Blue Screen 15 seconds after every start up

As it says, I get a blue screen (don't think its the screen of death) that only appears for a second or less once windows 7 has a chance to load. I think it says something about hardware, it could be telling me to check it. I can't get enough time to read it. AFter it appears the Mac just shuts down.
I'm running a stock 2.8Ghz quad mac pro from last november. Just after the install it was fine, installed a driver for my wacom tablet and the windows support software that Apple suggested I download. I think it could be a funky driver. I saw somewhere online about a bad driver being supplied which caused something similar but that was from a few years ago.
Any ideas?

x: is the booted system, you have to change it to c: this is the system partition of boot camp
at the command prompt type:
c: [enter]
cd [foldername] to change directory and cd.. to go back
to move files type:
move [filename] [foldername] if the level of the folder is the same as the file
to move the file one level up type:
move filename ../
to rename the file type:
rename [filename]
when this is working for you and you are able to boot your system, you need a USB mouse since the touchpad is deactivated because of the missing drivers
then download the newest Boot Camp drivers, after the install everything is working again.
you can see the files when you are in OSX, but you can´t rename then, you need a NTFS Driver for OSX first, which allows you to write to NTFS Partition.
Good luck!

Screen brightness resets after every start up

Hi all, haven't been here in about a year. My imac's brightness has been resetting to the darkest point every time I shut down then subsequently start up (next day, whenever). I always had it set at it's highest point, which is what I preffered, and now I have to set it with the keyboard EVERYTIME! Not the end of the world but a little irritating. I don't know if it's related but also lately my normally smooth running imac has been hanging up on me with the spinning beach ball of death and I routinely have to initiate a "force quit" but don't have to actually force quit any app. for the imac to resume as normal. All I have to do is close the force quit window, wierd. 3rd party culprit?
Thanks guy's.

Sounds strange.. Have you done the usual maintenance people around here suggest... repair permission.. clean caches? That's what I would do considering your other problems.
May want to try a Utility like this:
http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/26516
Also, you may want to consider creating another account.. set that account to open upon boot... and see if the screen problem persists. If it doesn't, then it may be an issue with a preferences file...although I'm not sure screen brightness is controlled by a preferences file.. worth a shot though.

My flash player continues to buffer every few seconds after it starts

My flash player continues to buffer every few seconds after it starts, it plays then buffers, plays then buffers. It worked just fine up until a few months ago. I’m not sure what changed. I am running windows vista. I checked the add-ons and the flash player is enabled. I tried turning off the popup blocker. I just downloaded the latest version and no change.
Please help Thank you!

Acrobat 9 Std Blue Screens on Second Scan

I am using Acrobat 9 Standard with a Fujitsu fi-6140 and the Kofax VRS Twain driver on Win XP SP3. I have it set to launch Acrobat whenever I hit the scan button on the scanner and OCR the PDF in Acrobat.
On the first scan, Acrobat brings up the custom scan dialog, and everything proceeds normally.
However, if I leave Acrobat 9 open and start a new scan, the document scans and I get to the point where Acrobat asks me if the scan is complete, or whether I want to scan more pages. If I tell it the scan is complete, then Acrobat crashes spectacularly with a blue screen. This happens every time. I have tried repairing the installation, reinstalling with the latest scanner drivers, etc. Any ideas?
Thanks.

I was having similar issue on one workstation. I could open and edit other types of docs (word, excel, etc) and could change the names of pdf documents but when saving the pdf after making any changes it would act like it was open by another user and would prompt for saving under different name. Also, could open and edit a document on one workstation and go back to problem one and it couldn't. Both workstations are Windows 7 and were using acrobat v8.1.3
Updated both to 8.1.4 and the issue went away. Couldn't any reference to this problem in the patch notes however.

Qosmio F20 blue screen of death after shutdown

Hi there,
I get the blue screen of death after shutdown on my Qosmio F20 laptop.
Error is IRQ_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL.
I assume that it is somehow related to tv tuner card.
I have tried to restore system - no good. After restoration for some time it was OK. But then BSOD appeared again.
Sometimes it also appears when I connect USB HDDs or even when I insert DVD disk.
And for shure everytime I shut laptop down.
Has anybody got ideas?

Hi
Reading you last message I really dont know what you expect from this forum ?:|
We all here can provide only some suggestions and opinions.
Without any notebook tests and checks nobody will be able to provide a magic solution
I hope you understand this.
So back to the notebook issue.
There is a one way to find out if the issue could be related to the software or hardware.
You have to reinstall the notebook with the Toshiba recovery CD. If the same BSOD will appear after the installation from the recovery CD then the chance are that the hardware is faulty!
I think you should check this out.

Blue Screen of Death after GPIB Software Drivers 2.1 install, nipsbfw.sys, nipalk.sys

I get a blue screen of death after I upgraded the GPIS Software Drivers to 2.1. The screen complains about the following files: nipsbfw.sys and nipalk.sys.
I'll copy down the exact message and post it...

Hello fkwok �
First, make sure GPIB software driver 2.1 is the correct driver for your operating system and board by clicking here.
If you are using Windows 2000, this KnowledgeBase is extremely useful.
If these suggestions do not solve your problem, please post the exact message and I will look into the issue some more. Have a great day!

Acrobat 8 Professional crashes 10 seconds after you start the application xp

Acrobat 8 Professional crashes 10 seconds after you start the application. I have adobe acrobat 8.1 running on a dell vostro 1400 vista.

Are you sure it's crashed and not 'temporarily-frozen'?
I'm having this issue with Acrobat 9, in which it launches and runs long enough to page down two times and then stops responding for about 30 seconds.

I can't download OS5 or, rather, iTunes does download it about 450 mb and then, a few seconds after it starts processing the file, I get the message that I am timed out and am recommended to check my internet connection. I am using 3g to download it.

Blue screen crashes with specifc error starting to show up on restart

I keep getting blue screen crashes and as I start up the system I get this error constantly.
c:\users\computeruser\appdata\roaming\newnext.me\nengine.dll error can you please send me a fix for this issue.

In order to assist you, we will need the .DMP files to analyze what exactly occurred at the time of the crash, etc.
If
you don't know where .DMP files are located, here's how to get to them:
1. Navigate
to the %systemroot%\Minidump folder.
2. Copy any and all
DMP files in the Minidump folder to your Desktop and then zip up these files.
3. Upload
the zip containing the .DMP files to Onedrive or a hosting site of your choice and paste in your reply. Prefered sites: Onedrive, Mediafire, Dropbox, etc. Nothing with wait-timers.
4 (optional): The type
of .DMP files located in the Minidump folder are known as Small Memory Dumps. In %systemroot% there will be what is known as a Kernel-Dump (if your system is set to generate). It is labeled MEMORY.DMP. The difference between Small Memory Dumps and Kernel-Dumps
in the simplest definition is a Kernel-Dump contains much more
information at the time of the crash, therefore allowing further debugging of your issue. If your upload speed permits it, and you aren't going against any strict bandwidth and/or usage caps, etc, the Kernel-Dump is the best choice. Do note that Kernel-Dumps
are much larger in
size due to containing much more info, which is why I mentioned upload speed, etc.
If
you are going to use Onedrive but don't know how to upload to it, please visit the following:
Upload
photos and files to Onedrive.
Please note that any "cleaner" programs such as TuneUp Utilities, CCleaner, etc, by default
will delete .DMP files upon use.
If
your computer is not generating .DMP files, please do the following:
1. Start > type %systemroot%
which should show the Windows folder, click on it. Once inside that folder, ensure there is a Minidump folder created. If not, CTRL-SHIFT-N to make a New Folder and name it Minidump.
2. Windows key + Pause
key. This should bring up System. Click Advanced System Settings on the left > Advanced > Performance > Settings > Advanced > Ensure there's a check-mark for 'Automatically manage paging file size for all drives'.
3. Windows key + Pause
key. This should bring up System. Click Advanced System Settings on the left > Advanced > Startup and Recovery > Settings > System Failure > ensure there is a check mark next to 'Write an event to the system log'.
Ensure Small Memory Dump is selected and ensure the path is %systemroot%\Minidump.
4. Double check that
the WERS is ENABLED:
Start > Search > type services.msc > Under the name tab, find Windows Error Reporting Service > If the status of the service is
not Started then right click it and select Start. Also ensure that under Startup Type it is set to Automatic rather than Manual. You can do this by right clicking it, selecting properties, and under General selecting startup type to 'Automatic', and then click
Apply.

Blue screen and no login at start up after 10.6 install

After installing 10.6, I am not able to log into my MacBook Pro, unless I do so in safe mode.
I get passed the grey apple/boot up screen, then rather than having the list of users, I just get a blue screen (the mouse is there).
I have tried the following:
1. Booted from external drive and repaired permissions.
2. Logged into safe mode and deleted all start up items.
3. Reset the PRAM ect.
4. Removed all items from the "startupitems" folder within library.
5. Tried fresh install.
Any other suggestions?

Hi acl2009 & welcome to discussions.
1. Booted from external drive and repaired permissions.
Not recommended if that happened to be an older OS version - only use the version of Disk Utility that comes with SL. Boot from the installer DVD and use DU from there.
Any other suggestions?
Take your laptop and your SL DVD into the nearest Apple Store and ask the staff there for assistance...

MacBook Pro hanging with blue screen and spinner after installing Software Update

Hi I was wondering if someone could help me with this current issue. Just a few hours ago I finished reinstalling Mac OS X Snow Leopard in my MacBook Pro. I performed a clean installation as part of a yearly spring cleaning that I do on all my systems to keep them optimized. So there was I downloading some software updates which included the combo update of OSX 10.6.8 and others. The updates finished downloading and the system logged out to install the updates, when the updates finished installing my MacBook proceeded by logging out into a blue screen and show a gray spinner similar to the one seen when you start your Mac. Here's the problem after 2 hours the system is showing the spinner and the blue screen, I think that my computer has just hanged in the reboot process.
I was wondering what should I do? Do a force restart? Or leave it overnight?
Also, where can I find any information on what error is causing this issue?
I appreciate your responses and help.
By the way, I installed Mac OS X from a USB stick that has the original image of the disk installer that came bundled with my computer.

Kappy wrote:
Force a shutdown. Do not restart yet, but first do the following:
Repair the Hard Drive
Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. 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, then quit DU and return to the installer.
If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
Next, boot into Safe Mode then restart normally.
Hi Kappy,
Checked the hard drive after forcing a shutdown and booting from my Snow Leopard Installer USB Key and the status of the HDD says "Verified". I ran the repair and the volume was repaired successfully. Clicked on "Verify Disk" and it says "Macintosh HD appears to be OK". So I ran a second repair and again no errors were reported.
As suggested I booted back again in Safe Mode and restarted normally. All software appears to have been installed successfully. But I don't understand why my computer hanged and showed the spinner after installing the updates in the blue screen that appears just before rebooting. I am aware that the system shows that spinner after a OS update but the longest it lasts is 30 seconds at the most in my previous cases.

Blue Screen of Death After RAW Compatibility Update

My friend updated her 13" Black MacBook yesterday, specifically the "Digital Camera Raw Compatibility Update 2.3". After a reboot, she got the Apple "Blue Screen of Death", with no login window showing. Looking at system.log, there's a section that looks to be the culprit (this began after restarting due to the install of the update):
Nov 7 13:55:29 Philbert /System/Library/CoreServices/loginwindow.app/Contents/MacOS/loginwindow[31]: Login Window Application Started

Here are some things I've observed/tried, many from sources via the Internet:
- I'm able to login in single-user mode
- I'm not able to login in Safe Mode (hangs on white screen with Apple logo)
- I've tried booting off the 10.5 install DVD and running Disk Utility - verify/repair disk, this comes back ok. However, if I try to verify/repair permissions, it runs for about 10 - 20 mins then freezes. I let the frozen process run overnight (10-12 hours) and no feedback. I can move the mouse, but I cannot select anything.
- When the laptop is booted and on the blue screen, I can connect to it via AFP
- I've tried manually changing the permissions of "/", by doing - chmod 775 /; chmod 1775 /;
- I've tried removing the com.apple.WindowServer.plist and com.apple.loginscreen.plist files in case they were corrupted by the update
- I tried running the "installer" command to re-install the update package from the command line. I run it with the "verbose" flags, I get no output and the process hangs.
Since I can connect via AFP I figure I'll be backing the data up and re-installing OS X. Pretty lame though, considering this failure was caused by running a Software Update. Anyone have a last minute suggestion for me before I go down that path?
I have the full system.log if anyone is curious!
Cheers!

i don't think this is a router issue...i believe it's a hardware issue...this error occured when computer is not getting sufficient memory, drivers are not installed correctly or due to invalid driver installation of any devices installed on the computer...to just isolate the problem try connecting computer directly to the modem and check are you are getting a same error message or not and let me know.

Blue screen of death after update

I just recently received notification that there were updates for my iMac 700. After checking to be sure what the updates were (iTunes and OS security update) I clicked on Update. Not long after this started I was called away for several hours and on return and waking the computer from sleep (options set for 3-screen saver, 5-turn off screen, and 10-sleep) I noted the expected notice about restarting the computer to finish the installation. I clicked Restart and then had to divide my time between two computer almost adjacent to each other. After several minutes when I expected the computer to have finished the install and restarted, I checked and only a blue screen with the spinning time marks were showing. As I watched the screen went black for several seconds then the Blue Screen and Time Marks returned. This same scenerio happened several times over the next hour telling me there was something wrong with the OS and because of lateness I decided to wait until the next day to check the computer. The next morning I turned the computer back on and watch as the blue Apple screen came up for a short time then the spinning Time Marks came on. This lasted about 5 minutes then the screen went black for several seconds (previous was for shifting between multiple updates) but after this happened several times it indicated there was definitely something wrong with the OS. I pulled out my OLD original Tiger (10.4.0) install disks and opened first aid>disk check and ran the disk verification which passed with no notices whatsoever. I then started to re-install 10.4.0 but when it notified me that it could not install because there was newer version of os (10.4.11) installed and to use Options. I quit out of this because one of the options was to erase the disk and because of the install failure in this manner would be unable to backup what was on the computer. I then pulled out the Apple Care disk that came with the computer but that was in classic (9.2) but had not fully loaded after almost a half hour so discontinued the load. What is the data integrity safety factor in reloading 10.4.0 using the save data option as this is the only thing I can see to restore the computer at this time.

It appears to be time for a relatively painless Archive & Install, which gives you a new/old OS, but can preserve all your files, pics, music, settings, etc., as long as you have plenty of free disk space and no Disk corruption, and is relatively quick & painless...
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=107120
Just be sure to select Preserve Users & Settings.
I only use Software Update to see what is needed, then get them for real via...
http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/
That way I can wait a week or so, check the forums for potential problems, and get Permissions & such in order before installing.
