When I open FireFox i get the blue screen of death and then vista restarts. I get to login and then afterthe welcome window it crashes and restarts again. I can open in safe mode but if I open firefox again it restarts this loop.

The other day I opened firefox after the latest update in September. Firefox then closes and then i get logged off and vista(32 bit) restarts. I get back to login and when I try to login it gives me the blue screen and restarts again with the selection screen (start in safe mode....)I was able to login on safe mode and then on admin afterwards. Thinking the problem was just an error I went back and opened firefox on my account and the loop started again. I was forced to remove firefox but I want ti back and I want to know how this can be fixed so I can put it back on my computer.

See below -- the way I asked the question the first time may not be clear. This post was a goof but I can't figure out how to delete it

  • I have a new iPhone 4 and every time I plug it into my laptop I get the "blue screen of death", it didn't do this the first time because I downloaded all my music from iTunes but ever since it has done this.  Anybody have any insight?

    I have an iPhone 4 and downloaded all my iTunes music to it.  Now when I connect it to my laptop I automatically get the "blue screen of death", does anyone have any insight into this problem?

    This will happen if you have photos in your camera roll and an out-of-date scanner or webcam driver. See this: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1502

  • New MacBook getting the "Blue Screen of Death" equivalent

    So I just snagged a macbook from my school's bookstore.
    I've gotten the "you need to restart your computer message" that shows up in 5 languages or so twice already in the first day. i.e. the Mac equivalent of the Windows "Blue Screen of Death". I believe its called a "Fatal Error".
    I don't remember what I was trying to do the first time (I /think/ I was attempting to browse my network from the sidebar in Finder), but the second I was trying to get a program called Studiometry (http://www.oranged.net/studiometry/) to connect to my iMac and sync the program's database. I was already connected via Finder (Go >> Connect to Server). When I chose "connect to server" in Studiometry a second after it attempted to connect--Kaboom! I can't get the program to connect, but that doesn't concern me: I'm more worried about keeping this suspect machine.
    Other than playing with the pre-installed stuff (iLife, PhotoBooth, etc.) I have:
    1. Installed Windows XP SP2 with Boot Camp
    2. Used http://www.logmein.com/ to remote in from OS X on my MacBook to Windows Vista Ultimate at work.
    3. Installed Studiometry
    There is nothing else I have done that doesn't come in the box.
    I had a PowerBook give me grief the first week and the bum crashed on me pretty hard. Not interested in that again and I'm thinking of taking this back for a new one. Ugly babies usually get cute in a month or two, but ugly computers typically don't.
    Any suggestions?

    Ever since I started paying attention to battery power v. adapter, all have occurred on battery power and none while the adapter was plugged in. (The first two I don't know, but all the rest were on battery).
    One of them actually happened while I was sending a file using Bluetooth from my iMac (still probably airport though since it was on).
    While this is fun and all, I'm taking this bugger back and exchanging for a new one. Apple can have a blast troubleshooting this for a refurb. :P

  • Getting the blue screen of death when connecting iphone

    Hello,
    Suddenly, for no apparent reason, my laptop to which I have synced my Iphone for over a year is crashing when connecting my phone to sync. I have a 3gs running OS 4.3 and Itunes is up to date. When I first got the phone, I had to disable the built in webcam on the laptop in order to prevent this same problem but it has been working fine since.
    I have updated all the drivers but to no avail. Anyone else having this problem?
    Thanks for any help!

    Upgrade that Acer Aspire to a Mac. Guaranteed you'll never see a BSOD

  • Getting the "blue screen of death" on my Toshiba L645 Laptop

    i guess thats what some people are calling it...
    its been happening for the last 8 months. Every once in a while, mabye once a week, and sometimes a few times a week, it suddenly shows a blue screen and it has said: PFN_LIST_CORRUPT  and  System_Service_Exception   different times...and then it shuts down and restarts the computer.
    is there any easy-fix for this? I have asked around alot and some say use your recovery discs, some say do a thorough bug scan, etc. I dont really want to have to backup all the crap I have on here... I have Bitdefender Total Security 2012, supposedly one of the best security systems out there, so I would think it would have found a bug if it was that...
    im no expert so I have no idea what either of these: PFN_LIST_CORRUPT  and  System_Service_Exception means...
    so any help would be appreciated! thanks!

    I wasn't able to find the model number but you might want
    to try recovering the system to the out-of-box state.
    The manual for your machine will have the instructions.
    You'll want to back up your files first. It takes a while to
    recover the system so you'll want to have the machine
    plugged in.
    To recover the original factory image using the utilities on your
    computer’s internal storage drive:
    1 Make sure the computer is turned off.
    2 Press and hold the 0 (zero) key on your keyboard while
    powering on the computer.
    3 If your system offers a choice of Windows® 7 32-bit or 64-bit
    operating system, select one at this time. If not, skip to step 4.
    4 A warning screen appears, stating that when the recovery is
    executed all data will be deleted and rewritten. Click Yes to
    continue.
    5 When the Toshiba Recovery Wizard opens and the Selecting a
    process screen displays, select Recovery of Factory Default
    Software and then click Next.
    6 The Recovery of Factory Default Software screen appears.
    Select Recover to out-of-box state.
    7 Click Next.
    A confirmation message displays reminding you that all data
    will be lost during the recovery process. Be sure to save your
    work to external media before proceeding.
    8 Click Next to begin the recovery.
    When the process is complete, a message displays indicating
    that the internal storage drive has been recovered.
    9 Press any key on the keyboard to restart the computer.

  • When I open and close firefox about 3 times, I get the blue screen of death. Why? Also Firefox only opens every second time, and I have to close it manually to fix the problem. How can I avoid this?

    I have to close the firefox from my task list. Before I do that I can't open any web browser. This is really annoying, and I have had this problem only after using Firefox 4.

  • What is nipalk.sys and why does it give me the Blue Screen of Death?

    Recently I purchased a 6211 USB data acquistion unit.  Everything worked fine until one day Windows Explorer crashed (we all know how rare that kind of event is...).  When I re-booted, I got the Blue Screen of Death, with a message about nipalk.sys being the culprit.  I booted in Safe Mode and re-named this file, and then was able to boot normally and re-install the driver software for the 6211, and everything was fine...for about a week, when Windows Explorer did it again (Oops!). 
    Does anyone know:
        1.  Which exact part of the install supplies nipalk.sys?  It is a huge install with multiple parts accross 2 CDs.  I could save a lot of time if I could restrict the install to just repairing the damage.
        2.  Can I just make a copy of nipalk.sys and tuck it away in some corner of my hard drive to use as a replacement when this happens?
        3.  I'm guessing that nipalk.sys is used by the little system tray icon that watches out for DAQ devices to be plugged into my USB.  Is this guess correct?  Can I turn this feature off for the 99% of the time I'm not using my laptop for data acquisition?  Will that protect me against the gorking of nipalk.sys when Explorer goes down?
        4.  What is this driver doing that its file disk becomes corrupted during a Windows Explorer crash?

    Paul-
    OK.  When I can afford the time, I will try removing all NI software and re-installing.  I have LabVIEW 8.0, DAQmx (of course), NI Vision development, and IMAQ. 
    I also had LabVIEW 7.1 on my machine because it was too much trouble to
    remove it when I upgraded to 8.0  I have since removed 7.1, but I think there are still a lot of older versions of the "extras" that came along with it still lurking on my hard drive....
    I was hoping for some guidance for a short-term "work around:"
    1.  If I just re-install DAQmx, can I make a copy of nipalk.sys and store it somewhere as a back-up to avoid the painfully long 2 CD re-install of DAQmx?
    2.  If the answer to 1 is "no", then exactly what part of DAQmx installs nipalk.sys?  It is a multi-part install, and if I know which part is responsible for nipalk.sys, I can repair just that and save a lot of time.
    To answer your questions about version:  I'm not sure.  I don't have convenient access to the disks at the moment, but they came with my 6211, which I ordered in May of 2007.  I would be tempted to call it "the latest", but DAQmx seems to get updated quite frequently, so let's just call it a "recent" version.
    Thanks,
    -Geoff

  • Every time I connect my Iphone 4 to my Dell laptop I get a 'blue screen of death' any ideas how to solve this?

    For some reason, my iphone 4, and laptop don't seem to like each other. Every time I try and connect it, I get a 'blue screen of death' saying that my laptop is shutting down to prevent damage. Help?

    Sean,
    Is there anything else you can tell us about the computer and phone?
    - Is this a new problem? Happening since new iTunes? Has it previously worked fine in the past?
    - How old is the laptop? What kind is it? What is the memory capacity? How much room left on Hard Drive?
    - Do you have any other iOS devices to test out this problem with?
    Another question: What are you trying to connect it to your computer for? Apple has made it quite easy to do essentially anything for you over the air. Just a thought.

  • Why is Encore 6.0 giving me the "blue screen of death" when I try to create a menu?

    When I purchased my student edition 6.0 (which I love by the way), Encore did not have any of the libraries loaded up on it. After reading some discussions, I downloaded the missing folders.
    Now, when I try to create a menu, my computer shuts down and gives me "the blue screen of death" as they call it (a blue screen with white writting, counting up to 100%, and saying Windows is preparing to crash...or something about the hard drive crashing....I can't remember because it goes off the screen so quickly).
    I've done this several times - my computer only does this when I try to create a menu in encore, and not in any other part of encore. It hasn't happened in any of the other programs either (Premiere Pro and Audition are the only other programs I have used so far), or any other times I have my laptop.
    Because of this, I am not too concerned since it seems Encore is the problem. However, I do not want any other problems to escalade from this either.
    Am I doing something wrong? Can someone please help me? I'm working on my Senior Thesis (a video) this year, and I really really cannot afford to have my computer crash on me.
    Please and thank you,

  • Ipad 2 is getting a blue screen of death

    Just a couple of days ago, my Ipad has started getting a blue screen of death. It gets a blue screen, and then shuts itself off. When it restarts, it's unresponsive for about 4-5 minutes before letting me using it again. When it lets me use it again, I have about 10 minutes before it starts all over. I'm hoping this is something that can be fixed whether hardware or software is the problem. I definitely don't want to have to spend $700 for the new iPad as good as it may be. I'm also serving in Manama, Bahrain for the next couple of years, and this island is no where near an Apple store.

    I would try to reset the iPad via iTunes, I don't think the problem is software based thou. I once had a mac mini which behaved simularly, the problem disapered when I changed the RAM, this isn't possible on the iPad thou.
    In the end, you probably have to do what Johnathan states.
    edit: I dont know if it's still this way, but ealier Apple have been giving world wide warrenty on thier mobile devices.

  • How to fix the Blue Screen of Death for iPhone 5S?

    I have an iPhone 5S and I never got water on it, dropped it, or inflicted any kind of damage upon it. But one day when I turned it on it kept getting this blue screen and then restarting CONSTANTLY. This is referred to as the Blue Screen of Death (BSOD). Does anyone know how to actually fix this problem besides just restoring the phone (I already tried that.)

    Hi ..
    If you restored the iPhone to factory settings and it still won't startup correctly, make a reservation at a Genius Bar.

  • ITunes and the blue screen of death.

    Over about the past week now iTunes has been giving me this error when I try to disconnect/eject my iPod from with in iTunes.
    +"The iPod cannot be ejected because it contains files that are in use by another application."+
    It also will not allow me to eject it from the Safely Remove Hardware function on the task bar.
    When I then try to close down iTunes it gives me the blue screen of death. I have the error code which corresponds with it, and the code is one which mentions Removable Media Devices as the reason for the error.
    I've read a bit about this, and tried a few things. But to no avail.
    I'm going to move all the files off of my iPod and reset the iPod itself when I get home.
    Short of that, is there anything else which may fix this problem?
    Thank You

    One thing to check is if you have any new or previously updated anti virus software.
    It could be trying to scan the ipod while itunes is trying to sync to it.

  • 10.5 Install Brings the Blue Screen of Death

    Hi,
    I could really use some help. I just tried to upgrade from 10.4.11 to 10.5. I'm on a power pc mac (12" G4) with 1.67 GHz. Here's a rundown of what I've done so far.
    1. Upgraded from 10.5 disc - went all the way through, but upon restart, i got the blue screen of death. I could see and move the cursor but nothing else.
    2. Manually shut down. Restarted with installation disc and ran disk utility - no disk errors or permissions errors.
    3. Restarted again with internal drive as startup disk. Again, blue screen of death.
    4. Tried to reset pram (reset-nvram and reset-all). Again, blue screen of death.
    5. Went back to install disc and re-installed 10.5. Again, went through successfully. Upon restart, yet again the blue screen of death. This time, the cursor is the colored spinning wheel. I've let it go overnight in case in needed a little time and it's still there.
    PLEASE HELP! I've backed up everything, but there are a handful of files I neglected to backup. Not life-changing, but would be good to salvage.
    Thanks in advance for any advice you can offer.
    J-

    I did, but didn't find this until today.

    I had already given up on a straight upgrade and instead went for the archive and install option which has worked without a hitch. All is well. Has even resolved my synching woes with my treo. Note that you should make sure you have enough drive space since I'm now down to a paltry 3GB when I once had about 12GB.
