Blue screen after installing windows update

I get this error message after I install the windows updates. I have the K8n Neo Platinum with Nvidia Nforce 3 250gb chipset. I am running XP X64. The computer runs great until I do the windows update. I have tried changing setting in the bios but that don't matter. Here are 3 pix. I had to take them quick so they aren't very good. I am right now re-formatting again so I am on my other computer.
OK how do you add pix from a digital camera on this forum??? ,
Here is what it says. stop: c000021a (fatal system error) this session manager initialization system process terminated unexpectedly with a status of 0xc0000263 (0x00000000 0x00000000) the system has been shut down.
It then goes into a reboot mode and comes back with the same blue screen error code.
Help

I e-mailed MSI tech support today also about the problem. A month ago I did the same thing. The tech said "oh I haven't heard of that happening before" So thanks for the link. I can't wait to get the "haven't had that happen before" DUUHHHH again. I will just link them. A month ago I wrote went through about 10 of the updates. Doing a re-install, updating and see what happens. I wrote down a couple of them that cause problems. It was just way to much work to time consuming so I just stopped.
I don't quite understand that voltage thing with the processor. I would think you should be able to set the bios to "fail safe setting" and it should run and do everything.
It don't look like they posted a fix for this problem. But I didn't install any of the security updates anyways. I wonder if it is just my Motherboard or what. There must be someone out there who is running x64 with one of these boards.
thanks again.

IMacs blue screen after recent Windows Update!!

Hi,
Our iMacs running XP-Pro did a recent round of Windows Updates 9/2. They are all blue screening Pagefaultin non-paged area, win32k.sys problem.
System Restore does not work
Can only boot to Safe Mode
Tried Last Known Good configuration (worked on some)
Has anyone else seen this and has a fix?
Thanks

I have seen this problem on a bunch of iMacs running bootcamp at multiple sites. The issue is definetly a mixture of ATI graphics cards and a recent windows update (I have not been able to identify which one). The fix has been simple though.
1. Reboot the iMac
2. Hold down the Option(alt) key
3. Select Windows partition
4. Quicky tap the F8 key after the partition selection
5. Select Enable VGA mode
6. Install BootCamp 3.0 drivers.
7. Reboot
That should do it. I have fixed about 20 macs this way, no fuss, plus the newer drivers add a whole bunch of enhancements to the iMac running XP.

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.

Mac Freezes on Blue Screen After Installing Updates! Help!

hi
Have just done the updates that were available for my wifes mac mini. All went well and it said restart to complete. I did this but when it restarted it would not get past the blue screen, the mouse cursor is there and moving but thats all.
Now my problm is i haven't got a clue about mac's, the wife is away and don't want to tell her that i've managed to trash her Mac as she has got quite a bit on there. If it was windows it would be fine as am happy with that but it isn't and i am stuck!!!!!(read dead if i can't sort it out before she gets back!!)
Now what i want to know is how can i basically get it back to where it was before installing the updtaes or can i get back to a state of working without deleting anything progs installed etc? With windows you can use there system restore after booting in safe mode. Is there a way i can do it with the mac or something along those lines.
i know this is probably a pain post but i am stuck
Cheers in advance for any help
Mac Mini 1.66GHZ INTEL Dual Core Mac OS X (10.0.x)

The only way to get back to a state before the updates is if a backup was made.
As for booting in safe mode, you can try holding the shift key.
If that works, it says that some attached peripheral needs an updated driver. Remove all third party peripherals, and see if it boots.
If It doesn't boot, it is likely the directory is damaged, or the hard drive is very full, or the hard drive might be dying. You can also try zapping the PRAM:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=2238
Unfortunately there is no way to tell the difference between the above possibilities, and if you use a directory repair utility on a dying hard drive, it may speed its death. How valuable is her data to her, and is it backed up anywhere?

Mac Mini mid 2011 Windows 7 64 Bit crashes to blue screen after install of Boot Camp Drivers

Hello.
I have installed Windows 7 64 bit on my Mac Mini mid 2011. After the install, I install the Bootcamp Drivers and then after the restart it starts to load and then crashes. Is there some trick to get it to work, It runs fine if I do not install the drivers, but not much works on it.
Thank you in advance for any help.

Hi,
Same thing here - but on Mac mini mid 2010...
I have installed the newest drivers downloaded via Boot Camp Assistant 4.0 (from Lion 10.7.1) on Windows 7 64-bit but the updated graphic driver causes my both screens (monitor - MiniDisplayPort and TV - HDMI) to go black, and eventually computer restarts or freezes.
I did some checks reinstalled whole windows, narrowed search to graphisc drivers and can confirm that up to BootCamp version 3.3 (nvidia ver. 19x.x) everything is fine but drivers from Boot Camp 4.0 (nvidia ver. 26x.x) simply render Windows 7 in 64-bit variant useless.
I look forward to some sort of solution or update from Apple as soon as poddible...!!

Blue Screen after Installing Drivers Windows 7

So I am running Bootcamp 3. I have installed Windows 7 Home Premium. After I install the drivers from the Apple OS X CD and restart I get a blue screen of death. I can reboot in safe mode. I can boot into Windows normally but it crashes after about 45 seconds.
I have tried this on two identical Mac Pro. When it crashes it sites Cache_Manager.
Any help would be appreciated.

I have tried this on two identical Mac Pro. When it crashes it sites Cache_Manager.
On a Bootcamped Windows 7 x64 system, that's likely to be the AppleHFS.sys driver. There's some troubleshooting advice in the following thread at Macrumors:

Blue screen after installing labview 8

I recently installed Labview 8 Professional Dev. Suite on to a Win. XP SP2 system. The image before installation was stable. After the installation and reboot, the system blue screens (I have been unable to read the exact message on the blue screen) and reboots. I was able to boot if I selected "using last know configuration" option in the Windows XP boot options, indicating that the problem is driver/registry related. After I use the last know configuration, I get an error message "nidevmon.exe - Application Error. The application failed to initialize properly (0xc0000142). Click on OK to terminate the application."
I tried to repair all of the installed NI products without any success.
Device manager shows all devices installed properly without any conflicts.
Please advise on how I can resolve this installation conflict.
Thanks.
--Jeff

Hi, I am experiencing the same problem. When my system boots up I receive the "nidevmon.exe could not be initialized" error message. When I try to manually start the program after startup, I still get the same message. I am running Microsoft Windows XP [Version 5.1.2600] and have also updated my system with the latest patches. I have the ni USB-6008 device. My system is an IBM Thinkpad T40, 1.5Ghz Centrino, with 512MB ram, and 80GB hd. I have installed labview 7.1 and then NI-DAQmx 8.0 that came with the card.
Furthermore, the hardware does not succesfully install on my system. After I install the software, reboot and plug the usb device in, the hardware wizard pops up. However, in the end, I get "Windows cannot initialize the device driver for this hardware. (Code 37)". I suspect this has to do with the nidevmon.exe not initializing. The ni hardware appears to be fine, I have successfully installed the devices in another system. I uninstalled and reinstalled the ni-daqmx 8.0 software several times, and even downloaded version 7.5 from the web, however this did not solve the problem either. I would appreciate any suggestions..
Thanks,

Blue Screen after installing WRT600N

I have been running two wired high-end machines for over a year with an old Linksys 10/100 wired and wireless B Router. I wanted to get the wired and wireless speed a bit faster so I bought the WRT600N mainly for the Gigabit switch and the USB port. I went through the install wizard and got it configured. But I am having numerous issues with this new router that my old trusty Linksys router never did with the same configuration. I will enter different post for each issue if I can’t find help searching the forum.
1.       I started to get the following:
       Blue Screen error: “IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUALL”
a.       I first started getting this error on the machine running the Linksys Advisor software. The Machine is running the 64 bit version of Vista so I thought maybe the software did not like Vista or the 64 bit version. This machine is wired to the gigabit switch on the WRT600N. But then my other machine got the same Blue Screen Error. It has a gigabit Nic and is not running the Linksys Advisor. This second machine has been stable and has never had a Blue Screen on XP or Vista 32 Bit. So when it got this same error I ruled out that my Vista 64 bit machine had a problem with a piece of hardware or a specific software application. With both of these machines with gigabit NICs that ran fine on the old Linksys B router now getting this Blue Screen Error a bit longer than a year after I installed Vista. And I have added no new hardware or software to the Vista 32 bit machine for years other than Windows Updates, but this machine doesn't have Vista SP1 install where the 64 bit machine does. The 32 bit machine is a Dual Xeon CPU machine that is rock solid.
So does anyone know what might be the issue here? I have been in Technical support for years before I moved up to Director of Product Management and Marketing but I still keep up with the latest new software and hardware and after working on this for a few months I believe it has to be this new Linksys WRT600N router, but if someone else has seen this and fixed this and it is not the new WRT600N please let me know what you did.
Lastly, I searched the forum and read all that I could find on this error message and nothing was helpful in my situation as these aren’t laptops moving from network to network they are desktop machines. I also did some Google searching but no luck.
Oh, and by the way I don’t know if the router is misconfigured or broken but my old 10/100 seemed faster on file transfer/etc. than this supposed Router with a Gigabit switch. Anyone have any ideas on that please let me know as well.
I am running WPA-Personal, maybe the encryption is slowing things down…. Who knows….
Thanks for any help and since there is no new firmware I figure this router may still have some bugs and maybe this might be one.

I'm completely exhausted.
I cant make this "outstanding, the most powerfull" soundcard work.
The last thing was - i deleted all the creative soft and installed only the driver. After system comes, and windows desktop is visible, the computer freezes and only hard reset can wake it up.
What the problem is??
I've sent this issue with my system configuration to creative, filled the form on the site.

Blue Screen Crash Running Windows Update on Reboot

I installed Windows 7 and Boot Camp Support Software. Installation went smoothly and no problems. When I run Windows Update, it requires a system reboot; however, each time I boot into the Windows partition, I get the dreaded blue screen of death. Then on reboot, Windows runs startup repair and restores the last installation. I think the problem might be that I am installing too many updates at a single time but not sure if it's something to do with the Boot Camp partition. I deleted the Windows partition and reinstalled Boot Camp but the problem persists. Windows 7 works fine, but can't seem to install updates.

Did you get the Apple drivers installed off your OS X DVD?
Is that what you mean by "reinstalled Boot Camp" ?
Did you get Apple Software Update (in Windows of course) up to Boot Camp 3.2?
Try getting those installed before Windows updates more.
No need to 'delete' Windows partition, just do a custom clean format and install what you meant?
No need to deal with Boot Camp Assistant again, all that does is set aside and create a partition to begin with.

Mac gets blue screen while installing Windows 7 with bootcamp

I had a problem while trying to install Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit on my MacBook mid-2010. When i would create the partition using bootcamp assistant and my computer restarted into the install process, i would get a blue screen. The blue screen would occur after my computer restarted and was completing the installation. If I try to reboot the machine, it gives me an error "The computer restarted unexpectedly or encountered an unexpected error. Windows installation cannot proceed. To install Windows, click ok to restart the computer, and then restart the installation." I first tried this on yosemite, but when it was not working I tried wiping the hard drive and i installed mavericks. I got the same problem, so it does not have to do with the OS. I have installed Windows 7 32-bit on this computer before. But i still get the same error with 32-bit also. I know that this computer supports windows 7 and 64-bit too. If anyone know why this might be happening and how i can fix it, please let me know. Thank you.

Blue Screen after installing 2nd HD as Slave

As soon as I installed a 2nd HD as slave, I get the occasional blue screen, with the following:
MACHINE_CHECK_EXCEPTION
Stop: 0x0000009C (0x00000004, 0x805366F0, 0xB2000000, 0x00070F0F)
I have had no problems for the past two weeks until I installed this 2nd HD. By the way, the 2nd HD is relatively new, I have used it in another computer and has never given me problems.
Here are the steps I took and what I observed:
1) I BOOT using the 1st HD (PRIMARY). I disabled the 2nd HD from "Device Manager". (Basically, I am trying to isolate the two drives)
2) Everything is fine. I can work and play games while I am using the 1st drive.
3) Next, I BOOT using the 2nd HD (SLAVE). I disabled the 1st HD from "Device Manager".
4) Problems begin. I get that Blue Screen - sometimes during the BOOTING, sometimes while I am working in windows.
It seems to come down to something going on with the "slave channel"
I have installed the NVIDIA CK8S Parallel ATA Controller (v2.5) as well as updating to (v2.6).
Here are my system specs:
OS: Windows XP (All updates, excluding service pack 2)
AThlon64 2800+
MSI K8N Neo Platinum (MS-7030)
1 GB OCZ PC3500 memory
ATI x800pro
Western Digital WD800JB (Primary)
Western Digital WD800BB (Secondary)
Audigy 2 ZS
Please Help!

well, as I suspected you have 18amps on the 12v rail, same as me, I get those same errors when burning a DVD from an ISO, (got the BSOD 3 times actually), doing the same thing, and the other day I got it while surfing, I have a high quality PSU, a thermaltake 480 but unfortunately it has also 18amps on the 12v rail, so I'm waiting to duplicate the BSOD and take out some parts to see if the problem remains...
I did this the other day to check how much current I was using.. I don't believe this is not even 90% accurate, but at least to give you an idea..
AMPS
7.73 - cpu
0.30 - mother
0.25 - system fan
0.25 - 2nd system fan
0.25 - PSU Fan 1
0.25 - PSU Fan 2
0.25 - cpu fan
2 - 2x ide HDD
0.85 - DVD Drive
0.75 - DVD RW Drive
13amps === Total
Now, if you have a 18amps power supply remember that those specifications could be under ideal conditions, (no heat, etc). I assume that what mine is really providing is something between 13 - 15 amps, yours could be even lower, do you have another PSU you could try with? (I don't, so I haven't had the chance),
Also, if that doesn't help, try removing all the other components from your system, and leaving only the most basic stuff,,,e.g. remove fans (leave cpu fan of course), cdrom, dvd, floppy, video card, etc etc, leave just the two harddrives.... please let me know if that solved the problem for I'm also thinking about getting another PSU.. but wanted to make sure before..

PC fails to reboot and shows blank screen after automatic windows updates including SP

Pavilion- a1130n" WINXP ProfessionalC fails to reboot and shows blank screen after automatic install ing windows updates including SP 3

I would love to say that a refresh worked for me however it did not.It takes about 30 Minutes total I was able to trace part of the issue to a Registry Key that was tagging the processor. Because my BIOS manages its own temp gauge and windows is trying to
build on in I had to turn the BIOS one off as well as for some reason I get better funtionality with Visualization off.
I am still dealing with a lag but I was able to get ride of the freeze that made the computer completely useless.
