Blue Screen BSOD need Help!

Hi,
my Thinkpad SL510 is giving me a blue screen and a black box in the middle of the screen.
I had or still have the 'Mobogenie virus" on my computer and downloaded and run 'Spyhunter 4'
which found a lot of things, but upon restarting I now have this issue.
Also, the cursor is showing that something is active, i.e. it is 'circling'
I am currently using a different computer, so can't download new drivers.
I went into Rescue and Recovery and ran a lot of tests, but no errors found.
What would be the next best step?
Thanks ever so much, gis

wanted to write that if the pointer is inside that box, then it turns and is a cycle, but when outside of the box, the pointer looks like a pointer, i.e. an arrow.
But now the computer is clearing up, so it might have been to do with something still working, so for now at least all is well.
Thanks and bye

Need to reinstall windows 7 after a blue screen crash PLEASE HELP!

I was advised by a technician that I need to have the windows 7 home premium reinstalled after I suffered a blue screen error crash that will not allow the windows to start, it will not allow me to restore at all after trying numerous ways under the instructions of the tecnician by phone. This was a one time help by phone. I cannot afford to pay a professional for this service as I am disabled and on very limited income. I rely on this laptop so much that I am attempting to do this myself under someone's help. This laptop (HP Pavillion g6t-1b00) came with windows 7 Home prem. pre-installed so I do not have a disc (but I do have the original product key sticker)... I have no idea where to find this disc or how to do the reinstall and I desperately need someone's help asap...

The laptop came with software to make a Recovery Disc set. If you did not make it you can order a set from HP. Usually around $16 for Windows 7 media. https://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/mediaOrder?cc=us&lc=en&productOid=5112032&softwareitem=659152-001 Some are reporting trouble using the ordering process. If you can't order there fill out the form on this page for more help. https://support.hp.com/us-en/contact-hp/product/HP-Pavilion-g6-1b00-Notebook-PC-series/5082228/model/5112032

were loaded, and what was responsible.

Blue Screen of Death HELP

I have a WRT4G router that was reset yesterday. I enabled WPA security and am getting BSODs on ALL computers connected to the network. I have about 7 to 10 computers connected at once. DHCP is enabled. The BSOD messages are different each time and range from the USB error to IRQ screens. The weird thing is 90% of the time, when my screen goes blue, 3 or 4 others go blue at the SAME TIME with different blue screen messages. I know the issue must be related to the router as all the BSODs at the same time and it's driving me crazy. We did not have this problem before I reset the router. Any ideas?
p.s. virus scans return nill.

I agree, nothing is installed on the computers from the router but it seems some action taken by the router causes the BSODs. I have looked at the logs on windows and it seems that it may have something to do with the MASTER BROWSER or something. Maybe a name resolution problem. We also play a game on the internet. I have scanned for viruses but no luck. Should a restore help or do we need to do something else?

[SOLVED] Blue Screen Of Death help? Info included

Hello everyone,
First of all, I'm new to this forum and I am probably posting this on the wrong section, sorry about that. :(
Lately I've been having a lot of Blue Screens (some were the same problem repeatedly), I've managed to solve some as I already had experience with them, for example internet connection cards and some software problems. I'm an experienced windows user and very
good with tech, so don't be afraid to post "not noob friendly" answers.
But this one I'm having quite some trouble dealing with it, I can't figure out what's the cause and I'm getting desperate because it happens often (every 2 hours, more or less, it depends), I had a virus last week but I managed to deal with it and eliminate
it, it broke my browsers and lead them to crashing every time I opened them so I removed them and I will install them in the future, hoping they will work again.
Sometimes I have blue screens while playing games or just when browsing or even when my computer is idle. Based on the computer management events, the frequency of the blue screen errors has increased a lot last week, (ranging from 1/month to 3/day).
Here are my system specs if that helps:

Windows didn't create a minidump for any of the errors I had so I went to computer management and I got the xml info on the latest bluescreen.

By the way, my power supply is underpowered for my current system build, I know it sounds like it's the PSU fault, but I always had this PSU and the same system for over 2 years and the Blue Screens didn't have nothing to do with it at first (STOP: DRIVER_IRQL,
etc.. that were easily fixed), and when I push my pc to some limits while playing Crysis 2 or some other graphical intensive game, it shuts down. It is
NOT a bluescreen, just a power failure, I tried with a new PSU and it didn't shut down and I actually beat Crysis 2 while using it without a single shutdown.
I've done all the recommended stuff to fix bluescreens, (Defrag, Disk Check, Full antivirus run, clean up, and so on..) but nothing has worked and I can't do specific fixes to the problem because I don't have any clues on what's causing it.
Sorry for being boring and any grammar erros you might find, and
thanks in advance guys! Oh, and if you have any questions or need any more information, just say what you need! :D

PC W7 64bit ICloud causes blue screen of death - Help?

I installed ICloud control panel, etc., onto my 64-bit Windows 7 PC, and it ran OK for a while. Then got the dreaded "blue screen of death" indicating there was a driver issue and my computer was stopped to avoid damage.
I uninstalled ICloud and the problem went away. Later, I installed ITunes, and decided I needed the ICloud panel, so I reinstalled it. Same thing happened.
I'm doing this because I just got iPhone 4S thru AT&T, and want to interface it with my PC.
Any ideas, or is there already a known problem for PC's?
Thanks.

May sound weird, but are you network drivers up to date? BSOD is usually a driver issue that is conflicting with Windows. Go into device manager and disable all non-essential devices, UPS, NICS, USB, scanner, sound, etc and then install the iCloud panel. If you don't see any BSOD start to enable each device one at a time to pinpoint the culprit. The control panel itself shouldn't be causing the BSOD.
Is there a filename in the top left of the BSOD that can help? i.e. ndis.sys or something?

IMac G4 signs on but shows blue screen...HELP!

I don't know if this is neccessary but it crashed before and replaced the HD with a 160GB HDD and upgraded the RAM to 1.25GB. and i also believe a new logic board was added as well.

I use the latest Firefox 13.0.1. I'm using Windows 7. After a day I updated my Adobe Flash Player, suddenly it crashed and showed a blue screen. Please help me.

My Firefox version is 13.0.1. I'm using Windows 7. Adobe Flash Player version is 11.3.300.265. A few minutes after opened the Firefox, suddenly it crashed and a blue screen showed up, it says there are unexpected error occured and forced my computer to be stopped. I need to restart the computer to see either it still show the blue screen or it just fine. After restarted, I use the Firefox once again, but this time, after about 30 minutes, it crashed again. The same blue screen showed up. As I expected, the new Adobe Flash Update crashes with the Firefox 13.0.1. Really need a solution here. Thank you.

Hi,
Blue screens usually indicate Windows system level problems involving device drivers like graphics card drivers, hardware errors (RAM, hard drive) etc. Malware may also cause this. Searching for the displayed error code would usually provide helpful pointers. The [http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us Windows forum] would also be helpful.

Tips for blue screen (BSOD) errors with Windows Vista and Intel Turbo Memory on T61/T61p

Important note: The symptoms and solutions described below address only a small subset of the possible causes for blue screen errors, aka BSOD. This information can help address blue screen errors specifically related to Turbo Memory, but may not solve errors related to other issues. Please read through the instructions completely, make sure they apply to your system, and after attempting the solutions please post back with your feedback for the community.
Some users may experience random blue screen errors with ThinkPad
systems running Windows Vista with Intel Turbo Memory hardware. These
blue screens may occur during normal usage on the system or they may
occur when booting into Windows Vista. Blue screens related to the
Intel Turbo Memory hardware may reference a stop code of 8086 with
memory address locations of {0, 0, 0, 0}.
There are two main steps that you can take to help resolve blue screen issues related to Intel Turbo Memory.
Step 1: Update Intel Turbo Memory Driver
If the driver version is before version 1.0.1.1004-7.0.3.1001, please
update to this version.
To determine what version of the Intel Turbo Memory driver is installed:
1.    Click Start, then click Control Panel.
2.    Click System and Maintenance.
3.    Click System.
4.    Click Device Manager.
5.    Expand the Storage controllers category.
6.    Double-click Intel Flash Cache Logic Chip.
7.    Click the Driver tab. Then you will see the driver version (for example, 1.0.1.1004).
The new driver and installation instructions can be found here.
Note: The Intel Matrix Storage Driver is updated with this package.
Step 2: BIOS version
If your BIOS version is older than those listed below, please update to the version listed.
How to check your BIOS version:
Turn off the system.
Turn on the system.
While the To interrupt normal startup, press the blue ThinkVantage button message is displayed at the lower-left area of the screen, press the F1 key.
The
BIOS Setup Utility menu will be displayed. If you have set a supervisor
password, the BIOS Setup Utility menu appears after you enter the
password.
Check BIOS Version and Embedded Controller Version.
Turn off the system.
System BIOS versions:
ThinkPad T61/T61p (14.1 inch widescreen with IEEE 1394 model) - BIOS version 1.22 (7LET52WW)
Please
remember that these updates do not solve every possible system blue
screen, but they do resolve several problems related to the Intel Turbo
Memory driver.

Thanks Tim,
I do have my T61p fully up-to-date to the latest drivers and updates (via System Update and the Drivers&Software web page when the former is not that up-to-date).
At the moment the most recurrent problem is this:

which has been longly speculated here:

My other angst is the boot-time chkdsk hang-up problem:
http://forum.thinkpads.com/viewtopic.php?t=52765&highlight=chkdsk
I just wonder if this purely a Vista issue when using NV cache, the disk spinning down at almost exactly 1 hour from the beginning of the chdsk operation seems too much of a coincidence.
This is my T61p configuration:

X60 Tablet SXGA+ primary, Z61p fully loaded workhorse

Dear Tim,
First off, many thanks for the tips for resolving BSOD with Vista + Turbo Memory on X61. I've been suffering from this BSOD for countless times since I bought in my X61 7673-CW9 in April 2008.
Even prior to having the pleasure to visit this wonderful forum, I followed both steps as indicated, and updated my Intel Turbo Memory driver to 1.5.0.1013 and my BIOS to 7NETB4WW (2.14). However, the BSOD recurrs.
For the past two months, I've recovered my system to factory default settings using Rescue and Recovery for over twenty times, each time with the latest Intel Turbo Memory driver and BIOS. Notwithstanding that, BSOD recurrs.
During these painful experiences, I tried two options: 1) making my X61 up-to-date by using System Update and Windows Update (including Vista SP1 or excluding Vista SP1); 2) keeping my X61 the status as factory default (i.e. without updating through either System Update or Windows Update (the automatic/scheduled update function of both is turned off)). In either case, BSOD recurrs.
I'm 100% positive that the BSOD does not arise from any hardware or software/firmware I install. I never install any hardware (e.g. RAM). And, it is not caused by any software/firmware I install: the clear and unequivocal evidence is that at one time,I encountered BSOD while having restored back to factory setting and booting for the first time.
I live in Taiwan, and I seldom heard this BSOD here.  All of my friends (as most of Taiwan residents) using X61 operate in Traditional Chinese environment, whereas I operate in English environment. In Taiwan, when booting for the first time after purchase/recovery, the Windows Vista Business system provides for lanuage choice (Traditional Chinese or English), and, once chosen, the language cannot be altered later on (unless, of course, the system is restored back to factory default settings).
My system specs are the same as the day I purchased it and are listed below (as I'm not sure if my machine type X61 7673-CW9 is applicable outside Taiwan):
Processor: Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU T8300 @ 2.4GHz
Memory: 1.00 G.B.
System: Windows Vista Business (32-bit)
Hard Drive: 160 G.B. @ 7,200 r.p.m.
And, of course, with Intel Turbo Memory 1 G.B.
I contacted the Lenovo support staff here in Taiwan for countless times, but they seem to be clueless. I learned that some friends at this forum downgraded their OS back to Windows XP, but I chose not to. The reason is simple: my purchase price for X61 7673-CW9 includes the Intel Turbo Memory, which cannot function under Windows XP (at least so far).
Therefore, I just wish to share my experience here and perhaps I can get some advice from you and other friends here. Any advice will be tremendously and enormously appreciated.

Radom Reboots and blue screens! Please help!

I just bulit a new system and I am having major problems with it.
Specs First:
Amd Barton 2500 running at stock speeds 1.8 gigs
512 mb of Corsir ram running a stock timmings
200 gig maxtor hd with 8 mb of cache
K72NG mobo using the Nvidia drivers
480 wt Antec ture power PSU
Win Xp Pro no SP installed.
Ok heres the deal. As soon as I got the PC up and running and Xp installed on the HD, I went to nvidias site and downloaded the latest drivers. Installed those and thats it. Things where going ok for a while then I started having random reboots. Even when the system is 100% idle it just goes to a black screen and reboots. Same thing that hitting the reset button would do while in windows. It started happening more and more. I first thought it was my power supply. I was using a 400 wt raidmax at that time, but I checked and it had the specs of a 300 wt psu so I thought that might be the problems. After reading a review of it, they reported having some random reboots with chips that were around 1.8 gigs which is what mine is. So I ordered a 480 wt Antec ture power PSU. I installed that and I still had the same random reboots. So then I ran prime95 to test the memory and cpu. Prime would get a error after about 3 sec. So at this point in time I was thinking it was the memory. Before I tested the memory I reinstalled XP over it's self to save my programs and to see if it was just a bad install. It randomly rebooted like 40 times during the install casuing it to take about 4 hours. Once it was reinstalled the random reboots were still happening, but not as often. I am not getting fatal blue screen errors. They all appear to be memory releated. So at this point I took my pc over to a friends house and swaped out my memory with his. We noticed that XP was reading both of our memory sticks as only 480 mb and not 512. We thouhgt if it read it as anything it should be 524mb. In any case we put in his good, working memory that we knew worked fine. Same things, blue screens and programs having to be shut down due to errors. I am now at the point where I have no idea what it could be. I DO know its not the PSU and Memory sticks. I am also pretty sure the CPU is fine. And yes its cooled fine and the HSF is installed right. So I am lost and really need some help, my pc is total un useable right now. I am going to E3 this week and will have a TON of stuff to do when I get back. Any ideas would be great.I really need to get this fixed ASAP. The only thing I can think of is maybe I have a bad mobo. Or some how my XP install is screwed up. The last thing i will try is installed XP on a new 20 gig hd and seeing if that will run. Anyone here have any ideas on what the problem could be and how to fix it?

"then look to your cooler
the other 32 mb of ram is what bios has allocated to your vga card use by the way "
Ahh yes forgot about the onboard gpu. But dude, it's not my cooler. My temps are fine I know how to install a HSF and I have the best one out there. My CPU is cooled damn good.
"it could still very well be some type of memory errors....try setting fsb @133 and memory at fsb/dram 1.1 all timings manual 6/3/3/2.5.....give it ago....if it works underclocked then it is still memory related."
Even when I swaped out with a diffrent stick of ram that we knew was working? I am not using cheap ram btw, I am using high proformance ram running at stock speeds :( FSB is set at 166 right now, the only setting I changed on the ram was running it at cas 2 instead of the bios default 2.5. I think the timings are underclocked right now, will have to check when I get home from work since I do not rember what I set them to last exactly.

T60 Blue Screen.. Help Please

I just got a used IBM Thinkpad Lenovo T60. It seemed fine when i first started using it. When i tried to listen to music or watch a video though i found out that my sound wasnt working so I tried updating sound drivers and even updating bios. Still I couldnt find out the resolution. After doing a few updates I started to get a blue screen saying that my "Hard Drive Disk isnt connected or cannot find one". So I un-screwed the hard drive compartment and just removed it and put it back into its place. However I still get the blue screen saying that the hard drive isnt recognized. Ive tried booting a windows xp pro disc, but everytime I enter the operating system setup it says that there is no hard drive there so it cannot install.
Specs:
IBM ThinkPad T60
Intel Centrino Duo Core 1.8
1GB DDR2
160GB HDD

Hi and welcome to the forum!
UAA is not needed for SP3. Once downloaded and extracted, the driver needs to be installed from from C:\Drivers\Win\Audio\SETUP.EXE, which I guess you probably aren't doing.
As for XP disc to see your HDD, you are required to change the SATA AHCI mode to Compatibility for the HDD in the BIOS first.
Hope it helps.

Computer Blue Screens (BSOD) Upon Video Download Completion

Every time I try and download a TV Show from the music store, the download will start and finish with no problem but upon completion I see the progress bar at the top of the screen change from the download progress bar to the other (likely file-moving) progress bar and my computer immediately blue screens. Windows gives me the standard "serious error" message at startup, and the error report returns nothing.
I have tried downloading the latest version of iTunes which includes the latest version of Quicktime and the same thing happens. A friend of suggested disabling hyper-threading, so I did that and I still get the same problem.
Does anybody know what the problem might be? Any help I can get would be appreciated. Thanks!

Exactly the same problem - while running FF4 after a minute or two the screen goes black for 10 seconds or so and then I get BSOD mentioning the atikmpag.sys as the culprit. I have the ATI Radeon HD4850 with the 8.831.2.0 driver (installed by Windows Update). There is a newer driver - but I have had problems with Windows 7 32 bit and the ATI drivers constantly so only upgrade when it appears in Windows Update. No problems with the same machine running Windows XP or Ubuntu. I have uninstalled FF4 and gone back to 3.6 as I have no issues with that version of the browser.

Stuck on blank blue screen when booting- HELP!

When I boot up up I get the normal grey screening with spinning pin wheel, but then it goes to a blank blue screen and just hangs there. Tried resetting the PRAM but didn't work, also want to boot from the install cd but I can't the cd drive door to open from the keyboard button.
Help please!

Hold the mouse down during startup to get the drive to open.
Or use the OPTION key to stop at boot selector and do it then.
I would make sure to have a working bootable backup of your drive at all times, and an emergency boot drive/partition.
What might help:
Boot from another drive. Turn off journaling. Repair drive.
Once at Finder desktop, delete the caches folders on your main drive.
/Library/Caches
/System/Library/Caches
/System/Library/Extensions.mkext
If the repair was "successful" and DU is not 100% certain to see and fix all possible errors, for that Disk Warrior or TTPro would be needed.
At the least, repair from current DVD of OS X, or SAFE BOOT, or Single User Mode and run FSCK.
Then do Safe Boot from your main drive.
But do install OS X to another drive to work from.
PRAM only affects settings. If you mean PRAM/NVRAM from cold boot, that would help with corrupt nvram due to hardware changes.
If you have or suspect a corrupt boot drive I would invest in Disk Warrior and/or TechTool Pro/Deluxe to use along with Apple Disk Utility.
