430s Strange WiFi issues / Blue Screens

I have had my 430s for several months with no issues. Running Win 7 Pro, 8GB RAM and 256MB SSD with Intel WiFi N6205 Advanced N adapter.
I have a Netgear Router and 3 other PC's in the house along with 3 cell phones. All other PC's and cell phones can connect to the Netgear router except the 430s. The 430S connects with limited access - ie, no Internet Access. About 50% of the time it is successful.
HOWEVER - the 430S can connect to my cell phone setup as a hotspot without any issues at all.
Also, periodically, if I try to VPN into work, I get the Blue Screen of Death. So i initially thought a potential memory issue.
No new anti-virus or firewall software. I run Bitdefender total security.
WiFi troubleshooting says there is an issue with network adapter.
Therefore, I have run Lenovo Memory test, but all works ok.
I have also deleted my home network from the list of networks, and set up from scratch. No difference.
I have tried to use Win 7 safe mode with networking, and still does not work....although cell phone hot spot is how I am typing this.
My next option is to try an external USB network adaptor....any other thoughts?
Thanks

Thanks for the suggestion. I'll make an appointment tomorrow.
Any idea on what they would do at the apple store? Does apple replace phones? Do I need to bring the receipt or just the phone?

IMac G4 OS 10.5.8 booting issues, blue screen

I'm trying to remotely help my mom to solve a big problem with her iMac G4 (2007 vintage.) It's running Mac OS 10.5.8. Everything was fine until a couple of weeks ago when it started refusing to boot. It starts to boot, you get the Apple and then it continues on to the blue screen, and never progresses from there.
It WILL safe boot, and I've tried all the things I can think of... disabled login items, reset PRAM, used Disk Utility to check the HDD and repair permissions. But it won't boot in normal (non-safe) mode.
So I decided the only solution would be to archive and install Leopard again. I figured the hardware was mostly likely okay, since it would safe boot. She couldn't find her Leopard install disks so I sent her mine.
But the system won't successfully start up from the install DVD. It does read from the DVD and starts the boot process, but again it hangs at the blue screen and does not continue beyond that.
I am not sure what to try next... I suppose it's possible that there some bad RAM or something which isn't accessed during the more limited safe boot but is used during a regular boot and causes the hang. It seems like the HDD is probably okay since it consistently safe boots without a problem. What else can I try?
Any suggestions are greatly appreciated!

The test as run from the original install-restore disc #1 should be accessible
when booted per instructions on the label. Usually, there's the method on how
to use the Installer (C key on boot) and also the other is there, on how to use
the same DVD to boot the Apple Hardware Test (perhaps Opt key.)
With an older computer, there is the chance the hard disk drive may be fading;
due to use and age factors. However, one could still (maybe) find information
on what else may be going on, IF the error and crash logs in the Console utility
could be accessed, then read through, by someone with technical knowledge.
The Console logs may be accessed if the computer can be started in SafeBoot.
And there are several, in there; some would not apply. Also, they're rather cryptic.
Sometimes, a section of a hard disk drive where the boot information is stored
could be damaged; or the Directory may be corrupted, so a third-party disk
utility on its own DVD or bootable volume can be helpful to correct that aspect.
Or to totally erase, zero, partition map and reformat the hard disk drive may do
to attempt to restore function of the computer to normal; while wiping user content.
A backup of content could be made; even a clone copy to an external, then that
could be transferred (via another clone, using Carbon Copy Cloner, etc) and if
the computer were wiped, that bootable clone could be moved back. Or, should
the internal drive be bad, the content of the computer can be put into a new HDD.
{The 'pizza box' iMac with the G5 PPC processor, had a few known issues in
certain models, some due to heat and other component failures; so the hard-
ware test may be helpful. So would an inspection of the power & logic circuits.}
Anyway, sounds like 10x the trouble at a distance, helping someone figure out how.
Good luck & happy computing!

R61 driver issues/ blue screen

Hello all:
I have a 2008 R61 (7733) Serial (L3-G5721). I got this computer through my college at the time, and over a 2 year span I had 4 or 5 HDD replaced through the Lenovo service program on campus. Now I recently replaced my HDD 2 times so far since leaving my school in 2010, none were for bad HDD's like previously. I had Issues with Lenovo/Windows drivers. Now on my 3rd an WD black. What I would like to know is my HDD or Motherboard is having driver issues?!? How can I fix this?!? Is their a program that can diagnose what driver is causing my blue screens and also keeping me from booting up the laptop past the extended boot screen?!? Love that laptop so much runs like a tank besides the HDD problem it's very solid any help is appriciated.
Sincerely:
Christopher Patti

Hi,
Do not rely solely on System Update to maintain your computer. It frequently is weeks, months and even years out of date. Some updates never get to System Update at all. In addition, the driver matrix does not contain all patches and updates. Because you don’t have a preload, it is possible that you are missing some critical updates, which may not be in the Driver Matrix, and I am not sure if they are available using System Update. I suggest that you verify if the following updates are installed on your computer.

I even tried submitting site feedback, rather than opening a dialog using the Lenovo Forums to get some of these problems fixed. The astonishing response I got back from the Lenovo Web Content Team was:
Dear Valued Customer,

Satellite A60: ATI graphics driver issue - blue screen error

Hello,
I have a Sattelite A60, and I have had it for a year, and now suddenly, I have frequent crashes. The Blue Screen of Death tells me that it is caused by a driver not working properly, namely an ATI driver.

I deinstalled the display drivers and for a short while it seemed to work. However, the blue screen of death did not reappear, but now my laptop suddenly switches itself off: immediate powerdown. Also, I have had the driver failing to work properly: this resulted in the screen resolution suddenly resetting itself to safe mode. De blue screen I got before mentioned that the fault lay in ati2dvag.dll - the windows error analysis screen that appeared after my reboot told me that the problem with this dll again caused the problem. This was before and after the reinstall of the Toshiba drivers.
Going to try and reinstall them again now. See if it works this time.

Strange pop up - blue screen of death?

Twice this week, while logged into Me.com, my screen gets a shadow over it like it's powering down and I get a pop-up that says I need to restart my computer. I can get no response from my mouse, etc. and have done hard boots to restart. I am concerned this is a virus or something else wrong, similar to the blue screen of death on a PC???
Has anyone else seen this? Any idea what is causing it? The pop up has the warning in 3 other languages below the one in English. Not recognizable and no error codes or anything to even identify.
Help????

Startup issue - blue screen freeze before login - Safe Boot works fine?

I've not seen this before and I can't fix, wonder if anyone has any new suggestions, here is what I've tried so far... (safe boot works fine)
1. Verbose and Single user login
2. removing the startup folder from disk library
3. Zapping PRAM
4. Reset SMC
5. Zeroed disk and reinstalled system
6. Target disk and disk repair (No Problems Found)
7. Permissions repair (No Problems Found
8. Apple Hardware Test (No Problems Found)
9. System DVD Startup - Disk Utility (No Problems Found)
10. Network Startup - Disk Utility (No Problems Found)
In every case unless I hold the shift key down for safe boot, the mac will freeze on a blue screen when the grey screen disappears, and never proceed to login. Thought about replacing the disk but it's a lot of bother on these machines and there doesn't appear to be anything wrong with it??
Any ideas?
Can anyone think of a possible fix not listed above?

Hello chip
The only thing I see missing from your list is, have you disconnected all External HD's, iPods and other storage devices befor Starting up? Sometimes when the iMac has multiple storage devices connected the Startup Manager will get lost.
Also try going to: Startup Manager in System Preferences, select the Macintosh HD and restart the iMac..

IPhone 6 Plus Strange Wifi Issue

Picked up on iPhone 6 Plus on friday, love the phone so far. I am having one issue with the wifi download speeds that I've managed to isolate to this device.
I have a 100Mbps connection that I usually get between 70-80Mbps down with a ~6ms ping (checked on my macbook pro, iPad, iPhone 5S and 5C).
Now, when running the Ookla speedtest (or any other speedtest app & in browser) on my new 6+, I get abnormally high ping of around 136ms. Then when the download test begins it shoots up to 20Mbps for a split second, then right back down to around 4Mbps. Where it slowly increases to around 9Mbps.. this is where it gets weird - the download stalls, for about 3-4 seconds and gradually grinds to a halt. Looking at the speed test graph, the lines shoot up high for a sec, then it just 'flatlines' for a few seconds.
This is with every speed test I've checked - it's like the wifi radio loses power for a few seconds and cycles itself off and on. I have reset the network settings already, to no avail.
I've done some looking into this since yesterday and made sure everything is OK on my router side. Low interference, good SNR and few devices connected at once. It seems to be the iPhone, or the iOS 8 software that's doing it.. however my partners 5C on iOS8 does not have this issue.
Is it faulty?

I have this exact same issue with the iPhone 6 Plus. After numerous calls to AppleCare several resets and restore restores from backup, restore as new, and visits to the Genius Bar at the Apple store, Apple dose not appear to have an answer yet. This is happening on all Wi-Fi networks home, Xfinity, Apple Store, and Starbucks. It does not appear to be related to the Wi-Fi network in use. I have been asked to give it a week and see if it gets better but somehow I do not think this is going to work. The Apple Store has even replace my phone and I still experience the same issues.
What am I missing?

Leopard general issues (slow boot-Blue screen of tolerance)?

I upgraded it to leopard 10.5.2 a week ago. I thought my old system with tiger (10.4.11) used to boot faster and work faster and I thought I was being cynical. I just checked with my buddy's computer which is completely identical to mine (2GHz intel Core 2 Duo, 2gb ram, 120gb hard disk macbook). She still has tiger 10.4.10. It boots drastically faster. As soon as dark grey apple disappears tiger shows a progress bar showing the log on process and it logs on in less than 5 secs. Overall boot up was around 20secs. First of all I don't know why leopard doesn't have that progress bar. Secondly leopard hangs on a blue screen during startup for another 20 seconds which makes the overall time 40-50 secs.
I deleted all cache everything and unused files while installing. I never got a blue screen of death either. It is almost a clean install. People might suggest erase/install or archive/install but I checked other forums people suffering with this issue has not been successful to eradicate it this way.
I checked my logs. they are pretty clean except some launchctl convert stuff.
I am pretty convinced it is leopard issue.
I have two questions:
1) Is Apple aware of this issue (blue screen on startup for 20 sec) and would be address it in next update? or is it not fixable?
2) Can I somehow have that auto-logon progress bar back?
3) Sidebar fonts are very small. Tiger sidebar was much easier to use. Is their a way to increase font size.
In general I am quite disappointed with Leopard. It is much slower especially with respect to finder windows. I wish I could downgrade to Tiger but it is to much hassle..taking backup..reinstalling all applications. I kinda like quicklook too. I'll miss it if I downgrade.
I would like to know whether apple addresses such issues in upgrades? I am patient.

I have two questions:
Actually I count three questions.
1) Is Apple aware of this issue (blue screen on startup for 20 sec) and would be address it in next update? or is it not fixable?
Not a problem with OS X. More likely a problem with your installation or setup. I have 5 Macs running Leopard and have no similar problem nor ever have. Although boot times differ with hardware, startupitems, login items, etc. they are not much different. My Mac Pro takes half the time as my laptops typically.
2) Can I somehow have that auto-logon progress bar back?
No. It's no longer included in OS X.
3) Sidebar fonts are very small. Tiger sidebar was much easier to use. Is their a way to increase font size.
Not aware of any control over this in Leopard, but if there is someone else may let you know.
If you want to improve performance on your computer then try some maintenance:
Kappy's Personal Suggestions for OS X Maintenance
For disk repairs use Disk Utility. For situations DU cannot handle the best third-party utilities are: Disk Warrior; DW only fixes problems with the disk directory, but most disk problems are caused by directory corruption; Disk Warrior 4.0 is now Intel Mac compatible. TechTool Pro provides additional repair options including file repair and recovery, system diagnostics, and disk defragmentation. TechTool Pro 4.6.1 is Leopard compatible; Drive Genius is similar to TechTool Pro in terms of the various repair services provided. The current version, 1.5.1, is Intel Mac compatible.
OS X performs certain maintenance functions that are scheduled to occur on a daily, weekly, or monthly period. The maintenance scripts run in the early AM only if the computer is turned on 24/7 (no sleep.) If this isn't the case, then an excellent solution is to download and install a shareware utility such as Macaroni, JAW PseudoAnacron, or Anacron that will automate the maintenance activity regardless of whether the computer is turned off or asleep.
OS X automatically defrags files less than 20 MBs in size, so unless you have a disk full of very large files there's little need for defragmenting the hard drive. As for virus protection there are few if any such animals affecting OS X. You can protect the computer easily using the freeware Open Source virus protection software ClamXAV. Personally I would avoid most commercial anti-virus software because of their potential for causing problems.
I would also recommend downloading the shareware utility TinkerTool System that you can use for periodic maintenance such as removing old logfiles and archives, clearing caches, etc.
For emergency repairs install the freeware utility Applejack. If you cannot start up in OS X, you may be able to start in single-user mode from which you can run Applejack to do a whole set of repair and maintenance routines from the commandline. Note that presently AppleJack is not compatible with Leopard.
When you install any new system software or updates be sure to repair the hard drive and permissions beforehand. I also recommend booting into safe mode before doing system software updates.
Get an external Firewire drive at least equal in size to the internal hard drive and make (and maintain) a bootable clone/backup. You can make a bootable clone using the Restore option of Disk Utility. You can also make and maintain clones with good backup software. My personal recommendations are (order is not significant):
1. Retrospect Desktop (Commercial - not yet universal binary)
2. Synchronize! Pro X (Commercial)
3. Synk (Backup, Standard, or Pro)
4. Deja Vu (Shareware)
5. PsynchX 2.1.1 and RsyncX 2.1 (Freeware)
6. Carbon Copy Cloner (Freeware - 3.0 is a Universal Binary)
7. SuperDuper! (Commercial)
8. Data Backup (Commercial)
The following utilities can also be used for backup, but cannot create bootable clones:
1. Backup (requires a .Mac account with Apple both to get the software and to use it.)
2. Toast
3. Impression
4. arRSync
Apple's Backup is a full backup tool capable of also backing up across multiple media such as CD/DVD. However, it cannot create bootable backups. It is primarily an "archiving" utility as are the other two.
Impression and Toast are disk image based backups, only. Particularly useful if you need to backup to CD/DVD across multiple media.
Visit The XLab FAQs and read the FAQs on maintenance, optimization, virus protection, and backup and restore.

Yoga 2 Pro issues: display flashing, no recovery from power saving, blue screens

I believe I've narrowed down a problem with the machine not coming out of sleep mode, and maybe blue screening. There is a new version of virtualbox that I've installed and it is suppose to help.
Issues still present
1) I have found the screen to become corrupted where it flashes on and off. I end up doing a hard reboot to fix the issue temporarily.
2) Sometimes (when virtualbox isn't running), the display goes into powersaving mode and doesn't recover. I had this issue with Linux installed (kubuntu 13.10) as well as with windows 8.1.
3) Rare screen corruption where the display jumps for a split second and then goes back to normal. This is very rare. It may happen 3-4 times a day but I use this system for development so this is scary and unacceptable.
Any input would be appreciated!
How I reinstalled Windows 8.1:
Installed windows 8 from UEFI media (with an old/supported wifi USB), updated, installed 8.1 upgrade, then installed drivers
Drivers installed:
bt, dptf, tp, emw
The default Windows 8.1 drivers included the full intel driver set. I've considered upgrading, but these issues were present before I reinstalled Windows 8.1 w/ UEFI media and I had the full driver set from the lenovo website installed at the time.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

I spoke with support for quite a while today.
It is not sleep mode that is causing the machine to become unresponsive. If you disable "turn the display off after", then it will go to sleep like normal. If you have "turn the display off" enabled, it crashes and neither goes to sleep, nor allows the display to turn back on.
If I close the lid it goes to sleep, and opening the lid wakes the machine up again.
I installed the chipset driver from the support website, rebooted, and reenabled screen blanking in power settings.
I have been unable to get the machine not to wake after screen blanking and sleeping. I set it to 1m blank and 2m sleep and it goes blank and recovers if I hit a key. If you let it go 2m, it sleeps and recovers as intended. I'm very releaved as I did NOT want to return this.
The power management issue seems to be resolved by reinstalling the chipset driver from the website.
I'm going to see if I still have the display flashing issues anymore. Perhaps it is solved as well!!
Thanks Lenovo!
EDIT: I spoke too soon!! It just did it again.

Please help!! x100e blue screen issue

Hey everyone,
I'm new on here, trying to help out my sister who's in school and so far failing miserably!
She has a x100e and developed the blue screen issue.
I did a bunch of reading on it- but have never seen an error message.
I formatted the hard drive for her (it needed it anyways) hoping that would help. It didn't. It also lost the wi-fi, I had to download a new driver from lenovo to get the wi-fi working again. It is now working, but still has the blue screen.
Any help? I wanna give it back to her but proving to be useless.
Thanks for any and all help!

How will anyone help you w/o error message on the top of blue screen and problem signature description?

Blue-screening and strange cursor

Hello, everyone.
I'm having some strange problems with my Mac. I can't power it up outside of Safe Boot--I reset the PRAM and that worked for about half an hour, but then my computer locked up, and resetting PRAM won't restart it in normal mode. I've tried fsck, but nothing wrong came up, and when I rebooted, I still had the blue screen.
Also, I have a weird bar code-like thing following my cursor. I've never seen this before and can't figure out how to get it to go away.
Here's where it gets complicated: I'm out of the country (in Seoul), so all of my start-up disks are in America, and I'm not really sure where to go from here.
Any help would be really, really, really appreciated. I'm a total wreck without my computer.
Thanks in advance.

Hi m, and welcome to Apple Discussions.
It sounds like you may have a GPU issue. Depending on which model of MBP you have, it could be the NVIDIA issue. If you have the 8600 GPU, go in to an Apple Store or AASP to have it tested. If it qualifies, the repair would be free.

If you have a Blue Screen / Error due to Wireless issues (B110a), fix in here.

For the original thread created by somebody else, please see here:
http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Printer-All-in-One-Install-and/B110a-network-connection-problem/m-p/319...
Here's a youtube video of what happened to me: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=adE1kq36ld4
I'm reposting it here so it can hopefully help some of you guys if anybody else stumbles across this. In short, my printer was fresh out of the box and I attempted to connect it to the wireless network. It would throw a blue screen on the LCD with an error of B8126AD6.
I narrowed it down to an issue with DHCP. For some reason the printer connects to the wireless access point but as soon as it tries to get an IP address from the DHCP server it crashes with that blue screen and the error code in the first post above. This look like a massive bug in the printers firmware! For reference my router is a Billion 7401VGPR3 which is acting as my default gateway and DHCP server. I have a Linksys WRT54G as my Access Point for the house.
To solve it, I turned DHCP off on my router and then tried connecting the printer to the wireless network. This time it connects fine but you still can't talk to it because it doesn't have a proper IP address. If it still doesn't connect properly, try turning WPA/WPA2/WEP off on your Access Point. Leave it completely open for a moment until you can reach the web interface (as below).
To fix the IP issue, I then went into the Settings menu on the printer and printed the "HP Network Configuration Page". Note that under the Wireless menu option there are a couple of different "Print Network Test Page" options. I believe it's the 2nd one that I selected. You'll know you have the right one when it prints out the page with the following info:
IPv4 IP Address
Subnet Mask
Hostname
Default Gateway
Primary DNS
etc, etc.
Take note of the IP Address from the printout above and the Subnet Mask. My IP was 169.254.73.5 and subnet mask 255.255.0.0. Now I manually configured my computers IP address to be similar (within the same subnet): 169.254.73.10 with the same subnet mask.
Now you can load up the web interface of the printer using http://169.254.73.5 in my case. (You should also be able to ping the printer at this point too). In here you have a Network tab where you can now manually set the IP Address of the printer. Set the address you want it to be in your network (in my case 192.168.0.3 with a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0 and default gateway 192.168.0.1 and dns server 192.168.0.1).
Once I clicked OK I changed my PC's IP back to normal, and I can now reach the printer on its IP address set above. YAY!
The great thing is, in the web interface you get a million more options to play with. You can manually set the IP address, gateway, DNS, wireless settings such as WPA1/WPA2 AES/TKIP Encryption, WPA Passkey, etc. So if you had to set the Access Point to completely Open, setup the encryption again and put the passkey in here. When I did this I had to go back into the Settings menu on the printer LCD and select "Disable Wireless" then "Enable Wireless" to force it to re-join the network.
Finally I went into the Settings menu again and Updated the software on the printer. I don't know if the new software fixes the bug or not - I haven't tested it (can't be bothered!).
Hopefully this will help some of you guys out there too!
EDIT: I've just stumbled across another couple of posts with similar results to mine:
- http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Printer-networking-and-wireless/How-to-install-Photosmart-B109n-z-on-a-...
- http://forums.techguy.org/networking/627989-hp-6980-printer-wireless-problem.html

Many thanks to gardz for an exhaustive overview on this critical problem with the B110a printer!
I am happy to report that I have managed to set the printer to a static IP and am now able to connect to it wirelessly from my home computers, and also able to use the web apps and ePrint features on the printer. The printer shows the IP address and I am able to use the EWS (Embedded Web Server) to connect to its IP address from my PC's internet browser. The Wireless Network Test Report also showed no problems. I have also completed the Product Update on the printer, and there are no more pending updates now.
However, the core wireless problem is still not satisfactorily resolved.
I get the BSOD and blinking-lights error ("Please turn off printer and then on"), only if I start the printer when Wireless is enabled on the printer. If wireless is disabled prior to printer boot, there is no error.
The workaround I have adopted for now, is to always switch off the printer's wireless, before switching off the printer, and enabling the wireless setting only when I need to print/scan.
Is this happening with anyone else? Why would the printer crash if it boots with wireless enabled? If it is already set to a static IP, why would it still conflict with the DHCP on the router?
My router is perfectly working, it is in the same room as the printer, so the signal strength is good. The printer itself is quite stable except for this crash-after-boot-if-wireless-was-enabled issue on the printer.
I made the mistake of connecting the USB cable to my primary computer before installing the printer drivers, so even the USB option is not working (Windows recognizes the printer as an unknown USB device). If anyone can point me to the printer drivers (inf files), I would be grateful. The CD does not have the driver files in a convenient location. It seems to be embedded within the setup package somewhere.
Gardz and PrintDoc, I hope you can help us out on this one. I know many B110a users are struggling with the wireless issues, so HP needs to release a firmware fix and driver update soon. Wireless ought to work out-of-the-box, as this product is aimed at the SOHO users.

Equium A60: Blue Screen issue

I've got a Equium A60 Series (PSA667E), reconditioned. There's a blue screen apearing sometimes, when I start up, sending me a message of error. I've tried to upgrade my BIOS, as the website indicated. But a message tell me that I dont need, because its already upgraded. So, I've got the correct BIOS but my blue screen problem persist. What can I do....

Hi
Sometimes the blue screen appears because of serious software error or a hardware malfunction (memory). Well, its not easy to say why this message occurs in you case because we dont have detailed informations. Usually the OS installation solves commonly the blue screen errors. But if there is a hardware fault so only a ASP could solve this issue.

WiFi Wireless Setup Wizard produces Blue Screen of Death on Officejet Pro 8600 Plus

The wireless setup wizard on my Officejet Pro 8600 Plus is failing immediately after "scanning for networks". I get a blue screen of death with error message B8494B00, followed by "turn printer on and off" with flashing screen.
I bought the printer about one month ago and it has worked perfectly so far. My Apple Time Capsule failed yesterday, so I bought a new one (latest model) and had to set up the wireless network again. When I tried to do so on the printer, I got the error for the first time. Nothing else had changed. Other devices are working with no problems on the new network. The computer is an Apple iMac running OS Mountain Lion.
I have tried turning the printer on and off, disconnecting the power and reconnecting, then turning it on again, but no result. I have restored the wireless to factory settings, but no difference.
Please help.

Right off I have to tell you I do not "speak Mac".
I assume the "Apple Time Capsule" is a name for a network router? A syncing device?
Unless I am mistaken:
You do not need the Wizard to set up the network -- it is pretty software for an HP PC; when it works, it can make things easier. The setup Wizard is not necessary for the process. I should think this is true for the Mac.
=====================================================================================
If you cannot get someone from the Printing group to answer your specific concern,
you may have succes with the following:
The User Guide has pretty good detail on how to set up the networking necessary to get the printer connected to either a PC or Mac environment. Assuming you can get the printer to "Reset network settings" (User Guide, page 222), then you can re-enter the information you require manually. It is a bit tedious, but is may work better than fighting the Wizard.
OfficeJet Pro 8600 User Guide
You may be able to circumvent sone or all of this by reinstalling the Full Feature Software for your printer -- that assumes you are first able to "reset network settings", at least, and get a printout test page to verify that the reset actually worked.

Slow restart - blue screen BSOD and Boot Camp restart issue

After Snow Leopard install on Macbook Pro I have experienced a very slow startup and restart. The grey apple screen appears for about 25 secs and then the blue screen hangs for 2mins and 2 secs. Also when restarting from Boot Camp blue screen just stays and restart fails. I waited approx 25 mins and blue screen was still there. I have searched Console system log for clues but am not technically adept. hopefully someone can help. I have copied log below form recent restart (in OSX mode, not boot camp). My Windows Boot camp volume is called ERICGLPC and I can see some issue on the log but unsure what it means.

Your Mac may have if you didn't erase the log files
