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......Help Please

    The beginning of this month I built me a new gaming rig and installed Win 7 HP. Everything was running fine until the 18th. I was simply browsing the internet and all of a sudden my computer froze for a second then went to the BSOD. I saw at the bottom it
    was doing a "memory dump." It did this 3 times the same day when I was just browsing the internet. Got upset, looked around online and saw where people said it could be caused because of software not updated. So I updated what needed to be and went
    on with my day. Well it happened again early this morning. So I decided to look in my event viewer and find out if i could find out what the problem is. I found an error:
    The computer has rebooted from a bugcheck.  The bugcheck was: 0x0000003b (0x00000000c0000005, 0xfffff880113022ec, 0xfffff88008266950, 0x0000000000000000). A dump was saved in: C:\Windows\MEMORY.DMP. Report Id: 072414-16614-01.
    So I decided to call Microsoft and their solution to the problem was "Reinstall Windows! Reinstall Windows!" WHAT!? REINSTALL WINDOWS! It will take me 2 DAYS to get my computer back to the way I want it with all my programs, movies, music. I know
    there is another solution to this problem. I want to know the cause of the BSOD! So I was reading around and saw where people were saying upload the memory dump file to Skydrive and someone will look in it to find a problem. Well I uploaded the .dmp file to
    my Onedrive and I hope and pray someone can read it and help.( https://onedrive.live.com/redir?resid=E4B0911EE97A02C1!107&authkey=!AAR8h7CfZxBp7aw&ithint=file%2cdmp ) I first thought it was a RAM problem since it said it was doing a "memory"
    dump.
    Please help.
    Thank you!

    Hi,
    The attached DMP file is of the SYSTEM_SERVICE_EXCEPTION (3b)
    bug check.
    This indicates that an exception happened while executing a routine that transitions from non-privileged code to privileged code.
    This error has been linked to excessive paged pool usage and may occur due to user-mode graphics drivers crossing over and passing bad data to the kernel code.

    Corsair Link, terribly buggy software with dated device drivers. Uninstall it ASAP! If you're using it to control fans, there are plenty of alternative (and arguably better) 3rd party tools such as SpeedFan.

  • Blue Screen of Death -- Datebook gone, Addressboo​k in danger

    Having some major addressbook/datebook issues with HotSync. I am using a Handspring Visor (the original, old model), Palm Desktop 4.0.1, Windows XP Home. I have not updated any of the hardware/software lately.
    A couple days ago, when I synced my Handspring Visor, I got the dreaded "blue screen of death." I rebooted my computer, and then found that the Palm Desktop program wouldn't load. It gave me an error saying the addressbook database could not be opened. The sync log also gave me a series of messages like this:
    "Some handheld records were not copied to your PC. Your computer may be full or you may have reached the maximum allowed records on the desktop. To correct this situation, delete some records and perform a HotSync operation again." (Below, I've pasted in the full log from the last couple days so you can see exactly what I mean.)
    This morning, I synced the device again, thinking that perhaps the addressbook file had become corrupted and that a sync would clear things up. The answer was ... anything but!
    I was able to get the Palm Desktop software to reopen by renaming "addresss.dat" to "address.dba." However, two major problems:
    1) The addressbook on my computer is totally blank. There are three files in the "Address" folder with these extensions: .aba, .dat, and .bak. All of them are only 1 or 2 KB in size. However, this isn't a total loss because my addresses seem to be intact on my handheld.
    2) My datebook has lost ALL data I've entered since roughly January 2008. All my previous years of calendar entries seem to be unaffected. This is the scary part because my handheld AND my desktop both have this problem. I tried the solution of renaming the datebook.bak file to datebook.dba (and giving the current file a .old suffix), but that did not fix the problem. Both files are 355 KB in size. I've also tried setting up a new users and copying over both these files one at a time, but that didn't fix the problem either.
    Sadly, I was a fool and didn't backup my Palm files after the blue screen of death the other day; I didn't do it until AFTER that second sync this morning where my datebook data got lost.
    Basically, I'm pretty sure I'm screwed about the datebook files. However, I would like to make sure my addressbook doesn't get erased from my handheld. Before my next sync, I feel like I should set the HotSync conduit prefs for addressbook to "Handheld Overwrites Desktop," but I thought I'd get some feedback from y'all before I did that. I am also really curious why I'd lose SOME of my calendar data but not ALL of it? That's the weirdest part to me.
    Many thanks for any help you could provide.

    When you sync the device to Palm desktop a file is created on the first sync with the extension .dat. When you sync the second time the data in the .dat file is copied to the .bak file. The process is cycled in that order. Each time you sync, the files are overwritten. If you sync once and notice the data is gone, don't sync again because the .bak file should have the recoverable data.  
    When you rename the files to recover your data you need to rename the files in the following order. 
    Close Palm Desktop, rename the .dat to .old. Next rename the .bak file to .dat. Reopen palm desktop and see if the data is there.
    Try this and see if you can recover the data.
    Here is a method for saving your data in a seperate location in case you lose data again.
    The best way to preserve your data is to export the data in each category in Palm Desktop to a seperate folder on your PC.
    Create a new folder on your PC somewhere that is convenient. Name it something like Palm Desktop Data. CLick on the link below and follow the instructions on that page for the export procedure.
    http://www.palm.com/cgi-bin/cso_kbURL.cgi?ID=28734
    With the data saved in the folder you created, make a copy of that folder and save to a flash drive, cd-rw or external hard drive. Anytime you make a change in Palm Desktop, export the data that was changed to that folder and save again to the external media.
    With this process you can always import the data back into Palm Desktop anytime you have a problem with the data in Palm Desktop or if your computer/hard drive/device crashes.

  • How to fix the Blue Screen of Death for iPhone 5S?

    I have an iPhone 5S and I never got water on it, dropped it, or inflicted any kind of damage upon it. But one day when I turned it on it kept getting this blue screen and then restarting CONSTANTLY. This is referred to as the Blue Screen of Death (BSOD). Does anyone know how to actually fix this problem besides just restoring the phone (I already tried that.)

    Hi ..
    If you restored the iPhone to factory settings and it still won't startup correctly, make a reservation at a Genius Bar.

  • What is nipalk.sys and why does it give me the Blue Screen of Death?

    Recently I purchased a 6211 USB data acquistion unit.  Everything worked fine until one day Windows Explorer crashed (we all know how rare that kind of event is...).  When I re-booted, I got the Blue Screen of Death, with a message about nipalk.sys being the culprit.  I booted in Safe Mode and re-named this file, and then was able to boot normally and re-install the driver software for the 6211, and everything was fine...for about a week, when Windows Explorer did it again (Oops!). 
    Does anyone know:
        1.  Which exact part of the install supplies nipalk.sys?  It is a huge install with multiple parts accross 2 CDs.  I could save a lot of time if I could restrict the install to just repairing the damage.
        2.  Can I just make a copy of nipalk.sys and tuck it away in some corner of my hard drive to use as a replacement when this happens?
        3.  I'm guessing that nipalk.sys is used by the little system tray icon that watches out for DAQ devices to be plugged into my USB.  Is this guess correct?  Can I turn this feature off for the 99% of the time I'm not using my laptop for data acquisition?  Will that protect me against the gorking of nipalk.sys when Explorer goes down?
        4.  What is this driver doing that its file disk becomes corrupted during a Windows Explorer crash?

    Paul-
    OK.  When I can afford the time, I will try removing all NI software and re-installing.  I have LabVIEW 8.0, DAQmx (of course), NI Vision development, and IMAQ. 
    I also had LabVIEW 7.1 on my machine because it was too much trouble to
    remove it when I upgraded to 8.0  I have since removed 7.1, but I think there are still a lot of older versions of the "extras" that came along with it still lurking on my hard drive....
    I was hoping for some guidance for a short-term "work around:"
    1.  If I just re-install DAQmx, can I make a copy of nipalk.sys and store it somewhere as a back-up to avoid the painfully long 2 CD re-install of DAQmx?
    2.  If the answer to 1 is "no", then exactly what part of DAQmx installs nipalk.sys?  It is a multi-part install, and if I know which part is responsible for nipalk.sys, I can repair just that and save a lot of time.
    To answer your questions about version:  I'm not sure.  I don't have convenient access to the disks at the moment, but they came with my 6211, which I ordered in May of 2007.  I would be tempted to call it "the latest", but DAQmx seems to get updated quite frequently, so let's just call it a "recent" version.
    Thanks,
    -Geoff

  • 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

  • ITunes and the blue screen of death.

    Over about the past week now iTunes has been giving me this error when I try to disconnect/eject my iPod from with in iTunes.
    +"The iPod cannot be ejected because it contains files that are in use by another application."+
    It also will not allow me to eject it from the Safely Remove Hardware function on the task bar.
    When I then try to close down iTunes it gives me the blue screen of death. I have the error code which corresponds with it, and the code is one which mentions Removable Media Devices as the reason for the error.
    I've read a bit about this, and tried a few things. But to no avail.
    I'm going to move all the files off of my iPod and reset the iPod itself when I get home.
    Short of that, is there anything else which may fix this problem?
    Thank You

    One thing to check is if you have any new or previously updated anti virus software.
    It could be trying to scan the ipod while itunes is trying to sync to 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?

  • Why is Encore 6.0 giving me the "blue screen of death" when I try to create a menu?

    When I purchased my student edition 6.0 (which I love by the way), Encore did not have any of the libraries loaded up on it. After reading some discussions, I downloaded the missing folders.
    Now, when I try to create a menu, my computer shuts down and gives me "the blue screen of death" as they call it (a blue screen with white writting, counting up to 100%, and saying Windows is preparing to crash...or something about the hard drive crashing....I can't remember because it goes off the screen so quickly).
    I've done this several times - my computer only does this when I try to create a menu in encore, and not in any other part of encore. It hasn't happened in any of the other programs either (Premiere Pro and Audition are the only other programs I have used so far), or any other times I have my laptop.
    Because of this, I am not too concerned since it seems Encore is the problem. However, I do not want any other problems to escalade from this either.
    Am I doing something wrong? Can someone please help me? I'm working on my Senior Thesis (a video) this year, and I really really cannot afford to have my computer crash on me.
    Please and thank you,

    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.

  • 10.5 Install Brings the Blue Screen of Death

    Hi,
    I could really use some help. I just tried to upgrade from 10.4.11 to 10.5. I'm on a power pc mac (12" G4) with 1.67 GHz. Here's a rundown of what I've done so far.
    1. Upgraded from 10.5 disc - went all the way through, but upon restart, i got the blue screen of death. I could see and move the cursor but nothing else.
    2. Manually shut down. Restarted with installation disc and ran disk utility - no disk errors or permissions errors.
    3. Restarted again with internal drive as startup disk. Again, blue screen of death.
    4. Tried to reset pram (reset-nvram and reset-all). Again, blue screen of death.
    5. Went back to install disc and re-installed 10.5. Again, went through successfully. Upon restart, yet again the blue screen of death. This time, the cursor is the colored spinning wheel. I've let it go overnight in case in needed a little time and it's still there.
    PLEASE HELP! I've backed up everything, but there are a handful of files I neglected to backup. Not life-changing, but would be good to salvage.
    Thanks in advance for any advice you can offer.
    J-

    I did, but didn't find this until today.

    I had already given up on a straight upgrade and instead went for the archive and install option which has worked without a hitch. All is well. Has even resolved my synching woes with my treo. Note that you should make sure you have enough drive space since I'm now down to a paltry 3GB when I once had about 12GB.

  • 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 XP  

    there'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.

    Uninstalled Itunes (tried doing this in safe mode but it wouldnt let me saying you cant do this) and re-installed it but when try to use it (ipod not connected) my screen either freezes a few moments later or the BSOD appears.
    Ive ran a windows disk check and a system mechanic 7 one as well, a few folk on here have said my ipod might need reset but this is happening without the Ipod connected so is still an issue?
    My ipod seems to be working fine, obviously i cant even access itunes to reset it or see its status.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Have you tried this?

  • Iphone 5S crashing after 8.3 update blue screen of death

    I have an iPhone 5S which is 90 days out of warranty.  I updated to 8.3 and the first issue I noticed was my music app.  When I play music it doesn't start off from the last song I played - I have to choose my songs again and restart my shuffled playlist.  Last week out of nowhere my phone crashed but it was at 80% battery.  The screen went black, then blue, then tried to reboot.  It "reset" itself within a few hours.  Next day I accessed the App Store and it crashed again.  It has since crashed several more times using Facebook, email, turning it off...very frustrating.  I brought my phone to VZW and they said it was a software issue.  I then went to the Genius Bar and they said without restoring the phone and reinstalling ios, they have no way of knowing if it's software or hardware.  The phone crashed as the tech was looking at my phone so he excused himself, went to the back and came back with a second opinion  "it's definitely a hardware issue and since you are out of warranty, you'll have to buy a new phone for $549".  WHAT?!?  So wait, you JUST told me that you wouldn't know if it was a hardware issue until the phone was restored so how did you magically surmise this?  Then to tell me there is NOTHING that can be done and if I wanted to restore from a backup, I wouldn't be guaranteed that all of my content would be restored to my phone OR there is a possibility my phone would be wiped clean and not restorable at all.  Nice try and scare tactic.  I left Apple with a phone stuck on the blue screen of death.  I went back to VZW and they said its definitely not a hardware issue and even if it were, Apple is the company to seek, not them - they are just my carrier.  I am so fed up with Apple.  Every update and phone I've had with them has had issues.  I don't know why I continue to be their customer.  If anyone can help I'd appreciate it.

    Sorry, what i wrote was wrong and i can't edit it again now
    Here's what I was actually meant to say,
    Hi
    You could try basic trouble shooting, that's what everyone usually suggests first but it that fails to work then it is a hardware issue.
    Did it start crashing after you installed or or got rid of an app? Oh and has it happened before on any other IOS?
    In my opinion you should email Apple explaining the issue and they might be able to help you or tell you it plain and simple that your phone is broken

  • Blue Screen Of Death When Syncing Ipod

    Hey so if anyone can help me i will love you so much,
    So I have a 20GB fourth generation ipod (old i know) but it works fine, and i have an new HP laptop that i got for christmas and like for a good 2 months everything was fine with itunes and then one time it told me i needed to restore my ipod to factory settings and i was like oh this is annoying but whatever ive done it before so i just did it, but the next time i tried syncing my ipod the BLUE SCREEN OF DEATH came up and that scared me but i thought maybe it was just a one time thing...turns out it wasnt and now every time i try to sync my ipod the blue screen comes up and i have to restart my computer. my itunes otherwise works fine i listen to music on it and add music to itunes perfectly fine just the syncing doesnt work. I also thought maybe it could be my ipod because it is old so i went down to my desktop which has XP and and older version of itunes but it worked completly fine. SOOOOOOOOOOO i have no idea what to do. i dont know tons about computers but im not ******** and can most likely follow directions so if anyone could help me it would be much apreciated because i can not take listening to the god awful radio in the car much longer.

    Have you tried System Restore to go back to before the problem started?
    If that fixes the Blue Screen Of Death issue, then you can try and track down the changes from then to when the problem started.
    Good Luck.
