Blue screen BEFORE installation

I'm trying to install OSX 10.5 on my MacBook Pro. I ran Disk Utilities and everything came up fine. I made the mistake, should've read the posts here first, of opting for the upgrade. The computer restarts and boots to the apple screen, then blue screen. The drive sounds like it's doing something but who knows?
Any ideas? I haven't found this problem noted anywhere else. Let me know if I'm missing something.

It could simply be a dirty or damaged disk.
Look at the DVD and see if you see an oily film or scratches on it.
If it's dirty, clean it with a soft damp cloth, wiping radially, inside to outside.

  • IMac intel: 5 minutes of blue screen before startup! Help!

    Hi-
    I have a Core Duo 17" iMac. I've erased the hard drive and installed a clean, new copy of 10.5. It takes the computer 5 minutes of blue screen before starting. There are no peripherals attached, no other software than the Apple system software installed. I erased the hard drive and installed 10.6, and had the same problem. Reset the SMC, zapped the PRAM. Replaced the memory chips. Replaced the hard drive. Nothing helps.
    The console log shows lots of delay about "did not die after sending SIGKILL." The Console log also shows the 5 minute delay in startup. In the log below, look at the entry at 5:21 pm on 9/15. That's when the computer started, then the next entry is 5 minutes later at 5:26pm. That's my 5 minute blue screen startup.
    Anyone know what's going on? Thanks.

    Curious to know how you got to 10.5.8, If you went through Software Update, using the "Delta" updates, or if you used the 10.5.8 Combo? It might be worthwhile applying (or re-applying) the 10.5.8 Combo, which might serve to fill in anything missing or possibly corrupted.
    http://support.apple.com/downloads/MacOS_X_10_5_8_ComboUpdate
    The other thing I'd try is running Applejack which is a very useful little program for troubleshooting and repairing. It runs from Single User Mode. Hold CMD-S at the startup chime. Here's a short article explaining how it's used. (Also, be sure to read the Read Me.) It's very easy to use. You just follow the on screen prompts. First, just type in applejack and press return. To begin with, I'd only run it only for steps 3 and 4, which will do a relatively light cache cleaning (but, importantly in your case, clean out the boot cache) and check for corrupted Preference files. Doing it this way, you'll also be able to run those steps for your user, not just the system. If that doesn't help, you can run it for deeper cache cleaning by typing in applejack AUTO and let it run through a full sequence of tasks. Note: that if you do a deeper cache cleaning, you can expect the system to run a bit slower until those caches are rebuilt.

  • Start Up Issue-Gray Screen, Apple Logo And Cognition Wheel-Blue screen before start up at times but no longer starting up beyond gray screen and cognition wheel

    Power button pressed.
    Start up light okay
    Chimes okay
    Gray screen, apple logo and cognition wheel spinning and the loading bar underneath loading 1/10th of the way.
    Loading bar doesnt load fully and then disappears.
    Gray screen remains with apple logo and cognition wheel only.
    No start up to desktop. Before start up to desk top which is not happening any more a blue screen appeared before the desktop appeared. When start up complete the ' Finder' had no responded and did not work' Multi coloured loading pointer continually turned. ' Network' could not be loaded in 'System Prefrences'.
    Ive tried reading and following propts...Results NVRAM/PRAM - Logic board battery replacement. How much will this cost?
    Hardware test - No problem found
    Safe Boot - ' volume Machintosh HD could not be repaired.'
    ' Run time corruption detected on Machintosh HD device'
    What do you suggest aside from taking it to a apple store?
    Thanks Stephen

    Lion or Snow Leopard? If Lion, boot into your Recovery partition (hold down the Command and R keys whilst booting) and use Disk Utility to verify and, if needed, repair the boot volume.
    If Snow Leopard, use the installation disc and use Disk Utility in the same manner.

  • Acrobat 9 Pro blue-screens during installation (registration) and bluescreens during uninstall

    I tried to install Acrobat 9 Pro.  It got to the registration part and Acrobat crashed my Win 7 laptop with a PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA (error 0x50 on bluescreen).   Attempting to uninstall results in the same error/blue screen.   I can do an installation repair, which does complete, but when I start Adobe Acrobat, it still brings up Acrobat and seems to work fine only for about 10 seconds beore it bluescreens with the same error.  I still cannot uninstall or run Acrobat without bluescreening.  I can run Adobe Reader, Photoshop CS5, Lightroom 4 and do anything I usually do on my laptop without any issues.  However, if I try to use Acrobat, it crashes my laptop every time.   I once was able to bring up the option to update the software and I saw some message about registration or something being disabled, but it crashed immediately so I was unable to fully read the message. 

    What has happened is that you have selected to install the PDF add-on which will not run alongside your version of Acrobat. Without warning, the installation just uninstalls the incompatible full version of Acrobat.
    I don't think you can just uninstall the add-on so you will need to uninstall Rh, reinstall Acrobat 9 then reinstall Rh deselecting the add-on.
    I am not sure that will be entirely trouble free as Word has to be compatible with Acrobat and I don't know if your two versions are.
    It's not a way of forcing you to upgrade but I do agree it could be handled better.

  • D20 - 4158 with Marvel Raid + windows 7 failed to restart (Blue screen) after installation

    I installed Windows 7 64 bit by providing the Marvell RAID driver downloaded from  http://support.lenovo.com/en_US/downloads/detail.page?&LegacyDocID=MIGR-73716. The installation goes fine, when the computer restarts, the windows 7 logo flashes and then immediately the blue screen comes and then the computer restarts. This continues repeatedly.
    I checked the Raid, we have one array with Raid 0 configuration. I could not find out why the OS installation goes fine but it fails to restart
    Kindly provide some technical input.
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    After double checking the link you provided....I'm confused on your setup.  Can you reiterate which drives you have in the system and which ports they are connected to?
    For a D20, you should have all HDDs attached to the blue ports.  These ports route directly back to the Marvell controller.  Then during the OS install, you need to supply the Marvell driver (not the Intel RAID driver that you specified in your link).
    The only reason you would supply the drive you listed in your link is if you're attempting to run HDDs off the black ports on the system.  This will work (but is not supported) for regualar HDDs in a non-RAID config.  The D20 utilizes the ICH10, not the ICH10R, so there is no way to utilize RAID off these ports.  The black ports are intended for ODD use only.
    So I'm guessing you either have drives connected incorrectly, or you were attempting to provide the incorrect driver during the OS installation.

  • Startup Process fails at Blue Screen before Login Window

    OS/X 1.5.8 though this has occurred off and on for a year now.
    I have the Sys-Pref Energy-Saver/Schedule "Start-up" set for 5AM.
    I get to the Macbook-pro maybe 5 to 10 min later. Lift Lid.
    Usually I see the Login-window.
    Several times a month I see just a blue screen.
    What causes this start-up failure?

    Don't know about the Lid. Doesn't matter most days.
    As for Logs ... well, Console log portions, during startup, don't show Crashes. They do show warnings and errors. Yet the process seems to go on.
    here;'s one FWIW

  • IMac G5 – Won't startup except in Safe Mode (10.5.5). Otherwise Blue Screen

    I’ve had my iMac (pre-iSight) for about 3 years now and up until recently never had any major problems with it, despite using it for about 12 hours per day, every day.. A couple of minor problems however had developed, but several months ago and didn’t seem to affect the system:
    (1) Software update stopped working (had to download & install updates manually) &
    (2) Couldn’t verify or repair permissions (even pre 10.5.5. Even when I tried to repair them from another startup disk, the message I got was ‘no package receipts’ – although I could see that they were there in the “receipts” library folder)
    A couple of days ago I decided to try and fix the problems by erasing my startup disk (after backing up all my data of course) and re-installing 10.5 from the installation DVD and then bringing the system up to date. At the time I did this I hadn’t upgraded or installed any new software for several weeks.
    For about one day after that it worked fine. The only ‘alarming’ thing that I noticed during that day was that whilst playing a movie the CPU temperature rose to about 89 C. (I use Temperature Monitor). I read somewhere that the CPU temperature should not exceed 85 for this model and that if it did the system would either shutdown or go to sleep, so I was surprised to see it go as high as 89 (assuming that the right temperature was being reported) before it went to sleep. However, even after that it, it started up correctly a couple of times.
    Since then it will only boot in Safe mode, and when it does it carries on working indefinitely without any problems. The only thing that I lose in safe mode which seems odd – in addition to all the things that I know I should lose – is Audio. The preferences panel says: no input, output devices attached (ie not even the ones built-in).
    If I try a normal start up, the system will go through the grey screen, apple logo, spinning ‘cog’ etc and then almost always go to a blue screen where it stays put. There is a black cursor in the top left corner which, when I try to move it, duplicates itself so that I end up with 2 cursors – one which moves and one which stays in the top left corner.
    On very rare occasions (about 1 time in 20) during a normal startup the system will get past the blue screen and to my desktop (in fact this happened several times consecutively before I got to the point where I could only startup in Safe Mode). However, moving the cursor into the menu bar or into the dock would result in the whole screen freezing – the cursor would move, but nothing else would happen). Also I would see that several pixels were ‘missing’ from the desktop. The desktop is normally solid green, but I would see 3 or 4 red and black pixels.
    I’ve studied all the forum topics that even remotely resemble my problem and tried just about everything I can think of including:
    1. Resetting SMU & PRAM (repetitively)
    2. Running the Apple Hardware Test – All tests passed
    3. Replacing the PRAM battery
    4. Check that the fans are working (I can hear them and when I take the back off, both fans spin)
    5. Erased the disk again, installed the OS from the installation DVD, so that there is no third party software on the system. (and then tried a normal boot both with the original 10.5.1 and 10.5.5 after applying the combo update).
    6. I have several external disks with several copies of the OS on various partitions, including a 10.4.11, but trying to boot from any of those ends with the same result. I can only boot in safe mode, other wise I get a blue screen (or very rarely it will squeak through to the desktop & then immediately freeze).
    Always the same result – safe boot only.
    From reading through the various topics, I get the feeling that my problem may be related to the graphics card, but if that is the case I don’t understand why the system will always boot in safe mode and then run without any problems all day. It even allows me to play movies: very jerky (and no sound), both when I move the QT window and the images themselves, but it still plays.
    Any thoughts on what the problem might be (other than fatal) would be greatly appreciated. Or an explanation why, if it is the graphics card, the system will continue working after safe boot.
    I’ve copied out the system details from Profiler that I think are relevant below.

    I had a very similar problem with my 20" iMac G5 ALS running 10.4.11. It began with random freezing inside the OS and intermittent slow booting, but quickly progressed (over a matter of days) to hanging at the blue screen before the logon window, just as you described.
    I too, found that booting in Safe Mode was successful. I ruled out the airport card by manually installing that kernel extension in Safe Mode. A check of the logs pointed to "ATY" which I've since found out is a reference to the ATI drivers, which brought me to this post.
    At least on my system--and I have tested this on Tiger (10.4 and 10.4.11) and Leopard (10.5 and 10.5.6), the only .kext that needs to be removed / renamed is ATIRadeon9700.kext. My preferred method of doing this is to drop to the terminal and type:
    sudo mv /System/Library/Extensions/ATIRadeon.kext /System/Library/Extensions/ATIRadeon.kext.disabled
    This preserves the relevant permissions and ownership, which you'd otherwise have to reset manually if you copy the file elsewhere and then delete the original in the Finder, and then want to restore it to its original condition, BTW:
    sudo chmod -R 755 /System/Library/Extensions/ATIRadeon.kext
    sudo chown -R 0:0 /System/Library/Extensions/ATIRadeon.kext
    Any OS X update will replenish the file, so you should be at the ready to reboot into Safe Mode the first time and rename the file again.
    The downside to all this is that the video acceleration doesn't work, so graphics operations are slow and jerky, but at least everything else seems to be okay, in my case anyway.
    Popping open the case did indeed reveal four bulging capacitors. I bit the bullet and purchased some replacements, part number 647-UHN0J182MPD from Mouser:
    http://mouser.com/Search/ProductDetail.aspx?qs=pjJ%252bhmlZec6zHXGt6EoiHw%3d%3d
    Although I wasn't looking forward to desoldering my logic board, I wasn't real hopeful that I'd have success getting the local Apple shop to replace it under warranty either. I did find some helpful information on performing the fix yourself:
    http://jimwarholic.com/2008/07/how-to-repair-apple-imac-g5.php
    And I do want to be able to sell this thing for at least a little cash to help offset the cost of a new quad-core iMac, whenever they're released.
    Fortunately, for me, the service tech at the Genius Bar at the local Apple store agreed to fix it under the power and video extended warranty, even though it was slightly outside of the warranty period, due to the fact that I had brought it in about a year ago and had the power supply replaced under the same warranty.
    I almost didn't bother to bring the machine in because it's a real nasty day here today, and I figured they'd just tell me "That'll be $800 to fix it," and I'd end up doing surgery on the logic board anyway in addition to carrying the thing up and down the steps to my condo. Boy am I glad I did, though. Apple customer service rocks.

  • Day after I got it - stalling at blue screen

    Hi All,
    Just got a newly refurbished 20" iMac yesterday. Worked perfectly fine last night.
    This morning, I went to turn it on and left it there for a while. Then I came back and it was asleep, and b/c I didn't have much time and didn't remember how to get it out of sleep mode, I simply shut it down.
    When I restarted it, it went through the OSX boot up, but then stalled at the blue screen before the login as user comes up. The mouse was appearing and working fine, it's just the screen sat there as blue. I tried restarting again - same thing. Then I tried restarting holding the option key and clicking the hard drive icon when it came up, but still, same thing.
    I'm transferring from PCs and was looking forward to a trouble free mac experience, but this is becoming pretty frustrating so far.

    Hello, and welcome to the iMac Intel Apple Discussions.
    Whenever you force quit a Mac, as you did, you run the risk of damaging the disk directory. If you want a trouble-free experience with a Mac you need to at least allow yourself the time to understand the basics, and not blame the computer for something which you did. The old computer adage even applies to Macs, "Garbage in = garbage out."
    If you can boot to the Install DVD, after selecting your language, when the installer appears go to Disk Utility under the Utilities menu. In Disk Utility select your HD, the top listing in the left hand side, and in the First Aid pane press Repair Disk. If it lists any repairs run it until no more repairs are reported. If no repairs are reported, you may need to reinstall the Mac OS. If you have not really installed anything on your Mac which you mind losing, I suggest a complete erase of the HD, writing zeros, and a new custom install. With a custom install you can reclaim about 5 to 6 Gbs if you install only the language resources and printer drivers you need for your Mac. The Custom button will appear at the bottom of the installer as you progress through the install screens. After you press it the installer will show you what is being installed. Press the triangles to show more details. Remove the check mark from printer brands and languages you do not need on your Mac.
    If you have installed a lot of personal items on the Mac; photos, music, etc., then you can do an Archive and install, which will install a fresh Macs OS X but preserve all your personal files and settings.
    Everyone is friendly and helpful here in the user to user forums, but first impressions set the tone for your experience. You were very dismissive of a brody in his attempt to assist you, "I don't think that's the problem...Anyone else..." He is a very experienced and respected contributor in the Apple Discussions. If folks feel that is going to be your approach to assistance, they will read your problem, see how you treat people and move on without offering any help.

  • Blue Screen On eMac From Generic USB cable for a digital camera?

    I recently got a digital camera from a friend and ordered a $2 usb cable to upload my pics. it uploaded them fine but the next time i started my computer i got a blue screen with only the mouse curser on it. i unplugged the cable and tried to start it again and it worked but then it froze again. now every time i start it ( with all the cables unplugged except for the mouse and key board ) it goes to the blue screen.

    If you boot in Safe Mode and open Applications/Utilities/Console, can you view the logs (e.g. system.log, CrashReporter logs, panic.log, etc.) looking for events tagged at the time of one of the blue screen starts? Look for indications that the eMac was trying to load some library or start some service, and never came back from that.
    How did you upload the pictures from the camera? Did you use a Mac program iPhoto or Graphic Converter or the like, manually drag the photos in the Finder, or did you use camera software? That you can boot in Safe Mode (which disables third-party drivers) but not normally raises the possibility that camera-specific software installed incompatible drivers onto your hard drive. Not that all camera manufacturer software is suspect by any means (Kodak EasyShare works OK on my eMac, for instance), put it's possible some third-party software written for Intel Macs would install itself on your PPC eMac.
    If you did use third-party camera software, you have some options. Check the camera manufacturer's website and see if there's a updated installer for the software, especially one for your OS version, and most especially if there are different PPC and Intel versions. If you find a more recent or more PPC-specific version, download that onto CD-R and install it on the eMac after booting in Safe mode.
    Another option: boot in Safe Mode, and look for anything you can be certain was installed by the camera software. Look for manufacturer/model name and/or install date. Look at the root level of your hard drive in the Library and System/Library folders, since the eMac is going to blue screen before you ever get to the login prompt (note: if your eMac is set up to automatically log you you, extend the search to your home directory Users/yourname/Library folder as well). Besides searching by name (command-F) on the hard drive, you can manually inspect folders to spot things that may not occur to you to plug into the search box. Some places to look:
    /Library/Application Support
    /Library/Extensions
    /Library/PreferencePanes
    /System/Library/Extensions
    /System/Library/Contextual Menu Items
    You can move suspect software to a holding folder (don't delete anything yet!) and then see if a normal start will work.

  • Qosmio G30 repeatedly "blue screens"

    My G30-153 repeatedly blue screens lately.
    It would restart then blue screen again after a while. I tried to recover it with the recovery CD but it blue screens before this can complete.
    My collegue believes the fan is not operating.
    How can this be verified? Perhaps something in the BIOS?
    How can I check if there is dirt on the fan ? Maybe it just needs cleaning?
    Can the fan be replaced by a user or is this something only a dealer should do?
    Could this be a virus and not the fan at all ??

    Hi
    As I understand the BSOD appears and the notebook shuts down automatically. Am I right?
    Usually the BSOD appears if there is a critical software problem or the hardware would malfunctions.
    I believe its a second possibility due to the fact that the installation from the Recovery CD cannot be performed correctly!
    > My colleague believes the fan is not operating. How can this be verified? Perhaps something in the BIOS?
    Can you hear the cooling module? Usually if the fan rotates you should be able to hear this.
    The dust and debris inside the notebook could lead to the fan rotation problems and to the overheating issues.
    If the notebook would overheat the OS would shut down the notebook automatically to prevent the hardware from damage!
    Maybe its your case!
    > How can I check if there is dirt on the fan ? Maybe it just needs cleaning? Can the fan be replaced by a user or is this something only a dealer should do?
    Usually the technician should check the notebook and if necessary should clean it. But if you have a little bit notebook experience you could try to clean the fans using the professional cooling module cleaning tool. Every notebook dealer offers the compressed air spays. This can help you to blow the air through the cooling modules to get rid of the dust and debris.
    But if you have no experience, contact the technician for the help!
    >Could this be a virus and not the fan at all?
    No, I dont think it's a virus issue but of course maybe an other device problem

  • 21.5 iMac display blue screen after installing Win7 and boot camp

    But after I installed the boot camp 3.0 from Mac OS X 10.6 disc and pressed the restart buttom, the computer restarted and displayed a blue screen before entering the Windows and then reboot again automatically.

  • Firefox crashes MY COMPUTER!!! When I open it, my computer BLUE SCREENS then turns off!!!

    Within the past few months, I have not been able to use Firefox at all. It started crashing my whole computer, making the whole thing go blue screen before shutting down, and I have uninstalled and reinstalled it TWICE, the second time sacrificing ALL OF MY BOOKMARKS, and even after that, it STILL CRASHED MY COMPUTER! My college professors prefer that I use this browser to do my WebCT assignments (and *tests*) and I have been unable to do so.

    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox#Mac
    <pre><nowiki>Mac:
    Profile folders are in one of these locations:
    ~/Library/Application Support/Firefox/Profiles/<profile folder>
    ~/Library/Mozilla/Firefox/Profiles/<profile folder>
    The tilde character (~) refers to the current user's Home folder, so ~/Library is the /Macintosh HD/Users/<username>/Library folder. </nowiki></pre>

  • IPhone 6 Blue Screen Crash Now my Phone will not stop crashing: Has Not turned back on after last crash.

    I very recently got my new iPhone 6. I got it on new years eve. I'm not sure what version of the OS it is on, but I'm going to assume it is on the latest, 8.1.2. Today has been the only day i have had an issue. Earlier in the day the phone froze and the Wifi was showing to only have one bar. They Phone then shut off and flashed a red screen for about a second. After that, I had no issues for a few hours. Later that night the phone crashed three times. 2 of them showed a blue screen before crashing. The third time the phone would not let me open any apps and then just shut down, and as of right now it has not turned back on. Is there a way to fix this or am I going to have to replace my phone?

    I was able to turn it on but when I turned on WiFI the apps would not open and the phone crashed again and turned off.

  • Extremely Slow Startup, Blue Screen, and Poor Performance

    Hello,
    A couple of weeks ago my MBP 15" (late 2009 model) started performing really poorly. The colour wheel would spin for about 2 minutes if a launched any applications and everything was really slow. It also took about 10 minutes on the grey apple screen to startup and then another 10 or so on the blue screen before slowly revealiing my desktop.
    I took it into the genius bar and the said it might be a corrupt file on the HD. Backed up my HD, zeroed the drive and reinstalled OS. Still the same problems. Ran disk utility several times and got various errors pertaining to HD or RAM.
    Took it back into the Genius bar and they ran a long diagnostic on it, came back to me and said it is deifinatly the RAM. I replaced the ram, (2x2GB ddr3-1066 sodimm) and cleared PRam. Still the same startup and performance issues.
    Any ideas would be appreciated as this is stressing me out big time as I dont know what else it could be?

    Hmm... before this I think I would have restarted the computer in Safe Boot mode which deletes the dynamic-loader shared cache.
    Not sure if it is relevant at this point
    Safe Boot
    # it forces a directory check of the startup volume.
    # It loads only required kernel extensions (some of the items in /System/Library/Extensions).
    # In Mac OS X v10.3.9 or earlier, Safe Mode runs only Apple-installed startup items (such items may be installed either in /Library/StartupItems or in /System/Library/StartupItems; these are different than user-selected account login items).
    # It disables all fonts other than those in /System/Library/Fonts (Mac OS X v10.4 or later).
    # It moves to the Trash all font caches normally stored in /Library/Caches/com.apple.ATS/(uid)/ , where (uid) is a user ID number such as 501 (Mac OS X v10.4 or later).
    # It disables all startup items and login items (Mac OS X v10.4 or later).
    # Mac OS X v10.5.6 or later: A Safe Boot deletes the dynamic loader shared cache at (/var/db/dyld/). A cache with issues may cause a blue screen on startup, particularly after a Software Update. Restarting normally recreates this cache.

    Did you run the Apple Hardware Test. What is the S.M.A.R.T. status, could be that HD is failing?

  • Blue Screen in Firefox 6 (same problem since Firefox 4!)

    Don't know why this is happening at all, and it's been happening since Firefox 4, I submitted a problem then, too, and got zero help, but hey, maybe this time, right?
    There is nothing special going on when I get the Blue Screen. This one occurred when Firefox was the only program running, I had about 6 tabs up (nothing major, I've had 20+ open without problems before version 4 came along). Basically, I'll be happily surfing away, I'll go to click on a different tab and my PC will freeze and I'll get the Blue Screen. The error message in the BSoD says something like "attempt to reset the display adapter has failed"...same problem I had with FF4.
    Since the crash happens before Firefox can recognize it, I have no Firefox generated crash report (it's Blue Screened before it can create one, I guess) but I DO have the windows "there was a problem shutting down dialog" pasted here:
    Problem signature:

    Any help would be superb. I'm just decided to give Firefox another chance when I heard 6 rolled out, since I completely skipped over 5 due to the problems I had with 4 I figured maybe they'd fixed the problem. Guess not. Until then, viva la Google Chrome, I guess. I'd prefer Firefox, but it doesn't seem like they want me using their product...
    (Oh, before someone recommends I disable Flash like they did last time I submitted this problem, it doesn't matter. I get the blue screen whether the Flash plugin is turned on or not...so it's not "ATI's problem with Flash", before someone gives me THAT reason again...)

    Sorry about the crash, and thanks for reporting it. This crash looks like it might be related to hardware-accelerated graphics. Try opening the "Advanced" section of the Firefox options window, and turn off the "Use hardware acceleration" option (under "Browsing" on the General tab). Then please let us know if you still have any problems.
