Blue Screen of Death on New Macbook Pro 13 Inch a blue

My macbook pro 13 Inch is a week old, and so far it has been freezing, with just a blue or yellow screen about twice per day. I'm using an external monitor as well as the laptop screen. I have to re-set (restart) the computer. There is an EFI firmware update available to correct a problem with the 15 and 17 inch versions not responding, but I'm assuming that that isn't appropriate for my 13 inch.
Anyone have any ideas?

I am getting white screen of death on my Macbook Pro, can someone help please?

I am getting white screen of death on my Macbook Pro, can someone help please?

Intermittent or inconsistent situations as you describe are the most difficult to resolve. First step you should do is be certain that you have your data backed up. I suggest that you do this by creating a bootable clone using Carbon Copy Cloner. The advantage to this is that not only is it a backup but can immediately be used to run your MBP in the event of an internal HHD failure.
The article that I gave you to start your search contains a link to this article:
https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3353
Though lengthy, it can resolve most issues if you go through all of the sections. If you cannot achieve success, then an Apple store genius bar is the last option.

New macbook pro 17, gets blue screen after sleeping

Had it for 1 or two months and haven't had any problems. Was just using it and closed it to sleep, and reopened it and it was stuck on the blue screen.
Safe mode won't work. Resetting the PRAM won't work.
What the heck?

Hi,
A flashing question mark appears when you start your Mac
Hopefully something will get your Mac running again.

Wheel of Death on new Macbook Pro

A month ago, I purchased a new 15" i7 macbook pro. Ran like a dream. Last week I purchased and upgraded my ram from 4gb to 8gb from OWC....Also, I purchased and installed Adobe Production Premium CS5. Ever since then...my computer is soooooo slow. I get the colored wheel of death all of the time....when I try to minimize apploications they dont go down to the bar. And today I got the wheel when trying to watch a flash video online....and then a window popped up saying flas player crashed! Anyone have any ideas as to what the heck is going on? I have over 400GB free hard drive space so that can't be the culpret.

Reinstall the old RAM and test. If everything goes back to normal, you have your answer.

Blue screen of death on newer versions of skype (n...

Even the attempt to install 6.21.0.104, Blue screens my laptop. After three blue screens and the following recovery screens, I cannot put this poor laptop through many more of these. There is no reason that Skype should cause a system failure of this kind. (Or possible failure because blue screens are suposedly prevention measures to ya know... prevent damage.) Although its still causing damage.
Tried reinstalling, tried different version, and tried other various things involving other programs and firewall settings. Nothing works.
I am attempting to install an offline installer for 6.14. Hopefully it works and doesn't destroy this laptop.

Yeah I meant to do that part. I was able to instal the older version but attempting to run it has the same blue screen result. I even tried running it in safemode. However, it errors out of skype. Does not provide me with any error codes either, but its better than a blue screen.
I assume that something in the newest version messed up the computer somehow, I just don't have time at this very moment to go search it out and deal with it. Just ridiculous that Skype would mess up that badly.

Frequent Blue Screen of Death on New Computer

I had a computer made by a private company here in Chennai. I searched for Crash Dump and put the results in my DropBox public folder. I hope you can help me solve this problem.
Link to dropbox folder....
https://www.dropbox.com/sh/43zewairw83ku1u/_FYHRlqDBu/Blue%20Screen

These crashes were related to memory corruption (probably caused by a driver).
Please run this test to find which driver is causing the problem.
Driver verifier (for complete directions see our wiki here)
If you are overclocking (pushing the components beyond their design) you should revert to default at least until the crashing is solved. If you don't
know what it is you probably are not overclocking.

Updating AVI Video Drivers results in blue screen of death

Creating a CD in Premiere 9 resulted in the program closing. I was told to update video and sound drivers. First I used the option in Device Manager, then I used DriverUpdate. The computer now frequently gets the "blue screen of death," with reference to an infinite loop because of ATI2DVAG. I want to download the drivers myself after deleting the current drivers. The first field on the ATI site gives me the choice of desktop graphics, notebook graphics, TV tuner graphics, workstation graphics, integrated motherboard, embedded and MAC. I chose DESKTOP. I have Windows XP Professional and I also have Linux installed; my video card is ATI Radeon HD 4250.
In the second field I chose Radeon HD Series. In the third field I chose Radeon HD 4xxx Series PCle. In the fifth field I chose XP 32.
This brings me to a page which has three tabs: Catalyst Software Suite (with one download), Individual Downloads (five downloads) and Optional Downloads (five downloads). I think the first is the one I want. It comes with the warning that Framework 1.1 Service Pack from Microsoft, dated August 30, 2004, must be installed. I have no reason to believe that my service packs are not up-to-date; I have service pack 3.
The Catalyst Software Suite, with the one download, is 11.6. I think I now have 11.2 (I found this in the Catalyst Control Center from the icon on the bottom of my screen). In my Device Manager it says: 8.821.0.0 released January 26, 2011, PCl busl, device5, function 0, internal version 8.821.
It looks as if the program I bought, DriverUpdate, did not install the latest release. I think my best bet is to delete the current driver and install the Catalyst
Software Suite 11.6. Is this the right thing to do?

I agree with John that those driver updater programs can cause more problems than they fix. I gave up on them a long time ago.
But if one of them were giving me the blue screen of death, I'd be very concerned! Blue screens, even on Windows computers, have rarely been seen since the days of Windows ME.
Rather, you'd be best to just manually go to Windows Update and ensure you have even the non-critical updates. That fixes about 99% of your computer. Though occasionally I go to the ATI or nVidia sites manually and get the latest drivers for my video card. And of course I go to Apple.com to ensure I have the latest version of Quicktime, which plays an important role in all PC-based computer editing.
Beyond that, I'd run iobit's excellent, free PC tune-up tool Advanced System Care. It's one of the few tune-up programs I do trust -- and it tunes up everything with just a click or two.
http://www.iobit.com/advancedsystemcareper.html
And if you're STILL having problems, please give us more information about your system and your project.
What operating system are you running? How fast is your processor and how much free, defragmented space is on your C drive?
What kind of camcorder is your video coming from? When you started your Premiere Elements project, which settings did you select?

Blue screen of death - Error message included

I have searched on the forum and found nothing exactly like my situation. I am running Labview 7.1 in a test bay through the NI chassis with an embedded controller. The system basically reads up to 100 RTD, and 224 pressure readings and then writes them to a network computer. Every so often, we get the "blue screen of death" when running the program. Sometimes there are problems with the network computer, so there is am option inside the program to send all the data to the local hardrive. This is basically how we check to see if the problem is related to the network, or if it is the Labview system. However, the network has never been the cause of the blue screen of death(since we have also received the blue screen while writing to the local hardrive). Furthermore, the system only gives the blue screen ever so often, not all the time. The error message is attached, and seems to be memory related. I should also mention that we run two labview program at the same time, one controls a series of valves, and the other displays all the data be recorded the the network computer. After about 10 reboots, as a desperate attempt, we only ran the valve program, and it seemed to work, but it may just be luck. Another attempt was and option in windows(XP) called "paging" which we turned off. Last I know the system was working, but under the above mentioned conditions which will not work for day to day testing.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you

Hey, I recommend backing up all your files manually via USB hardrive and then format your mac's hardrive, here's a link for instructions on how to format your mac's hdd: http://computers.tutsplus.com/tutorials/how-to-format-your-macs-hard-drive--mac- 53986
Also I recommend downloading the latest Mac OS X via the app store. The reason why I've recommended to back up all your files and programs manually and install a clean and new os is because when you put your data on manually, you significantly reduce the chances of the problem happening again and it looks like you have something inside your os that's slowing everything down. You'll also have the latest updates and support if you download the latest mac os x. You should also back up your Mac via time machine as well so you have a image of your OS. I recommend installing a SSD drive inside your MacBook as they make a huge difference in performance, your computer will preform almost instantly, it only takes 7 seconds for your mac to boot into the os and everything else you do is pretty much instantly. They can be a little expensive but they're coming down in price and they're with it! http://www.amazon.co.uk/Crucial-CT480M500SSD1-2-5-inch-480GB-Internal/dp/B00BQ8R HJ2
I've had the same problem before and I hope that helps.
Good luck

New MacBook getting the "Blue Screen of Death" equivalent

So I just snagged a macbook from my school's bookstore.
I've gotten the "you need to restart your computer message" that shows up in 5 languages or so twice already in the first day. i.e. the Mac equivalent of the Windows "Blue Screen of Death". I believe its called a "Fatal Error".
I don't remember what I was trying to do the first time (I /think/ I was attempting to browse my network from the sidebar in Finder), but the second I was trying to get a program called Studiometry (http://www.oranged.net/studiometry/) to connect to my iMac and sync the program's database. I was already connected via Finder (Go >> Connect to Server). When I chose "connect to server" in Studiometry a second after it attempted to connect--Kaboom! I can't get the program to connect, but that doesn't concern me: I'm more worried about keeping this suspect machine.
Other than playing with the pre-installed stuff (iLife, PhotoBooth, etc.) I have:
1. Installed Windows XP SP2 with Boot Camp
2. Used http://www.logmein.com/ to remote in from OS X on my MacBook to Windows Vista Ultimate at work.
3. Installed Studiometry
There is nothing else I have done that doesn't come in the box.
I had a PowerBook give me grief the first week and the bum crashed on me pretty hard. Not interested in that again and I'm thinking of taking this back for a new one. Ugly babies usually get cute in a month or two, but ugly computers typically don't.
Any suggestions?

Ever since I started paying attention to battery power v. adapter, all have occurred on battery power and none while the adapter was plugged in. (The first two I don't know, but all the rest were on battery).
One of them actually happened while I was sending a file using Bluetooth from my iMac (still probably airport though since it was on).
While this is fun and all, I'm taking this bugger back and exchanging for a new one. Apple can have a blast troubleshooting this for a refurb. :P

New MacBook Pro gets stuck on blue start up screen

Hey all. I just got a new MacBook Pro in the past 2 weeks, it had been working fine, but last night I turned it on, it went to the bluish apple screen and did the loading thing, but wouldn't get past it. I let it do this for about 20 mins while I did other things, nothing happened, it wouldnt get to the login screen. All it did is get pretty warm to the touch on the bottom of the computer.
Any ideas?

pstumba,
Welcome to Apple Discussions.
You can try a SMC reset simultaneously hold down the Left shift, Left Contol and Left Option buttons and Power button for a moment. Then restart the computer.
If that still doesn't work, shut down the computer and wait a moment then restart while holding down the Option and D keys which will force the computer to start from the internal drive.
If that still does not work then try inserting the install disc that came with the computer and restart holding down the Option key, then choose the Startup disc when it asks which startup volume to use. You should then see the language choices, choose your language and then from the Utilities Menu choose Disk Utility. In Disk Utility check the S.M.A.R.T. status of the internal drive it should indicate "Verified" if it is OK. If it does not then choose Repair Disk, you may need to run this several times until the drive appears OK. If it still fails then you know your internal drive failed and you have a valid warranty claim. Simply call AppleCare (look in your manual) or make an appointment at the Apple Store you purchased it from to arrange for a repair.
Regards,
Roger

New Battery + New Hard Drive = Blue Screen of Death.

The series of events:
1. Powerbook acts slow, but nothing too frustrating. Until its starts to randomly quit when browsing the internet regardless of browser being used; however, I suffer through a few weeks with this issue.
2. Battery ceases to function one day after warranty ends, Apple Genius feels my pain but still charges for the new battery. I also inquire about the internet browsing issue and he runs some test and concludes that my airport card is failing. I choose to not replace the airport card at that time.
3. I purchase a time capsule and complete the initial backup; however, all further backups fail.
4. I purchase a macbook pro.
5. The day after purchasing the macbook pro, and before I had sufficient time to transfer all needed files from either the powerbook or the time capsule, the powerbook enters into the blue screen of death. The time capsule refuses to recognize the macbook pro as I desperately attempt to save at least a portion of my files.
6. I visit the apple store dragging a small suitcase behind me which holds the powerbook, the macbook pro, and the time capsule. My appointment began at 10:00am. At 8:00pm I left the Apple Store (the geniuses were glad to see me go, 5 of them were required to help me). Upon leaving, all files from the time capsule had been transferred to the macbook pro (at one point the genius said to me "there's a 50/50 chance this will work, if it doesn't you will lose everything" I almost cried) and the powerbook was given the definite diagnosis of a severely corrupt hard drive with the recommendation to replace it. (Sidenote: A different genius tested the airport on the powerbook and said its perfect and does not need to be replaced.)
7. Hard drive replaced in powerbook.
8. Powerbook used successfully to connect to macbook pro and watch a movie on the powerbook with the file based on the macbook pro.
9. Attempted to use powerbook again for the same task. Powerbook connected to macbook pro but wouldn't show any files. I disconnected the two and tried again, this time powerbook would not connect at all...just kept saying "connecting." Attempted to restart powerbook and was greeted with the blue screen of death.
The battery in the powerbook has barely 10 cycles. The new hard drive has nothing on it except what was loaded with leopard and firefox (there is absolutely no user-created content other than the firefox cache which only loaded the welcome page so I could confirm I was connected to the internet). I have not connected it to the time capsule.
I would really like it if the powerbook worked again. Is there a deeper problem with it since it barely worked after putting a new hard drive in? Is there any chance of hope for renewed life?

WiFi Wireless Setup Wizard produces Blue Screen of Death on Officejet Pro 8600 Plus

The wireless setup wizard on my Officejet Pro 8600 Plus is failing immediately after "scanning for networks". I get a blue screen of death with error message B8494B00, followed by "turn printer on and off" with flashing screen.
I bought the printer about one month ago and it has worked perfectly so far. My Apple Time Capsule failed yesterday, so I bought a new one (latest model) and had to set up the wireless network again. When I tried to do so on the printer, I got the error for the first time. Nothing else had changed. Other devices are working with no problems on the new network. The computer is an Apple iMac running OS Mountain Lion.
I have tried turning the printer on and off, disconnecting the power and reconnecting, then turning it on again, but no result. I have restored the wireless to factory settings, but no difference.
Please help.

Right off I have to tell you I do not "speak Mac".
I assume the "Apple Time Capsule" is a name for a network router? A syncing device?
Unless I am mistaken:
You do not need the Wizard to set up the network -- it is pretty software for an HP PC; when it works, it can make things easier. The setup Wizard is not necessary for the process. I should think this is true for the Mac.
=====================================================================================
If you cannot get someone from the Printing group to answer your specific concern,
you may have succes with the following:
The User Guide has pretty good detail on how to set up the networking necessary to get the printer connected to either a PC or Mac environment. Assuming you can get the printer to "Reset network settings" (User Guide, page 222), then you can re-enter the information you require manually. It is a bit tedious, but is may work better than fighting the Wizard.
OfficeJet Pro 8600 User Guide
You may be able to circumvent sone or all of this by reinstalling the Full Feature Software for your printer -- that assumes you are first able to "reset network settings", at least, and get a printout test page to verify that the reset actually worked.
