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, surprise restarts, and some captured clips distorted, with blocky artifacts!

    Hello,
    I've been using my set-up (Premiere Pro 2.0* with Cineform AspectHD) successfully for years, to capture and edit footage. But just recently, my computer has given me the blue screen of death after capturing for about 5-10 minutes or caused my computer to restart in the middle of capturing. I've also noticed that the resulting captured clips are, in some places, distorted and contain blocky artifacts. It isn't a problem with the tape because the footage plays just fine on the camera's preview monitor. I tried re-installing Premiere Pro 2.0 and Cineform AspectHD, but the problem persisted after a successful, but brief capture session (the resulting clips were still distorted and contained blocky artifacts). I have no idea what the problem is! One solution I attempted was to capture on another computer in my house, using the same software. Although I didn't get the blue screen of death or a surprise restart, the captured clips were still distorted and contained blocky artifacts in some spots. Another option I tried, with the second computer, was deselecting the Scene Detect option in the capture dialogue box. As a result, the captured clips are free of distortion and blocky artifacts, but the problem is that the captured clips are too big and very difficult to manage (I shoot a lot because I'm a filmmaker and I'm in the middle of a big project). Why is this happening?!
    Any help with this problem would be greatly appreciated!
    *I'd use a later version of Premiere, but I spent a lot of money on Cineform AspectHD and the version of Cineform I have only works with Premiere Pro 2.0.

    I agree with John T. BSOD's are most often caused hardware issues, such as overheating of a component, or a failing, or undersized PSU.
    Also, general system drivers can cause failure. Often, those are outlined (though maybe not in really adequate detail) in the Event Viewer's log. In that article, that John T. linked to, there is another link to "Finding Clues." It goes into more detail on using Event Viewer to explore warning, or error messages. If your testing of your system's components and heat, do not yield a weak link, see that one (no pun intended). It is in Reply # 3.

  • 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 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 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)

    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.

  • 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”

  • When I clicked on Firefox, the update bar started but when it stopped Firfox would not open. The blue screen of death popped up and said something about a new installation. We restarted the computer and now Firefox will not open. Help!

    When I clicked to open Firefox the update bar appeared and an update loaded. Usually when this happens Firefox will open up when the update is finished. This time it did not open. when I clicked on the icon again the blue screen opened and said something about a new installation and if this was the first time you have seen this screen restart your computer and try again. I restarted the computer and when I clicked on the Firefox icon the "hour glass" would appear like it was trying to open but it never would open. I don't know what else to do.

    See below -- the way I asked the question the first time may not be clear. This post was a goof but I can't figure out how to delete it

  • 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.

  • 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?

  • 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

  • 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.
