If this is your first time you've seen this stop error screen, 
restart your computer. If this screen appears again follow 
these steps: 
Check to make sure any new hardware or software is properly installed. 
If this is a new installation, ask your hardware or software manufacturer 
for any Windows updates you might need.
If problems continue, disable or remove any newly installed hardware 
or software. Disable BIOS memory options such as caching or shadowing. 
If you need to use safe mode to remove or disable components, restart 
your computer, press F8 to select advanced startup options, and then 
select Safe mode.

I would just like to follow up on deusexmachina's solution and explain how to delete that file without booting from the drive.
Boot from a Windows 7 disc/USB and after it loads press SHIFT+F10 to bring up the command line.  From here, you can navigate to the "C:\Windows\System32\codeintegrity\" directory and delete the "bootcat.cache" file and reboot.
If you do not have Windows 7 bootable media to boot from then you can download the ISO from here and burn to a disc or use a USB drive:
http://www.mydigitallife.info/official-windows-7-s​p1-iso-from-digital-river/
Another option would be to pull the physical drive from the computer and access it using another desktop or laptop to manually delete the "bootcat.cache" file as well.
Afterwards, please upgrade to Service Pack 1, so this issue cannot repeat itself.

  • Desktop Software causes blue screen of death upon sync attempt

    I've had this problem off and on (mostly on) since upgrade to version 6.0 bundle 2647 of the desktop software.  The desktop software starts up normally.  Upon connecting the device (Torch 9800) one of the following occurs:
    1.  The screen on the device flashes with the connection graphic, then computer goes BSOD.
    2.  The device is recognized, asks for my password in DTS, put in password, looks as if synch process is about to start, then computer goes BSOD.
    3.  The device is recognized, password entered, sync proceeds normally.
    I get the BSOD about 75% of the time, which means I'm scared to sync very often ... which is a huge problem.  When I do attempt to sync, I've learned the hard way to save all data, shut down all programs, and cross my fingers.  
    My computer is HP TouchSmart tx2, AMD Turion X2, running Vista - 64.  I have no problems with any other applications.
    I've looked on other forums, tried checking for upgrades, patches, etc.  After being a loyal BB proponent since the early days, I'm about ready to leave the reservation.  I can't tolerate having RIM products jacking up my computer (which I use to make a living).
    If anybody can help me out, point me in the right direction, I certainly appreciate it.
    Thanks!

    Any option just produces the message again for approx. 3 tries then my entire system goes to Blue Screen of Death and starts dumping memory.
    Just in case you're still around, bubba ...
    What text and numerical codes are you getting on the blue screen? If it's mentioning a specific filename too, let us know what that is too.
    For example:
    STOP 0x00000023 (0x000f00b5, 0xfc4af978, 0xfc4af7b4, 0xfeff4a6b)

  • 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?

  • Ipod + itunes = blue screen of death & reboot - HELP PLEASE!

    I'll try to make a long story as short as possible here.
    i've had a 40G ipod for over a year and a half now. back in the beginning things were working fine. with the size i hadn't done any syncing for a long long time. however, the ipod crapped out so i got a replacement from the apple store.
    after registering the new ipod i was having trouble syncing. it would upload a few hundred songs and then freeze or cause a reboot. i uninstalled the ipod software as well, installed the latest itunes software - over the previous version, installed the latest ipod updater software and restored the ipod.
    again, i was able to sync for brief periods in 3 different tries - amassing a whole six hundred and something songs. after each try itunes said syncing was complete (but not even close - had just over 2000 mp3s looking to sync up). unbelievably things got worse. now, if the ipod is docked and itunes is running - regardless of which is done first - my pc will get the blue screen of death and reboot itself.
    also, without itunes and the ipod docked, it shows up as an i: drive, but when i try to browse it though my computer, it locks up the machine and shows nothing.
    any help out there is GREATLY appreciated!
    here are my specs:
    - ipod 40 Gig, with click wheel and four buttons below the screen with
    dock & firewire cable
    - pc running windows xp pro
    - firewire card with 3 ports
    - ipod & itunes software located on 120G c: drive
    - mp3 collection located on secondary 160G d: drive
    - 3/4 gig of ram
    p.s. i have mcafee running and i've tried everything with it on as well as off. doesn't seem to make a difference.
    also, i have checked a TON of posts on apple.com as well as other discussion groups and couldn't find an answer.

    hi Douglas!
    first promise me that you'll back up your data. having your PC shut down in non-standard ways (for
    b any
    reason) increases your risk of file corruption and putting scruffy spots on your hard drive.
    Now some basic first aid. download some fresh definitions and do some vigorous virus and spyware scans. run your favorite hard-disk checking utility. do a disk cleanup.
    now let's follow up on the blue screen of death. Perversely, i've started to become pleased when people report BSODs under these circumstances. we can wring a lot of information from a BSOD error message. there's also usually something concrete to go on in the error logs.
    (1) what BSOD error number and message are you getting? here's a reference:
    http://aumha.org/win5/kbestop.htm
    (2) squeeze your error logs for all they're worth. right-click on "My Computer", select manage. click on your event viewer. click on your application and system logs, and look for errors and warnings happening at roughly the same time as your crashes.
    click on the relevant warnings to see if you can find any commonalities in the errors/warnings. follow up the Help and Support links to see if you can find any suggested "User action" or relevant MS KB documents. (sometimes these things are there, sometimes they aren't.)
    good luck! keep us posted.

  • Blue screen of death? I just updated my MacBook Air with the latest OX (25 Jun 11). When I restart - I get the Apple logo and then a blue screen and nothing else. Help!!!

    Blue screen of death? I just updated my MacBook Air with the latest OX (25 Jun 11). When I restart - I get the Apple logo and then a blue screen and nothing else. Help!!!

    Insert the install disk and press c on startup. Select your langauge then, if there's a menubar click utilities then click Disk Utility. If you didn't see the menubar continue with the installer until you see it.
    Once in disk utitly select the drive and repair permissions.
    After the repair is done, quit the utiltiy.
    You can try to reboot and see if it works if you reboot, but if it doesn't repeat the same as before again.
    Now you can continue with the installer and install the os.

  • Blue screen of death of hp desktop p6212f error 0x34

    I was resetting my PC and had a power outage during recovery (with a surge protector hookup).
    It says problem detected and shut down windows to protect pc. Cache_manager
    Error 0x34
    HPs excellent customer support said it would be fixed if I purchase a recovery disk after a long time of harassing warranty offer. So I purchased recovery disk. It did not work. The blue screen of death says to possibly disable caching and shadowing in advanced mode through f8. I can not enter my profile. Each startup goes to blue screen. How do I disable caching or shadowing memory option. Is there any other option that doesn't consist of being taxed by HP which upsetting. I going for my bachors in IT, however, this one has me stumped. Please help.
    Stop error 0x34

    Not sure if this will actually help:
    http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_7-system/windows-7-random-blue-screen-error...
    If you can not install from recovery disks, I would start to think about hardware problems. Get the hard disk manufacturer's drive certification iso image and make a boot disk and test the hard drive and use the disk to fully erase the drive before another attempted install.  Use memtest86 over night to test the memory. Make sure all your fans are spinning and especially check the one on the video card and CPU.  Check the video card and mother board for bulging, rounded or leaking capacitors.

  • Blue screen of death with HDD Hardware Test error on iMac HELP!!

    My iMac is not starting up.  It just get the blue screen of death during startup.  It is a 2.66 mghz duo with 2gb 800 ram.  I was able to get the Hardware test to run and got an error of 4M0T/2/40000004: HDD-1560.  I am assuming it is an error with the internal hard drive since I have nothing else hooked up to the mac other than the keyboard and mouse right now.  Does this code mean my hard drive is completely shot?  Any help would be appreciated.

    4M0T/2/40000004: HDD-1560.  
    Either failing or failed   
    You can have Apple replace the drive at a nearby Apple store or an Apple certified repair shop.

  • BLUE SCREEN OF DEATH (the wondows one)seriusly need help.

    okay, well the storry goes like this, i'm on my way home on a subway, when all of a sudden my ipod gets VERY laggy, then just freezes, i try everything i can for a while, but it refuses to do anything. I get home, plug it into my pc, it says the ipod had been ****** up, it needs to be restored, i say "deal" it gets restored......and nothing happens...
    i unplug the ipod, plug it back in, it says it needs to be restored again ...follow the procedure, now a bit confused.
    Then (as the website says " third time's the charm") i connect my ipod, i get the icon in bottom right of my pc showing that there is something connected, and supposedly it's an ipod, however nothing shows up at my computer, or itunes.
    then give it a minute or two, my computer flashes with the windows infamous blue screen of death waits a second, and restarts.
    is there a way to solve this ? , i can't even SEE my ipod ...
      Windows XP Pro  

    ough, i've tried resetting it, but that did nothing
    ...(the menu and center key) and the blue screen of
    death only happens when ipod is connected, my pc runs
    fine and stabel without the ipod...
    is there a way to reformat the ipod without
    connecting it to a pc ?
    may be i could connect to macs at school and format
    it there ?
    Well, if you really want to reformat your iPod Hard Drive, I don't know if there's a way to do it without hooking it up to a computer.
    Nevertheless, you can always try these steps on your PC. If this still doesn't work, try your friends' PC but make sure no iTunes software is installed... In your PC's case do these:
    1. uninstall iTunes (it then asks to restart PC)
    2. after restarting plug in your iPod to a usb port
    3. after windows recognizes the iPod, open My Computer
    4. look for the drive letter that refers to your iPod
    5. right click on it and click reformat
    6. once formatting is done right click on that drive letter again and click eject.
    7. wait for the "do not disconnect" warning on your iPod to disappear then remove usb connection
    You can then restore or update the iPod software by reinstalling and using iTunes.
    I personally haven't reformatted my iPod yet but I did try doing steps 1 - 5 without actually clicking "format" in my other PC. Just give it a run and hope it will work. Good luck.

  • Blue Screen of Death when syncing with iTunes. Please HELP!

    I have noticed a few others experiencing this problem as well.
    http://www.everythingiphone.com/forum/windows-pc-and-iphone/blue-screen-error-wh en-i-plug-the-phone-into-my-xp-laptop-3038.html
    Aside from the (don't use windows XP comments), does anyone have any information on this? I have emailed Apple a couple times but have gotten no answer back yet.
    What is happening is that when I plug in my iphone to itunes a "Digital Still Camera" pops up in the system tray and then blue screen of death appears. Some people have said that all you have to do is delete all your photos and it will sync, but does anyone have any other suggestions without having to delete all my photos anytime I want to sync?
    Thanks for the help in advance.

    The first response was correct, the computer (xps 1210) used a logitech camera driver that I did not recognize so I deleted it. The software was still active and crashed the computer. Fix was reinstall logitech software and driver. Updating the driver would have probably worked. Thank you!

  • JDeveloper 10.1.3.3.0.3 Blue Screen of Death on Windows 7 64-bit

    Hi,
    I am using JDeveloper 10.1.3.3.0.3 on a Windows 7 (64-bit) machine. Whenever I try and use the PgUp or PgDn keys or even use the main vertical scrollbar it produces a Blue Screen of Death. Saying the Video Scheduler has encountered an unexpected error.
    Has anyone else had this issue and is there a fix?
    Thanks
    Martin

    Kind of old this version, but I cab run the 10.1.3.3 version on my win7 64bit system withotu a problem. Only thing I changed was the theme (not sure which one as I don't have access to the pc right now).
    Can be a problem with your hardware. Check if there are newer version of graphic drivers availabe.

  • 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.

  • Persistent blue screen of death problems on Toshiba laptop pc; need help

    hey, guys,
     I was hoping you could help me out here.  I have been experiencing persistent blue screen of death problems on my Toshiba laptop since December 21 of 2014.  The first two times I started having theses persistent issues, I downloaded a bunch of redundant programs and games onto my computer, some of which were virus infected.  I had these programs on my computer for a while before my laptop was taken in for repairs.  I eventually uninstalled some unnecesssary programs from my pc, hoping it would have fixed these issues, even tried windows update.  I didn't have a clue that my problems were due to virus infections/malware until the two most recent times my computer was taken in for repairs; I had always been thinking it was a defective driver.  My laptop has already been in for repairs at least twice due to these perpetual BSOD problems; I had Norton Internet Security installed on my pc before the Geek Squad team (who repaired my computer and found 312 traces of malware in my system during the virus test; I was told by them that I had mistakenly downloaded infected web browsers onto my pc) switched me to Webroot SecureAnywhere (they said it was better at detecting viruses/malware than my NIS), but even after my pc has been through repairs twice in a row, I am still experiencing blue screens (this only seems to have happened once each week, and on one occasion, I went through almost two weeks without it occurring).  I am pretty sure, that I haven't downloaded anything onto my computer infected with viruses/malware (each of the scans done by my Webroot antivirus have found nothing), I have only a few games/apps installed on my pc, and what I downloaded all came from Microsoft's official website.  I can't afford to be wasting any more money on repairs, and I am desperately searching for any possible way to fix this myself.  Any help would be appreciated.  I have a copy of two of the memory dumps from my most recent crashes (I also have the dump reports from my most recent crashes dating back to March 6; I got these from an app from NirSort called Blue Screen View, if you need those)  I also have my system specs:
    http://1drv.ms/1I6AsaE
    http://1drv.ms/1Qdsb7T
     Note that many of these earler dump reports (the ones from March) came from viruses.  The ones from most recently as last month, I am not sure about.

    Thrashing about this way gets us nowhere.
    Best to restore the hard disk to its original out-of-the-box contents.
       Settings > Change PC settings > Update and recovery tab > Recovery tab > Remove everything and reinstall Windows
    Use the freshly restored machine for a day or so before any installations of hardware, software, or updates of any kind. If you get no crashes, the problem is not likely due to hardware.
    Then add updates and other things slowly, keeping track of them. If you get crashes after that, give us the corresponding dmp files.

  • Adobe Bridge CS4 causes Blue Screen of Death! Help?

    Can anyone help?
    I keep getting a Blue Screen of Death every so often when I am using Adobe Bridge CS4 and another program, either Photoshop or Bryce or Cinema4D.
    When I have been working in the other program for a while and attempt to return to Bridge, the instant I click on the bridge icon in the low taskbar, the PC blue screens and everything dies instantly with no time to read the blue screen or to take a photo of it, never mind do anything useful like save the file I was working on.
    I have winXP Pro and an NVidia Ge Force 8800 GTS graphics card. (both are up to date)
    I recently got the Adobe updates but there wasn't one for Bridge.
    Buckets full of memory: 289GB free on the C drive and I store most (work) things on my F drive which is a terrabyte with 315 gigs free.
    Um.... dunno what else to say.
    Except:  HELP!!!

    Well, I don't find that the magnifying glass ability is all that much help to me as often what you see in that magnified area is too blurry to be of any use - my eyes aren't wonderful with small things (including small text - I therefore have the text on all the machines I use set to quite large, browser included) so I like large thumbnails too, and usually I find that the big thumbnails are sufficient for me to find what I want.
    So that's not been the cause of my BSOD.
    By the way what's "ralentize"?  Is it like "pixilate"?
    On the BSOD - it sounds to me that there can be more than one cause in Bridge of the BSOD, so it sounds as if Bridge CS4 - is just not stable, period.
    The fact that Bridge in CS3 and CS2 worked just fine is a good indicator of this, (to me anyway) as most people seem to be saying so.
    I wouldn't like to rely on NVidia's next update fixing this, as I've already updated NVidia once since this began and it didn't help, I now hear that there's now another update out for the NVidia Ge Force 8800 GTS (which is what I have in my PC), so I will be updating that when I get back, but as the last update didn't fix it, I doubt if this one will either, I think it's something that Adobe will have to sort out, but I doubt if they will.
    So it looks like those of us with that graphics card are just left without being able to use Bridge properly - if at all.
    I've given up on it on my PC and so I'm refusing to use it on my Laptop either, since it would be silly to get so used to it that I can't work without it.
    I have tried using Irfanview, but it's functionalitly is comparably limited.  So I'm looking out for something else.
    I don't at the moment have PhotoshopCS4 on the laptop and as I left the box with the program in it in my room at Uni I can't install it on the laptop with its different Graphics card (although still an NVidia it's a Ge Force Go 6800, not the 8800 Gts), until I get back next week... not that I really want to, if it's just going to crash the laptop like it does the PC.
    I do have Corel's Paintshop Pro Photo X2 on here, but I don't use it anything like as much as I do Photoshop, but at least the Bridge or Browser (they call it "Organiser") on that doesn't kill the entire computer, although it does take up room on the screen instead of opening as a whole new window.
    Also PaintShopPro does not save an inferior version of the image when saving as BMP, which I've noticed does now happen with Photoshop CS4 (when comparing .psd or pspimage with bmp).
    emirkill,
    I will also try the "enable software rendering" when I get back, that you've used, in case that helps.

  • Blue Screen of Death before it even let's me install... Please Help!!!!

    I have never attempted to use Boot Camp before and have always been a Mac OS X purist but I finally broke down today and bought XP professional to run a few select programs. I printed out the instructions, partitioned my disk, inserted the XP Professional SP2 disc, and then rebooted from the CD. Remember I've never installed Windows on anything before so I wasn't sure what to expect. Well, it went to a Windows Setup blue screen and went through a process of loading several things and then it says it is starting up Windows... Then I get the blue screen of death everytime! It's driving me crazy! Windows is not cheap and I want it to work? Am I missing a step or doing something wrong? I never even see the formatting screen that the instructions say I should see! Please someone help me!

    There is a step somewhere around pages 11-13 in the bootcamp install guide that mentions reformatting the partition. Did you do that?
    If you have any non-standard/non-Apple hardware attached, disconnect it before installing windows.
