You've got some bad hardware, perhaps RAM or a flakey driver. Could also be a bad bios.

  • Audigy 4 gives blue screen during install of drivers on Windows XP SP3

    FAudigy 4 gives blue screen during install of drivers on Windows XP SP3! Specs
    Asus a8n-sli
    GB RAM
    6600 GT
    Audigy 4
    LC Power 550 W PSU
    I put in the installation CD that comes with the card. I want to install everything (full install), and mid-install I get a blue screen.
    I then uninstalled everything and tried only to install the updated drivers from the website in safe-mode and still a blue screen. Should I get the dump file and send it to Creative?
    How do get this card to work like it should? I also have a remote control that came together with the card.
    Im currently using the onboard AC97 Realtek ALC850 soundcard.
    Whats the whole procedure to make this work? Detailed please. How do I eliminate all traces of the audigy on my PC?

    Re: Audigy 4 gives blue screen during install of drivers on Windows XP SP38 Perhaps you'd want to read this old thread of mine about my misadventures with the same exact card you are trying to use. IMHO that card was not worth the time and money I spent on it (even even less the time and money it caused me to spend afterwards to repair the damage it caused.

  • I5 17''MBP  gets blue screen during install windows 7 32 bit

    Hello all:
    I heard that quite many people get classic windows' "blue screen" during using windows , whatever Windows XP, Vista or 7. But now i face the "blue screen" during install Windows 7, which means I even can not complete installation.
    I bought my Macbook Pro i5 17'' one month ago, and I'm trying to install Windows 7 but I face the problem during the installation. After finishing first 4 steps the computer would restart and start to "finish installation", but at this time it gets "blue screen" and shows "error: 0x0000009c" and stuck there. I have to shut down the turn off button and interrupt the installation.
    I don't know if there's any one else face this unlucky situation. I searched on the net and it says the problem could be from memory, graphic card (too new), or even overlocking the cpu,whatever it must be the problem of hardware. I thought it might be the problem of compatible.
    If anyone knows how to deal with this problem??!! I do need to use some software under Windows system!

    It is good to see that it is indeed a USB2.
    The support software on the USB is used in the Pre-boot environment setup and provides drivers for Apple specific hardware, GPU, BT, Mouse, etc. You can verify that by looking at the USB contents. The DVD contains generic drivers when hardware is not recognized as defaults to use. Apple does enough 'secret sauce' to make them different. The following does not explicitly state the USB2 need when using the DVD Installer and mentions W8 (not W7).
    From Boot Camp: Creating an ISO image from a Windows installation DVD - Apple Support
    Insert a blank USB 2 flash drive that is a least 16GB in size into a USB port on the computer. Boot Camp Assistant uses this drive to store the Windows 8 install media and support drivers during installation of Windows.
    Note: This flash drive needs to be formatted for the FAT32 file system and must use the Master Boot Record partitioning scheme. Use Disk Utility to check the format of the flash drive before proceeding, and partition or erase the flash drive if necessary.
    I suspect the GPU is not getting the correct driver and the Installer fails. The Generic VGA should work. From the OS X side, can you see files in your BC volume? If yes, can you look for logs in the BC volume at the following locations.
    ./Windows/Inf/setupapi.dev.log
    ./Windows/Inf/setupapi.offline.log
    ./Windows/Inf/setupapi.setup.log

  • Getting light blue screen during startup for 3-5 Seconds

    I get a light blue screen during start up for about 3-5 seconds. It shows the spinning image for loading, once its done that goes away and then it goes light blue for couple seconds then back to the white page with the apple logo then brings me to the user login page. It also takes longer then usual to start up, load dock and the menu bar. I've read around and it seems people are saying its normal? but this just started happening.

    Which model Macbook Pro do you have?
    It also takes longer then usual to start up, load dock and the menu bar.
    How large is your hard drive and how much hard drive space do you have left?
    Go to your Account/Login Items and get rid of all you do not need.

  • What would cause a prolonged blue screen during start up?

    I have an iMac desktop.  Recently I've had trouble with a prolonged blue screen during start up (approx. 10 mins) before it finally takes me to the login screen.  Any ideas why this is happening?

    Hi Jeff,
    Open console in Applications>Utilities, check the system log for the date/time of the last problem Startup for clues.

    My iMac is frozen on a blue screen during an update of software for snow leopard. What do I do?  Should I turn off the computer?

    do a hard shutdown of the mac (holding down the power button until it shuts off) then do an SMC reset, the following article tells how to do this:

    after doing this reset and restarting the mac, try again to install the update.

  • IPod touch + Software update + Blue screen of death = Broken iPod?

    Hi
    As the title already might explain, i just connected my iPod to my pc to get some apps & movies on it for my boring schooltrip tomorrow. Whilest iTunes was downloading the new software for my iPod, i just was continueing hanging around on the net, when all out of a sudden, my pc get's a nice blue screen of death. First, i didn't care, untill i checked my iPod... It's stuck on the iTunes logo + the cord. When i press any button, it doesn't do anything. When i press the power, it shuts down after few secs.
    I then tried to replug it to the pc to reset it. My pc makes the sound of a usb connection, but nor Windows, nor iTunes finds my iPod.
    Can someone please help me?
    Thx alot!

    I just had my ipod in my pocket and when i got it out to look at a text that i got the screen was white and i couldn't do anything on it so i held both buttons and it shut down and started working again but it did the same thing the other day.... But now it wont shut down or anything. I tried letting the batter go dead on it but it still did the same thing.. i can hear when i get a text and hear to unlock the screen but it stays on a white screen 24/7....what do i do??
    I don't have a warranty so how much would it cost to get it fixed???

  • Itunes crashed too Blue Screen when I connect Ipod to computer

    My Itunes crashes to the Windows blue screen of death whenever I connect my Ipod to Itunes. I have ran tried both the solutions that are posted in the support section of this website, but none of those solutions seemed to work. I have an Ipod Classic and am running the latest version of Itunes (8.02 I think). The error code that comes up in the blue screen is:
    STOP 0x0000007F (0x00000008, 0x80154000, 0x00000000, 0x00000000)
    Any help would be greatly appreciated, as this is quite frustrating.

    Did you follow through all the links on the page?
    You need to give information about exactly what you have tried in order for someone to help you.
    I do not have an iPhone and know nothing about them so I can't give detailed help.
    In general you tend to get BSOD with low level problems such as drivers or hardware issues. Are you up to date with the downloads from computer manufacturer's download site for your model of computer? If you follow the links there are various suggestions about the sorts of things that could cause trouble.
    If you are getting a blue screen stop, it would help if you could post the exact error message. It should be some sort of numbers and text -
    0x(zeros/letters/numbers) (CAPSANDUNDERSCORES)
    For example:
    Stop 0x05 (INVALIDPROCESS_ATTACHATTEMPT)
    Also is a file name mentioned in the error message? If so give the exact file name. This is very important as it may identify the driver causing the trouble.
    if you're not seeing a blue screen (or just a flash of one), you can use this technique to make hidden blue screens appear:
    1) Open your system control panel (Start->Control Panels->System).
    2) Select the "Advanced" tab.
    3) Click the "Settings" button in the "Startup and Recovery" section
    4) Verify that under "System Failure" the "Automatically restart" checkbox is not checked.

  • Blue Screen Error when syncing ipod touch 4g 32gb with i tunes 10 on Vista

    Hi
    I'm trying to sync my ipod touch 4g with my itunes 10 using a Dell XPS with Windows Vista. After the point where the songs begin to copy (around 5 mins to 30 mins into copying) a blue screen error is caused and the computer shuts down automatically. The blue screen error ID is 2057.
    I have scanned for viruses and its clean, tested my hardrive and its all ok, and now been to apple and got a replacement ipod and usb, re-installed i tunes 10 BUT its still happening.
    i'm not sure what to do next ..any suggestions??
    BTW my computer works fine until I try syncing the ipod so it's definitely something related to it.

    Just in case anybody is interested I managed to resolve the problem. Not sure if it was a just a co-incidence but after windows had auto-removed itunes 10, I plugged in the ipod and the computer recognised it as a working piece of hardware, although it actually thought it was a camera (not sure if that's normal).
    Anyway I re-installed itunes10 but kept the ipod plugged into the usb all the time. When itunes had installed, i began the sync and the files copied far more quickly than in previous attempts. They are all on now and the ipod is working fine and no blue screen errors.
    What probably happened is that when windows auto-fixed errors after the last crash(it didn't run an auto-fix after previous crashes), it fixed the error which was crashing itunes10 when syncing. I hope nobody else has this problem and the ipod remains ok.

  • Blue screen when connecting my iPod Classic to Windows7

    Hi!
    I know there are lots of these problems round here, but none of them actually seemed to apply to my situation nor did the advices seem to have helped me.
    Here's the thing:
    A few days ago while synching my iPod Classic with iTunes, it just crashed. I mean it stopped syncing but wouldn't eject. I got angry and just unplugged my iPod (I'm an idiot, I know) . After that, I tried to synch it again but i would just plug it in, click 'sync' and nothing would happen . For less than a second it would sync but nothing would actually happen. I decided to reboot my iPod. That's where real trouble started. After clicking "Reboot..." my laptop just crashed and blue screen popped up. Every time i plug my iPod while iTunes is on, the same thing happens - blue screen. I already checked my drivers, they're all updated.
    Here's what it says when the blue screen pops up:
    Technical information:
    *** STOP: 0x00000034  (0x00000000000000AB6, 0xFFFFFFFFC0000420, 0x0000000000000000, 0x00000000000000000)
    I'm going to the seaside in a couple of days and I desperately need my iPod.
    Would be very grateful for any kind of help and feedback .
    EDIT:
    Oh, I forgot to add. I also checked my laptop's memory, it wouldn't detect any problems. Also, when i plug in my iPhone, everything works just fine.

    Thank you for using the Apple Support Communities
    This seems to be more of an issue with Windows than with iTunes or the iPod. I would suggest scrubbing it for malicious software or seek out a professional.

  • Blue Screen with Text re IPOD size not being valid

    Now everytime I reboot, I get a blue screen full of text about the IPOD size not being valid, and I have to hit the reset button to get out of the loop.
    THEN, when I try to just wipe everything off the IPOD and start over/Restore, I get a message that says IPOD manager internal error.

    With the internal memory error message stopping Update, I went online to see if I could manually download the latest update...or any update. Even a previous version.
    But to do that I have to go back to Itunes 7...The only reason I don't like version 7 is that my Ipod contents disappear from the Itunes source window when the Ipod is not connected to the computer.
    Anyone know of a more reliable mp3 player ?
    Thanks for letting me ramble.

  • 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.
