Blue screen of death - 5.0.1. solve this?

I keep getting the blue screen of death everytime I load my computer (Thanks Apple!). Seems either going back to 4.9 or up to 5.0.1. are my options. So my questions are:
1. Does 5.0.1. solve the blue screen of death problem (which I believe is something to do with my anti-virus software).
2. If I do go back to 4.9 will I lose all my song information like number of times played, stars etc.

hi Mike!
I think i'll give 5.0.1. a try and if I still get the blue screen 4.9 it is.
the standard BSOD problem with 5.0.0 was to do with a conflict with a certain kind of antivirus driver. this post contains the relevant details on how you go about fixing it:

I have a new iPhone 4 and every time I plug it into my laptop I get the "blue screen of death", it didn't do this the first time because I downloaded all my music from iTunes but ever since it has done this. Anybody have any insight?

I have an iPhone 4 and downloaded all my iTunes music to it. Now when I connect it to my laptop I automatically get the "blue screen of death", does anyone have any insight into this problem?

This will happen if you have photos in your camera roll and an out-of-date scanner or webcam driver. See this: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1502

Blue Screen of Death on my iMac? This can't be!

The primary user (my daughter) of our iMac let me know that the screen has been flashing at night for the past few days. Imagine my shock and horror this evening when, after an iTunes failure/freeze-up, a reboot yields only the BSOD, same for a reboot with Command+Option and CommandOptiondelete. Two questions:
1. How do I get the blank disk out of the drive without having the OS running?
2. How do I get the OS running? (clean install is not out of the question, just not desired)
Thanks in advance.

Hi Lou, and welcome to the Discussions!
To get the disk out, hold the Left Mouse button while booting... should eject it.
Try booting with the Shift key held down, that's called safe boot.
Try booting from your Install CD/DVD, after picking your language you'll have access to a Menubar up top, choose Disk Utility and Repair/Verify the HD, then use it to Repair Permissions. If the HD can't be repaired, get back.
If we still don't have it then the Archive and Install feature...

Windows 7 - Memory Dump problem ! Blue screen of death !! HELP

Hey guys,
I have an iMac 27 inch 2011 running Windows 7 home premium 64bit using bootcamp. My computer specs are
I Mac OSX 10.7
CPU - Intel i7 3.4 ghz quad core
RAM - (16 gb )
VIDEO - ATI Radeon HD 2 GB
I installed windows 7 on my imac using bootcamp today. It was working fine until i started installing things and i ran into the blue screen of death saying Memory dump. This message only shows for about 2 seconds and then restarts my computer. It randomly happens, such as internet explorer or just on my homescreen.
Thanks in advance for you help.
Thank you

To locate any of the forums click the Apple Support Communities link in the upper left of this page, then type in the first word of what you're looking for.
As for returning the machine no, I suspect you just have an installation problem. Macs run MS Windows in Boot Camp better than most dedicated Windows boxes.

Every time I connect my Iphone 4 to my Dell laptop I get a 'blue screen of death' any ideas how to solve this?

For some reason, my iphone 4, and laptop don't seem to like each other. Every time I try and connect it, I get a 'blue screen of death' saying that my laptop is shutting down to prevent damage. Help?

Sean,
Is there anything else you can tell us about the computer and phone?
- Is this a new problem? Happening since new iTunes? Has it previously worked fine in the past?
- How old is the laptop? What kind is it? What is the memory capacity? How much room left on Hard Drive?
- Do you have any other iOS devices to test out this problem with?
Another question: What are you trying to connect it to your computer for? Apple has made it quite easy to do essentially anything for you over the air. Just a thought.

Error 13 = Blue Screen of Death?

Thought I'd try this board and see if anyone knows anything about 'error 13' and Panther.
I have been plagued by this error message which pops up whenever I try to print from either of my printers or burn a CD. This all happened after I tried to load a demo version of Adobe Illustrator CS2.
Over the last day I have tried the following:
* deleted the apple.com.print preferences
* reset the PRAM
* unplugged, unpowered and restarted the printers and their USB connections
* deleted the printers from the print setup utility and tried to reinstall them (but there too I get the 'error 13' message. Printers won't load but they do show up as if they loaded. Just won't work, that's all.
* tried logging in as a new user, and then the printer message is "Not enough RAM" to print.
* repaired the disk permissions from the CD
Generally I've done everything I can think of... except to reload the OS, which I hesitate to do because I have to first load Jaguar, then the Panther update, then the other updates. Last time I tried that things didn't quite work out.
I do have an external backup drive, which also got corrupted as I tried loading the Adobe Illustrator CS2 on that disk too. Dumb I know...
So... anyone know what 'error 13' means?
Is 'error 13' the Mac equivalent of the Windows Blue Screen of Death?
Thanks for any input...

Hello Pawel,
I have looked over the service request you mentioned about acquiring 2 PCIe-6537 at 20MHz sampling rate on all 32 lines. In order to narrow down this issue, I think it would be best to try only acquire from both cards without doing any triggerring etc. Also when performing this test, I would only want to acquire from 8 channels on both cards to see if this reproduces it. If this works, we can slowly add more elements to narrow down what the issue is and make us more effective to solve the problem.
I also wanted to ask if you have tried this setup on another machine and if it worked.
Along with this, have you tried to create two Digital Tasks in MAX and try to acquire for the same amount of time to see if the issue reoccurs here? This would tell us if this problem is connected to the driver/computer or LabVIEW.

X200 Tablet - Wacom Pen Blue Screen of Death on Windows 7

Hello...hopefully someone can help & point me in the right direction...I have a Lenovo x200 tablet PC (Stylus Only Version) - and recently installed Windows 7 Professional (64bit)
The OS install went perfectly...Once installed, I did all the Systems Updates for Windows 7, including all the updates for Lenovo using System Update 4.01.....However, I have an issue that I cannot seem to figure out...
PROBLEM # 1
The biggest issue I now face is, whenever I put the Digitized Pen next to the Tablet Screen within 2 seconds I get the 'Blue Screen of Death'....and it automatically Reboots....This ONLY happens when I touch the Pen to the screen....
I uninstalled the 'Wacom Drivers' - within the Device Manager, which i assume were installed by the system update(s)....After, uninstalling the issue of the 'Blue Screen' from happening when the pen touches the screen is gone.....However, I have no way of being able to use the Pen...it does not show any cursor or inking....Is there a specific DRIVER that I should be installing on my own to make this work properly - without getting the 'Blue Screen of Death' each time?....I really need some guidance on this issue.
PROBLEM # 2
My Second issue, which is suddenly occured after day 2 of installing updates is the Lenovo System Update 4.01 -- Suddenly, after working on day 1 - now, whenever i try to 'Check New Updates' i get a popup that says "An error was detected with the Package catalog for your system on the System Update Server. Please contact the Support Center".
I called techical support on the phone - and they made it seem like this was not their problem and they could not help me...The odd thing is, that this was working before, and now all of sudden it doesnt work...
If someone can please advise me on what to do, especially with the Pen Driver problem, I would greatly appreciate it....Thanks!

**FIXED IT** TWICE!
I've been messing with this on multiple machines at my school.
I was getting the BSOD, "no tablet installed" all that good stuff.
I installed this, that and the other thing.
After testing another machine, I read something in the BSOD that caught my attention.
It mentions resetting the cache of the BIOS. I wasn't sure what that meant, or how to do it.
But I was able to get into the BIOS (F1 on the Lenovo splash screen) and I just tapped F9 (load default Bios options -paraphrasing) Then I hit ESC- it prompts to save the settings, agree and let the computer continue to boot.
I was able to test the Pen at the login screen. Just repeated this process on another X200 computer and it worked again.
Try it.
Good luck!

Same problem everyone else is having with Blue screen of death

Only I have a dell dimension e521 brand new computer have had for about 3 months now and my ipod worked fine until today. I plug it in the usb port and in about 5 minutes my computer will go to the blue screen of death. If I unplug the ipod I can work on my computer with no problems but the 5 minutes after plugging in the ipod the computer goes to BSOD. I am also working off of Windows Vista. Any fixes you can think of will be greatly appreciated. I saw other people where having similar problems but I didn't see anyone working off a dell.
Thanks!

Well I've tried PRETTY MUCH all of the suggested solutions. I really don't feel like going out and buying another SCI card for my laptop only to find out it doesn't fix the problem. Yes, I'm on a Dell Inspiron 4150 laptop, running XP and connecting the iPod through the USB port on the SCI card (it's a dual card, which also has a firewire port).
I also don't feel like going through the hassle of buying a firewire cable only to find out that it doesn't fix anything either.
I spent a good hour on the phone with Apple tech support and got nowhere. She had me uninstalling, re-installing, re-booting, running msconfig, turning off Norton, setting the iPod in "disk mode", uninstalling and reinstalling some more, etc. and in the end nothing made a difference!
I can get the Updater to recognize the iPod, but when I click the "restore" button I keep getting that "can't mount iPod" error. (And I know for a fact that Windows is installed on the C Drive, so that can't be the problem.)
This is so frustrating. The tech support lady said if the last thing didn't work (which it didn't) then to call them back and they would continue to try and figure out how to solve the problem.
It really shouldn't be this complicated, should it? Why don't they make an iPod that is pre-formatted for use with a PC??

Blue screen of Death - Windows Vista

Hello,
My HP Pavillion has died - or maybe is just dying. I forced a shutdown yesterday because it froze completely. Now, it will not restart. When I start it, it gives me the black screen where it "scans" everything because it found some "fatal error" (drama queen much?) and then gives me my sign in screen, I sign in, and then I get a BLUE SCREEN where it informs me it is shutting down again (without even asking how I feel about it. HOW RUDE.)
Anyway, it shuts off, turns itself back on (goodness knows I'M not doing it) and then - the black screen checks my disc space again, sign in screen, blue screen, shuts down - you get the point ,it's an endless cycle.
Oh also, my keyboard is not working. The mousepad works, although only to move the cursor (I can't actually click on anything, which as of this morning, makes even signing in impossible.)
Is there any hope?
Thank you.

HI leetasee,
Sorry to hear about the Blue Screen of Death (BSOD) that you are getting. What is the error message that you are getting with the BSOD? A BSOD can either be caused by software or hardware. Let's see if you can check the computer for hardware failures using the HP Diagnostic Tools. Below I have included a link on how to use the tools. You can use them from the boot menu, run the System Test – Extensive.
Testing Hardware Failures Windows Vista:
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?cc=us&dlc=en&docname=c01443317&lc=en&jumpid=reg_r1002_us...
Something else to try is see if you can boot into safe mode.
Start your computer in safe mode:

ITunes 9.2 causes fatal error and "blue screen of death"

I installed Itunes 9.2 this morning and whenever I tried accessing this version of Itunes, my system hangs and showed me the infamous “blue screen of death”. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling Itunes but nothing seems to work.
Anyone encountering this problem and is there any way to solve this? Thanks!

I was using v9.1.1.12 and could not synch my iphone with outlook although with other versions there was no problem so was keen to install the new version of iTunes yesterday (9.2.0.61). Installation went fine, iTunes opened up perfectly and read my music library and hey presto synched my phone with outlook. I was well pleased. Closed down itunes and went back to working A couple of hours later as my secretary had updated my calendar I plugged in my iphone and itunes started to open then.... disaster. The blue screen appeared.
I restarted again, and again and again and the same thing happens everytime iTunes was opened (independently or when plugging my iphone in). Tried 4 times.
I did a repair using itunes installer. No change stilled blue screened when opened. I then had the bright idea of uninstalling iTunes totally and reinstalling. No change - itunes begins to open then causes blue screen.
The next step I uninstalled itunes. Did a disk defrag and then thought I would reinstall version 9.1.1.12 and install the newer version over the top. But hey you have guessed it, the older version would not open because the library it was using had been created with a newer version i.e. v9.2.0.61 - nice one iTunes!!
So at the moment I have no iTunes at all so am stuffed. So, iTunes solves one problem but creates another. Do they ever check these things???
Help!!

The file system may be corrupted. To fix it, you need to run CHKDSK on C: Drive.
If you cant boot into Safe Mode to run CHKDSK, or if the Recovery Console wont load, you may need to connect the HDD to another PC using a USB Adapter, so you can run CHKDSK on it.
Also test the Hard Disk for errors by using DFT.
DFT Download: http://www.hitachigst.com/hdd/support/download.htm#DFT
Download the ISO File and burn it to a CD-R Disc (There is also a Floppy Disk version if that's easier).
If you dont know how to burn an ISO file, read this guide: http://www.petri.co.il/how_to_write_iso_files_to_cd.htm
Restart your laptop and boot from the DFT Disc.
Choose the "Advanced" Test and let it run (it may take an hour or so).
If you see a red message box, the HDD is faulty.
An error od 0x70 means there are bad sectors and the HDD needs replacing.

HP probook 4720 graphics Blue screen of death

I have an HP probook 4720s (Product #: WT238EA#ACQ). I have upgraded my RAM to 6GB.
My problem. The other day I was busy playing a game when the computer froze and then turned off while it was turning off a small blue screen briefly appeared. I restarted the laptop and everything seemed fine, I left the computer for a few minutes and when I came back the screen was completely off but the computer was operating as normal. No key press or anything would put the screen back on.
Everytime after this event that I tried to put the laptop on it would start(HHD spin, CPU fan work, HDD light would blink for a bit then stop but the screen would stay completely black with no blue backlight). I tried hard reset and a number of other things like checking if the RAM was connected properly and still the screen remained off.
I decided to connect the laptop to an external monitor and I finally could display on the monitor but it still would not display on the laptop screen. After the windows emblem loaded the dreaded blue screen of death would appear with a STOP error 0x00000116 which after some looking up appears to be the graphics driver. After safe starting the system and rolling back the graphics driver to standard VGA adapter the windows 7 system was then able to start in normal mode. I've tried reinstalling the HD 5470 graphics driver but the blue screen of death continues to appear. I have completely reloaded the OS to no avail.
I disconnected the laptops screen from the motherboard without the graphics driver loaded, which didn't cause a beep but displayed on the external monitor when I connected it. I tried the same with the graphic driver loaded, still no beeps were heard and when I connected the external monitor the blue screen appeared.
From the tests I had tried, I believe that there must be an issue with the graphics card itself as the Blue screen of death only displays when the graphics card driver is loaded.
Could you please advise on what you feel I should do, Some assistance with this matter would be much appreciated. I appolagize for the long message.
Regards,
Byron

Two PCIe-6537 read error and blue screen of death

Hi all
I am reading two PCIe-6537 at 20MHz sample rate acquiring all 32 lines each with externally supplied clock and external trigger.
When operating separately, no problem, but when two are read I get
a) on average of 25% of time error reading the data (time out error but happening before the actually time set by timeout, i.e. immediately after trigger) and
b) a blue screen of death after 1h or so of constant operation.
I have a feeling a) and b) are related and LV causes the system crash with so many errors. NI support seems to think otherwise.
I am using Dell Studio XPS 8100 and I have done all the firmware updates for the Chipsets etc. It has
not changed anything.
Changing single line to whole port reading does not change anything.
Any ideas what to try else?

Hello Pawel,
I have looked over the service request you mentioned about acquiring 2 PCIe-6537 at 20MHz sampling rate on all 32 lines.

Blue Screen of Death - DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_THAN_OR_EQUAL (SynTP.sys) Satellite P55-A5200

I am running Windows 8.1 Pro.
Frequently over the last several days, when I wake my computer from sleep, I get the blue screen of death with error DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_THAN_OR_EQUAL (SynTP.sys) which forces a restart.
Because of the SynTP.sys error, I have updated the track pad driver several times, using the latest driver from Toshiba (Syanptics 17.0.10.1 2013-09-24) and have alternatively used the recommended drive from Windows 8.1 (Synaptics 17.0.8.21 dated 2013/08/23). Neither driver helped.
I have reinstalled Windows 8.1 Pro amongst other attempted soluntions.
I now have removed all Synaptics drivers and am running the Generic Windows PS/2 driver. Interestingly, since this installtion, I have not had the blue screen.
Any thoughts would be appreciated.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

This error appears to be caused by the Synaptics SMB Touchpad Driver 17.0.10.1 and/or 17.0.8.
I rolled back the driver to version 16.4.20 and have not had a problem since.
