Appletemp.sys + BSOD (blue screen of death) with Skype 4.1 using Bootcamp

Hi There,
I am using Skype on my Macbook Aluminum running Vista Business. Every time I run Skype I get a BSOD which is incredibly frustrating, especially if during calls. It doesn't happen straight away but after a few minutes. The error message on the BSOD is appletemp.sys.
Anyone else experience this/ know a workaround? I am considering trying older versions of Skype to see if they are more compatible.
After getting the audio working well this is the hopefully last problem I will be experiencing running what is really an awesome combo.
Cheers,
BaliApple

Me too, exactly same issue, tried updating skype, the sound card drivers, video card drivers and no help, now I dont use skype in windows anymore which I hate because the windows version is a lot better.
I also have a problem with msn messenger on video calls, I have everything working fine and suddenly the microphone volume goes to 0 by itself and I have to restart the application to get it working again.
I hoping apple can fix this when the new bootcamp is released, whenever this is.

  • Blue Screen of Death with Nano 2nd gen

    We just got a 2nd gen Nano 8GB for xmas and everytime we connect it to our PC it gives the Blue Screen of Death and then reboots. The codes it gives with the BSOD are as follows:
    Stop: 0x00000050 (0xfffffff0, 0x00000000, 0x8044e86f, 0x00000000)
    PAGEFAULT_IN_NONPAGEDAREA
    *Address 8044E86F base at 80400000 DateStamp 45069e6e ntoskrnl.exe
    Beginning dump of Physical Memory
    Operating system is Win2k and it does this regardless of iTunes being installed on the computer or not. I have another older PC running Win2k Server and the iPod is recognized on that PC but iTunes won't load on that PC for some reason (I'm thinking it's not compatible with Win2k server?) I'm not sure if the PC that gives the BSOD has USB2.0 on it if that matters. My other MP3 player (ZenMicro Photo) works fine on the same USB port I'm using to plug the iPod into.
    Any help is appreciated

    If the iPod is working on your gf's laptop then it's not (likely) the iPod. That blue screen you are getting is a Windows issue. Do you have warranty support still active on your computer? My mom recently had the dreaded blue screen and Dell was able to send her a packet of disks (Windows XP and other discs) that were needed to get things back straight. It did not make her loose any data either so she didn't have to do a full restore on the system.

  • A Blue Screen of Death With My 3rd. GEN Pods

    I hope someone has the patience to help
    me out with a Pod-related question; your assistance would be immeasurable.
    In 2003 I purchased both a 30-GIG and a 20-GIG i-Pod,
    both of course with the functions located just below the
    screen, not on the scroll wheel (I think both models
    are 3rd Gen. Pods).
    In 2005 I bought a 60-GIG i-Pod with photo and have
    since relegated the 20 and 30-GIG models to
    non-use.
    At this current juncture, though, I am within 20 or so
    songs of having filled up my 60-GIG with songs and,
    rather than spend more $$ n the new 80-GIG model (I
    have an external hard drive that has stored more than
    90% of my tunes), I would like to restore either the
    20-or 30-GIG models and place new songs on it/them.
    The problem: After taking the 20-GIG out of mothballs
    and fully charging it at a i-Pod dock connected to a portable speaker system last weekend (Altec Lansing), I then placed it on the dock connected to my computer. After almost a minute, my screen turned blue and a statement appeared: Your computer is being shut down to prevent serious damage to your system, or something to that effect.
    Being the trooper, I restarted my computer and then proceeded to try my fortunes with the 30-GIG
    (same process for charging as mentioned above), and
    once more, upon its being placed on the computer dock,
    I got the same "blue screen of death" and same
    warning.
    In both cases, I had to restart my computer and to of
    course, remove the Pods from the dock.
    The blue screen contained this information:
    "Page fault-in; nonpaged area; .0x00000050 ntfs.sys. If problem continues, disable/remove any newly installed hardware/ software."
    Does anyone know why my computer is resistant to the
    earlier model Pods but not to either an i-Pod MIni
    that I got from a friend over this summer or to my
    60-GIGer? It is the same computer I used to load the
    songs that currently exist on these two early models
    (Windows XP has replaced Windows 2000, if that means
    anything). The computer is a Compaq Presario.
    Again, my sincere thanks for taking the time to read
    and reply.

    Have you tried to connect your iPod with other computer? Does it has the same problem?
    ] Windows users having trouble with their iPods should locate a Mac user. In many cases when an iPod won't show up on a PC that it will show up on the Mac. Then it can be restored. When the PC user returns to his computer the iPod will be recognized by the PC, reformatted for the PC, and usable again. By the way, it works in reverse too. A Mac user often can get his iPod back by connecting it to a PC and restoring it.
    Tips
    a. It does not matter whether the format is completed or not, the key is to erase (or partly) the corrupted firmware files on the Hard Drive of the iPod. After that, when the iPod re-connected with a computer, it will be recognized as an fresh external hard drive, it will show up on the iTunes 7.
    b. It is not a difficult issue for a Mac user to find a window base computer, for a PC user, if they can’t find any Mac user, they can go to a nearest Apple Shop for a favor.
    c. You may need to switch around the PC and Mac, try to do several attempts between “Format” and “Restore”

  • IPOD causes "Blue Screen of Death" with physical memory dump

    Plugged in the IPOD into USB port on computer. It shows "found USB device" and then 5-10 seconds later I get the blue screen of death and a notification that there is a driver error and a physical memory dump as occurred.
    Spent two hours with Apple people and Dell people this morning and nothing. I have updated drivers, flashed my bios, uninstalled and then reinstalled the latest version of Itunes.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    what numerical and text codes are you getting with it? (ie 0x[zeros/letters/numbers] CAPSANDUNDERSCORES)
    if the blue screen mentions a specific file, let us know what that is called too. (exact spelling, please.)
    here's a reference on the sorts of things i'm asking about:
    Troubleshooting Windows Stop Messages
    if you're just seeing a flash of a blue screen, we can use this technique to make hidden blue screens appear for us:
    1) Open your system control panel (Start->Control Panels->System).
    2) Select the "Advanced" tab.
    3) Click the "Startup and Recover" section's "Settings" button
    4) Verify that under "System Failure" the "Automatically restart" checkbox is not checked.

  • Blue screen of death with HDD Hardware Test error on iMac HELP!!

    My iMac is not starting up.  It just get the blue screen of death during startup.  It is a 2.66 mghz duo with 2gb 800 ram.  I was able to get the Hardware test to run and got an error of 4M0T/2/40000004: HDD-1560.  I am assuming it is an error with the internal hard drive since I have nothing else hooked up to the mac other than the keyboard and mouse right now.  Does this code mean my hard drive is completely shot?  Any help would be appreciated.

    4M0T/2/40000004: HDD-1560.  
    Either failing or failed   
    You can have Apple replace the drive at a nearby Apple store or an Apple certified repair shop.

  • Blue Screen of Death with XP and E1000

    I am getting the blue screen of death on my Thinkpad running XP and wireless G with E1000 router.  I have narrowed it down to issues with my wireless connection, but am wondering if I setup the router incorrectly.  Any suggestions?

    My XP ThinkPad didn't quite get to that blue-screen point, but it was no fun. The driver update mentioned previously is important (I updated both wired and wireless drivers at the same time) as is fully updating/patching XP.
    Access Connections was causing me more trouble than it was worth, so I uninstalled that.
    I think those were the three crucial steps (on the computer side anyway) that finally got things working.

  • BSOD (Blue Screen of Death) when starting AE CS5

    Is anyone else having this problem?  It started randomly after a fresh install where AE just crashes to bsod and writes a dump file.  After I reboot, I can go into it no problem but it tells me this error.
    "After Effects Warning: Error parsing properties list from file C:\users\joe\appdata\roaming\after effects\10.0\AIFEffectCache.xml.  It has been renamed to "AIFEffectCache.xml.old for backup.  Proceeding."

    hi
    i am new here and just on this subject i had run in with similer problams in past as i build pcs for photo video editing co
    BSOD (blue screen of deth) normaly occurs due to hardware (or software trying to push hardware ) in your case if i am not wrong cpu or ram or hdd in my cases 1st one i had was cpu was not set at correct voltage and running at higher clock (bad overclocking)
    2nd time different machine i had hdd failure (it was secondory drive not os drive)
    3rd and recent i had problam with ram 8 gb ddr3 1600 wich motherboard decided to run at 1.4v insted of 1.65v and timing was set to 7-7-7-32 insted of 9-9-9-24.
    in short i have seen machines giving bsod jor just having faulty usb connector ( draining power ) to faulty psu but to trace it follow normal comman sence
    1 dose it happnes at peak cpu use  ?
    2 or memory use
    3 hdd use
    4 did it use to happen before or just happning now if yes then what changed scince last use ? (confliting programs, reg keys)
    5 if all above is fine  then dose it happen at random times or just under load  ?
    check bios and compare all the settings with hardware specs that it is configured right
    strip pc down to bare minimum and rum it if works start adding other bits till you get problem
    in most new build pc (self build) it is down to bios setting or not compatable parts (fully approved by mobo)
    old pc over heating confliting software or reg keys ( good clean heatsinks and clean install easiest solution)

  • Blue screen of death with LV7.0 Eval version

    I had been programming for a couple weeks with no problems, trying to see whether or not Labview could handle the data acquisition requirements that we need for our software. Specifically, I was a little concerned that LV maybe be too "high level" to run fast enough for us. We're acquiring 2 analog voltage signals and an edge counter for X, Y and Z position values and streaming them into an intensity graph to get a picture of our scanned object. I had been using the DAQ Assistant VI to do the acquisition, which understably contains quite a bit of overhead, but the acquisition rate seemed to be okay (around 400Hz while streaming points into a 200x200 array on a DAQCard-6036E). I wasn't quite done the interpolation routine though and was afraid that would slow it down some more.
    On Monday I got my first BSOD just a couple seconds after starting my program after using the software for hours. I brushed it off as a fluke and rebooted. Yesterday late in the afternoon I got another one after working on it and testing all day, but this time it never dumped the physical memory (it just hung). Much more concerning, I got a third one today upon just loading up Labview and trying to run my program for the first time. I took down the error message as:
    IRQL_NOT_LESS_THAN_OR_EQUAL
    STOP:0X000000A(0X6D665346,0X0000002,0X0000001,0X80519E8C)
    I rebooted, and upon trying to load windows, I got a message that SYSTEM was corrupt. Our IT guy came by and rebooted again, which seemed to work alright. But then when he rebooted again we got -another- one with no "IRQL" statement. I did manage to get it going again by rebooting for a 3rd time.
    What worries me is that this is getting progressively worse. For weeks I seemed to be able to tinker at will with the software and do all sorts of neat stuff and it didn't give me any errors. I haven't installed anything new this week at all, and suddenly it's crapping out faster and faster.
    I'm using (or was, until I uninstalled everything for safety) LV Eval version installed on NI-DAQ 7.0 with a Toshiba TE2100 laptop (P4, 2GHz, 256meg). Are there any known issues with version 7.0? I had tried installing the Eval version (I guess it's really called "Express") on NI-DAQ 7.2, but the DAQ Assistant never showed up in the menu. After a few calls to NI tech support, I tried version 7.3 and it still wasn't there (and if you're new at LV, you NEED the DAQ Assistant), so I tried 7.0 and it worked fine.
    I've attached my program. It's disorganized, yes, but it does the job. Any ideas?

    Hi Tyler,
    I'm using WinXP Pro, and I haven't tried the program on another computer yet. The tricky thing is that it's one of those intermittent problems. So I could install it on someone else's computer and have it run fine for weeks, then crash on the last day. The BSOD did not identify any particular problem file, only the IRQ error and that it was dumping physical memory. I know they sometimes give you the exact file that the problem occurred in, but not in my case.
    I did a fair amount of searching through this forum and in general regarding Labview and conflicts with other software. I found one message from a couple years ago on another forum regarding BSOD's, and one reply asked "You're not using Sophos virus checker, are you?". Coincidentally, this is the only thing that had been installed on my computer since installing Labview. However, it was installed about 2 weeks prior to the first BSOD. Something I forgot to mention was that my laptop was taking suspiciously long to boot up. I could type in my name and password and come back 5 minutes later and it would still be loading my desktop. It wasn't until I physically removed the DAQ card and then rebooted that I saw it return to normal. I then uninstalled all NI software and reinstalled everthing, this time going with the 7.3.1 drivers. On Friday I also disabled Sophos virus checker for one day. So far it's run error-free today (even with Sophos re-enabled), and my computer booted up normal speed even with the DAQ left in it over the weekend. However, for the first time, Labview crashed on me today (performed illegal operation... do you want to send error report to microsoft etc...).
    I sure hope the problems I'm having aren't indicative of the normal operation of the software. It's been amazing to program with so far, and its unbelievably powerful, but if BSOD's and mysterious crashes are the norm, it's going to be worse than our current software (which in itself isn't very good).

  • Constant BSOD (Blue Screen of Death) on Windows 7 w/ Bootcamp 4

    Please see below for what comes up constantly while doing work on the Windows 7 side of my iMac while running Bootcamp 4.
    So here is my setup:
    Brand New 27" iMac (just got it new in August 2011)
    Intel core i5 2.7 Ghz
    8GB RAM
    AMD Radeon HD 6770M
    I am running Lion latest version on Mac OS X side.
    I installed Windows 7 Home Premium SP1 with Bootcamp 4.
    I loaded the drivers like I am so supposed to with my Mac Disk.
    When in Windows 7 Home Premium SP1, everything works fine for the most part, except sometimes it just freezes up and the BSOD pops up (see below for exact message)
    It's completely random. Sometimes I can play a hardcore 3D war game or an MMO for 6 hours with no problem, sometimes I am just watching a video on youtube for a minute and it just stops.
    I called Apple, they don't really care. They said to start from scratch and do a full clear and reinstall, so I did. I cleared my Bootcamp partition, then I made a new one and completeley reinstalled Windows 7 Home Premium.  I have done this 4 times. I have also tried to make new disks for the updated drivers for my installation on Windows side. The problem persists.
    Everything is completely updated and all the newest patches and versions are installed on both the Windows and Mac side. I am at a complete loss as to what to do with this.
    I cannot update my video card from within Windows - Apple must provide the updated drivers themselves. In fact, I can update NO drivers of the iMac hardware from the Windows side.
    PLEASE HELP ME!!!

    If you haven't already I recommend reposting in the Boot Camp forum. That's where the Boot Camp guys tend to hang out.

  • Will the BSOD (Blue Screen Of Death) problem ever be fixed? iPhone5s

    I bought my iPhone5s in NYC. On the third day, BSOD came up, and restart. This continued for 2 days, making the phone impossible to use.5s because they said iPhone5s came out with this problem and many people experienced it.
    I Live in France and a couple of months ago, i had the same problem. Went to a Genius Bar in London and they changed my iPhone for a new one (again). I had to wait 2 weeks for it to arrive from NYC and had it shipped to France once it got to London.
    When I got my THIRD new iPhone5s, as soon as I opened the package and connected it to iTunes, BSOD and Restart problem continued.
    On Monday, I went to another Ganius Bar appointment in Nantes, France and they actually did nothing for me, they told me that the only thing they could do is give me another new iPhone by ordering it again from NYC. So now, i have to wait another 2 weeks for my FOURTH NEW iPhone5s and hope that i don't have the same problem again.
    Its actually unbelievable that loyal Apple customers (like me) who not only own an iPhone but a MAC, iPad and iPod are getting such a horrible customer service and product reliability. Whats goping on with Apple's product quality? I am really upset an frustrated because I seriously CAN'T be going to a Genius Bar every single time I have the SAME PROBLEM.
    ¿WILL APPLE FIND A SOLUTION FOR THE iPhone5s BSOD & Restart PROBLEM?
    4 iPhone5s and the same problem on EACH ONE. #Shameful

    This happens with jailbroken and physically abused phones (very rarely to defective phones under warranty).  The solution is to not jailbrake or allow physical damage.

  • Blue Screen of Death - DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_THAN_OR_EQUAL (SynTP.sys) Satellite P55-A5200

    I am running Windows 8.1 Pro.
    Frequently over the last several days, when I wake my computer from sleep, I get the blue screen of death with error DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_THAN_OR_EQUAL (SynTP.sys) which forces a restart.
    Because of the SynTP.sys error, I have updated the track pad driver several times, using the latest driver from Toshiba (Syanptics 17.0.10.1 2013-09-24) and have alternatively used the recommended drive from Windows 8.1 (Synaptics 17.0.8.21 dated 2013/08/23). Neither driver helped.
    I have reinstalled Windows 8.1 Pro amongst other attempted soluntions.
    I now have removed all Synaptics drivers and am running the Generic Windows PS/2 driver. Interestingly, since this installtion, I have not had the blue screen.
    Any thoughts would be appreciated.
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    This error appears to be caused by the Synaptics SMB Touchpad Driver 17.0.10.1 and/or 17.0.8.
    I rolled back the driver to version 16.4.20 and have not had a problem since.

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

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

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