Blue screen after save reboot

hi,
in the middle of work my imac suddenly showed vertical grey / white bars all over the screen.
I reboot with shift key pressed. imac shoes grey screen with apple logo, then the grey progression bar, then blue screen with very small sized vertical dark blue / black bars. is this a hint to graphic card defect?
my imac is a 27" 3,4 ghz quadcore, 16 gb ram, ssd harddrive, os 10.8.x

Take the machine in for service.
We can't help you with that issue.
Good luck.

  • Security Suite Blue Screen after reboot

    I am a new customer for verizon fios and have installed/uninstalled the security suite several times.  I am using Windows XP.  I get the blue screen after reboot no matter what I do.  It goes away as soon as I uinstall or choose last known good windows install (using F8 key during reboot).  Is there a known issue. 

    #1 On the blue screen, was their text?
    #2 If so, what did it say?
    #3 Make sure that you do have another software firewall installed (other than one built into Windows).
    b) But the one in Windows, you should disable.
    #4 Make sure that you do have another anti-virus program installed.

  • My Macbook will not boot the operating system.  It just goes to a blue screen after the apple logo and the spinning wheel goes off.  I took the battery out and held the on/off button for five seconds and reset the PRAM.  I have the old mac os disk.

    My macbook will not boot.  It goes to a blue screen after the logo and wheel goes off.  I have taken the battery out and held the on/off button for five seconds and reset the PRAM.  I have the the original os disk but have not put it in for fear of losing un backed op data.
    Thanks

    You won't lose any data unless you erase your hard drive.
    Put your install DVD into the optical drive and reboot. As soon as you hear the boot chime, hold down the "c"key on your keyboard (or the Option key until the Install Disk shows up). That will force your MacBook to boot from the install DVD in the optical drive.
    When it does start up, you'll see a panel asking you to choose your language. Choose your language and press the Return key on your keyboard once. It will then present you with an Installation window. Completely ignore this window and click on Utilities in the top menu and scroll down to Disk Utility and click it.When it comes up is your Hard Drive in the list on the left?
    If it is then click on the Mac OS partition of your hard drive in the left hand list. Then select the First Aid Tab and run Repair Disk. The Repair Disk button won't be available until you've selected the Mac OS partition on your hard drive. If that repairs any problems run it again until the green OK appears and then run Repair Permissions.

  • Has anyone else experienced blue screens and continuous reboots on 5S

    I picked up my silver 5S 32 GB at the Verizon store Friday morning.  Throughout the morning I noticed that I would hit the home button and it would be powered down.  I loaded the .1 patch assuming maybe it was a glitch.  I went through the rest of the day with a couple more home button/powered down situations.  When I got I home, I plugged it in to iTunes to recover a backup and following the restore it went into blue screen reboot cycle.  I performed the soft reset and restored the backup 3 times with the same results.  The soft reset was the only means to stop the reboot cycle.  I then tried 3 times doing a restore from the cloud with the exact same results.  Finally I did a from scratch install thinking my backups were bad.  It would stay up awhile but then eventually go into the blue screen and reboot.  Sometimes the cycle wouldn't occur in that it would boot up to Home screen following the blue screen.  I took the phone to the Apple store the next day, they looked it over, witnessed the blue screen and confirmed there was an issue.  I then went to the Verizon store and swapped it for a Space Grey 32GB.  I experienced the exact same cycle with the grey so I called Apple.  I have spent 3+ hours working through this with a very helpful agent.  Turns out a have 2 bad ones in a row!  The way I can almost instantly get it to go to blue screen is clicking the Photos icon.  Now I am waiting on a second replacement at the Apple store.  We have done the soft reset, the hard reset, and the phone restore so we know now that the backup had nothing to do with it as I can do a restore and still have it blue screen after clicking Photos.  Anyone seeing anything like this?

    Searching for others who might have the same problem increases your chance of finding a solution.  Common sense in troubleshooting devices dictates you look for others who might have the same problem in hopes someone already has a solution.  Your comment is irrelevant and leads one to think you are spoiling for an argument.  Why???

  • Blue screen after upgrades - 3000 J115 7387-A32

    I recently upgraded the graphics card and memory on my Lenovo 3000 J115 7387-A32.  After the memory upgrade I noticed that when the computer booted it would 1) go to the blue screen, 2) automatically reboot, 3) boot normally to windows vista. 
    I upgraded the Graphics Card from an onboard Nvidia 6100 to an Nvidia 8500 GT pci expressI completed this upgrade a couple days prior to the memory upgrade and noticed no issues when booting the computer.
    I upgraded from 1 gig (2 x 512 mb) of memory to 4 gigs (2 x 2g) ddr2I did notice that the bios system summary notes the memory as 2.5g while the vista - control panel - system notes 4g, but based on the other posts that seems to be a 32-bit OS limitation and should not be causing the blue screen.
     After the computer boots normally, it acknowledges that it did not boot properly and offers to find a solution.  It notes that the problem is due to the NVIDIA nforce serial ATA driver (which as far as I can tell is not related to either graphics card?) and takes me to the NVIDIA site.  I scan my system for both graphics and motherboard, and the results of both scans are that I have the most up to date drivers available.
    I did update my bios through this process.
    It does eventually boot up and seems to be working fine, but the blue screen shouldn't occur and I would like to prevent it if I can.  I would appreciate any help on this issue.

    what are you specs cause i also had some bluie screen errors b4 ( didnt upgrade anything at that point)..and btw i am also looking for an upgrade on a graphics card...i found couple but i have no clue how much my lenovo 7387 can handle (in terms of power supply) can you please help me out here...

  • Blue screen after update to 10.6.2

    After i updated my iMac 24, it restarted, got past the grey screen with apple logo, then get's stock in the blue screen after that. I can move the mouse but that's it. I tried restarting en reset my PRAM, nothing. Then i disconnected everything extrenal, restarted after resetting PRAM again, nothing???
    What do i have to do??????
    Thanks for any help

    Same issue as alembee. Clean install of 10.6. Installed Xcode from disk. Changed a few preferences. Got prompt of 10.6.2 update (plus iTunes and Remote access). When updates were installed, I was given the options to "restart now" or "restart later". I chose now. It looked like I was logged out, but the computer (original MBP Core Duo) stalled at the background nebula/aurora image. I could still move the mouse. Since I enabled ssh remote login, I tested it from another computer. Sure enough, I could login to the MBP and see all the processes running (top). I executed a "sudo reboot" to remotely restart the system.
    I put in the 10.6 disc (held down "c") and went to Disk Utility. Ran Verify Permissions and Verify Disk for good measure (nothing wrong). I have upgraded the RAM and HD since purchase, but I don't see how this would be an issue. Since I was able to login remotely, it was seems to be an issue with proper logout and restarting.

  • Blue screen after Error 37: a bad filename or volume was encountered

    I get a PAGEFAULT_IN_NONPAGEDAREA blue screen after I encounter multiple Error 37: a bad filename or volume was encountered.
    Anyone encounter this issue and how to you send info to apple for them to fix their buggy code?
    Their support of code which will run bug-free on vista seems to be lacking (I understand there are two parties to this marriage).
    Help anyone?

    I noticed a few days ago that (at least on my box) Quicktime seems to have "issues" with >31 characters anywhere in the file path.
    Is it possible that you have some folder along the way to your movie that has more than 31 charaters?
    Shorten if necessary and see if that works.

  • Server 2012 R2 Hyper-V Cluster, VM blue screens after migration between nodes.

    I currently have a two node Server 2012 R2 Hyper-v Cluster (fully patched) with a Windows Server 2012 R2 Iscsi target.
    The VMs run fine all day long, but when I try to do a live/quick migration the VM blue screens after about 20 minutes. The blue reports back about a “Critical_Structure_Corruption”.
    I’m being to think it might be down to CPU, as one system has an E-2640v2 and the other one has an E5-2670v3. Should I be able to migrate between these two systems with these type of CPU?
    Tim

    Sorry Tim, is that all 50 blue screen if live migrated?
    Are they all on the latest integration services? Does a cluster validation complete successfully? Are the hosts patched to the same level?
    The fact that if you power them off then migrate them and they boot fine, does point to a processor incompatibility and the memory BIN file is not accepted on the new host.
    Bit of a long shot but the only other thing I can think of off the top of my head if the compatibility option is checked, is checking the location of the BIN file when the VM is running to make sure its in the same place as the VHD\VHDX in the
    CSV storage where the VM is located and not on the local host somewhere like C:\program data\.... that is stopping it being migrated to the new host when the VM is live migrated.
    Kind Regards

  • Is anyone else experiencing their phone randomly locking up and going to a blue screen after the most recent update?

    iPhone 5s Random Blue Screen after last Update

    I have had 9 iOS devices either just show the apple log and go black or a dead battery even thou they were on the chargers for hours.
    I brought them to the Apple store.  No one could give me an answer as to why it did it.  All you have to do to fix it is do this:
    To put your device into recovery mode, follow these steps:
    Turn off your device and leave it off.
    Plug in your device's USB cable to a computer with iTunes.
    Hold down the Home button on your device as you connect the USB cable. ...
    When you see this screen, release the Home button.
    From the consensus of the people in my office that did the iOS 8.3 update.  The ones that did the update while the iPhone or iPad was on a charger are not experiancing any issues.  The ones that did the update without being on a charger are the ones experianceing the issues at hand.
