Blue Screen while working on my iMac G5 17", 2GHZ

Hello
I wonder if my onboard graphic card in my iMac G5, 2Ghz, 17" is broken
While working a display filling blue screen appears during 2-3 seconds. After that incident, my deskop wallpaper is gone. Also the iMac becomes very slow. I've resettet the PRAM, reinstalled the system (archive & install) and exchanged the RAM modules. Nothing helped.
Is my graphic card broken?
What can I do?

Insert your original installation disk and follow the Hardware Test instructions, if possible.
Otherwise take it in for servicing.

Can anyone help me with blue screen while updating to ios8?

help me with blue screen while updating to io8.2

I don't have a 4G device, but I thought you can use mobile safari, the safari on the iPad, on 4G.
You could also try looking for a third party app. The official facebook app has been non to barely functional for years. I use mobile safari on my iPad although I do have a couple of apps I've used upon occasion.

Hey enderci,

Has anyone experienced a blue screen while the ipad appearently still works in thbackground?

has anyone ever had a blue screen iPad issue repaired and if so what was the price?

Have you tried to give your iPad a reset? Hold down the sleep and home keys for about 20 seconds. If you see the silver apple it's rebooting.
If the reset doesn't help you can try a restore. If that doesn't help then if your device is under warranty and it's deemed to be a manufacturer's defect they should replace it for free. If it's not under warranty then the out of warranty replacement cost starts at 219 for a mini, 249 for a 2 and 299 for iPad 3+ (and more depending on the model)
You'd need to make an appointment at your local apple store if you go for the replacement.

Mac gets blue screen while installing Windows 7 with bootcamp

I had a problem while trying to install Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit on my MacBook mid-2010. When i would create the partition using bootcamp assistant and my computer restarted into the install process, i would get a blue screen. The blue screen would occur after my computer restarted and was completing the installation. If I try to reboot the machine, it gives me an error "The computer restarted unexpectedly or encountered an unexpected error. Windows installation cannot proceed. To install Windows, click ok to restart the computer, and then restart the installation." I first tried this on yosemite, but when it was not working I tried wiping the hard drive and i installed mavericks. I got the same problem, so it does not have to do with the OS. I have installed Windows 7 32-bit on this computer before. But i still get the same error with 32-bit also. I know that this computer supports windows 7 and 64-bit too. If anyone know why this might be happening and how i can fix it, please let me know. Thank you.

It is good to see that it is indeed a USB2.
The support software on the USB is used in the Pre-boot environment setup and provides drivers for Apple specific hardware, GPU, BT, Mouse, etc. You can verify that by looking at the USB contents. The DVD contains generic drivers when hardware is not recognized as defaults to use. Apple does enough 'secret sauce' to make them different. The following does not explicitly state the USB2 need when using the DVD Installer and mentions W8 (not W7).
From Boot Camp: Creating an ISO image from a Windows installation DVD - Apple Support
Insert a blank USB 2 flash drive that is a least 16GB in size into a USB port on the computer. Boot Camp Assistant uses this drive to store the Windows 8 install media and support drivers during installation of Windows.
Note: This flash drive needs to be formatted for the FAT32 file system and must use the Master Boot Record partitioning scheme. Use Disk Utility to check the format of the flash drive before proceeding, and partition or erase the flash drive if necessary.
I suspect the GPU is not getting the correct driver and the Installer fails. The Generic VGA should work. From the OS X side, can you see files in your BC volume? If yes, can you look for logs in the BC volume at the following locations.
./Windows/Inf/setupapi.dev.log
./Windows/Inf/setupapi.offline.log
./Windows/Inf/setupapi.setup.log

Computer always crash (blue screen) while running photomerge (Photoshop CS6)

Doing a photomerge of 6 different pictures, I have a systemic blue screen crash using Photoshop CS6 extended.
There is a win32k.sys error message (page fault in non paged aread).
I tried my photomerge 5 times (once with only 2 pictures) and it always crashed!!!
I have 32 Gb RAM and a i7 3960-X CPU + a GeForce 690 GPU.
Have you heard of such a problem?
Thank you for your help.
Regards,
Alexandre DOLIQUE.

Hi,
Thank you both Alec and Chris.
My OS is windows 7 64 bits with SP1. I ran windows update to make sure I had everything up to date. I ran an update of my graphic card driver (Nvidia).
I am still having the problem.
The weird part is: I am also having a BSOD while trying to photomerge with Photoshop CS5.1 (included in Master Collection C5.5).
I have ran applications using memory and CPU intensively (DxO treating a series of RAW) and had no BSOD.
I would agree with you Chris if I was having BSOD runing other applications or even Photoshop during another treatment than photomerge.
The fact that I am always having BSOD while runing photomerge is puzzling to the least.
I believe there were Windows 7 updated executed since I last had photomerge working.
The only thing I know now, is that photomerge is not working anymore. Everytime I tried, I had a BSOD.
Regards,
Alexandre DOLIQUE.

Blue Screen while loading desktop

HP Pavillion Series P7-1003w
Windows 7 Home Premium
About 2 days ago I've started having an issue with my comp (HP Desktop, 8gb Ram, x4 Processor, ATI Video Card), It started when I noticed my Windows Firewall had shut down and would not restart, immediately I assumed a virus/rootkit had sneaked past my Avast! Anti-virus. So I began running scans. My first scan (Full system scan) came back with 38 infected files inside windows temp files folder, all were malware except for 2 Trojan, Avast immediately deleted these files and I restarted comp to see if I could restart the firewall.
Now about 10 seconds after loading the desktop I get the BSOD. I restarted and ran in safe mode to see if I could asses the issue but nothing worked, I tried running memory diagnostics, system repair (No recovery points found), startup repair, and even ran a CHKDSK but everything came back as fine. So I did a full system restore twice using HP's Built in partition recovery. The computer was fine immediately after restore, but I noticed every time I tried to right-click on something explorer would crash and then restart. The only thing I can think of is a bad video card, but I'd like confirmation/Other options before I throw money at a new one.
BCCode:   a

OS Version:   6_1_7601
Service Pack:   1_0
Product: 768_1
Now its gotten to the point it wont even load Safe mode, the boot screen comes up but after a few seconds a small line of corruption appears at the top. I need a quick solution to this please, this computer needs to be running at 100% again before 6/11/13.
Update: I just plugged in mouse, keyboard, and monitor to see if I could pull the product ID from the system properties before it crashed, it worked fine so I zipped up the dump file and plugged in the Ethernet to try and post a link to it here, but as soon as it became connected to the internet it blue screened again, I'm thinking the windows updater is to blame, even though its disabled.

Hello Erose90,
I see you’re stating your computer blue screens,is that correct? I will be happy to help you.
I would like you to try and create a diagnostic disk, this disk can be run outside of the operating system giving the results more clarity.
This link will show you how to create the disk and run the disk once it has finished. When you open the link scroll down to the sectioned headed “Creating the HP Vision Diagnostic Media”, from there follow the information it provides.
Try to only have this program opened and running so it will lessen the chance of a possible blue screen during the process.
Please respond back at your earliest convenience.
Thanks

Blue screen while n100 XP Bios-Update

Hello and good night!
My Topic says nearly everything. I just came back from an friend i should install XP prof over a crashed Vista. I had deleted both partitions and installed XP Prof on one new overall partition. After a good install I installed all the driver, but USB killed my nervous. I googled and saw the new bios. After downloading i tried the automatic detect. I should use Realtek-bios. So I used it. The program run, backuped and got to the last point the new flash. 2 green dots and the blue kernel crash and reebot.
So my question, what did I wrong? How can i patch and kick this bad usb-bug?

Ähm thx for your ähm helping answer. BUT:
I downloaded the Update, started the automatic. I took the automatic choice and startet the patch. After that it worked until the blue-screen and reboot.
I can't see the point where acted wrong or took the worng choice... I worked like the program said...And I'm sure that I want to patch the USB-Bug in the old bios...

Blue Screen while Installing Win XP on T510

Hi
I am getting Blue Screen Error while Installing Windows XP Pro on ThinkPad T510 during setup. It comes after Win XP's disk has loaded all the drivers and files to start installation. It can load Win 7 and Run but not XP or Server 2003
"A Problem has been Detected and Windows has been shut down....
Tech Info
***STOP: 0x0000007B
Any help please? Thanks
Solved!
Go to Solution.

You needs this driver http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/document.do?lndocid=MIGR-70477
when installing Windows XP you will see probmt to press F6 to add 3rd party driver using floppy disk... yes that right a floppy disk only option!.
or you can add driver to Windows XP cd using Nlite program. www.nliteos.com
maybe the easies option is to change AHCI option from bios that you have already did.
i havent seen any performance issues if XP uses compatibility mode.

Computer blue screen while playing itunes movies

In the middle of a purchased, itunes movie, my computer suddenly emits a horrible sound before the blue screen of death appears. I have to manually hold down the power button to shut down the computer. I have the latest itunes updates. Any suggestions?

"It is really frustrating and have no idea *why it is not happening with the computer tech guys."*
+"I have a hard drive hooked up to the computer"+
The +"tech guys"+ when troubleshooting do not have any devices hooked up to the computer except maybe a keyboard. Did you take your comp to an Apple Store, an AASP or a comp repair shop that fixes PCs & Macs or just PCs?
Have you tried troubleshooting w/o the external HD?

Blue screen while printing to PDF with Adobe

Hi,
I'm using Adobe Acrobat to produce PDF files. A few days ago, all of the sudden, each time I try to create a PDF with the virtual printer, I get a "Blue Screen Of Death" reporting some problem on the win32k.sys file.
I'm using Windows Vista Professional 32 bits and Adobe Acrobat 9.
Best regards.

Which version of AA9. There have been 7 updates or so. You might try a repair and then do any uninstalled updates (in order, they are not cummulative). The repair may resolve the issue or you may have run into some other bug that the updates might fix.

Adobe Creative Suite 5.5 Master Collection turns into blue screen while installing disc #2

I purchased a windows version of Adobe in Sep this year.
I have tried more than 4 times, but still can't install the software.
My laptop turns into blue screen and restarts itself after the system tells me to insert second disc to continue the installation process.
I had the extact same version of Adobe installed on this computer before, but I can't seem to install the software again after recovered my computer.
computer spec:
Win7 Home Premium
Service Pack 1
i5-2410 @ 2.30GHz
64 bits
8GB RAM
500GB SATA
Thank you so much and appreciated if anyone or the actual Adobe tech can solve my problem.

Hi Mylenium,
Thank you for taking the time to read over and answer my question.
However, I don't think this is a driver issue. I actaully had the following softwares installed from the disc--- Adobe Audition CS5.5, Adobe Bridge CS5.1, Adobe Device Central CS5.5, Adobe ExtendScript Toolkit CS5.5, Adobe Extension Manager CS5.5, Adobe Media Encoder CS5.5, Adobe Pixel Bender Toolkit 2.6, Mocha for After Effects CS5.5, Adobe LiveCycle Designer ES2, Adobe Acrobat Distiller X, Adobe Content Viewer, and Adobe Widget Browser.
Before the installation process started, I chose to install everything that's on the disc.
But I can't get the softwares that I really need such as photoshop, after effect, indesign, illustrator, and so on.
Again, thank you for your help,
Kevin

Blue screen while installing Boot Camp support software in Win7 Ultimate x64

2012 macbook pro with OSX Mavericks. Installing Win7 ultimate x64 using boot camp assistant and a USB drive went flawlessly. Then I downloaded and installed the boot camp support software from support.apple.com/kb/DL1638
Running setup.exe bluescreens my computer and makes the windows partition unbootable after that, even in safe mode. I performed a system restore to roll back the boot camp software and booted again, and checked the log file. It pointed to an intel USB driver. I then deleted IntelxHCI from the Drivers/Intel folder, ran setup.exe again, and everything installed perfectly.
My question is: what is the Intel usb 3 extensible host controller, why is it included in the support software, and why does it immediately brick my Windows partition?

I have re-installed Windows 7 about 20 times already, I am experiencing the same problem as you are. The issue must be some kind of driver being installed by Boot Camp. When I leave my fresh Windows 7 install with no Boot Camp, the error or blue screen never occurs. This is weird.
Help please Apple...
