Windows Blue Screen of Death

I keep getting the Blue Screen of Death when I am booted in Bootcamp.  Everything appears to boot fine.   I can load applications, but then shortly after using the Windows partition the Blue Screen of Death appears.  I have a MacBook Pro with retina display.  16GB RAM.  The Windows partition has 40GB dedicated to it.  Running Windows 7.  Everything was working fine last week.  I installed some new programs on the Mac Side. I also run Parallels sometimes.

I was able to fix this by restoring to a previous backup of the machine.  It must have been a bad driver.

  • Windows "Blue screen of Death" when booting computer attached to LabVIEW PXI realtime system

    Good Morning (at least in the western hemisphere)!
         I'm having a problem on two test systems where intermittently, at least on one machine, I get a Windows "Blue Screen of Death" error message when booting the machine connected to a PXI RT system. I reloaded the RT systems software yesterday (LV RT 7.1.1, NI-VISA 3.3.1) and am having this problem on two different setups, two laptops, two PXI chassis. Our short term work around has been to boot with the network cable removed at one end or the other, but these are the baseline models for a larger test system in the design/construction stage that will not be used by knowledgeable engineers but by (probably more knowledgeable!) technicians.  Any ideas would be a help

    Blue screens are almost always caused by drivers and not by applications, so chances are there's a problem on the driver level.  The crash log file will be instrumental to diagnosing this problem.
    Turn on the crash event logging as described in this Microsoft KB:
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/314084/EN-US/
    ...and then post the details from the crash found in the Windows Event Viewer here. That will help us narrow the problem down.

  • Ipod crashes windows (blue screen of death)

    Hi all. A bit of background info:
    A couple of months ago the hard drive crashed on my friends computer. They had to reinstall their OS. Thankfully they had made backups of most everything and were able to get most things reinstalled successfully.
    Now they are using a 15g ipod connected through a firewire port on an HP laptop. They do not have a USB adaptor, so gotta go with the FW.
    Anyway, when they connect the ipod the computer completely crashes to the blue screen of death and does the physical memory dump. There is an error message, something along the lines of a driver issue.
    I know this is vague information, but any pointers on how to proceed in troubleshooting this would be greatly appreciated, thanks
    Frost

    hi Frostine!
    Anyway, when they connect the ipod the computer completely crashes to the blue screen of death and does the physical memory dump. There is an error message, something along the lines of a driver issue.
    we can sometimes narrow this down a bit by checking on the numerical and text codes showing up with the blue screen. (ie 0x[zeros/letters/numbers] CAPSANDUNDERSCORES)
    here's a reference on the sorts of things i'm checking on:
    Troubleshooting Windows Stop Messages
    can you get that information for us from their PC?
    (if the screen is specifying the file that Windows is crashing on, that would be helpful to know too.)

  • Blackberry Media Sync causes Windows "Blue Screen of Death"

    I recently suffered a very inconvenient (and costly) "Blue Screen of Death" just after  disconnecting my Pearl 8110 (using Media Sync. I run Windows XP).
    I was wondering whether the Blackberry hardware or software had in some way caused this - and whether I should be concerned about using Media Sync in the future.
    Any thoughts?

    Who knows? It is possible. There are a couple of threads on here about this (although not Media Sync, just DTM). Check out this thread: http://supportforums.blackberry.com/t5/BlackBerry-Desktop-Software/Upgrade-of-Desktop-software-resul...
    They mention they found a fix for the problem they were seeing on XP (SP2, not SP3).
    I consistently get a system crash immediately on plugging in my BB. I am running 64-bit Vista SP2. I haven't found a solution, yet. And, I have a RAID drive, and have to suffer through a several hour image rebuild after the crash, so I understand "costly." At least I can still use the machine while it rebuilds.

  • Windows blue screen of death crash during Boot Camp driver install

    I have been trying to get Windows running under Boot Camp on my 2.66 GHz Alu iMac, but without success.
    Boot Camp partitions the drive and Windows XP SP2 installs properly. I boot into Windows, and then insert my Leopard install DVD to install the Apple drivers.
    The driver installation gets about halfway, then the machine crashes with a blue screen of death and restarts automatically. It puts me back in Windows, with no drivers installed.
    I am installing the Boot Camp drivers from the Leopard retail DVD. This machine is missing the Leopard install/restore discs that came with it, and Apple want to charge £99 for a replacement set.
    Is there any way I can get the Boot Camp drivers installed, or do I need to find a friend with the exact same machine and original system discs and use those?

    Aloha Adam.
    Don't know whether this is helpful, but below is a list of drivers that are installed (as of Aug 08).
    Also, if you have not already, you may find FAQ helpful, as well, at URL: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1656
    Lastly, though they're a year old, the Update 2.1 is in .exe format, so if you can get it the .exe download package onto your installed Windows OS somehow (e.g., copied onto a CD, IF Windows can read it), you might stand a chance of alternate means of installing the drivers.
    If this helps, please so indicate.

  • Windows Blue Screen of Death when using PC Suite

    I bought an E63 recently and by it's very nature I need to be able to link it to my laptop for uploading/downloading data. Laptop's a Sony FE11S running XP SP3 which connects successfully with the E63 via cable or Bluetooth.  Trouble is, I need to import all of my contacts from the PC to the E63 but in PC Suite, as soon as I click on <contacts>  <file>  <import> it crashes bringing up the blue screen.  Tried all the latest software versions including the E63, tried the Nokia PC Suite removal tools, tried only loading essential (windows) programs and still it crashes!  It was over two weeks ago that I contacted Nokia support and all that I've received is a succession of emails (from different people each time) telling me more or less to do the same thing and ignoring my comments and questions, eg. is their a log file somewhere that would tell us where the problem lies?  Tried telephone support a couple of times, hung on for 15 minutes each time only to be cut-off . . !  Beginning to regret I bought a Nokia if this is the extent of their so called support . . . unless there's someone out there who might have a clue as to what's going on . . . any help would be much appreciated.

    Thanks for that.  Screen says:

    Going to "Reinstall PC Suite Support" it comes up with a message that says, "PC Suite Support is up to Date".
    BUT, I have discovered that turning off Kasperski anti-virus everything springs into life without crashing!  So although I can now load my contacts, etc it would be nice to cure the problem so that I don't have to switch Kasperski off everytime I use PC Suite.  I tried putting PC Suite in Kasperski as an exception (accepted program) but that didn't help.  Any further thoughts?  Thanks.

  • Windows 7 - Blue screen of death after Boot Camp install

    Hello! I have done some searches with no answers, so...
    After installing Windows 7 from scratch I then install Boot Camp 3.0 which then leads to the Windows blue screen of death upon reboot. I then have to recover Windows to the previous state prior to installing Boot Camp.
    Help!?

    Most likely, Apple HFS read-only, which is AppleHFS.sys and AppleMNT.sys - rename those and see.
    You might want to run chkdsk after all this to make sure there are no errors with the drive and file system.
    Windows Explorer will not accept HFS+ filenames with special characters and will "green bar" and hang when it does, too.
    The faulty HFS driver is a valid concern.
    Rename AppleHFS.sys and AppleMNT.sys
    By doing the following you will disable HFS mount / read mode on windows XP, Vista, 7.
    Navigate to c:/windows/system32/drivers/AppleMNT.sys, rename the AppleMNT.sys file to something like AppleMNT_keep.sys or something of your likings.
    The faulty HFS driver is a valid concern. It seems to happen on many systems.
    You find it in Windows/system32/drivers/AppleHFS.sys
    Renaming to AppleHFS_disabled.sys will avoid the blue screens until you have found another solution or Apple updates Bootcamp 3
    After renaming both myself because they are no longer "*.sys" or something? they are gone. In my case AppleHFS prevented Windows Backup from running to end and was causing error "some files skipped" and while some might find reading convenient, I prefer Windows not have even read-only access.
    You can probably do better with MacDrive, or probably Paragon's HFS driver, to read AND write if needed, to HFS from Windows.

  • Error 13 = Blue Screen of Death?

    Thought I'd try this board and see if anyone knows anything about 'error 13' and Panther.
    I have been plagued by this error message which pops up whenever I try to print from either of my printers or burn a CD. This all happened after I tried to load a demo version of Adobe Illustrator CS2.
    Over the last day I have tried the following:
    * deleted the apple.com.print preferences
    * reset the PRAM
    * unplugged, unpowered and restarted the printers and their USB connections
    * deleted the printers from the print setup utility and tried to reinstall them (but there too I get the 'error 13' message. Printers won't load but they do show up as if they loaded. Just won't work, that's all.
    * tried logging in as a new user, and then the printer message is "Not enough RAM" to print.
    * repaired the disk permissions from the CD
    Generally I've done everything I can think of... except to reload the OS, which I hesitate to do because I have to first load Jaguar, then the Panther update, then the other updates. Last time I tried that things didn't quite work out.
    I do have an external backup drive, which also got corrupted as I tried loading the Adobe Illustrator CS2 on that disk too. Dumb I know...
    So... anyone know what 'error 13' means?
    Is 'error 13' the Mac equivalent of the Windows Blue Screen of Death?
    Thanks for any input...

    Hello Pawel,
    I have looked over the service request you mentioned about acquiring 2 PCIe-6537 at 20MHz sampling rate on all 32 lines. In order to narrow down this issue, I think it would be best to try only acquire from both cards without doing any triggerring etc. Also when performing this test, I would only want to acquire from 8 channels on both cards to see if this reproduces it. If this works, we can slowly add more elements to narrow down what the issue is and make us more effective to solve the problem.
    I also wanted to ask if you have tried this setup on another machine and if it worked.
    Along with this, have you tried to create two Digital Tasks in MAX and try to acquire for the same amount of time to see if the issue reoccurs here? This would tell us if this problem is connected to the driver/computer or LabVIEW.

  • Bad Pool Caller - Blue Screen of Death

    Windows Blue Screens of Death (BSoDs) happen whenever your computer encounters something it doesn’t know how to process, so it shuts itself down to prevent any damage. Sometimes BSoDs happen once and you don’t see them again when you restart — however, this isnt always the case and a BSoD may show up repeatedly.
    In this article we will look at issues causing a bad_pool_caller BSoD. What has happened is that a thread in the laptop's processor has made a bad pool request. This means that it’s asking to use resources that are unavailable, nonexistent, or in use by another thread. It could also mean that the pool header is corrupted — regardless of the particular error, it, like most BSoDs, is caused by driver issues.
    Drivers are what makes your computer work. Every device connected to your computer, and nearly every component inside it has a software driver that determines how Windows interacts with your device. When driver issues are encountered- which is fairly common on new operating systems like Windows 8 — it can cause a lot of problems, but, fortunately, sometimes there is an easy fix.
    Recently Connected and Installed Device
    Try to determine which device was last connected or installed before an error appeared. Often this can be a new peripheral device. Go to Device Manager (in the Control Panel) and find the driver for the recently connected peripheral device driver. From there, you can get Windows to search for updates, you can disable it, or you can uninstall it entirely. You can also disconnect the problem device and perform a system restore to before the device was connected and supporting software was installed.
    Recently Installed Program
    If your drivers aren’t the problem, a recently installed program may be the issue. If you can determine what program you installed that started this, uninstall it or perform a system restore to before the program was installed, and, after a restart, you should be good to go.
    System Restore
    Windows 7 and earlier
    Windows 8
    Any further issues that cannot be resolved may require your computer to be repaired.

    Every time we try to connect his Nano it causes the PC to crash with this Bad Pool Caller message.
    is the BADPOOLCALLER citing a specific file, Laurita? if so, what is it called? (exact spelling please.)
    if it's not citing a specific file, let's try getting a minidump to the Apple engineers for a look.
    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.
    Find that file and send it as an attachment to this email address.
    in the email to Roy, be sure to include the following information:
    - A link to the thread on Apple Discussions where the issue is being discussed
    - The username you are using in the thread
    - The version of iTunes you are using or trying to use
    - the version of Windows you are using (mention service packs)
    - A concise description of the issue you are seeing
    - The exact text of the error message you are seeing

  • Bootcamp Blue Screen of Death.. Apple USB Driver ?

    This started to occur to me after I upgraded to the Leopard
    drivers for Bootcamp.
    I have seen this occur two times while booted in Windows XP.
    Both after I left the machine idle for a long period of time..
    about 3-4 hrs.
    1) Conditions - machine is idle.. the screen energy saver is on
    and the monitor is in low power/sleep mode.
    2) Conditions - both times occured when i had no internet access
    connected. It occured when I took my imac to a location where
    i dont have the wifi access as usual at my home.
    3) Conditions - i did have the trial of Parallels 3.0 installed
    but i dont use it nor did i purchase the full version.. i need
    to uninstall those components from XP still.
    4) I think in both instances Autodesk Inventor 11 was running.
    The 2nd time it was, i dont remember the first time this crash happened.
    I have installed all the latest service packs of this software on
    the system.
    5) Windows XP SP2, FAT32 partition, 32 GB on my iMac harddisk.
    6) Error - Windows Blue Screen of Death... i caught it only momentarily
    as the machine goes into automatic reboot. I did catch USB DRIVER
    in the most recent crash.
    7) Error - Upon reboot, the machine asks to send the error report
    to Micosoft. I cant because I dont have an internet access. It did
    say that Windows rebooted due to a serious error and asked to send
    the info back to MS.
    8) Error - i was able to screen shot a bit of the error report
    but i cant attach a jpeg of the window to this post unfortunately.
    Any insight would be appreciated on this.
    Edgar

    okay.. i have recreated this hard crash for a third time:
    it is definitely the USB Drivers used... blue screen of death states:
    BUGCODE_USB DRIVER
    other notes:
    i had no other applications running when the system crashed this third time.
    Power Settings (from Win control panel):
    Turn off monitor: after 3 min
    Turn off HDs: after 1 hr

  • Installing AIR application gives blue screen of death

    I tried installing an Adobe AIR application called HelloWorld.air from a book entitled "Adobe Flex 3 Training from the Source", and I would get the Windows' blue screen of death. I've seen others post about this, so I know I am not alone. My operating system is Windows XP Professional SP 2 and above.
    This issue is preventing me from even getting into Adobe AIR application development, and I was wondering when a fix for this will be made. I tried downloading the Adobe AIR runtime again, but it is still the same byte size as the previous one I downloaded, so I'm assuming it's still the same one (since it doesn't state any version number).
    Is there anyone who has had this problem and was eventually able to work with Adobe AIR? Any response would be immensely appreciated.
    Thanks.

    I remember when I was getting BSODs the first time I tried installing an
    .AIR application on my laptop, I got that "Send Error Report" window from
    Microsoft, and I had clicked to send it. It came back with a report stating
    that this was being caused by anti-virus software. This time around, I
    turned off my anti-virus software (from CA, or Computer Associates) I
    downloaded your application and tried to install it, and once again, I only
    got as far as where I could select to save an icon to my desktop and/or to
    launch the application after install, and when I clicked the "Install"
    button, I got the BSOD right away.
    I went the extra mile this time though. I installed Adobe AIR and your
    application on another desktop that is totally clean with absolutely no
    antivirus software whatsoever, not even a software firewall. I got the same
    BSOD at the exact same spot.
    I know Adobe knows about this because of a past thread I had not only read,
    but responded to as well. It's just unfortunate it hasn't been fixed yet
    because I'm really raring to start writing Adobe AIR apps.
    By the way, Damon, your app looks nice, I just wish I had been able to
    install it to see what it's all about. Lastly, thank you for responding to
    my issue. I will report this as a bug on that link you gave me.

  • 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

  • USB 2861 device capture blue screen of death

  • Windows Vista Crashing When Ipod is Plugged In. Blue Screen of Death?

    A week ago, my computer suddenly started to reboot whenever I plugged my 5th generation 80 gig Ipod in to sync. A blue screen will pop up, and automatically restart.
    I do not believe this is the blue screen of death that appeared 2 months ago. I have upgraded to Itunes 8.0.1 when it was first released, and I had no problems until a week ago. I haven't heard of anyone receiving the blue screen of death since the update to Itunes 8 was released.
    I have also lost all of my music from my Ipod, so I am anxious to figure this out.
    Here is what the blue screen (certain passages paraphrased, the specifics were copied directly):
    A problem has been detected and windows has shut down to prevent damage to your computer.
    BADPOOLHEADER
    If this is the firs time you've seen this stop error screen, restart yoru computer. If this screen appears again, follow these steps:
    Make sure all hardware and software is properly installed
    If it continues, disable/remove any newly installed hardware and software. Disable BIOS memory options such as caching or shawoding. If you need to use safe mode to remove or disable components, restart your computer, press F8 for Advanced Sartup options, then select safe mode.

    Any help you have would be greatly appreciated!

    Have you tried the troubleshooting advice in this article?

    Was a file name mentioned in the stop message? usually something.sys That can be a clue to the problem is the Apple advice doesn't help.

  • Blue Screen of death - now can't load Windows (even in safe mode)

    Last night laptop (Satellite L500 19Z; Win 7 64 bit) crashed whilst playing CIV4. Got a blue screen of death; before I had chance to read any of the error messages on it the machine rebooted.
    It loaded windows in safe mode fine then, and informed me as it had loaded safe mode OK the problem will be related to some recently installed software and I should uninstall programs I'd installed until it would load normally. As it was late last night I shut down and thought I'd sort it in the morning (in retrospect this may have been a mistake ....).
    Today, when the machine tries to boot up it attempts a Startup Repair; unfortunately this fails every time and it says "Startup repair has tried several times but still cannot detemine the cause of the problem"
    I looked at the log it produces but it passes all the individual tests.
    I also can't access the advanced options for system recovery & support, which appears on the Startup Repair dialog box as it demands I be logged in, which apparently I'm not (presumably as the machine never got to the windows login screen before trying the startup repair). The error message reads "you must be logged in to access system recovery options. If you are having trouble logging in please contact your computer administrator for assistance. please click OK to restart the computer."
    I've had a go at booting into the various advanced options (safe mode, safe mode with command prompt etc. but the outcome is the same).
    I also tried the Repair your Computer option from the advanced boot options screen, but after the screen where it asks you to choose the language and keyboard, I get the same login error mentioned above.
    Is there a way to repair or even run the hard disk based windows recovery (haven't got the recovery DVD with me as I'm away from home for a couple weeks) without logging into windows? I would have expected there to be but have yet to figure out how to do it.
    (there are no disks in the disk drive, no other devices attached to the laptop - I've tried it with mains power and with the battery and have not noticed any differences)
    Thanks

    Normaly the reinstall data is on a separate part on your HD, not in Windows.
    The register is only used for Windows.
    If it doesn't work you can always try to reinstall from a DVD later.
    It does mean all your data on C:\ will be gone. If you can hook your HD on an other PC you can try to safe your work with a recover prog.

Maybe you are looking for
