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.

A Blue Screen of Death With My 3rd. GEN Pods

I hope someone has the patience to help
me out with a Pod-related question; your assistance would be immeasurable.
In 2003 I purchased both a 30-GIG and a 20-GIG i-Pod,
both of course with the functions located just below the
screen, not on the scroll wheel (I think both models
are 3rd Gen. Pods).
In 2005 I bought a 60-GIG i-Pod with photo and have
since relegated the 20 and 30-GIG models to
non-use.
At this current juncture, though, I am within 20 or so
songs of having filled up my 60-GIG with songs and,
rather than spend more $$ n the new 80-GIG model (I
have an external hard drive that has stored more than
90% of my tunes), I would like to restore either the
20-or 30-GIG models and place new songs on it/them.
The problem: After taking the 20-GIG out of mothballs
and fully charging it at a i-Pod dock connected to a portable speaker system last weekend (Altec Lansing), I then placed it on the dock connected to my computer. After almost a minute, my screen turned blue and a statement appeared: Your computer is being shut down to prevent serious damage to your system, or something to that effect.
Being the trooper, I restarted my computer and then proceeded to try my fortunes with the 30-GIG
(same process for charging as mentioned above), and
once more, upon its being placed on the computer dock,
I got the same "blue screen of death" and same
warning.
In both cases, I had to restart my computer and to of
course, remove the Pods from the dock.
The blue screen contained this information:
"Page fault-in; nonpaged area; .0x00000050 ntfs.sys. If problem continues, disable/remove any newly installed hardware/ software."
Does anyone know why my computer is resistant to the
earlier model Pods but not to either an i-Pod MIni
that I got from a friend over this summer or to my
60-GIGer? It is the same computer I used to load the
songs that currently exist on these two early models
(Windows XP has replaced Windows 2000, if that means
anything). The computer is a Compaq Presario.
Again, my sincere thanks for taking the time to read
and reply.

Have you tried to connect your iPod with other computer? Does it has the same problem?
] Windows users having trouble with their iPods should locate a Mac user. In many cases when an iPod won't show up on a PC that it will show up on the Mac. Then it can be restored. When the PC user returns to his computer the iPod will be recognized by the PC, reformatted for the PC, and usable again. By the way, it works in reverse too. A Mac user often can get his iPod back by connecting it to a PC and restoring it.
Tips
a. It does not matter whether the format is completed or not, the key is to erase (or partly) the corrupted firmware files on the Hard Drive of the iPod. After that, when the iPod re-connected with a computer, it will be recognized as an fresh external hard drive, it will show up on the iTunes 7.
b. It is not a difficult issue for a Mac user to find a window base computer, for a PC user, if they can’t find any Mac user, they can go to a nearest Apple Shop for a favor.
c. You may need to switch around the PC and Mac, try to do several attempts between “Format” and “Restore”

IPOD causes "Blue Screen of Death" with physical memory dump

Plugged in the IPOD into USB port on computer. It shows "found USB device" and then 5-10 seconds later I get the blue screen of death and a notification that there is a driver error and a physical memory dump as occurred.
Spent two hours with Apple people and Dell people this morning and nothing. I have updated drivers, flashed my bios, uninstalled and then reinstalled the latest version of Itunes.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

what numerical and text codes are you getting with it? (ie 0x[zeros/letters/numbers] CAPSANDUNDERSCORES)
if the blue screen mentions a specific file, let us know what that is called too. (exact spelling, please.)
here's a reference on the sorts of things i'm asking about:
Troubleshooting Windows Stop Messages
if you're just seeing a flash of a blue screen, we can use this technique to make hidden blue screens appear for us:
1) Open your system control panel (Start->Control Panels->System).
2) Select the "Advanced" tab.
3) Click the "Startup and Recover" section's "Settings" button
4) Verify that under "System Failure" the "Automatically restart" checkbox is not checked.

Blue Screen of Death with XP and E1000

I am getting the blue screen of death on my Thinkpad running XP and wireless G with E1000 router. I have narrowed it down to issues with my wireless connection, but am wondering if I setup the router incorrectly. Any suggestions?

My XP ThinkPad didn't quite get to that blue-screen point, but it was no fun. The driver update mentioned previously is important (I updated both wired and wireless drivers at the same time) as is fully updating/patching XP.
Access Connections was causing me more trouble than it was worth, so I uninstalled that.
I think those were the three crucial steps (on the computer side anyway) that finally got things working.

Blue Screen of Death with v.8 upgrade. Please help!!!

I tried upgrading to itunes v.8, but got blue screen of death. I've tried several times, with the same result. I tried suggestion on here...I went to itunes.exe and changed compatability to XP, but when I click it, it says there is a problem that needs to be repaired in Programs & Features...when I go to Programs & Features, itunes isn't even listed. Please help, we have 3 ipod devices that we can't update now.

UPDATE: I have found and installed v.7.7...seemed to install OK. Wouldn't run though. Went into Programs & Features and did repair...said it was successful, but still won't run. I am SO stuck!

Blue Screen of Death with Nano 2nd gen

We just got a 2nd gen Nano 8GB for xmas and everytime we connect it to our PC it gives the Blue Screen of Death and then reboots. The codes it gives with the BSOD are as follows:
Stop: 0x00000050 (0xfffffff0, 0x00000000, 0x8044e86f, 0x00000000)

Beginning dump of Physical Memory
Operating system is Win2k and it does this regardless of iTunes being installed on the computer or not. I have another older PC running Win2k Server and the iPod is recognized on that PC but iTunes won't load on that PC for some reason (I'm thinking it's not compatible with Win2k server?) I'm not sure if the PC that gives the BSOD has USB2.0 on it if that matters. My other MP3 player (ZenMicro Photo) works fine on the same USB port I'm using to plug the iPod into.
Any help is appreciated

If the iPod is working on your gf's laptop then it's not (likely) the iPod. That blue screen you are getting is a Windows issue. Do you have warranty support still active on your computer? My mom recently had the dreaded blue screen and Dell was able to send her a packet of disks (Windows XP and other discs) that were needed to get things back straight. It did not make her loose any data either so she didn't have to do a full restore on the system.

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.

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 LV7.0 Eval version

I had been programming for a couple weeks with no problems, trying to see whether or not Labview could handle the data acquisition requirements that we need for our software. Specifically, I was a little concerned that LV maybe be too "high level" to run fast enough for us. We're acquiring 2 analog voltage signals and an edge counter for X, Y and Z position values and streaming them into an intensity graph to get a picture of our scanned object. I had been using the DAQ Assistant VI to do the acquisition, which understably contains quite a bit of overhead, but the acquisition rate seemed to be okay (around 400Hz while streaming points into a 200x200 array on a DAQCard-6036E). I wasn't quite done the interpolation routine though and was afraid that would slow it down some more.
On Monday I got my first BSOD just a couple seconds after starting my program after using the software for hours. I brushed it off as a fluke and rebooted. Yesterday late in the afternoon I got another one after working on it and testing all day, but this time it never dumped the physical memory (it just hung). Much more concerning, I got a third one today upon just loading up Labview and trying to run my program for the first time. I took down the error message as:
IRQL_NOT_LESS_THAN_OR_EQUAL
STOP:0X000000A(0X6D665346,0X0000002,0X0000001,0X80519E8C)
I rebooted, and upon trying to load windows, I got a message that SYSTEM was corrupt. Our IT guy came by and rebooted again, which seemed to work alright. But then when he rebooted again we got -another- one with no "IRQL" statement. I did manage to get it going again by rebooting for a 3rd time.
What worries me is that this is getting progressively worse. For weeks I seemed to be able to tinker at will with the software and do all sorts of neat stuff and it didn't give me any errors. I haven't installed anything new this week at all, and suddenly it's crapping out faster and faster.
I'm using (or was, until I uninstalled everything for safety) LV Eval version installed on NI-DAQ 7.0 with a Toshiba TE2100 laptop (P4, 2GHz, 256meg). Are there any known issues with version 7.0? I had tried installing the Eval version (I guess it's really called "Express") on NI-DAQ 7.2, but the DAQ Assistant never showed up in the menu. After a few calls to NI tech support, I tried version 7.3 and it still wasn't there (and if you're new at LV, you NEED the DAQ Assistant), so I tried 7.0 and it worked fine.
I've attached my program. It's disorganized, yes, but it does the job. Any ideas?

Hi Tyler,
I'm using WinXP Pro, and I haven't tried the program on another computer yet. The tricky thing is that it's one of those intermittent problems. So I could install it on someone else's computer and have it run fine for weeks, then crash on the last day. The BSOD did not identify any particular problem file, only the IRQ error and that it was dumping physical memory. I know they sometimes give you the exact file that the problem occurred in, but not in my case.
I did a fair amount of searching through this forum and in general regarding Labview and conflicts with other software. I found one message from a couple years ago on another forum regarding BSOD's, and one reply asked "You're not using Sophos virus checker, are you?". Coincidentally, this is the only thing that had been installed on my computer since installing Labview. However, it was installed about 2 weeks prior to the first BSOD. Something I forgot to mention was that my laptop was taking suspiciously long to boot up. I could type in my name and password and come back 5 minutes later and it would still be loading my desktop. It wasn't until I physically removed the DAQ card and then rebooted that I saw it return to normal. I then uninstalled all NI software and reinstalled everthing, this time going with the 7.3.1 drivers. On Friday I also disabled Sophos virus checker for one day. So far it's run error-free today (even with Sophos re-enabled), and my computer booted up normal speed even with the DAQ left in it over the weekend. However, for the first time, Labview crashed on me today (performed illegal operation... do you want to send error report to microsoft etc...).
I sure hope the problems I'm having aren't indicative of the normal operation of the software. It's been amazing to program with so far, and its unbelievably powerful, but if BSOD's and mysterious crashes are the norm, it's going to be worse than our current software (which in itself isn't very good).

Appletemp.sys + BSOD (blue screen of death) with Skype 4.1 using Bootcamp

Hi There,
I am using Skype on my Macbook Aluminum running Vista Business. Every time I run Skype I get a BSOD which is incredibly frustrating, especially if during calls. It doesn't happen straight away but after a few minutes. The error message on the BSOD is appletemp.sys.
Anyone else experience this/ know a workaround? I am considering trying older versions of Skype to see if they are more compatible.
After getting the audio working well this is the hopefully last problem I will be experiencing running what is really an awesome combo.
Cheers,
BaliApple

Me too, exactly same issue, tried updating skype, the sound card drivers, video card drivers and no help, now I dont use skype in windows anymore which I hate because the windows version is a lot better.
I also have a problem with msn messenger on video calls, I have everything working fine and suddenly the microphone volume goes to 0 by itself and I have to restart the application to get it working again.
I hoping apple can fix this when the new bootcamp is released, whenever this is.

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.

Blue Screen of Death After RAW Compatibility Update

My friend updated her 13" Black MacBook yesterday, specifically the "Digital Camera Raw Compatibility Update 2.3". After a reboot, she got the Apple "Blue Screen of Death", with no login window showing. Looking at system.log, there's a section that looks to be the culprit (this began after restarting due to the install of the update):
Nov 7 13:55:29 Philbert /System/Library/CoreServices/loginwindow.app/Contents/MacOS/loginwindow[31]: Login Window Application Started

Nov 7 13:56:02 Philbert com.apple.launchd[1] (com.apple.WindowServer[70]): Exited abnormally: Hangup
Here are some things I've observed/tried, many from sources via the Internet:
- I'm able to login in single-user mode
- I'm not able to login in Safe Mode (hangs on white screen with Apple logo)
- I've tried booting off the 10.5 install DVD and running Disk Utility - verify/repair disk, this comes back ok. However, if I try to verify/repair permissions, it runs for about 10 - 20 mins then freezes. I let the frozen process run overnight (10-12 hours) and no feedback. I can move the mouse, but I cannot select anything.
- When the laptop is booted and on the blue screen, I can connect to it via AFP
- I've tried manually changing the permissions of "/", by doing - chmod 775 /; chmod 1775 /;
- I've tried removing the com.apple.WindowServer.plist and com.apple.loginscreen.plist files in case they were corrupted by the update
- I tried running the "installer" command to re-install the update package from the command line. I run it with the "verbose" flags, I get no output and the process hangs.
Since I can connect via AFP I figure I'll be backing the data up and re-installing OS X. Pretty lame though, considering this failure was caused by running a Software Update. Anyone have a last minute suggestion for me before I go down that path?
I have the full system.log if anyone is curious!
Cheers!

i 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, 0x0000007B and 0x00000050

Hi,
Product: HP Pavilion dv9500
S/N {Removed for privacy}
P/NG2745UA#ABA
Windows Vista Service Pack 2.
Today, when I was running Adobe Photoshop, my computer suddenly froze and some colors on the screen became "corrupted" (some yellow dots, lines and patches appeared throughout the screen). After the computer did not respond after 5 minutes, I then held down the power button to force a restart. When I tried to start it again, the HP logo appeared as usual, then came the black screen with the flashing in upper left corner (a little longer than usual I noted). Then came a screen where I was allowed to choose between, run startup recovery or normal mode. I chose startup recovery. A windowed showed which displayed "Windows is Loading Files" and a bar began filling up. Then the screen turned blue and I saw command prompt flash several times in upper left corner for fractions of a second. Then, without even the recovery window showing, a blue screen of death appeared with the code bearing "0x00000050" PAGE FAULT IN NON-PAGE AREA. This screen hung until I pressed the power button and the computer obeyed. I then began to use several other options that I hoped would fix it, Safe Mode, Last Known Safe Configuration, System Restore, though they all went back to the same "Windows is Loading Files" page. I noted that went I tried to launch from "Normal Mode", the BIOS screen would appear, then after the computer would display another Blue Screen of Death with the more famous code "0x0000007B" INACESSIBLE_BOOT_DEVICE. Could someone please help me? I do not have that many important documents on this computer and I am willing to reboot it though I do not have any disks. Is there another way I can reinstall WIndows Vista? If there is a way that I can recover my files, that would be better. Thanks.

Update: I went into BIOS Setup Utility and performed a Primary Hard disk Self Test. Although the test didn't finish, it stopped with this message "#10009- Replace Hard Disk". I do not really want to order another hard drive, does anyone have a solution?
