Blue screen crash and computer reboots

We have a PowerMac G4 Mirror Door with dual 1.42 processors running Leopard OSX that has started to suddenly go to a blue screen, log out, and then restart to the desktop. It might do this 3 times in a row, and then will work for a while, and then restart again.
We have tried resetting the PRAM to get this back to original settings, but the computer continues to randomly log out and restart.
Any ideas on how to fix this problem would be greatly appreciated!

Boot off your Apple Hardware Test Disc , then run the extended Apple Hardware Test. Your model would have a separate AHT CD.
Here's the list and downloads for AHT for some G4 models if you don't find yours, some G4s only have it on the Original Install Disc...

Might try Memtest OS X...

Get Temperature Monitor to see if it's heat related...

And/or iStat Pro...

If you have any temps in the 70°C/160°F range with everything running, that's likely it.

Ideapad S206: Blue screen crashes and weird noise

Hi guys,
Since Xmas I have had an Ideapad S206. I'm having problems with it and am not sure what is causing them.
The machine frequently crashes - I've seen the Blue Screen of Death at least once a week, sometimes several times a day. I'm never doing much with the machine - just online, and with a few programs open (word processing mainly) and iTunes.
Sometimes, it crashes without me doing anything at all - I leave the room, come back 5 minutes later and tells me there has been a blue screen crash.
Several times, when the blue screen comes up, it makes a terrible noise like a pneumatic drill/piledriver. I've never heard a laptop make a noise like it.
Can anyone advise what the problem is? Should I contact Lenovo and try and send the machine back for a refund? (It's over its 30 day warranty.)
Thanks in advance.

can you share the error code here?
Cheers and regards,

Blue screen crash and reboot!

The first day I got my iPhone 4 my iPhone flashed a blue screen then rebooted twice in the same day, I then did a complete restore...
Today, 6 days latter my iPhone 4 again just showed a blue screen then rebooted...
Has this happened to anyone else? Is the blue screen just the 'new way' to crash?
Is my iPhone faulty?

I have the same message on black screen topic as it varies....
I once got this, the first day i used my iphone 4. But it restarted and have not had the issue till today.
Now i get the blue/black screen of death on my iphone4 frequently, under a period of 4 hours I've got it approximately 10 times. No I'm not exaggerating 10 times give or take a few.
I'm restoring it, got it three times in the middle of restoring. I've had one successful restore today, i hope the one i'm dong at the moment of writing this will be successful.
I will try to restore it as a new one. But I'm afraid it's the A4 built in memory that is the root cause.
As when it restarts or starts i quite often get a distorted apple logo. Not always but very often. This leads me to believe that its a memory issue and hardware. It runs 4.0.2.
Any experience of similar problems out there. Tomorrow i take it to a Apple concept store but i want input.

Blue Screen Crash on computer after updating Storm software

My software ran fine , but after updating my Blackberry software, my system give me the blue screen of death. The specific error is a multible Ir request. My system crashed three to four times per day. This went on for at least 8 months. Due to a virus issue I reinstalled windows XP and all of my software. Due to previous issues I did not reinstall Blackberry Software until two weeks after rebuilding my system, during this time I had no issues. I reinstalled From the CD then updated on the web to the current version. Within 2 hours of install the same Blue screen odf death returned. I am running on a Dell Latitude D820. All computer updates are current. All drivers are new after install. Clean install is only two weeks old. Anti virus installed. Thanks For any help.

On your re-install for the Windows software are you are you keeping all of your previous backups? It could the BB Desktop Software databases and registry that is corrupt. Try to re-install the Windows software and install BB DS from scratch without using previous databases. If you install on another PC using your same disk is it giving any problems?

Tecra A2 - Blue screen crashes and restarts

I have a Toshiba Tecra A2 Laptop. Every now and then it will show a blue screen and crash. It mentions something about a "memory error" or "physical dump" something along those lines. I have used the recovery tool and formatted everything, and not installed anything new, I still get these random crashes. What could be the problem? No new drivers have been installed either, just the normal recovery software. Please help! Thanks

Hi
As far as I know sometimes the blue screen appears because of serious software error or a hardware malfunction. In your case it could be a memory modules fault. In my opinion you should check your memory modules and if its necessary you should replaced it.

Repeated blue screen crash when running labview 8.2 on Dell optiplex GX620

Hi, I have recently experienced a series of 'blue screen' crashes on a Dell Optiplex GX620 while running Labview 8.2. The dell is running Windows XP SP2 with an ATI Radeon X600 graphics card. Labview is interfacing with a NI DAQPad 6015 device. The computer is a dedicated Labview machine so there is no other third party software that has been installed that could be causing the problem. Also, the computer is one of three identical machines, the only one that has labview installed and the only one that is crashing. Upon rebooting after the first 'blue screen' crash an error report indicated that there was a problem with the ATI graphics driver and suggested updating the driver to the latest version. This was done. Upon rebooting after the second 'blue screen' crash an error report indicated that there was a problem with the RAM. Both of these crashes occurred while running a labview application. A further two incidents have occurred where the computer has restarted for no apparent reason while running a labview application. I was wondering if you were aware of any known issues/incompatibilities with my specific machine and labview 8.2, or if there could be any other known issues with labview that might be causing the crashes. It should also be noted that this is a new setup and these crashes have occurred in relatively short time frame. Thanks for your help!

Hi,
To have a better understanding of what is causing the blue screen crash and the Windows restart, we may need to retrieve the memory dump caused by the crash in Windows XP. Before we actually get into that, we may need to disable Automatic Reboot by Windows when it crashes. I have attached a link that describes how to disable computer reboot after a crash and I have also attached a link of how to retreive the memory dump. Let me know how it goes!

How Can I Create a Kernel Memory Dump When Windows Crashes?

Blue screen crash when hooking up iPhone

I have had my iPhone for a few months now and have only been able to hook up my phone to my husband's (far inferior) laptop. Whenever I hook my phone up to my Sony Vaio desktop I get a blue screen crash and the whole system starts rebooting. Does anyone else have this problem and what can I do about it? I called Apple support and after reinstalling iTunes they said they didn't know. They said it might be a driver issue but I don't really want to start removing random drivers as I don't want to lose functionality of my computer and I don't know which driver might be causing this...
PLEASE HELP ME!!

Which USB port are you connecting to on the Vaio, what else is connected to USB, and have you checked Sony's site for updated USB root drivers?

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, crashes, freezes after ios 7.1 iphone 5s

I've been using iphone 5s 64gb A1530 starting December 2013 without any problems. But after updating to 7.1 I faced blue screen crashes and freezes.
Few sort of problems:
1. blue screen appears then goes to gray and iphone falls asleep.
2. blue screen appears then restarts then blue screen then restarts and loops until I will be successful with soft reset.
I've been googling a lot for this problem and the solutions I tried didn't help:
1. I switched of iCloud data copy.
2. I restored from backup iCloud.
3. I restored from backup iTunes.
4. I restored as factory (unfortunately it still comes with 7.1)
Nothing did help. Could you please give me advise how I can downgrade back to 7.0.6 or 7.0.5? Such resets are really annoying (over 20 times per day)
In diagnosis part from Preferences I have a lot of kernel reports. If there is any way to heal my iphone or it's time to trash it?

Finally Apple replaced the device with the new one. Service guy in Apple store tried to recover it from DFU mode but failed.
I got no idea what ios7.1 brought to my iphone that after 4 months of normal usage it became a blue screen piece of metal. And maybe another app or virus crashed the hardware.

I HAVE A SONY VAIO WITH WINDOWS VISTA- SUDDENLY I'M GETTING A BLUE SCREEN (crash dump)THAT SHUTS DOWN MY COMPUTER. HOW DO I STOP THIS. ALREADY TRIED TO UNINSTALL AND RE INSTALL. MAY NOT HAVE DONE IT CORRECTLY ?

LAST WEEK STARTED GETTING A BLUE SCREEN (CRASH DUMP) AFTER CLOSING I TUNES, THAT CAUSES MY COMPUTER TO SHUTDOWN. IVE BEEN TOLD BY A PC REPAIR SHOP THAT I DONT HAVE A VIRUS.

Hey Ishland,
You are not alone. I'm getting the same thing I'm running Vista. I'm reading that Windows 8, 8.1 preview, Vista and XP.
I'm thinking this has to be a Apple update to iTunes 11.0.4.4 fix.
Cheers,
Steve

Every time I have tried to install firefox 6.0, it has blue screen crashed my system - can you help?

I am using an old computer but it has dual processors and 4 gb of ram. I am using Windows XP home edition, sp2 atm. I have a Galaxy 200 vid card, sound-blaster X-Fi, Gigabyte mother board. Atm, all I have is IE 6.
After the blue screen crash, I had trouble rebooting my computer. When I was able to reboot, the firefox 6.0 would not run and I could not uninstall it. I did a restore system and was finally able to uninstall it - at the time I still had the 5.0 installer on my desktop so I installed it- I don't have it now.
I tried the firefox 6.0 before I had gotten all the updates for sp3- as I have had trouble getting the last windows updates to install.
I am not a techie - what I have done is trial and error to try to get my software to work. I would either like to get a working version of firefox 6.0 or a safe download of firefox 4.0 as that worked and I had no problems with it.
Can you assist?

Can you attach a screenshot or link to the instructions you are following?
You are on the 3.6 release and Firefox 7.0.1 is out. You can download and install the latest release from http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/new/ if you would like to update now. The 3.6 version will be maintained for a while longer, but you should update when you can.

Blue screen crash reinstalling quicktime on notebook

Can anyone help? for a month and a half I have been trying to reinstall quicktime and itunes on my toshiba window xp laptop. Everytime I get a blue screen crash at the end of the quicktime install around where it says something like initializing quicktime types. When I submit this error to microsoft the report says it is due to Antivirus software, I am running Window onecare live. I have tried every fix I can find out there including removing onecare and I still get the crash. I really do not care to rebuild the system. Please help, I am getting tired of the music on my ipod! Thx

I have been having this "problem" since running a QuickTime update in January 2007. I've spent countless hours de-installing anti-virus software, minimizing my hardware footprint (removing printers, scanners, etc.), detoxing my system with Microsoft Uninstallers, Registry Cleaners, and running Windows XP in a minimized manner.
On Thursday April 10, 2008 I spent four hours on the telephone with a competent, qualified Microsoft XP engineer (plus an XP supervisor in the background). Microsoft was very diligent and completely hospitable working with me to resolve this issue. In the end, Microsoft recommended I talk with Apple directly.
On Friday April 11, 2008 I spent one hour with an Apple engineer. Once again, the customer service was excellent, but the results are the same. Microsoft and Apple engineers are "Befuddled". We've tried eliminating all Apple software from my PC via files and the registry, rebooting, and then attempting a fresh install. The PC reboots when "Initializing Quicktime Types" is displayed towards the end of the installation process.
We've even set up a new user and attempted to install Quicktime on a USER with no associated "software overhead". No success.
I've tried the Quicktime Only install, and Quicktime with Itunes installation. Same results. I am taking my PC to Baybrook Mall (Friendswood, Texas) on April 20 for the MAC Genius Bar people to review this problem on my PC. My expectations are very low... since I'm usually much more PC and XP competent than most people. My background occupation is Information Technology from 1975 to date. I evened owned and operated computer stores with "New Build" and "Repair" shops. I'm very seasoned working on PC's and associated software, and this is the first problem where I join the "Befuddled".
If anyone has a solution for this problem, please contact me and make a posting for everyone else.
Thanx.

3 Dead Pixels after Blue Screen crash, should I make another Genius Bar appointment?

Ok, so yesterday I made a GB appointment, after a friend told me to, when I showed him that I had a dead pixel on my phone's screen. So when I got to apple, I showed them the dead pixel and they told me they were going to replace the screen on the phone. It turned out that the machine they use to do so, was down, so they ended up giving me a replacement phone. So I checked it out at the store and it looked fine. So now today, while running some errands, my new replacement iPhone had crashed and turned blue, then rebooted on me & a few moments after when I got back on the phone and was imessaging, I noticed 3 dead pixels instantly (one on right under the names of the contact on the message, on the J key on the board and to the middle-right where your send messages are displayed)
Now I'm thinking that, because my originally iPhone had crashed and turned blue also and I noticed the one dead pixel on it that same day, that the blue screen crashing could possibly be causing this??
Should I go back to the apple store and tell them what happened?

(Update) the pixels actually all seem to be red, whenever I go on a yellow screen and I just noticed a fourth one. I think I should take my phone in

Clicking on firefox icon causes blue screen crash

This began Friday, Feb. 25, about mid day. The only changes to the system that morning were an update to an Adobe plugin, either Flash player or Shockwave, I'm not sure, and an update to the Scottrade Elite desktop trading app. Both of those changes occurred about 0900. The problems began about 1130 when the system, Windows 7 Home Premium had a blue screen crash. From that time on, I have uninstalled each of the apps mentioned. I cannot open Firefox to work on the plugins becuase every time I click on the icon I get a blue screen crash with the words "Page fault in non paged area" at the top. I've also uninstalled and reinstalled the Firefox app with no apparent beneficial effect. The Scottrade trading app has been reinstalled and works well, causing no further probs.

Hello mrcart,
i think it is unlikely that firefox itself is causing an operating system crash, i had some time back an similar issue where a system of a friend of mine was crashing while using IE - thats the only app he used ... the system in his case had faulty ram, and i suspect you are facing some sort of hardware problem or faulty device driver.
Please read this (also lists steps what you can do):
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc957625.aspx
(personally) I would suggest you start by checking your ram, you can do this in two ways:
Search in your Windows 7 Start Menu for "ram", you should find something like "Diagnose your computer´s memory problems"
... Or, you use the memtest86+ tool from here (e.g. download the iso, burn it and boot from the cd):
http://www.memtest.org/
Check your eventlog for errors (e.g. disk errors, timeouts, etc).
If you cannot track the problem down (i would suspect a hardware problem or faulty device driver ... e.g. it could be your video card driver doing something wrong) you should seek help at your computer manufacturer, an experienced friend, or using some forum.
kind regards,
John Kirk.
