Blue Screen & Restart when trying to shut down
I've been having this problem the past week or so where when I try to shut down windows, I'll get a little blue screen error after the "shutting down" screen (literally a split second), then a restart of my computer. I can never just shut it down completely anymore, I have to wait for it to restart and then shut it off manually. Now from previous knowledge I know that a blue screen and a restart generally means theres a hardware or software error, but I'm wondering what's causing it to do this. I recently installed an external DVD drive...could that be the problem? I don't know. If anyone has any suggestions on what I can do to fix this, it would be much appreciated. Thanks
this seems like a different problem than the display whine, but a windows blue screen can happen when a +/- incompatible driver is installed. I don't know if you needed to intstall something with the external drive? Maybe de-install related software and check if there are some update patches from Microsoft.

You have following choices to free up space from recovery area:
1. Consider changing RMAN RETENTION POLICY. If you are using Data Guard,
then consider changing RMAN ARCHIVELOG DELETION POLICY.
2. Back up files to tertiary device such as tape using RMAN
BACKUP RECOVERY AREA command.
3. Add disk space and increase db_recovery_file_dest_size parameter to
reflect the new space.
4. Delete unnecessary files using RMAN DELETE command. If an operating
system command was used to delete files, then use RMAN CROSSCHECK and
DELETE EXPIRED commands.

When I try to tune up my PC, a blue screen appears then immediately shuts down ?
When I try to tune up my PC with the Hp Support Assistant or download my zoo tycoon game, a blue screen appears telling A problem has occured and windows shut itself down to protect data and to disable or remove any new software, and to disable BIOS memory options such as caching or if I need to use safe mode to to remove or disable and components on my computer, then it immediately shuts down? How can I fix this?
What model computer and what Windows version? Blue screens like that can be a lot of things; bad memory, bad hard drive, a virus, a bad driver. The first thing to do is run a full hard drive test in the BIOS and see if there is any physical problem with the hard drive. Then I would do a chkdsk to see if there is a problem with the file structure then lastly an sfc /scannow to see if there are problems with Windows system files. Lastly, I would run a memtest to see if there are memory problems. Post back if you need specific help with any of these things or all of them.

Very long blue screen with spinning sprocket at shut down
When I shut down my Mac Mini, after everything closes properly I get a blue screen with a spinning sprocket for a very long time. I end up having to power down and restart. It happens most of the time, interupted with an occasional proper shut down.
Any ideas on what this means?
Thanks for your time.
KevinCheck Console in Utilities for messages from around the time of the shutdown. Check system.log expecially, but look around at some of the other logs as well. Also, try booting in Verbose Mode, CMD-V at startup. This will scroll text of the bootup sequence before it goes to the regular screen, but the next time you shutdown, it might scroll text of the shutdown sequence and give a clue as to what's going on there. Be ready with a camera or notepad to write down what you see.

Satellite A200 - Blue Screen error when trying to open HWSetup
Hi,
I get a Windows Blue Screen error whenever I try to open HWSetup or access the Toshiba Flash Card using the Fn key.
Any ideas how to solve this?
Cheers!Hello
The error message invalid serial number occurs if you try to install a software that is not designed for this notebook. Maybe you did download the HWsetup for an other notebook.
Check this!
Furthermore I have searched in the forum and maybe this could be useful for you:

Blue screen restart when I use numbers and try to multitask. Is apple fixing this soon?
Safe Boot by restarting your computer while holding down the "shift" key. Safe booting disables all nonessential processes, often times allowing you to start up when you would otherwise crash.
As of OS X 10.5.6 Safe Boot deletes the dynamic loader shared cache location in the /var/db/dyld directory. A corrupt cache here can cause the blue screen crash. Once you restart normally, the cache will be recreated. This should take care of the issue.

When I tried to shut down my other Ipad(by sliding the red bar) the gear symbol started spinning but it won't shut down--the gear is still spinning 18 hrs later.
Try and force iPad into Recovery Mode
1. Disconnect the USB cable from the device, but leave the other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
2. Turn off the device: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for the device to turn off.
3.While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to the device. The device should turn on.
4. Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen. When this screen appears, release the Home button. iTunes should alert you that it has detected a device in recovery mode. Click OK, and then click Restore to restore the device.
Note: Data will be lost. You may have to repeat the above many times. -
