HT3910 a blue screen appears at the start up

When I start my macbookpro a blue screen appears and stays. Nothing further happens ; can anyone help please?

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you boot, and again when you log in.
Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually login automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
After testing, reboot as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

There is always a blue screen appears after the Apple logo during the booting process. And then everything is back to normal. What is this thing? Is there something wrong with my screen or something?

Nah - that's just the normal boot process.

Blue Screen right after the start up logo

Hi. My first post - I've looked at other blue screen posts on here, but mines I think might be simplier to identify compared to other ones I seen involving flickering off the apple menus etc. (fingers crossed)
Last night I was archiving a lot of mpegs (and other video files archiving through winzip) to save room so that I'd enough room to allow the use of my new Lacie DVD rewriter (as it needs a lot of free space to use) after half an hour of archiving, I decided to watch a DVD instead and was watching on the DVD Player, once I got pretty tired, turned it off via the power instead of actually exiting the DVD player then going to "shut down" (lazyness on my part).....
This afternoon I go to turn on my Mac - I get the "Mac OX" start up with the blue progress bar at the start - no problems there, everything seems to be OK... Then after the Mac start up logo has gone, the whole screen is blue... I can still move around the mouse etc.... I have tried a restart with the command R+P etc... and tried to hold down the "C" button while having the instalation disc in after a restart to use one of the utility check things on the disc but it doesn't seem to even launch the disc.. It just starts as normal with the mac loading logo thing,, then straight onto the blue screen.... I have a lot of CD lists, and a lot of crucial info I need so replacing it isn't really an option although it would be no trouble if I didnt have anything needed on there.. Any help is greatly appreciated

I solved the problem yesterday (well a friend of mine did)
1) He started up the Mac Mini WITHOUT the install disc in, and as the Mac OX launch screen came up - he inserted the disc then
2) This allowed the reader to read it at this point (which is more ideal and suited) rather than the start of the power up..
3) You will hear the reader reading the disc, making noise etc. by then you push the "C" button, and the options came up for picking a language, once I did it went on to the usual utilys on the disc 1 installation disc
4) Unfortunatly I re-installed the whole lot (whcih took around 20 mins to complete) which earesed all the data
5) Good thing though was it worked after it, all fresh, and saved me a very high charge of 95.0GBP to fix it, and possibly more for any kind of data retrieval I wished to have saved
ps) it might also work by pushing the "C" without the disc. But the way I was doing it before was that I put the disc in, switched it off, and restarted with having the disc in right away to think it was the more precise way to perform what was needed, however it was not

TS1541 a blue screen appears after a gray screen with the logo and the spinning gear

start up problem...a blue screen appears after the gray screen and the spinning gear

Try using Disk Utility to do a Disk Repair, as shown in this link, while booted up on your install disk. You could have some directory corruption. Let us know what errors Disk Repair reports and if DU was able to repair them. This could just be a start in repairs and you may need a better utility to finish the job.
Then Repair Permissions.
No need to report any Permissions errors........we all get them.

Blue screen appears during start up

Hi! My macbook before it bacame a blue screen, shows that the start up disk is almost full but i ignored it...and then suddenly it doesn't start up anymore and shows only blue screen with arrow...pls help! I don't know much about computers! :(

Boot up in Safe Mode.
Startup your Mac in Safe Mode
A Safe Mode boot takes much longer than a normal boot so be patient.
Once you are in Safe Mode, you need to delete data in order to free up disk space, ie., photos, video, etc.
When you are in Safe Mode, control click the MacintoshHD icon on the desktop then click Get Info. You'll see Capacity & Available. You need at least 15% available disk space.
Then click Restart from the Apple () menu.

Sometimes Blue screen appears on Satellite M70

Hi there
I must express my overwhelming frustration with my satellite M70 laptop as I have it for more than a year now(warranty expired) and almost from the get go it had a problem in wich a blue screen appeared and the pc reboots...from the error report it is a problem with the graphics card and/or display driver.
I did take it to my local retailer for repair but the problem still remains(gone there 3 TIMES! each time waiting for more than a month for repair!and they did send it to toshiba service...)... as the problem doesnt happen *all the time* it seems they just didnt notice or something :(.
I did update all the drivers but it had no effect on the problem...
So now what?? Do I send it to repair and they finally replace the graphics card...but I pay??!!
This is all very upsetting for me as you might imagine...
And know its worse...it seems to be happening more and more...and many times the computer wont reboot after the bluescreen...it just stays black.
Now almost every time i turn it on it wont boot...the fan will just work for a few seconds and thats it.
Im almost certain the graphics card is defective...can I replace it at home? Argh this just feels wrong, the computer had this problem almost from the start and I sent it for repair...they just did not fix it...I shouldnt have to pay to fix it as I sent it for repair 3 times while it still had the warranty...
Please reply I'm desesperate and have no idea what to do

Hi Andrej and thanks for the reply
But the thing is I have already done that countless times...and the problem is still there...same old same old :(
I have tried seemingly everything...thats why I say its gotta be hardware :S
Having this in mind Id like to know if there is anything I can do(concerning hardware) without resorting to Toshiba service
Keep in mind that Im pretty sure it is the graphics card that is faulty(I dont know if its onboard or not)
Also sometimes when I turn it on the graphics on my pc go weird like an abstract painting or something lol...thats another reason to think its the graphics card.
So anyone can help me?
Thanks in advance for your replies :D

Blue Screen appears on Toshiba Satellite C660-11L (PSCONE)

Dear all,
I have this problem ... I believe that it is the display driver, but I prefer to ask you, because you are the TOSHIBA specialists after all. So, I use WinXP Pro x86, SP3, fully updated, without viruses (NOD 32 v. 5 + Malwarebytes).
When I switch to thumbnails and there are some pictures, when I try switching on my camera, when I even sometimes try to play a movie on my computer and the "blue screen" appears and the laptop automatically restarts by itself.
So far I was not able to find a driver for the model 11L, but only for C660. Could that be the problem? Please, support me with the solution that I am searching for.
Best regards,
A.D.

P750-BT4N22 Blue Screen out of the blue

I purchased this laptop new from the toshiba direct website Nov 2011 and have barely used it. There is maybe 15 hours on it and I have not ever installed any hardware and no software since Mar 2012.
The other day I was watching a netflix movie and the computer shut off. I thought it had over heated so I waited a few minutes and turned it back on and it went to blue screen and shut off again. I waited until the next day to try again and this time the blue screen appeared and the pc shut down seconds after booting up. Every time this has happened it has been too fast for me to read anything on the screen.
I have a feeling it is faulty hardware from the factory. Does anyone have a reson for this, a possible solution, or know if Toshiba will fix this issue for free (known issue, etc.)? Thanks, Joe.

Be sure to disconnect any attached devices, Joe.
This procedure will enable you to read the blue screen.
Turn the computer on and immediately press and hold the F8 key. On the Advanced Boot Options menu, choose Disable automatic restart on system failure.
Report the ***STOP error and any file name mentioned on the blue screen.

Hello!
I have a MacBook Air. I have got a software update notification couple of days ago. I've clicked on it today, and it started installing updates.
But, I have got a notification telling that not all updates were installed successfully, then I have clicked on "Restart" from the notification box. Then my Mac restarted and the white screen with Apple logo and the update progress appeared (like what always happens during updates).
The problem that while the update progress reached around half the way, my Mac shutdown. I tried many times to turn it on, it turns and the same white screen appears and the update starts again and shuts down.
Please Help me!
MacBook Air (11-inch Mid 2009)

Welcome to Apple Discussions
You did not state whether you installed the update while on battery (not mains) power. You are warned not to apply certain updates without being connected to a charger & mains power.
Also remove any attached peripherals.
Reboot in Repair mode (command-R at start) and use Disk Tools-Disk Utility-Disk First AId to repair your disk, and as long as you're there repair permissions. Next quit Disk Tools and reinstall the OS. After completing that successfully reboot, log in and do a combo update.
You must have more than enough (not just enough) empty (free) disk space for the update.

Blue screen appears on startup and at shutdown

A few months ago, I bought a macbook pro and it was doing fine. But recently, every time it starts, a blue screen appears for a split second then it goes to log- in. Then, every time I shutdown, it will also show up for a split second then shutdown. It doesn't affect the computer but I'm just wondering how to stop it.

I couldn't rember what time it started so, I shut down my computer and the blue screen appereed at 8:39:28. But went I turned it on, the blue screen did not show. So, I turnned it of and on again and no blue screen. I did it several times and now the blue screen isn't showing. But I will post the test that showed in the concel during 8:39, when it powered of blue, to the time I powed it on, when the blue screen did not show. If you need more, I will try to give it to you. I'll post again if it shows up again. Also I should edit out ethernet address too right?

keithfrommariettaOct 12, 2014 3:25 PM Re: IPAD2 very slow after IOS 8 upgrade
Re: IPAD2 very slow after IOS 8 upgradein response to pacoKAS
SOLVED: IOS 8 Issues on iPad 2:
I just returned home from a visit to the Genius Bar. Like you and many others, when I upgraded my iPad 2 to IOS 8, it became practically unusable. It was VERY slow, lagged whenever trying to to do anything. Lots of screen freezes and apps spontaneously crashing. I was convinced that the processor on the iPad 2 just couldn't handle the new IOS and I went in to see about restoring to IOS 7.
Thankfully, I was hooked up with a very sharp guy at the bar. The problem is not with the OS, it is with it being an *upgraded* OS. He used the analogy of when you had an older Windows computer and how over time (and over upgrades), they just tended to get slower and slower because of all of the garbage that was carried forward in the upgrades. At those times (and if you've ever had a Windows computer, you get this), the only thing that would speed it up would be to wipe the machine and do a fresh install of the current OS and then reload your apps, and the viola, everything would be fast again. Well, it turns out that IOS can suffer the same problems.
THE FIX: FIRST, be sure you have a current iCloud backup of your device. Connect your iPad to a computer that has a clean fresh copy of IOS 8 on iTunes (this is best done with a computer other than the one that you sync your device to because you DO NOT want to restore it from a back up just yet). Ideally, if you do this at an Apple store you'll be assured of the right version there and someone to answer any questions you might have along the way. You then hold the power and home button down to hard-reset the device and continue to hold them down until it reboots into recovery mode. You then follow the instructions on the computer to reinstall the OS on the device (which wipes everything from it and then reinstalls a clean copy of it). Once this is done (which only takes about 15 minutes), your device will reboot and ask you to set it up. Answer the questions about language, location, etc. and continue until it asks you to log into your iTunes account. Once you do that, it will ask if you want to either 1) Set it up as a new device, 2) Restore from iCloud, or 3) Restore from iTunes. Choose (2), restore from iCloud. This will ensure that it brings down "clean" copies of all of your apps and preferences rather than the potentially corrupted ones that might reside in your iTunes backup. That's it! It will take a few hours depending on how much data and apps you have, but I am happy to report that my iPad 2 is now running IOS 8 and it's running as fast as it ever did when it was brand new!
To sum it up, this process 1) Wipes your device and the garbage causing your problems, 2) Loads a clean and bug-free version of IOS 8 to your device, and 3) restores your apps and data so that it looks just like it did before the wipe, with the exception that it works now! :-)
Note also that by following this process you don't have to go through the painful and laborious process of reloading all of your apps, data and/or settings. iCloud takes care of all of that for you.

When I quit Firefox 7 a blue screen appears

When I quit Firefox 7 a blue screen appears. I go to quit Firefox 7 and then the screen turns blue and I have to press the power button to reset my computer. I'm running OS X 10.6 with the most recent updates. This seem to have started to happen when I updated to Firefox 7. I'm still checking to see if it happens on other applications.

I've got the same problem on my 2011 MacBook Pro (2.3ghz Core i7, 4gb Stock Ram, Intel 320 SSD 120gb).
I noticed it was happening a lot on a previous installation of OS X 10.6.8 using the combo update. I kept getting blue screens pretty much on command when quitting firefox, though I first noticed it happen trying to install Microsoft Office 2011.
I reinstalled OS X 10.6.6, updated to 10.6.8 using 'Software Update' via internet and the last couple months have been fine.
TODAY, however, quitting Firefox after closing down a bunch of tabs caused the system to freeze up and give me a blue screen. I remember I was able to replicate this problem by quitting firefox after closing 5+ tabs. Can't seem to do it on command now, but I'm hoping this problem doesnt reoccur anymore.
I bought an apple product based on its claims for being reliable. I need to get work done without headaches.

Re: Satellite A300-29n - blue screen appears on setup of XP?

Hello
I'm working on windows vista and facing no problems
when i wanted to set up XP on the machine ,after loading the files of the windows
it was written "setup is starting windows "
every thing was going well
a blue screen appeared (a problem has been detected and windows has been shutdown to prevent damage to computer ...........................)
plz help me
thanks

Maybe you should continue to use Vista and you will not have any problems. ;)
Which WXP do you use? Which SP?
Is HDD recognized properly? I mean can WXP installation be started or not?
The whole story is strange. I have A300 too and use WXP and Win7 as dual boot. No problems at all.
