Blue screen with power-on password

Enter Power-On password on blue screen when booting. Can't get into bios or anything. Model is HP 110 (110-210). After 3 attemps it locks up. No code given.

Hi: Please read the first post at the link below which may resolve your dilemma. You would enter the serial number of your notebook in the box on that BIOS password website to generate an unlock code. http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Notebook-Operating-Sys... If that works... You can: 1. Use the unlock code you generated to enter the BIOS
2. Disable all passwords that are enabled in the BIOS's security menu.
3. If asked for current password - type the unlock code
4. For new password, just press ENTER key
5. Repeat the same for verify password column.

When turning on my imac, it loads to a blue screen with a turning wheel and never gets passed that. I have tried booting to safe mode and it still doens't work.

When turning on my imac, it loads to a blue screen with a spinning wheel. It never gets passed that screen. I have tried power up to safe mode and it still doesn't work. I have music files saved on the computer and I don't want to lose any of my files. Can someone help me?

Zap the PRAM and Reset the SMC, and see if that fixes it. BTW. detailed computer and OS info goes a long way to solving problems.

My touchsmart will not boot allI get is a blue screen with f key to do different things

My Touch smart desk top will not boot when I turn it on all I get is a blue screen with HP in the center and f key functions

Hello charleshobby:
Your computers start up has been corrupted. No big deal. Turn on your computer hold down on F-8 key as you turn it on. This should put you in safe mode. If f-8 key fails then just disconnect the power cord at the power adapter and plug it back in and turn on your computer (This is called a fource start up) automatically puts your computer into safe mode. Use your arrow kek select safe mode with net work. Top one I belive. In safe mode close out Help and Support window displayed. Open up Recovery Manger and select Microsoft System Restore. Click next then click next again now a list of dates will appair choose a date before this event occured. Click next and let your computer complete the sytem restore. My guess Microsft up dates caused this issue. After this is finished now go back and change all your update setting to down load up dates but let me choose witch ones to install. Only install three at a time. To a void future occurances and black screen or blue screen issues. Follow these steps for blue screen or black screen. Please click on Kudos if this has resolved your issue. Thank you frrw.

Blue screen with rotating gear

I have installed a new hard drive in a mac mini PPC. When I try to install OS X from the original disk, I get as far as the language selection screen and then it goes to a blue screen with a rotating gear. I have left it there for an hour and nothing changes. I did make sure to format the drive before I tried to install. I don't know what to try but I am very stuck at this point.

Matthew:
Check your formatting against these directions:
Formatting, Partitioning Erasing a Hard Disk Drive
• With computer shut down insert install disk in optical drive.
• Hit Power button and immediately after chime hold down the "C" key.
• Select language
• Go to the Utilities menu (Tiger) Installer menu (Panther & earlier) and launch Disk Utility.
• Select your HDD (manufacturer ID) in left side bar.
• Select Partition tab in main panel. (You are about to create a single partition volume.)
• Select number of partition in pull-down menu above Volume diagram.
(Note 1: One partition is normally preferable for an internal HDD.)
• Type in name in Name field (usually Macintosh HD)
• Select Volume Format as Mac OS Extended (Journaled)
• Click Partition button at bottom of panel.
• Select Erase tab
• Select the sub-volume (indented) under Manufacturer ID (usually Macintosh HD).
• Check to be sure your Volume Name and Volume Format are correct.
• Click Erase button
• Quit Disk Utility.
Open installer and begin installation process.

MBP stuck on blue screen with spinning loading icon during update to 10.6.7

I have a mid-2010 model Macbook Pro 13inch, 2.4ghz/4gb ram
I've been scouring apple forums and even reddit and my googlefu has yielded no such luck. Basically, System Update has been yelling at me for a few weeks now to upgrade to 10.6.7 (among other updates) and I've been putting it off and putting it off, with the intention of eventually doing the update, but I just kept forgetting.
Finally tonight, I remembered, and decided to open System Update, and do all the recommended updates that it was asking me to do. So, without thinking twice (I've never had an issue with this before) I clicked download and install, and away it went, downloading like usual and then rebooting.
Thing is, it's been stuck at this blue screen with the spinning spiral coming up on 5 hours now. I know the 10.6.7 update was close to 400mb, but I've never had anything like this happen before.
My hard drive had more than 150 gigs free on it last time I checked, and it's been running absolutely flawless up until now.
Has anyone else experienced this? Is it supposed to take so long? What do I do?
I've been contemplating shutting it down by holding the power button, but since it's a OS update I'm afraid the drive will be corrupted, and unfortunately I don't have a current backup of the drive either... Help

I left my macbook plugged in over night, we're now going on 14 hours of this blue screen with the spinning wheel/symbol. Anyone?

IQ500 Blue screen with no response

I have a HP Touchsmart IQ500 that is a little over a year old. It was working fine and I went out one day to come back and start it up to find it was only a blue screen with a few options.I found someone with a similar problem and they explain it better so here is the problem:
The system booted up to the blue screen with the HP and Intel logos and four options listed which were: <F10=Setup>, <Esc=Boot Menu>, <F11=System Recovery>, and <F9=Diagnostics>.
Pressing either F10 or Esc resulted in the messages "Entering Setup..." or "Loading Boot Menu..." respectively but the system immediately freezes. Pressing either F9 or F11 has no discernable effect at all.
Pressing Ctrl+Alt+Delete, pressing the power button, or hard-cycling the power all have the same effect of bringing me right back to the blue screen.
There seems to be no computer response to anything I do, besides the blue screen being there. I also cannot get the computer to start in safe mode, since I also tried that.
I would greatly appreciate any help as I have a lot of personal items on the computer I would hate to lose. Thank you for any help!

Yes .. it might be a hard drive problem. And not a very fun kind of hard drive problem. I was thinking about this thread alot last night... trying to figure out any other possible problem. There is also the lesser possibility that it might be heat related damage to the motherboard, memory, graphics card, or processor... but these types of issues usually show up as intermittent lockups and freezes.
THe easiest fix I can think of, for someone who is not all that computer-savvy, is to replace the hard drive. THis sounds hard, but it is pretty easy on TouchSmarts. Before you start, you must have a set of ecovery discs if you want the software to be the same as when you bought it.
If you don't have discs, you can order a set from HP for minimal cost.
Once you have the recovery discs, you simply swpa out the hard drive with power unplugged...put everything back together and insert the first recovery disc into the PC to start the recovery process.
steps to replace HD...

Why is my MacBook Pro **crashing** changing to a blue screen with lines or distorted screen when I open logic or Ableton Live

Why is my MacBook Pro **crashing** changing to a blue screen with lines or distorted screen when I open logic or Ableton Live. Then I have to restart by long pressing the power button. Can somebody plz help me

What you describe sounds like a hardware issue. Unfortunately, you'll need to get that checked out by Apple. If you have an Apple Store near you, make an appointment with the Genius Bar and take the machine in for evaluation.

My MBP 15 inch can't switch off (freeze at blue screen with spinning wheel)

Whenever i try to "shut down" my MBP, it will freeze at the blue screen with the spinning wheel (that keeps spinning like 'eternally')! Any idea how to solve the problem?
I tried booting from the installation disk and repairing disk with "disk utility" but to no avail. Have also tried repairing disk permissions... Any idea how else should i tackle this problem?
Currently i can only switch off my MBP by holding the power button (forcing it to shut down)...
Please help Thanks!

Launch the Console application by entering the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search, and select "system.log" from the file list. Enter "BOOT_TIME" (without the quotes) in the search box. Note the times of the log messages referring to boot times. Now clear the search box and scroll back in the log to the time of the most recent boot when you had the problem. Look for error messages in the minutes before that time, and post them here -- the text, please, not a screenshot. Edit out excessive repeats, if any. Do the same with kernel.log.
If the logs don't go back far enough in time, scroll down in the Console file list to /private/var/log/system.log.0.bz2 and /private/var/log/kernel.log.0.bz2. Search those archived logs, and if necessary the older ones below them, for the same information.
Also in Console, look under System Diagnostic Reports for crash or panic logs, and post the most recent one, if any. For privacy’s sake, I suggest you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if present (it may not be.) Please do not post shutdownStall or hang logs -- they're very long and not helpful.

Hi my iq504 has a blue screen with the logo HP won't do anything

i have a IQ504 touch smart pc and i turned it on and its stuck on blue screen with Hp logo please help

Hello,
Can you enter in BIOS?
If not, you can try to remove the power adapter and any device connected extenrally and keep the power on button pressed for 30 seconds.
Then, connect the adapter and try again. If it still fails, try to make a memory reset, remove them and try to boot the unit in that way, see if you have any beeps.
If the issue is still unresolved, try to disconnect the HDD and see what happens.
Issue could be related to power, memory or hardware failure.
Let me know the outcome.
Thanks,
I work for HP! Please remember to provide and if this helped click ON

Reset PMU and Powerbook won't boot past the blue screen with "Mac OSX" box

Hi-
Problem: I tried to reset my PMU, and now when my computer restarts it won't go past the blue screen with the "Mac OSX" logo in the box (and progress bar, that never fills up). I then also tried to reset PRAM, but it still won't boot properly.
Backstory--
I've had my 12-inch Powerbook G4 for about 3.5 years already, so things are starting to get a bit out of whack. I replaced my battery about 3 months ago, which has been great, but recently my power-cord has been wonky (having to unplug it and replug it in to make sure it actually charges the computer, the light flickers on and off, etc). Today it actually started producing SPARKS at the place where the thin white wire meets the white plastic power brick, so I decided it was time to get a new one. Brought it home, plugged it in, and since it seemed like the battery indication icon on the menu bar was all out of sync with the powercord colored-light, I tried restarting it a few times, but still the same. Then, I decided to reset the PMU, which may have been a huge mistake. And now it won't boot past the blue screen... Any advice? I'm going to try restarting it in "safe" mode, but I'd be so grateful for any recommendations. Hope I haven't done something irreversibly stupid with the PMU reset.
Thanks,
Samantha

Hello all,
Thanks for all of your great suggestions and info-- here are a few responses.
1) The disk I just borrowed from my friend appears to be the full retail version-- it looks just like the links that Ali B sent, and is in a large box saying "Mac OSX Tiger, version 10.4"... will this be the proper disk to do an Erase and Install? The only other disks I have came with my Powerbook when it was originally purchased, when it came Panther (I think, 10.3?). Would I use both sets of these disks to do erase and install? Or only the Tiger OSX disks?
2) I get the sense that Disk Warrior or Tech Tool might be necessary, but does it make sense to TRY to do erase-install before buying them? Also, are there any downloadable (for pay) versions of this, or would I need to track down the actual physical disks in Hong Kong or wait for them to be shipped?
3) I haven't yet tried the S.M.A.R.T. test, should I do that first? What is the procedure? Are there any results or ways to know if the drive is too far gone (so that I might instead replace the internal hard-drive) instead of pay 100 USD first to do the disk repair?
4) Cornelius said: "An alternative would be to completely reformat and erase the entire HDD, then re-install and restore your data from backup. If your backup is in the form of a bootable clone of the entire HDD, you can just clone it back." I use Super-Duper to back-up and the most recent one copied the whole thing-- what would be the later procedure of "cloning it back"?
5) As I'm able to use my computer pretty normally right now, but does it still mean that it might crash/die at any moment? Is there any way to tell?
Thanks so much!

HP 6525 Photosmart Blue screen with On/Off icon and "B8564450" message

Found my HP6525 in the following state:
- Blue screen, with an On/Off icon and various error messages
- Cannot turn printer off; press On/Off switch and HP logo appears and then an new or same Blue Screen appears with the same or different error message all starting with the letter "B"
- Removing power cord from printer, and reattaching results in same scenario
- cannot really turn printer OFF, just multiple instances of the Blue Screen on display
- Cannot do anything else since there are no other controls other than the touch-screen.
- Printer was set up for Wireless/Bluetooth operation with the two computers having wireless access being a
- Windows 7 Laptop
- Apple iPad
Both worked flawlessly before this???
What happened??
-Unfortunately, this is the FIRST occurrance of this level of issue with a long line of HP inkjets?????
How can I reload firmware?
- connecting via USB cable, and doing setup or something different?

Hello,
This seems like a hardware issue, I would suggest calling HP @8004746836 and see what options they have to replace or repair the printer.

Blue screens with my new P45 Neo3-FR motherboard

Blue screens with my new P45 Neo3-FR motherboard
I have recently purchased this Motherboard and being trying since few overclocking combinations unsuccessfully
I have a Dual Core E8400 Rev.E0 processor and the best I had so far is 3.6 MHz (400x9) at stock voltage.
I am trying to achieve 450 FSB (450x8.5) stable with memory @900 MHz.
I have increased Vcore to 1.28v and 1.31v, Vram is on 1.9v and I left all other voltage settings on Auto.
Disabled CPU C1E function and & Spread spectrum.
As soon as i raise the clock over 400MHz is when the problem start.
Most of the time is happening when the machine has been left (idle) for a while, I just click anywhere,or just start a programme
and suddenly I get a blue screen and the machine re-boot, and again I run Prime for 3 hours (torture test) and not a single blue screen.
Very weird..
I have 2 MB (2 x 1024) dual corsair memory DDr2 PC6400 XMS2 (5-5-5-18) modules and an ordinary Ati Radeon Powercolor HD 3600 graphic card.
I tried to run both memory stick in single mode and one at the time, but still getting those blue screens.
I have built this system re-using a couple of years old power supply from Hyper (505W).
I need some advice as I am trying to establish which component is to blame.
Could this be caused by the PSU, perhaps malfunctioning or inadequate for this motherboard ?
Also thinking about the memory....memory seems running OK till 960 MHz with processor at 400 x 9 (1:1.20 ratio).
Or perhaps is the Motherboard ?
I have Vista Home Premium Edition OS.
Please advice guys.

Hi Guys,
I`ve just updated to Bios v.1.71b
Raised FSB to 445 Mhz and kept multilier to 9x (445 x 9 = 4.005 Ghz)
Vcore to 1.335v
Dram to 1.904v
MCH to 1.304
VTT FSB to 1.34v
ICH still on Auto
Disabled C1E support, Spread spectrum and Intel EIST support.
Set ram to 1:1.00
Tested several times with Super PI & Intel Burn Test and machine is stable so far.
