Blue Screen Crash - returning with magnified screen

Somethings up with my G5 PowerPc. Its been working well for ages - but now suddenly it crashes unexpectably [often when using Safari or photoshop]. The curser stops moving, the screen goes blue for about 10 seconds - returns highly magnified - and then stops again, turns blue for a second time and then returns with the original magnification. What's going on ? It can do it again and again and again - and then not for a bit ?
Could it have anything to do with the fact the Mac also keeps looking for a bluetooth mouse - which I don't use as I am a wcom pen user?
Is it dying??
Thanks

Hi timbo656, and a warm welcome to the forums!
Have you blown the dust out of it lately?
Get Temperature Monitor - 4.51 to see if it's heat related...

If you have any temps in the 70°C/160°F range, that's likely it.
Boot off your original G5 Install Disk while holding down Option/alt key to select AHT, then run the extended Apple Hardware Test. Some models have a separate AHT CD.

Full screen playback as with 2nd screen blacked?

I've got two Apple displays hooked up to my G5, and unlike DVD Player, which automatically blacks the second screen when I enter full screen playback, Quicktime leaves the second screen unblacked- I'm hoping I can figure out a way to get Quicktime to black the second screen as with DVD Player? As opposed to simply dimming it (since the syst. prefs don't allow for complete dim-to-black) Any other users notice this as an issue? Obviously not a soul-crushing problem, but is kinda annoying...
Searched for previous posts on this topic, didn't see it posted already, which surprised me. But I don't see any settings in the Quicktime full screen playback settings that might address this.
cheers,
Jack

Holy blackout, Batman! That did the trick- my "Full Screen" options were set to "Fit to Screen" instead of "Fill Screen", and I checked the "Background Color- show on all displays" box. Nice. Thanks much!!!

Cant open firefox on second screen on computer with two screens with two graphics cards.

I have a computer with two screens and two diffrent graphics card. One of them is onboard GC and another one is USB GC. I am running two instances of FF and it works fine with 3.6.20 version. But when I update to the latest version of FF either 5 or 6 this does not work. Even if i try to open one instance of FF on second screen on USB GC , I cant see anything> i have to move it to the main screen to see the FF window and will not work on the extended screen. I am using windows 7 pro 32 bit and the screen resolution is set to 1280x1024 on both the screens.
Can you please help.
Thanks.

Try to disable hardware acceleration.
*Tools > Options > Advanced > General > Browsing: "Use hardware acceleration when available"
If disabling hardware acceleration works then check if there is an update available for your graphics display driver.

Time Machine Crash along with death screen

Ever since I did the 10.5.2 update Time Machine crashes, ejects my hard drive, and I keep getting the gray death screen to restart. I turned off Time Machine but my HD keeps getting ejected and still having the restart issue.
I'm running a Mirror face G4 and have NEVER had a problem before, so this is very irritating.

Hi there,
Thanks for your posting - I followed the links in order to try and find out why my disk image may not be working properly.
I backup my MacBook to an internal slave drive on my G4 using Time Machine. It was working fine for a month but has suddenly given me Kernel Panic so from these posts I assume that to mean a corrupt image. I tried running Disk Warrior on the image. It found a HUGE number of errors. Pretty much every file in the volume was repaired for "Extended Attribute". However, unfortunately Disk Warrior gave the following message:
DiskWarrior has successfully built a new directory for the disk named "Backup of JowieBook." The new directory cannot replace the original directory due to a Mac OS services failure.
Try rebuilding again. If this problem persists, please restart from the DiskWarrior CD and then try rebuilding again.
Hmmm, that not good. I haven't tried restarting from the CD because I don't see much point - the image isn't on the boot drive, it's on a slave. I checked the volume read/write status as suggested and this is the result (abridged):
image-path : /Volumes/Lemon Jelly/JowieBook_0016cbcc5f19.sparsebundle
image-type : sparse bundle disk image
writeable : TRUE
autodiskmount : TRUE
removable : TRUE
image-encrypted : false
So I'm pretty stumped. Shall I just run it again? Here's the chmod status of the volume:
drwxr-xr-x 6 jowie jowie 510 Feb 20 22:30 Backup of JowieBook
I'm not very good with Unix but that looks okay to me... So I'm a bit stumped. Any thoughts?
Thanks!

ITunes 10.2.2.12 crashes system with full screen visualizer

Can't seem to find a useful answer. 1 year old HP Pavillion running Win 7 (fully up to date), Core 2 Quad Q8200, 64-bit, 4Mb L2 cache, 6Gb DDR3, NVIDIA GeForce G210. A few months back I noticed that whenever I had iTunes full screen visualizer running, after about 1/2 hour or so (time varies but seems to play for a while before crapping out) my system would freeze and become completely unresponsive, requiring a hard power-down (keyboard and mouse - dead, monitor displays "no input signal").
I do not have this issue when visualizer isn't running. Also don't see this happening (yet) when visualizer isn't full screen.
My first round with this led me to believe there was a conflict with Windows going idle and iTunes not working with Windows to keep it active. So I disabled my idle times completely and that seemed to resolve it. Was able to listen to hours of playback without issue. Now, this week, it started happening again. Play iTunes, turn on full screen visualizer, after a short while sound will stop, screen will die, system will freeze.
Not interested in rolling back to earlier versions of iTunes. I want iTunes to work properly. I can't use it if it doesn't work.
Ideas on what I should be looking at/for? Video card problem? Temperature problem? ???
I work in IT, but not with hardware, so this is a little outside my area.

update: it's starting to happen much more quickly and frequently - basically all the time now. last time was 43 secs into the first song. I can no longer use the visualizer at all. This is the first real problem I've had with this machine since purchasing it 1/2010.
To clarify a little: my system doesn't go "dead" - if it means anything the indicator lights are blue whereas they're orange when inactive. It's the UI that dies - no signal to the monitor, no sound, no mouse or keyboard input, and no way to move forward without pulling the plug and restarting. Everything seeeems to come back ok when I restart, although I did start having wireless issues yesterday (a 3yr old linksys N). Separate issue or not, not sure.
I'm thinking it's gotta be hardware related, but i've been wrong once before.
Basic out of the box box:

Unlocking screen occasionally returns to home screen

If I lock the iphone or it autolocks while ipod screen is open, occasionally the iphone will return to the home screen after I unlock it. I can see the "zoom out" effect which happens when you press home in an open application. I can't reproduce it consistently but it's annoying.
I'm running the 2.0.2 firmware.

You may want to submit feedback on the iPhone and report it as a bug.
Here is the link: http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphone.html
Make sure you tell them what firmware, what type of iPhone, what app is running when you lock, and how to reproduce.

IPhone5s stuck in recovery mode after lots of times displaying blue screen of death, cannot restore it as iTunes displays error 14 on verification, same time phone crashes again with blue screen.

hi, my iPhone5s is only 3 months old, it has been like a whole month now since it started crashing, displaying the blue screen of death, since yesterday it was in the loop of restart-crash, and now it is stuck in recovery mode after lots of times displaying blue screen.
I cannot restore it as phone continues crashing again with blue screen, when iTunes displays error 14 on verification.
help please, this phone is all the means of communication I have.

It's a hardware problem. That's it. You shouldn't bother yourself with this situation. Just see an AASP.

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. I DO HAVE ANTIVIRUS PROTECTION ON MY PC. ATTEMPED TO REINSTALL I TUNES BUT MAY NOT HAVE DONE IT CORRECTLY. I STILL HAVE THE PROBLEM. THE BLUE SCREEN ONLY HAPPENS WITH I TUNES. I HAVENT MADE ANY RECENT CHANGES TO MY MUSIC- NO DOWNLOADS /UPLOADS. ANY KNOWLEDGE OF THIS SITUATION? THANKS!!

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

Blue screen crash when I try to burn a CD with iTunes

When I make a mix and then try to burn a CD it acts fine
until more than half way through the burn then I get a blue screen crash with "BADPOOLHEADER" at the top. I have upgraded to the latest version and still have the same problem.

Anyone have any thoughts on this?

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.

N500 with Vista blue screen/crash

Hi there, I bought a N500 (5ZG) with Vista Home Basic three months ago, and generally I'm happy. Unfortunately, every now and then, the system crashes with the blue screen coming up. There's no specific reason that I could identify, meaning it happens independent of what software/application I run
I've upgraded to Vista service pack 2 hoping it would sort it out; it didn't. I also have the latest BIOS update from Lenovo. Has anyone any idea what's going on here? Thanks.

Thanks, Harm. It will help in giving the shop some kind of direction because they miss things even though it is their actual job to know these things.
I've felt that it was running hot, they had mentioned re-appling thermal paste to the processor a couple days ago but didn't stress it.
There are 2 different blue screen issues and one is solved:
1. The original irreparable crash which prompted me getting a new HD.
2. The blue screen crash... on the NEW harddrive.... whenever I tried to open Premiere.(which apparently was solved when they re-installed
Windows a 2nd time on my brand new HD because my computer no longer Blue screen crashes when Premiere loads.
Addressing the heat issue could prevent future BSOD crashes and may have prevented the original crash.
Also, does BSOD refer to the irreparable crashes which render your HD useless or ANY crash where a blue screen appears? I have been using BSOD to refer to a complete/total/final HD crash.
I don't smoke but these series of mishaps may get me started.

Blue Screen Crash with CS3

Seems to me I've been through this in the past but don't recall the solution.
After a harddrive failure on my laptop I installed CS3 on my newly installed harddrive.
I then tried to open Premiere, it crashed with a Windows blue screen error message.
Then, I installed the latest CS3 patch and opened Premiere. While the files
were being cached(or whatever it's called) Premiere crashed again, same blue screen.
The blue screen went by pretty quickly, something about must shut down to prevent harm to computer.
Windows XP, intel duo core processor 2.0 GHz, 2GB RAM..same specs ran on with my old harddrive.

Blue Screen Crash with NX6600 AGPx8 with UT2004 only !

Hello.
Recently bought a MSI NX6600 VTD128.
Got my old drivers desinstalled, ans used driver cleaner 3 in safe mode to get rid of all old drivers.
Installed without any problem the very spécific driver/panel 7122 furnished by MSI.
Did some tests with my old games : unreal tournament was running very well.
Chronicles of Riddick was simply fine and playable (at last)
Splinter Cell seemed to behave very correctly.
Had a try with my new toy : unreal tournemanent 2004. Made it patched with latest released patch.
It simply crashes randomly, ingame, during lauching, when trying to reduce the application and so on.
Still encountered no others issues with no other games (NOLF2, ET, UT2003 is simply fine and nevers crashes)
Current software/hardware config :
XP on automatic update since installation.
CPU - Intel P4 2.8 fsb 800.
MB - Asus P4-PE-X, with latest bios and chipset drivers - lan and audio onboard.
2 IDE drives, 1 CD recorder, no other special peripheral installed.
simple 512 MB 400 Ram stick in slot 0.
Is there any hints ou clues to what's happening and how to correct it ??? PLease !

Thank you for your quick response.
Will give more than one try to your suggestions !
Have already tried previous version (6693) of the driver, but it simply ignored the presence of the card.
I'm gonna find that 61.77...
However, new hints :
At reboot windows crash analysis report an unknown driver peripheral error.
Further test with Splinter Cell (bundled) provoked crashes also, with this message from windows crash analysis :
Error Message: STOP 0x000000EA THREAD_STUCK_IN_DEVICE_DRIVER (Q293078)
Since not a englich technician, I don't catch this " also heard about turning off DEP"
what is DEP an acronym for please ?
Thanks in advance !
EDIT : this card is one of the first AGP serie...not a pcie
