After 10.5 upgrade, getting blue screen booting into XP

It's looking like I need to update the drivers. I can get into Windows fine using Parallels to access the Boot Camp partition, but when I try booting directly I get BSOD.
Last Known Good Configuration does not work either, same blue screen. Booting into Safemode I get no keyboard/trackpad/etc and when I was able to pull up the Leopard DVD and run the boot camp setup.exe, it said the Windows Installer service was not loaded.
I went into services.msc to try to start that service but it wouldn't let me.
So it seems I'm stuck - I need to update the drivers but can't get into XP to do so. Can I do this from the Parallels VM? It won't let me run the install, presumably because it uses its own configuration of drivers and we wouldn't want to overwrite those.
Thanks!

With that, I was able to update the driver. It didn't help, so what I ended up doing was using a registry entry to allow me to start the Windows Installer service in Safe Mode. I ran the Boot Camp setup but it failed to start the Keyboard and other services. It still said completed, so I rebooted and upon login to Windows, I got a blank dialog box. No text, no header, no text on the button. All blank. Hit okay and it logs me off. So now I'm in a completely separate loop.
Any ideas? Thanks!

Using OSX 10.7.4. After waking, I frequently get blue screen and have to restart to resolve. Help???

I frequently get a blue screen of death after waking from sleep. I have to restart the computer to resolve the issue. This problem only began about a week ago, long after I updated to 10.7.4 on my iMac.

Mac OS X 10.6 Help- If you see a blue screen at startup
You may need to reinstall Lion:
Reinstalling Lion Without Erasing the Drive
Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the main menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu.
Reinstall Lion: Select Reinstall Lion and click on the Continue button.
Note: You can also re-download the Lion installer by opening the App Store application. Hold down the OPTION key and click on the Purchases icon in the toolbar. You should now see an active Install button to the right of your Lion purchase entry. There are situations in which this will not work. For example, if you are already booted into the Lion you originally purchased with your Apple ID or if an instance of the Lion installer is located anywhere on your computer.

Hate to suggest this, but you need to ask in the Flash forum. This forum is for Acrobat.

Thinkpad X300 with windows xp sp2 gets blue screen after standby.

We have a Thinkpad X300 (with windows xp sp2) gets blue screen after standby. I mean after you close the lid then open it. Anyone has see this kind of behave before?
Thanks,

I have found the solution to this problem - hope you are still watching the thread.
Express install in parallels seems to be the culprit. Do a custom install instead and set your own virtual hard disk size. I set mine to 12 Gb (12000 Mb)and made it a fixed size instead of "growing" or whatever the heck parallels calls it. I also chose shared network instead of "bridged" (I read that someone else had identified this as part of the problem).
After making those changes it worked like a charm.

I5 17''MBP gets blue screen during install windows 7 32 bit

Hello all:
I heard that quite many people get classic windows' "blue screen" during using windows , whatever Windows XP, Vista or 7. But now i face the "blue screen" during install Windows 7, which means I even can not complete installation.
I bought my Macbook Pro i5 17'' one month ago, and I'm trying to install Windows 7 but I face the problem during the installation. After finishing first 4 steps the computer would restart and start to "finish installation", but at this time it gets "blue screen" and shows "error: 0x0000009c" and stuck there. I have to shut down the turn off button and interrupt the installation.
I don't know if there's any one else face this unlucky situation. I searched on the net and it says the problem could be from memory, graphic card (too new), or even overlocking the cpu,whatever it must be the problem of hardware. I thought it might be the problem of compatible.
If anyone knows how to deal with this problem??!! I do need to use some software under Windows system!

It is good to see that it is indeed a USB2.
The support software on the USB is used in the Pre-boot environment setup and provides drivers for Apple specific hardware, GPU, BT, Mouse, etc. You can verify that by looking at the USB contents. The DVD contains generic drivers when hardware is not recognized as defaults to use. Apple does enough 'secret sauce' to make them different. The following does not explicitly state the USB2 need when using the DVD Installer and mentions W8 (not W7).
From Boot Camp: Creating an ISO image from a Windows installation DVD - Apple Support
Insert a blank USB 2 flash drive that is a least 16GB in size into a USB port on the computer. Boot Camp Assistant uses this drive to store the Windows 8 install media and support drivers during installation of Windows.
Note: This flash drive needs to be formatted for the FAT32 file system and must use the Master Boot Record partitioning scheme. Use Disk Utility to check the format of the flash drive before proceeding, and partition or erase the flash drive if necessary.
I suspect the GPU is not getting the correct driver and the Installer fails. The Generic VGA should work. From the OS X side, can you see files in your BC volume? If yes, can you look for logs in the BC volume at the following locations.
./Windows/Inf/setupapi.dev.log
./Windows/Inf/setupapi.offline.log
./Windows/Inf/setupapi.setup.log

What operating system version, and do you have any backups of your data off the machine? TimeMachine? Option Key bootable clones? Storage? DVD's?
A reinstall of the operating system may be in order as a last resort, so if any of these steps on these links get you into the machine, make sure to backup your personal data (Music, Pictures, Documents, Movies) off the machine to a non-encrypted powered external drive regular storage drive (not TimeMachine as it might be corrupted too) and disconnect as soon as possible.
Good Luck and report back all what you tried.
Also report what change occured before this tragedy happened, was there a Software Update? A EFI firmware update? Etc.

IOS 5 upgrade causing blue screen

After upgrade my iPhone 4 to iOS5 and iTunes 10.5, I started getting blue screens on my computer. They only occur when accessing web pages. I can be surfing the web for a while and eventually it blue screens. It is not everytime, but it does seem to blue screen when a new page is being displayed (never when I am reading a page which has been loaded for a period of time.)
Any ideas? If I need to reinstall prior versions, do I need to downgrade iTunes and then the iOS?
Thanks,
Gary

The 5.0.1 update does not fix the problem. I have a 3GS. Have NEVER had problems with my phone freezing until ios 5. Ever since updating to ios 5, my phone functions will randomly freeze. I can close the phone app and use other apps, but when I come back to the phone app it will just freeze again. I have now been completely unable to make over 10 outbound calls today and this creates major problems as I work remotely and connect with all my clients on-the-go. Having to restore my phone to "hopefully" fix this is a major inconvenience. A new update is needed ASAP!!

Mac mini updated now just get blue screen and a spinning wheel

Mac Mini ppc with tiger.
Updated today (safari, OSX and itunes) after freeing up some space by copying files off to a USB drive. After reboot it gets to a blue screen with a spinning "wheel" and stays there for hours, never gets any further. Will boot to command prompt, target disk mode and a set of DVDs borrowed from work (which won't install as they are for iMac!) but not to anything GUI from the hard disk as far as I can tell atm. Disk utility on the DVDs reports no errors on the internal disk.
All was well before the updates. There was one "funny" but I'm not sure if its relevant. During use today the desktop appeared to get bigger than the screen when changing the screen saver to a snow flake one I used last Christmas (with no problems). As the mouse moves around the screen the screen scrolls in the opposite direction (only about 5 pixels) as used to happen in the old days on my PC when the graphics cards supported higher resolutions than the screen did.
Of course, as luck would have it, I can't find my original tiger disks!
Help!

Safe mode likely won't help, but it is achieved by holding the Shift key down during reboot - press and hold down when you hear the chime. It takes a while longer to boot into safe mode than booting normally, and it loads only core MacOS modules.
One issue that was a perpetual risk with installing updates in versions of MacOS X prior to Leopard was the possibility of disrupting prebinding. Prebinding is the process whereby library files are linked to executables, and problems can occur is applications are running (and in active use) during the installation of updates. If prebinding is disrupted, the system can fail to boot after an update, and the blue screen is a common symptom.
IF prebinding is a problem and you can't boot into safe mode, boot into single user mode (hold Ctrl-S during boot from hearing the chime) and then at the prompt, type 'sudo update_prebinding' (no quotes of course) and hit enter. Enter your admin password when requested, and sit back and wait for the command prompt to reappear, at which point the prebinding update is complete - it could take several minutes.
If that doesn't help, your initial post implies you do not have your original install disks - you may however need them, or a retail MacOS installer, because it may be necessary to perform an archive and install on the hard drive.

Ipad air getting blue screen and restarting

after upgrading to ios8 my ipad is getting blue screen and restarting frequently. I restored my ipad from itunes and configured as new, still same issue.

Hello harichikka,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Since you have already restored your iPad as new, but you're still experiencing this blue screen and restarts, the next step would be to ensure your iPad is up to date, and contact Apple.
iOS: Device unexpectedly restarts, displays Apple logo, or powers off

Satellite A105-S4284 gets Blue Screen of Death when coming out of standby

MySatellite A105-S4284 runnings Windows XP gets a BSOD after coming out of standby or hibernation. With standby, I'll see the login screen where I enter my password, and then it may show the desktop background or even the open app (Outlook or Word, typically) for a second, afterwhich the BSOC appears. For weeks I was getting a black screen sporadically after standby. Researched the problem and saw recommendations to update BIOS. So I updated the BIOS to the latest version, and then I started getting blue screens of death rather than a black screen. Thought the problem was McAfee, because I'd get crashes right after McAfee became active in the background, sometimes without going into standby. Cancelled McAfee, took it off with the cleaner, used Avast instead, and that seemed to help. But then BSODs came back. I uninstalled non-essential software, clearned registry with CC Cleaner, freed up more HD space and defragged, ran SpyBot, etc - but I still get the BSOD almost every time I go into standby or hibernate.
The stop messages on the BSOD don't show a driver. and all begin with 0x0000007E (0x000000C5, ... and then differ after that. One recent one followed with 0x804E13D5, 0xAA6B9B8C, 0xAA6B9888). Does that mean anything?
I've installed Microsoft's debugging tools to look at the dumps after a BSOD. Here is output for two recent crashes. Doesn't point to a driver. NTKRMLMP.exe is what crashes - do I need to replace that from the I386 folder somehow? I did have my Matsu**bleep**a DVD-CD drive suddenly quit a time or two until the computer was restarted. Should I reinstall the DVD driver? Or the graphics driver? Worried that I might break something by doing that.

In safe mode it is not possible to standby. That is disabled. Tried to make it possible with Toshiba's power control service, but it is not available.
In a new account, the BSOD still occurs. I created a new account, logged out of my account, and went to the new one. Tried standby. It came out of standby for a second and then had the blue screen of death.
In checking the event manager, I seen errors shortly before crashes sometimes that involve the CD.
So I went to Toshiba.com and downloaded the DVD RAM driver and ran it, reinstalling the driver, and then restarted. I also saw that there was C-Dilla driver in my drivers. I uninstalled the SafeCast program that I think is associated with C-Dilla, moved the C-Dilla driver out of the drivers to a distant folder, unchecked C-Dilla in MSCONFIG so it won't load (it was still there after removing SafeCast), and then reinstarted. So with a new DVD Ram driver and neutering, I hope, of C-Dilla, I tried things again and the system appeared to be crash free - better than it had been. But then a crash occurred - BSOD - and upon restart, the CD locked up, and crashed again.
After restarting, there was a new dialog that popped up after Windows launched indicating that there had been an error with SONIC DLA. Before the crash, there was an event n the event viewer:
My last error comes from the Plug and Play Manager:
The device 'MAT**bleep**A DVD-RAM UJ-841S' (IDE\CdRomMAT**bleep**A_DVD-RAM_UJ-841S________________1.60____\5&226f6cf2&0&0.0.0) disappeared from the system without first being prepared for removal.
Hmmm. So things are still vulnerable. Any ideas? Buy new CD drive? Or new computer?

Ipod crashes computer when itunes is running, get blue screen.
A while back my ipod started having trouble playing songs. I would tell it to play a playlist of say 50 songs, it would then freeze for about 30 minutes, and when it would finally start playing, it would be 30 songs into the playlist. I also couldn't get itunes to read it.
So I used itunes restore feature, and then after that, every time it tries to synch to itunes, it would crash the computer, and I would get the blue screen saying that my computer was dumping physical memory. Well nothing gets dumped from my computer when it does it, and the ipod stays the same.
I even tried formatting it manually, having windows fix it, having itunes restore it again, but always the same thing... once it was restored.. BAM computer crashes.
I can have it plugged in no problems, I can run itunes no problem, but when the two are done at the same time, it would crash my computer.
So I looked for other reasons. I needed major updates for vista, so I downloaded all of them, which took a while. And I even uninstalled itunes and re-downloaded and installed. Now what happens is Itunes freezes when it's plugged in, but I can still use all my other windows, just itunes is inoperable while the ipod is plugged in. As soon as it is unplugged, itunes starts working fine again.
I'm not that great with this sort of tech thing, so any suggestions would really be appreciated.

many thanks, i!
atapi.sys is a Windows OS file ... it's your Standard IDE/ESDI Hard Disk Controller. So it's plausible that it's either got damaged, or we're looking at a driver issue that is manifesting as trouble with atapi.sys. So we'll proceed on those two fronts to begin with.
Just in case the file is damaged, I think we should try an sfc /scannow. It's not user-friendly on an XP system, but the following document may be of some help (fingers crossed):
http://www.updatexp.com/scannow-sfc.html
If no joy with the scannow, we'll try making sure your drivers and so forth are up to date. If you've got a name brand PC, head to the manufacturer's website and look for the downloads page for your model. Look for newer versions of firmware for your hard drive, BIOS updates and chipset driver updates (in particular), but now might be a good time to check on things like video drivers, RAID controllers and so forth.
If you've got third-party componentry installed in the PC (like for example, a USB card, or an external drive, or a new internal hard drive), or if you have a home/custom-built PC, head to the websites of the manufacturer's components (in particular the motherboard manufacturer), and check for newer drivers, firmware and BIOS versions there. The following document may be of some assistance with that:
Updating the drivers on your Windows PC
Any joy with any of those measures?

Iphone 5 keeps getting blue screen and turning off, and wont go bk on

my iphone 5 keeps getting blue screen, turning off and not going bk on for a few hours then it comes on ive reset phone works then it starts doing same problem over again

Hey there aussiekris,
It sounds like your phone is unexpectedly turning off. I suggest the troubleshooting steps outlined in this article named:
iPhone: Hardware troubleshooting
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts2802
Will not turn on, will not turn on unless connected to power, or unexpected power off
Verify that the Sleep/Wake button functions. If it does not function, inspect it for signs of damage. If the button is damaged or is not functioning when pressed, seek service.
Check if a Liquid Contact Indicator (LCI) is activated or there are signs of corrosion. Learn about LCIsand corrosion.
Connect the iPhone to the iPhone's USB power adapter and let it charge for at least ten minutes.
After at least 30 minutes, if:
The home screen appears: The iPhone should be working. Update to the latest version of iOS if necessary. Continue charging it until it is completely charged and you see this battery icon in the upper-right corner of the screen . Then unplug the phone from power. If it immediately turns off, seek service.
The low-battery image appears, even after the phone has charged for at least 20 minutes: See "iPhone displays the low-battery image and is unresponsive" symptom in this article.
Something other than the Home screen or Low Battery image appears, continue with this article for further troubleshooting steps.
If the iPhone did not turn on, reset it while connected to the iPhone USB power adapter.
If the display turns on, go to step 4.
If the display remains black, go to next step.
Connect the iPhone to a computer and open iTunes. If iTunes recognizes the iPhone and indicates that it is in recovery mode, attempt to restore the iPhone. If the iPhone doesn't appear in iTunes or if you have difficulties in restoring the iPhone, see this article for further assistance.
If restoring the iPhone resolved the issue, go to step 4. If restoring the iPhone did not solve the issue, seek service.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Cheers,

IPhone5s stuck in recovery mode after lots of times displaying blue screen of death, cannot restore it as iTunes displays error 14 on verification, same time phone crashes again with blue screen.

hi, my iPhone5s is only 3 months old, it has been like a whole month now since it started crashing, displaying the blue screen of death, since yesterday it was in the loop of restart-crash, and now it is stuck in recovery mode after lots of times displaying blue screen.
I cannot restore it as phone continues crashing again with blue screen, when iTunes displays error 14 on verification.
help please, this phone is all the means of communication I have.

It's a hardware problem. That's it. You shouldn't bother yourself with this situation. Just see an AASP.

I just started using this again and getting blue screen often

Tecra M2V-S330 Running Windows XP Service Pak 2 I just started using this notebook again as my wife took my new one over. It works alright but I keep getting blue screen and it shuts down. I have to restart it all the time. I cant read the blue screen errors but I am pretty certain I need a new hard drive. Can anyone help? I think I should buy a new hard drive. I have the backup disk but on this unit I cant find the hard drive? On my other notebook I found the hard drive unscrewed and replaced it no problem. This one is weird I know its a 40gb but can I put a 60 in? The notebook says the hard drive is MK4025GAS Any help would be awesome!

I cant read the blue screen errors..
The default for a Stop error is to automatically restart the computer. Let's fix that so you can see the error message.
Open System Properties (sysdm.cpl). On the Advanced tab, click the Settings button at the bottom under Startup and Recovery. Clear the Automatically restart check box.
Report the Stop errror and any file name mentioned on the blue screen.
