updated Java runtime environment
Replaced ram
I have a pentium 4 1.6ghz with soyo mobo and a RAID card(mirrior) set-up. 1 gig of pc133 ram. I can ul the minidump if needed.
I figured out how to load my podcasts on my ipod manually but I want to get a video ipod so I need itunes. PLEASE HELP!!
Windows XP

there's a few more things worth checking on. but let's also capture a minidump of the crash and send it to someone who can interpret minidumps.
To set up your machine to capture a minidump, right click on "My Computer", select "Properties", select the "Advanced" tab, select the "Startup and Recovery" Settings button, select "small memory dump" from the popup. When it crashes, look for the MiniDump file. It's usually in the folder "C:\WINDOWS\Minidump" and is called something like Mini<number>-<number>.dmp.
send it to this email address
in the email, put the URL to this discussion thread, so that whoever gets it has some context. Also give as much information about the context of the crash (in the email) as you can.

Blue screen of death when accessing Itunes store

Whenever I click on the Itunes store, the computer crashes and I get blue screen of death.

You haven't given your operating system.
If you are getting a blue screen stop, it would help if you could post the exact error message. It should be some sort of numbers and text -
0x(zeros/letters/numbers) (CAPSANDUNDERSCORES)
For example:
Stop 0x05 (INVALIDPROCESS_ATTACHATTEMPT)
Also *is a file name mentioned* in the error message? If so give the exact file name
if you're not seeing a blue screen (or just a flash of one), you can use this technique to make hidden blue screens appear:
1) Open your system control panel (Start->Control Panels->System).
2) Select the "Advanced" tab.
3) Click the "Settings" button in the "Startup and Recovery" section
4) Verify that under "System Failure" the "Automatically restart" checkbox is not checked.

Blue Screen of Death after opening iTunes

I recently opened up iTunes (I hadn't used it in a week or two) and after a bit of time, I got a BSoD. The screen said it was "Dumping Files" or something like that, and then my computer restarted. What can I do to fix this problem? Also, iTunes didn't even open. It gave me a "Your Quicktime Software is outdated" message and then BSoD'ed.

Blue Screen of Death when opening Photoshop Elements 7, tried 2 different graphics drivers. What sho

So I recently installed Photoshop Elements 7 and it BSOD's right after opening.
I read that graphics drivers can be an issue so I tried two NVidia drivers (The newest and one a few months old). No difference.
The windows event log didn't show anything that stood out except the "was not shut down properly" warnings
I had it installed on the same hardware before but I did a complete reformatting of the hard drive (had virus problems), so hardware isn't likely the issue.
Windows 7 Pro
Intel D525
Nvidia ION2 integrated GPU (latest driver installed)
Samsung Solid State Hard Drive 64gb
Please help? What should I do?

what is the error message you get when you suffer BSOD
did you try installing PSE without a graphic card?

Blue Screen of Death When Plugging in Ipod Touch 4g

Hello,
Im reciving blue screen of death when I plug in my ipod touch 4g. I have updated itunes, Drivers, This happens every time and I suspect it happens when my computer says found new hardware reconizing the ipod as a camera because once I pluged my ipod in and it didn't pop up found camera hardware and it worked. So does anyone know how to fix this or disable my comp from reconizing the ipod as a camera? Thanks in advance
p.s im using XP service pack 3

have u tried pluging an other usb (eg mp3 or mem stick) it to ur compuer? is it doing it with these?
if its only doing this with ur ipod try the following
1 go to start menu and in the search box type in usb
look for device manager
2. open the disk drives and plug in ipod touch and removeable disk should show up
3, try usb drives updates
because the ipod has a camera most older computers running xp think its a camera,
if u have and usb mem stick copy ur itunes folder on to it and copy it to a computer running vista or windows 7 and c it its doing it on one of them, if its doing it on one them there may be other hardware isues with ur ipod touch

Blue screen of death when syncing verizon I phone

I receive a blue screen of death when I try to sync my I phone 4 with I tunes on my laptop. The initial sync went fine, I am connected to my Exchange server for email and have downloaded CD's to I Tunes, when I try to sync...blue screen. I have run registry fix and virus programs and have no errors. Does anyone know how to fix this?

The first response was correct, the computer (xps 1210) used a logitech camera driver that I did not recognize so I deleted it. The software was still active and crashed the computer. Fix was reinstall logitech software and driver. Updating the driver would have probably worked. Thank you!

Blue screen of death when La Cie external firewire drive connected

I tested a LaCie external firewire drive on my iMac and it worked fine. I packed it up well and posted it to a friend who gets the blue screen of death when the LaCie is connected to her iMac. She's not even trying to boot from it.
My iMac is 9.1 and hers is 8.1. We are both running Snow Leopard. Was there some problem once upon a time with chipsets or am I mis-remembering?
TIA

Create an ISO (Encore) or folder on your hard drive (Encore or Premiere Elements) and then use the FREE http://www.imgburn.com/index.php?act=download to write files or folders or ISO to disc for DVD or BluRay (send the author a PayPal donation if you like his program)
Imgburn will read the ACTUAL disc brand from the disc, which is not always the same as the box label (Memorex is notorious for buying "anything" and putting it inside a Memorex box)
When you write to disc with Imgburn, use the SLOWEST possible speed setting, so your burner has the best chance to create "good, well formed" laser burn holes... since no player is required to read a burned disc, having a "good" one from a high quality blank will help

Blue screen of death when connecting ipod or running itunes

Please help me, I get the blue screen of death and its down to my itunes/ipod i think.
Uninstalled Itunes (tried doing this in safe mode but it wouldnt let me saying you cant do this) and re-installed it but when try to use it (ipod not connected) my screen either freezes a few moments later or the BSOD appears.
Ive ran a windows disk check and a system mechanic 7 one as well, a few folk on here have said my ipod might need reset but this is happening without the Ipod connected so is still an issue?
My ipod seems to be working fine, obviously i cant even access itunes to reset it or see its status.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Have you tried this?

Blue Screen of Death when syncing with iTunes. Please HELP!

I have noticed a few others experiencing this problem as well.
http://www.everythingiphone.com/forum/windows-pc-and-iphone/blue-screen-error-wh en-i-plug-the-phone-into-my-xp-laptop-3038.html
Aside from the (don't use windows XP comments), does anyone have any information on this? I have emailed Apple a couple times but have gotten no answer back yet.
What is happening is that when I plug in my iphone to itunes a "Digital Still Camera" pops up in the system tray and then blue screen of death appears. Some people have said that all you have to do is delete all your photos and it will sync, but does anyone have any other suggestions without having to delete all my photos anytime I want to sync?
Thanks for the help in advance.

The first response was correct, the computer (xps 1210) used a logitech camera driver that I did not recognize so I deleted it. The software was still active and crashed the computer. Fix was reinstall logitech software and driver. Updating the driver would have probably worked. Thank you!

BLUE SCREEN OF DEATH when I try backing up on I-Tunes

Dell Dimension DIM 4600 Windows XP Samsung DVD-ROM SD-616E and TEAC DVD+RW DV-W58E
Just purchased I Pod. Tried to back-up using my songs through file>back up to disc>back up entire iTunes library and playlists. I put in a DVD+RW disc. It starts the process, then all of sudden my system crashes and gets the blue screen. (10.85 GB)
It has FILE_SYSTEM
STOP: 0x00000022 (0x0004021a, 0xed25ae84, 0xed25ab80, 0x804e8429)
I tried backing up my purchases to DVD-R (105.6 MB) and that worked. Is there anything I can do? Help!!!

When I was doing my backup, I got the blue screen of death as well. I rebooted my computer, and when I opened iTunes, it actually started where it left off with the back up.

Blue screen of death when i go to sync

I got an ipod classsic 6th generation. When I connect it to itunes it begins to sync but then it freezes and goes to the blue screen of death. Numbers appear which I will post later. Please help!

There IS another way to try this.
Boot to Windows and right-click My Computer or My Documents and open as "explore". Insert the Leopard disk. If it offers to install STOP it. Click on the LEFT side the plus sign next to the machine's DVD drive icon (the reason we opened the "explore" style directory). The Boot Camp files are now passive but exposed. Next right click My Computer and click properties. Next hardware and then device manager. Now you can one-by-one install the drivers using Windows hardware wizard. You might even want to drag the contents of the Leopard disk (drivers) right on to your (Windows) "desktop". In device manager open Human Interface Devices - you will find Apple Keyboard or whatever an iMac has there. Rightclick and hit Update Driver - the Wizard opens. Click 'no - not this time' and continue. Click 'install from a specific location' and continue. Next the Wizard gives you a 'browse location' option. Just click around until you locate the Boot Camp drivers in your disk or desktop and proceed - it will update, I promise you.

Blue Screen Of Death When Syncing Ipod

Hey so if anyone can help me i will love you so much,
So I have a 20GB fourth generation ipod (old i know) but it works fine, and i have an new HP laptop that i got for christmas and like for a good 2 months everything was fine with itunes and then one time it told me i needed to restore my ipod to factory settings and i was like oh this is annoying but whatever ive done it before so i just did it, but the next time i tried syncing my ipod the BLUE SCREEN OF DEATH came up and that scared me but i thought maybe it was just a one time thing...turns out it wasnt and now every time i try to sync my ipod the blue screen comes up and i have to restart my computer. my itunes otherwise works fine i listen to music on it and add music to itunes perfectly fine just the syncing doesnt work. I also thought maybe it could be my ipod because it is old so i went down to my desktop which has XP and and older version of itunes but it worked completly fine. SOOOOOOOOOOO i have no idea what to do. i dont know tons about computers but im not ******** and can most likely follow directions so if anyone could help me it would be much apreciated because i can not take listening to the god awful radio in the car much longer.

Have you tried System Restore to go back to before the problem started?
If that fixes the Blue Screen Of Death issue, then you can try and track down the changes from then to when the problem started.
Good Luck.

Blue screen of death when disconnecting iPhone from computer

So I bought the iPhone and even though I own a Mac I decided to connect it to my work PC which happens to run Windows XP. Everything worked great until I took a picture with the iPhone. As soon as I connected the iPhone, the computer crashed with a blue screen of death. So I looked it up on the forums here and found the article that talks about what COULD be the issue. What Apple is saying with that article basiclly is that this is "your" problem and not theirs so good luck trying to find which one of the 50 drivers that I have on my machine causes the issue. I tried to fix it by updating the drivers that they recommend and the problem is still there. Fine, I will not take pictures with the iPhone.
And then yesterday out of the blue (no pun intended) iTunes gave me an error message when I connected the iPhone, I didn't pay any attention to it and dismissed it only to find out that now every time I remove the iPhone from the computer, it crashes it with a blue screen of death. So now I can't sync the iPhone at all! How much more unsaved work am I going to loss because of this product?
On a personal note, I am a huge fan of Apple's products but I am extremely upset about this. Not only did Apple create a sloppy software implementation, they are making it look like it's a Windows problem. None of the other products that are installed on my machine cause my computer to crash like that, and if I do have an outdated driver (which I doubt!) then the developers of those products have found a way to deal with them WITHOUT crashing!
Please advise

ok. first I couldn't log in with my previous nickname (not sure why) so I created a new one. Anyways, thank you for your reply and I'm sorry for coming off like jack it's just that losing your data three times will do that to you. I will tunnel my anger back at Microsoft I guess.
In any event, I went back and took a look at my drivers and didn't find any Lexmark or Logitec in there, however I decided to remove the built-in camera driver that came with the laptop and that seemed to work (it turns out that Logitec makes that camera!). I also moved the USB cable to a different port on the computer and now I don't get the blue screen when I disconnect the iPhone.
Thanks again for your help, it seems like I am safely syncing again
p.s. since I can't log in as the original author you might want to have a mod mark the question as answered. thanks.
