3.0 causes BSOD in Windows 7 on Mac Pro

I just did my third reinstallation of windows 7 on my mac pro and I think I've narrowed the bsod problem to the 3.0 bootcamp drivers. Every time I go to install steam, which is really the only reason I use windows, It gives me the bsod. The bsod references something about HFS drives. Or maybe it's my graphics card. I did put in the GTX 285 from EVGA. Does anyone else have this issue? Anyone find a fix? Will 2.1 work?

been running windows 7 for 2 weeks
when using the graphics drivers that come with bootcamp3.0
i initially encountered video playback freezing the system
but after i download windows 7 drivers from nvidia, it seems ok now
perhaps you could try that first?

As soon as video touches my Source or Program windows the Mac Pro (3,1) shuts down

Linc,
You keep showing up when I search for this problem so I hope you can help.
I'm having the same issue in Premiere and Media Encoder (but not After Effects). My Mac just restarts itself as soon as video is loaded. I can start Premiere and open a project and go through relinking media, but as soon as video touches my Source or Program windows the Mac Pro (3,1) shuts down.
I've fixed the problem temporarily two times. The first time I was troubleshooting what was wrong and wound up putting in my old video card and after that fixed the problem, I switched back to my GTX 680. I also did a driver update. After doing that I was ok for a few days so I figured it was a driver thing or maybe the card just needed to be reseated. Then when it started acting up again I figured something was going on.
So I started searching again and came across one of your posts that recommended removing CUDA. I did that and it worked perfectly for a week until about 20 minutes ago. Crashed in the middle of an edit and now each time I restart Premiere it crashes as soon as video touches my monitors.
I found this post because I specifically searched for "com.nvidia.web.NVDAResmanWeb(8.2.7)" from my Problem Report.
Any thoughts?
Thanks,
Darren

Thanks for the reply. Sorry for the shortened log. Here's the full thing. By the way, where do you learn to read these things? Are there keywords like "error" that you just learn to look for or is it something for in depth?
Thanks,

Windows and Mac Pro w/ Apple RAID card

It happened i have a need to run Windows natively on Mac Pro with Apple RAID card installed.
I know there is no Windows driver for that card, but i had a hope to bypass RAID card via connecting of internal SATA drive directly to iPass(SSF-8087) connector of Mac Pro's motherboard and using of that drive for Windows.
So, i've connected SATA drive this way and it works fine with OS X.
But i can't even try it with Windows because Mac Pro doesn't boot up from Windows installation CD if Apple RAID card installed
Empty black text console is all that i've got after selecting of Windows installation CD in EFI boot menu.
I need a suggestion how to bypass my problem, or generally speaking, how to install Windows onto Mac Pro with Apple RAID card.

I've tried that.
Installation and booting of WinXP passed OK if RAID card removed.
But i've got black screen again trying to boot WinXP after RAID card re-installed.

Windows on Intel Macs
There are presently several alternatives for running Windows on Intel Macs.
   1. Install the Apple Boot Camp software. Purchase Windows
         XP w/Service Pak2, Vista, or Windows 7. For Boot Camp
         4.0 and above you can only use Windows 7 or later. Follow
         instructions in the Boot Camp documentation on
         installation of Boot Camp, creating Driver CD, and
         installing Windows. Boot Camp enables you to boot the
         computer into OS X or Windows.
     2. Parallels Desktop for Mac and Windows XP, Vista Business,
         Vista Ultimate, or Windows 7. Parallels is software
         virtualization that enables running Windows concurrently
         with OS X.
     3. VM Fusion and Windows XP, Vista Business, Vista Ultimate,
         or Windows 7. VM Fusion is software virtualization that
         enables running Windows concurrently with OS X.
     4. CrossOver which enables running many Windows
         applications without having to install Windows. The
         Windows applications can run concurrently with OS X.
     5. VirtualBox is an Open Source freeware virtual machine such
         as VM Fusion and Parallels that was developed by Solaris.
         It is not as fully developed for the Mac as Parallels and VM
         Fusion.
Note that VirtualBox, Parallels, and VM Fusion can also run other operating systems such as Linux, Unix, OS/2, Solaris, etc. There are performance differences between dual-boot systems and virtualization. The latter tend to be a little slower (not much) and do not provide the video performance of the dual-boot system. See MacTech Labs- Virtualization Benchmarks, January 2013 | MacTech for comparisons of Boot Camp, Parallels, and VM Fusion. Benchmarks of all of the above except Crossover can be found in Benchmarking Parallels, Fusion, and VirtualBox Against Boot Camp - The Mac Observer. Boot Camp is only available with Leopard or later. Except for Crossover and a couple of similar alternatives like DarWine you must have a valid installer disc for Windows.
You must also have an internal optical drive for installing Windows. Windows cannot be installed from an external optical drive.

Reader 9 causes BSOD on Windows XP Pro

We have a few systems here that are having real problems with Adobe Reader 9. When the users attempt to open a .pdf file, they get a BSOD, and the system reboots. Once the system comes back up, they are able to open the offending file with no problems.
Here are details of our systems:
Dell Optiplex 755
Windows XP Pro SP3
2GB Ram
32 Bit OS
I have found this occurs most often when opening pdf's that were created with earlier versions.
I'm sure I have left out some vital piece of information, so if you need clarification on something, please ask. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

[While the original post was for Reader 9, I found this same problem with Acrobat 9 Pro, and found a solution.]
Problem: Opening one PDF file is fine, but once you open the second file -- BSOD.
Cause: There is still a problem with Adobe's 2D GPU Acceleration feature.
Per http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=kb405218&sliceId=1, "If acceleration hardware is detected, then optimization is enabled for all files except the first one opened when Acrobat launches." That is why the first file opens OK, but the second causes BSOD. Adobe is either not detecting acceleration hardware correctly, or is not calling it correctly.
Temporary Solution:
1. In Acrobat or Adobe Reader, choose to Edit > Preferences.
2. Go to the Page Display panel.
3. Uncheck Use 2D GPU acceleration.
I tested my machine [Dell Optiplex 755, ATI Radion HD 2400 XT 8.420.0.0, Win XP Pro, Adobe 9 Pro] with "2D GPU acceleration" checked, attempted open of 4 PDFs from File Explorer -->first one opened, then BSOD, rebooted, unchecked "2D GPU", attempted the exact same operation --> all four opened in their windows and now I am happily typing on this page.
This is per http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=324073, which is a post from two years ago and relates to Adobe 8. So, Dell has been fielding calls on this for at least two years. Way to stick in there, Dell. Two years ago, Adobe knew the problem ("You are using an desktop ATI video card with driver version 8.291 or 8.301 and have the Acrobat Page Display Preference 'Use 2D GPU acceleration' enabled." was what they said back then, and recommended updating the video drivers. So, Dell stays with it, Adobe says to update your drivers. Well, I bought an entirely new Dell to get the latest drivers and it didn't help.
Permanent solution:
Adobe needs to get 2D GPU acceleration to really work (how about a line of code where you check whether it is going to work before you execute it?) or ship their product with that feature off by default.

Trying to dual boot Windows 7, Mac Pro 3 (2008) doesn't recognize USB boot drive

My system has no optical drive either. I've managed to set up the boot drive in VMWare fusion, and I've confirmed that the boot drive is correctly formatted, because it shows up on my MBP. I've tried blessing this hard drive, I've tried boot camping my way in, but the Mac Pro 2008 model seems adamant about only going via disk. Any super user commands to get my usb thumb drive recognized at option-restart time?

UPDATE: Last night, I installed Windows 7 next to Yosemite on my MBP. Copied the Windows partion to my external, and then tried to copy that partition on the external to my MP. No success, probably because MBP and MP have different drivers?
You will need to use Winclone to move images from one Mac to a different Mac if there are any hardware differences. It is a commercial tool.
Please see https://twocanoes.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/202814148-Migrating-a-Boot-Camp- Partition-with-Winclone-4
It requires a Sysprep on the source first to remove any HW-specific parts and make it a proper image to move it to a different HW platform. Once you have this migrated, you will need to reactivate Windows and install the appropriate Windows drivers which will support your MP-specific HW.

Windows on Mac Pro will not shut down

Hi I recently had the MAC Pro the one with 4G RAM, I installed Windows XP on it as well, seems everything is running Ok except that every time when I shut down Windows, it just hang there and I have to press the power button to force it to shut down. Does anyone have any idea why this happen? Anything I need to check? Do I need to reinstall it? Thanks!

Hi, sorry I should have been more specific. The version of the Windows installed is fairly new. If the windows just boot up and then I shut it down, it will shut down right away. But if I run some program like MSN or browse internet for a while then when I try to shut it down, after I click Start->Turn Off computer then I click any of the 3 options (Stand By, Turn off,Restart) it just do not respond, but at the sametime the windows is not frozen, I can still run other program which seems really odd. So I have to manually press the power button to shut it down. I might need to reinstall Windows.

64 bit windows on Mac Pro

If I use Bootcamp to install a 64 bit version of windows xp pro on a Mac will that allow windows to make full use of the ram installed?
I understand that 32 bit versions of win xp only allow access to 4 gigs or so of ram?
I take it that the processors on a Mac Pro are 64 bit?
Thanks for any advice.

Outside of Windows 64-bit drivers, and the level of support now in the latest BootCamp, I had Vista 64-bit for a few months. Some software is not yet 64-bit so I am holding back for now (Symantec, drivers, even Microsoft OneCare).
You shouldn't have any trouble as far as accessing RAM with XP Pro 64-bit.

Hi, I would like to know if is it possible to install windows on mac pro , because I need to have some application like SQL server and visual studio, and they could not be install on mac

Windows on a Mac

Too Much RAM causing shut down? (2008 Mac Pro)

I've got an older 2008, Mac Pro with an OWC SDD as my main drive running the latest version of Snow Leopard.
In the last several months I've been experiencing problems where the system will shut down (screen says it has gone to sleep and I cannot wake it) but the tiny white power light on the front of the computer stays "on".
The only way I have been able to get it to turn back on, is to power down holding the power button in, until the white light goes off. When i power back on, some times it will boot to the desktop, and other times, it will just get to the grey Apple logo and instantly go into sleep/ hibernation, etc (I'm not sure what it's doing).
Things I've tried to resolve the problem:
- Permissions repair (no problem) - using Drive Genius
- Disk repair (no problem) - using Drive Genius
- Uninstalled (or not installed) any of my typical post-reformat software
- Replaced RAM
- Replaced RAM riser
- Reset PRAM, (and other similarly suggested fixes)
- Disconnected everything except keyboard, mouse and monitor
At one point I went through all of my ram, tested it all and all passed using software similar to those recommended elsewhere in other Apple discussions
I once removed some ram from the bottom riser (hunting and pecking here) and this allowed me to boot. (I have had as much as 16GB of Apple approved ram across each riser, inserted into each dim slot as recommended by Apple.
Could this be a drive problem? I am using an OWC3gb SSD
Could it be a power supply problem?
The system is clean, and dust free. The system runs cool (within the recommened guidelines)
Is there something I might try that I haven't mentioned here?
Thank you so much.

WRT54GL causing bsod only when an Mac ibook g4 connects wirelessly.

Hello all you tech gurus!
I consider myself a pretty adept pc user. I've built systems, installed wired and wireless networks, many kinds of peripherals, and so far, have not run into any problems I have not been able to figure out.
Here is the situation:
I set up a wireless network for a friend using a WRT54GL router with a firmware version of 4.30.11. There are only 2 wired pc's connected to this router using c5 ethernet cabling. The first and main pc (which is the pc getting the bsod) is a Compaq Presario CQ5320Y running Win7 Home Premium 64-bit. The second pc connected by ethernet is an ancient home built system running XP Home. Both pc's work well in all regards, both internet and non-internet items. There is an Apple pc (don't know the model of this one) that is connected wirelessly with no problems. These 3 pc's can all be using the internet at the same time with no problems what-so-ever.
The problem arises when a Mac ibook G4 connects wirelessly to the network. When the ibook connects to the network wirelessly, it causes a bsod (error code 0x00000007)on the Compaq Presario within 10 minutes of the ibook connecting to the network.(yes, I've researched that error code and ruled out hardware problems on the Compaq. The Compaq can run for weeks on end without any bsod, it only bsod's when the ibook G4 connects to the network wirelessly.) IF the ibook G4 is connected to the network via an ethernet cable, there are NO PROBLEMS with the Compaq. The Compaq ONLY gets the bsod when the ibook G4 connects to the network wirelessly.
Sad to say, I have almost no experience with Apple pc's and I am not sure if this is a router configuration problem or a configuration problem on the ibook G4. Remember, there is an Apple desktop connected to the network wirelessly with NO PROBLEMS.
If anyone can point me in the correct direction in trying to fix this problem, I would greatly appreciate it.
Many thanks!

Or you can assign a static IP address on the computer it self.
If it is a MAC computer then click on APPLE icon. Go to system preferences. Click on Network and select Ethernet. Go to Advanced settings and go to TCP/IP settings. Change the configuration to Manual and assign a static IP address to the computer.
If it is windows computer then open Network connections. Right click on Local area connection/ wireless network connection and go to properties. Click on Internet protocol TCP/IP properties. Assign a static IP address.

Wifi causing BSOD on Windows 7 64 bit

The Intel 5300 wifi card driver is causing Blue Screen of Death (BDOS) on my x200s Windows 64 bit ultimate.
A typical scneraio would be:
- Turn wifi on
- Connect to access point
- Within a few minutes, Internet activity will blue screen the laptop
Wifi card and motherboards were replaced.
After trying a bunch of stuff, I resigned to wipe the laptop and do a fresh operating system install. The result is still BSOD on wifi.
Wifi drivers are the latest from Lenovo (13.0.0.107)
Intel has a newer version (13.1.1.1) for the 5300 wifi card on the Intel web site. I am not sure it is compatible with Thinkpad.
Any advice would be appreciated, as the laptop is unusable with the wifi on.
Thank!

Need some urgent help // Streaming windows and Mac Pro

HI ,
I have a nice "issue" here.
At present I am in a project.
We save the video images and sound by capture in FCP PRO with Mac Intel. Ans next to that using a Windows PC to stream live to internet.
We send the video by using a converter from analog to digital using S-video in and out Firewire. (from the converter).
After the converter we send the the firewire signal to a belkin hub to distribute to Mac and PC.
Evenrything goes fine. But the MAc responds to the PC and the Mac to the PC . When the PC blocks (the image for streaming) the Mac stops capturing. When I (the Mac) cancel capturing the PC stops streaming
PLease assist if you can .. how to handle. we guess that the hub creates the issues ...
Should we use a more link switch ? like a network switch ?

Our video runs through a video switcher which then outputs the signal to a PC (live streaming) and into a DRS-11 DV deck for recording as well as converting to FW which goes into the Mac for a live capture (redundancy) as well.
<
Yar, you want deal with the VIDEO, not the data stream, which is what you get on FW.
Use a video/audio distribution amplifier to send duplicate versions of your program video and audio content to two or more different encoding/processing systems.
Your boss/clients are not going to understand the technical requirements if they're Web geeks. Try this: If you want two copies of the same book, you don't use a copier. You buy two copies from the printer. You can't use a copier to distribute copies of a book in real time; each page has to be scanned and copied, one at a time, and they have to be collated separately. Anything that interrupts the process, like pulling out the stacks to staple them into, say, chapters (or insert your own metaphor here), causes the copier to stop since it can no longer knows the collation is correct.

BSOD with Windows 8.1 Pro 64 bit

I'm having a strange problem here, I had been experincing daily BSODs, so i figured perhaps my windows install got corrupted, and did a full format/Reinstall. I seem to still be getting BSODs however, so i dug into the dump files, and discovered, its saying Skype is responsible. I am running Skype Desktop 7.2 and I do NOT have a HP Fixed Webcam or any webcam, as i've seen as the common culprit around these fourms.
