Blue Screen of Death every approx 20 minutes after upgrading boot camp
** This is a repost from another topic forum-- moving it to correct forum**I upgraded my mac book pro with the recommended updater for Boot Camp 2.1 and quicktime/ITunes. As soon as I did this my computer began to crash with a blue screen of death every 20 minutes or so. It would reboot and say a serious error had occurred and report it to Microsoft. In every other way it was functioning ok, but since it occurred every 20 minutes, I now have erased my boot camp partition and resurrected it from a WinClone file (boy am I glad I backed it up). I've seen a few other people having this problem-- has anyone found a solution? I'm back to boot camp 2.0 and running fine. Amount of ram is 2GB and I'm running service pack 2 of Windows XP professional. Also I have Norton Antivirus on the Windows drive.
Mark
So I backed up my boot camp partition using Winclone and then opened up the MacBook Pro with Windows XP as the operating system. I turned off Norton Antivirus (I thought the more basic system would have less potential interactions with other systems) and downloaded bootcamp 2.1 again. Installed it and then restarted and then turned Norton back on (Norton AV has actually been a pretty stable version from my recent experience). My external keyboard is now connected and so far so good-- the computer has not been giving me the BSOD every 20-30 minutes. I remembered from long ago-- on the mac side-- I was always told to turn off virus software before installing any new software-- maybe that's what it needed? I will continue to update.
I never got a blue screen while downloading updates to windows. I've only gotten BSOD after that initial attempt to install Bootcamp 2.1 with antivirus software turned on. And I'm backed up so I can go back to version 2.0 if necessary.
Mark:)

Blue Screen Of Death One week following a RAM upgrade.
Here are the error codes: Any idea where I should start? (and where I should end) when trying to repair? Thanks for the expertise!
Problem signature:

C:\Windows\Minidump\011114-21730-01.dmp
C:\Users\Nick\AppData\Local\Temp\WER-59779-0.sysdata.xml"It's not a true crash, in the sense that the Blue Screen was initiated only because the combination of video driver and video hardware was being unresponsive, and not because of any synchronous processing exception".
Since Vista, the "Timeout Detection and Recovery" (TDR) components of the OS video subsystem have been capable of doing some truly impressive things to try to recover from issues which would have caused earlier OS's like XP to crash.
As a last resort, the TDR subsystem sends the video driver a "please restart yourself now!" command and waits a few seconds.
If there's no response, the OS concludes that the video driver/hardware combo has truly collapsed in a heap, and it fires off that stop 0x116 BSOD.
If playing with video driver versions hasn't helped, make sure the box is not overheating.
Try removing a side panel and aiming a big mains fan straight at the motherboard and GPU.
Run it like that for a few hours or days - long enough to ascertain whether cooler temperatures make a difference.
If so, it might be as simple as dust buildup and subsequently inadequate cooling.
I would download cpu-z and gpu-z (both free) and keep an eye on the video temps

The one driver verified DMP file was related to your video driver (nvlddmkm.sys). There is a known problem with the december 2013 driver (yours). I would install a much older driver (say 6 months) until a new and less buggy driver is released.

Qosmio x775-3dv80 Blu Ray/DVD burning gets Blue Screen of Death.
I just got a new Qosmio X775 3DV80 laptop.
Tried to burn a Blu Ray movie with DVDfab 8. The process went through all the way till the very end and then I get a blue screen of death every single time. the brief error says IRQ problem. burning DVD gets the same.
a friend as a same model laptop. tried on his with the same result.
So it's not my particular machine!
i installed a copy of Windows 7 Pro on the sencond HD. burning either DVD or Blu Ray with no problem.
it suggests there's a glitch with combo of the original Windows 7 and the Blu Ray drive.
i have not contacted Tosh yet.
Anyone else experience the same???Peter, thanks for your suggestions. I tried so and didn’t work either however. I compared the drivers for the blu ray disk between the preinstalled Windows 7 version and my Windows 7 Pro (works as my first post). The only difference is the former has two drivers: (1) cdrom.sys, and (2) tdcmdpst.sys. (the Windows 7 Pro has only one : cdrom.sys). It seems this model shares the a common problem, but not enough users with the app combo to stir up some waves… Additionally: Between my first post and this one, the screen acted up. It would go black and came back in 2 sec with full brightness. The current app would freeze and brightness control function stopped working. Happened in random and a few times within an hour. Got a replacement from Amazon where I bought it (same blue screen problem on this one, too). Two weeks or so later, the 3D function went out on the new one. Today, the wireless function went south… am I "lucky" or crap on Tosh’s side?

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. -
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. -
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

Recently I rebuilt my PC to handle after effects a little better. I am running CS3 on windows XP 64 bit, however once I start working on a project for less than 30 minutes my system locks up and brings up the blue screen of death. It gives me a "Page_Fault_in_Nonpaged_Area" error. I ran several memory tests (all passed) and even messed with the page filing with no luck.
The strange part is that when I switch over to my dual boot (windows vista 32bit), after effects works fine. Just not as fast. I reformatted twice with no prevail. I am really out of options here. If anyone can please offer some help i would really appreciate it. THANKS
Specs
Graphics Card: Radeon HD 3870
Processor: Intel Core 2 Quad Q9450
Ram: 2 X 2GB = 4GB
Motherboard: Gigabyte S-series Ep45-Ds3RWell, not sure, what actually the error is. If it's a "Could not allocate memory for textures", you could try to increase the RAM usage for OpenGL in AE's preferences (Advanced button on the OpenGL page). However, AE is pretty stubborn in recognizing this, so it may not do anything. For most other errors, you will have to deal with the graphics card driver's settings on a manual basis, meaning you will have to create a custom setup. That is however beyond what this forum can provide, as it would require to know the exact current setup and driver options... What you definitely can do is check the overall video RAM allocation, meaning how much of it is already used in the initial config. This will give you a clue about how much is left for applications. I'd also completely turn off antialiasing. As I remember it, most ATI cards have the bad habit of having it enabled by default. This might also free up resources. The rest is in the dark. There certainly are ways to toy around with the front and back buffers and drawing delays, but as I said - without actually seeing what's going on, this is not going anywhere. And don't worry about your RAM and page file swelling - this is normal behavior and should not touch upon your other issues. Remember: Each and every frame you render, if only for previewing, will be stored in your RAM as long as this is possible. Windows in turn will park more memory pages in the swap file to compensate, hence the simultanous growth of both graphs.

IPOD sync causes Blue Screen of Death
Every time I plug in my IPOD to sync I get a message about Drive x not being present. options are cancel, retry or continue. 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. If I reboot with the IPOD still connected nothing happens. PC will not reboot until IPOD is disconnected.
I'm currently at I-Tunes 10.1.2.17
ThanksAny 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)

Blue Screen of death after BEFW11S4 firmware update.
I just updated my firmware for my BEFW11S4 v.4 router. Now every 5-10 minutes when I am on the internet I will get a blue screen of death containing the error "DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL" I did some searching and really came with no soultion. I just system restored to about a week ago and it did not work. I'm running Windows XP. Any suggestions?
(Edited post for guideline compliance. Thanks!)
Message Edited by JOHNDOE_06 on 07-31-2007 08:16 AMi don't think this is a router issue...i believe it's a hardware issue...this error occured when computer is not getting sufficient memory, drivers are not installed correctly or due to invalid driver installation of any devices installed on the computer...to just isolate the problem try connecting computer directly to the modem and check are you are getting a same error message or not and let me know.

Blue screen of death during start-up
Hey Adobe-Community,
I am having troubles with After Effects CC again. Every time I want to open After-Effects i get a BSOD. The last thing I can see is the opening-loading-thing (talking about that thing just the after effects version of it, logically I cant make a screencap of the AE version). I dont even get anything written in there - no "loading blabla" or "searching this-and-this" and so on - just the empty image without any information. It is like that for about five seconds before my audio starts jamming and I get a Blue Screen of Death.
System Specifications:
Windows 7 Home Edition - 64 Bit
CPU: Intel i5 2520m 2.5 GHz
RAM: 8 GB
Graphics: Intel HD Graphics 3000 and Nvidia GeForce GT 555M (I think I am currently running on the GeForce - does anybody know how I can check which card I am using right now...)
110 GB SSD - 40GB empty
500 GB HDD - 150GB empty
Laptop Screen: 1600x900
External Screen:1920x1080 (always using both screens)
Things I tried already:
Booting in Safe Mode
Result: Same as before - but without the Blue Screen. Just nothing happened. The Start-Up Screen of AE was showing, but again without information for about 5 minutes before I wanted to close it. Task Manager told me that there is no Application running, just a process. So that one didn't work.
Reinstalling After Effects
Same result as before - Blue screen and empty Start-Up-Screen
Reinstalling my Graphics Driver
After a bit of googling around I found some people mentioning that a Blue screen might come from troubles with my Graphics - so I reinstalled the driver from the GeForce. Same Result as before - Blue Screen.
I was able to run After Effects without any troubles just a couple of days ago. I didn't install any Plug-Ins, any new software, I cant even remember a Software update from any other software or anything (besides the Update for After Effects and InDesign from today).
Please, I really don't know what else to do.Provide the crash details from your event viewer:

Blue Screen of Death on a Mac, never thought I'd see it.
This my first Mac product ever. I was hoping to have both Mac and Windows on one machine for convenience, and attempt to use Boot Camp. Everything went smoothly: the partition and installation of Windows (Vista Ultimate 32bit). Then I installed the drivers using the OS X installation disc.
Then, I saw it: the blue screen of death. I have found no solution so far. I really hope someone out there has an answer, because this is really frustrating.UPDATE > -every minute or so ( I haven't timed it ) the screen displays some white writing on a black bacground
two different variants of this have appeared in the first the time/date computer name and :/dev / console operation not supported by device text appeared on the screen in white over a black background.... I entered my admin password , clicked enter ...nothing happened .
Then the black screen returned to blue for a while.
A black screen appeared a second time and said " welcome to Darwin "
then returned to a blue screen
Is there any commands any one might know of that I could input when the text appears that could help find a solution or fix this 'issue '
I would really appreciate it

Toshiba Satellite L755-S5306 Blue Screen of Death BSOD
If you are having “The Blue Screen Of Death” (BSOD) with a Toshiba Satellite L755-S5306 you are not alone. Please leave a comment in hopes enough of us can find each other and come up with a more permanent solution than the work around I present here. As of the day this was posted there was nothing index into Google or Toshiba’s forums regarding a Toshiba Satellite L755-S5306 having a BSOD problem.
Unfortunately I don't have an answer or solution so much as a troubleshooting alternative and that is to install Ubuntu 11+. I would rather use windows7 but the fact that Ubuntu runs without crashes indicates that my problem is a Windows 7 software issue. Windows7 is conflicting with either the hardware within my computer or some pre-installed factory software.
This laptop is new (it has only been out of the box for 3 months), has an i3 processor, 4GB of RAM and is still under warranty; until Sept. 10, 2012. I have yet to contact Toshiba but will. Within the last month (Feb. 2012) I started to get multiple BSODs out of no where. These were the following error messages:
1. KMODE_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED
Caused By Driver : luafv.sys
2. KMODE_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED

I have done all of the following hoping to solve this issue with no luck:
1. Re-formated computer with factory shipped disk. Five Minutes after I did this I got the BSOD. That definitely eliminated the idea that it was something I had installed or that it was a windows update conflict.
2. Got all window updates. That didn’t help.
3. Checked all drivers manually one by one through the device manager for updates; according to the Device Manager there was no updates.
*However, this is the only area of hope that I have. I downloaded the program Drive Max and it list several drivers as outdated. I can only download two a day and install them. After I have them all installed I will report back as to whether or not I have a BSOD.
4. Updated BIOS. Toshiba did have a BIOS update available but the update did not fix my BSOD problems. I have seen on this forum many people have had problems with the BIOS but I have not.
5. Ran window's memory diagnostic tool. It reported no errors.
60 I also ran Ubuntus memory test and passed.
7. Check Disk with no errors
After all those failed attempts I took to the Internet. That is when I ran across a post online where a person stated they had the same problem with a similar Toshiba laptop and switched to Ubuntu. After doing so they had no problems. I did the same and agree I have no issues after one week. So I hope this helps for now. If anyone has this problem or finds a windows based solution please leave a comment.Thank you all for your help.
Since I reformatted every time I have booted up I have turned on the Windows memory diagnostic too. I did this in hopes that if a BSOD occurred it would catch something when it rebooted and today it did after an extended memory test.
I got the standard message, “Hardware problems were detected...Test results will be displayed again after you log on”, however no test results were ever displayed. Does anyone know if there is a way to manually find the results of the test? Also, I ran the test again to see if I could get the results and the second time it said there were no problems detected.
At this point I am suspecting it to be a faulty stick of RAM. Windows 7 utilizes about 1.25GB of ram when booted and Ubuntu 200MB. This very well could be why Ubuntu works without problems.
I have to write a business plan in the next few weeks and cannot send my laptop in until that is done. So I will continue to use Ubuntu until done with my plan and then contact Toshiba. I will post back with any information I get in regards to the problem and once again thank you all for your help. -
Blue Screen of Death When opening iTunes.
I am at a loss. For the past six months I have been trying to figure out why my computer has a blue screen of death and then restarts "nearly" everytime i open iTunes. The "nearly" is what's driving me nuts because every once in a while it will open ONCE and then start crashing again. I don't even do anything to help it open it just miraculously works every now and then. It even craches the comp when starting iTunes in safe mode. The blue screen error says "Page Fault in non-paged area". iTunes worked fine for months before this randomly started happening. I have tried every solution I have seen, even ones that weren't for my problem. So far I have:
Manually uninstalled iTunes and QT and reinstalled the standalone QT then iTunes.
Disabled itunes helper and ipod service before starting.
Disabling all other services and start-up items.
Installed current bios and drivers (as far as I can tell)
Installed current windows installer.
Updated microsoft products including .net
Updated Java runtime environment
Replaced ram
I have a pentium 4 1.6ghz with soyo mobo and a RAID card(mirrior) set-up. 1 gig of pc133 ram. I can ul the minidump if needed.
I figured out how to load my podcasts on my ipod manually but I want to get a video ipod so I need itunes. PLEASE HELP!!
Windows XPthere's a few more things worth checking on. but let's also capture a minidump of the crash and send it to someone who can interpret minidumps.
To set up your machine to capture a minidump, right click on "My Computer", select "Properties", select the "Advanced" tab, select the "Startup and Recovery" Settings button, select "small memory dump" from the popup. When it crashes, look for the MiniDump file. It's usually in the folder "C:\WINDOWS\Minidump" and is called something like Mini<number>-<number>.dmp.
send it to this email address
in the email, put the URL to this discussion thread, so that whoever gets it has some context. Also give as much information about the context of the crash (in the email) as you can.

Blue Screen of death - now can't load Windows (even in safe mode)
Last night laptop (Satellite L500 19Z; Win 7 64 bit) crashed whilst playing CIV4. Got a blue screen of death; before I had chance to read any of the error messages on it the machine rebooted.
It loaded windows in safe mode fine then, and informed me as it had loaded safe mode OK the problem will be related to some recently installed software and I should uninstall programs I'd installed until it would load normally. As it was late last night I shut down and thought I'd sort it in the morning (in retrospect this may have been a mistake ....).
Today, when the machine tries to boot up it attempts a Startup Repair; unfortunately this fails every time and it says "Startup repair has tried several times but still cannot detemine the cause of the problem"
I looked at the log it produces but it passes all the individual tests.
I also can't access the advanced options for system recovery & support, which appears on the Startup Repair dialog box as it demands I be logged in, which apparently I'm not (presumably as the machine never got to the windows login screen before trying the startup repair). The error message reads "you must be logged in to access system recovery options. If you are having trouble logging in please contact your computer administrator for assistance. please click OK to restart the computer."
I've had a go at booting into the various advanced options (safe mode, safe mode with command prompt etc. but the outcome is the same).
I also tried the Repair your Computer option from the advanced boot options screen, but after the screen where it asks you to choose the language and keyboard, I get the same login error mentioned above.
Is there a way to repair or even run the hard disk based windows recovery (haven't got the recovery DVD with me as I'm away from home for a couple weeks) without logging into windows? I would have expected there to be but have yet to figure out how to do it.
(there are no disks in the disk drive, no other devices attached to the laptop - I've tried it with mains power and with the battery and have not noticed any differences)
Thanks
JamesNormaly the reinstall data is on a separate part on your HD, not in Windows.
The register is only used for Windows.
If it doesn't work you can always try to reinstall from a DVD later.
It does mean all your data on C:\ will be gone. If you can hook your HD on an other PC you can try to safe your work with a recover prog.
