Blue screen with sound after clean install

Hi Everyone,
I have just replaced the hard drive on my MacBook Pro A1226 Model. The install went fine when it finished all I get is a blue screen with the osx music in the background.
I have tried deleting the ApplicationEnhancer file using single user mode, I have tried removing all the ATI Extensions but still no luck. I was able to get the welcome video up once but was unable to select my country or continue. I have also tried to complete the install using safe boot but no luck.
Any ideas or help would be brilliant.
Thanks in advance

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.

osx music
Music plays on startup?

Blue screen of death after fresh install of Win7 onto bootcamp!

So I am currently running:
I had this problem when I installed windows on bootcamp before but was told there was a driver error or it was a bad install on the windows. So I did a fresh install deleted the partition. I re-installed Windows 7 again with a different disk just to be safe. I am getting the exact same problem after I install all the drivers from the Bootcamp driver download. I feel like the problem could be related with the drivers being downloaded from the bootcamp software thats pre-installed on the mac. Any thoughts, any help?!
Thanks,
Ryan

, Hello and thanks for posting on the HP support forums. The first thing you will want to check is if there are any issues with the hard drive you put in. Run the BIOS diagnostics for the hard drive and the hard ware to make sure there are no issues. HP Notebook PCs - System Diagnostics (F2) And.

Problem with downloading after clean install

Since doing a clean reinstall of my Lion system, I'm having problems downloading some of the small Apps that I use.
In Safari, I get a message saying there's not enough space on my HD - and on Chrome, I get a 'Canceled' message.
I've repaired permissions - no difference.
Strangely, sometimes the download works (with Safari) even though it gives the free space error.
(There is over 359 GB of space on my HD).
Andy

Hi ...
Go to ~/LIbrary/Safari
Move the Downloads.plist file from the Safari folder to the Trash.
Restart your Mac... try a download.
~ (Tilde) character represents the Home folder.
For Lion: To find the Home folder in OS X Lion, open the Finder, hold the Option key, and choose Go > Library

Blue screen with cursor at boot. And everything after that.

Dear Forums,
(Please note, I'll refer to the machine as a Server, but it is only using 10.4 client; I am merely using the Sharing capabilities of such).
I have a MDD G4 that I'm using as a server. When I start it up, I get the Blue Screen with Cursor (BSwC) at boot - and it never goes past that. (Can't move the cursor either).
I have read the articles
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106464
And Dr. Smoke's
http://www.thexlab.com/faqs/startupitems.html
http://www.thexlab.com/faqs/repairprocess.html
I've also tried AppleJack and clearing out caches, zapping PRAM, etc. All the standard fare.
It will boot into safe mode just fine, and it is still acting as a server just fine.
I have also tried Multiple Users (to no avail).
I tried a reinstall of Tiger, which, interestingly enough, didn't give me the option for Archive and Install and Preserve, but instead only gave me the option to Upgrade (hm, from Tiger to Tiger). While this fixed nothing, the server continued to work after this.
Then I had the bright idea to install the OS to the 2nd drive I had within. 'Surely this would work,' I thought. But alas. It did not. In fact, clean installation, new disk, (and yes, I booted from this 2nd disk), the same BSwC problem.
So, please, Dear Apple Support Discussions, let there be someone out there smarter than I (I'm really not that smart, but I do follow instructions well).

How long did you wait for the blue screen to go away? I also have a iMac G5 2GHz ALS.
My computer has been having a problem where on the first boot of the day, it it would hang in the gray screen for about 1.5 minutes and the blue screen for about 4 minutes. I thought it was permanently hung but discovered that it would eventually present the login screen. I could then login normally but none of my firewire external drives would mount. I could restart over and over and the same situation would be present.
Resetting the SMU seems to cure the problem and rebooting would be quick and all firewire drives mounted correctly. I could then reboot as many times after and normal behavior of the iMac would be repeatable.
However after having the system down for several hours and restarting it, the problem would be back.
I have now moved all my firewire drives to a powered hub and will watch over the next day or so to see if that changed anything.

Blue Screen of Death After Trying To Install Windows On Pavilion ze4900?

After my hard drive died in my Pavilion ze4900, I replaced it with another notebook hard drive I had laying around.I also tried installing Windows XP home from a Windows installation CD, the same OS the laptop had before the hard drive died. All went well until the laptop was done loading all the installation files, instead of giving me the option to either install Windows or repair Windows, the laptop ends up showing me a blue screen with the message: " A problem has been detected and windows has been shutdown to prevent damage to your computer." What can I do to resolve this issue? I have installed Windows XP on another computer using the same CD, so the CD hasn't gone corrupt and the replacement hard drive is barely used. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Blue Screen of Death after GPIB Software Drivers 2.1 install, nipsbfw.sys, nipalk.sys

I get a blue screen of death after I upgraded the GPIS Software Drivers to 2.1. The screen complains about the following files: nipsbfw.sys and nipalk.sys.
I'll copy down the exact message and post it...

Hello fkwok �
First, make sure GPIB software driver 2.1 is the correct driver for your operating system and board by clicking here.
If you are using Windows 2000, this KnowledgeBase is extremely useful.
If these suggestions do not solve your problem, please post the exact message and I will look into the issue some more. Have a great day!

K7N420 Blue screen with audio drivers

Hi guys. I sold my K7N420 to my brother (I went to the dark side :D ) and he got a problems with Windows 2000 server and the latest nVidia 2.03 drivers. The system shows a Blue screen when is booting and the only workaround is booting in safe mode and then deleting the nvidia sound drivers.
It is a clean install of W2K server plus SP3. The machine has no extra hardware installed (I mean, no PCI cards), it has BIOS version 2.7 with the default setting and with the APIC option enabled.
I am thinking it could be DirectX version that comes with the original W2K, but if anyone have a better idea of what is happening, it would be nice.
Thanks,

Got no other cards in it and bios is resetted to default values so the Duron is running at 900Mhz (100/200/66).
set the fsb to 133 and ram fsb/dram to 1.1

The problem is: after installing sound drivers PC wont boot, it shows the loading windows logo with the scrollbar and past half the lights on my keyboard blink and then it hangs. Sometimes it shows a blue screen with a message that starts with IRQL_something. If I disable audio in bios, computer starts without problems... any ideas?
either ram, resources, or the irq assignment.
Go to device managers page....view by connection tab, and see if the sound is sharing resources with another major component.
list what you see there.

Machine Check blue screen (with error codes)

I thought I had this fixed, but apparently I was wrong. Every now and then, for what seems to be no apparent reason, I get this blue screen error:
Quote
CRITICAL STOP: MACHINE CHECK EXCEPTION
A problem has been detected and windows has been shut down to prevent damage to your computer.
If this is the first time you have seen this stop error screen, restart your computer. If this screens appears again follow these steps:
Check to make sure any new hardware and software is properly installed. If this is a new installation, ask your hardware or software manufactorer for any windows updates you may need.
If problems continue, disable or remove any newly installed hardware or software. Disbable BIOS memory options such as caching or shadowing.
TECH INFO: ***STOP: 0x0000009c (0x00000004, 0x80545ff0, 0xb2000000, 0x00070f0f)
I had similar problems before, but the blue screen is new after replacing my video card. (Before the new video card, the computer was freezing up with a black screen. I'm assuming the blue screen is a step in the right direction?) Original thread is here.
Right now, this is my current system:
Motherboard: K8T Neo-FIS2R [Bios version 2.0 (I think; its the most current version as of 2-15-05)]
CPU: Athlon 3000+
PSU: Antec Truepower 550 (+5V=40A; -5V=0.5A; +12V=30A; -12V=1.0A; +3.3V=32A; +5V SB=2A)
RAM: 1 1GB DDR400 (cas 3.0)
HD: Seagate ST320082 200GB SATA Drive (VIA driver)
DVD: LiteOn DVD Rom
Floppy Drive
Running Windows SP2, all current updates installed
NVidia 6800GT video card (Asus; using TechConnect driver)
Soundblaster Audigy 2
DLink Wireless Network Adapter (DWL-G520)
I have tried replacing the RAM, HD, video card, and Power supply with similar results.
The error message clearly states that I should try disabling memory options such as BIOS memory options such as caching or shadowing, but I don't know what affect this would have if I did this. Any opinions on this and other suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks...

- EDIT -
One more note: Nothing is overclocked in PC. All temperatures seem normal. CPU does not go over 38C.

I ran memtest for about 5 hours with no errors. I'll give it a go for a while w/o the sound card for a week or two.
I wish this thing wasn't so hard to troubleshoot. For example, it was happening about 2 times a day before I tried new ram. After going with the new stick of ram, it was fine for about 10 days, so I thought it was solved. Then last night, I got two of these again.

Blue screen with error code and I have no recovery disks for HP Pavilion dv6-1260se

I have a HP Pavilion dv6-1260se with factory installed operating system of Vista. When booting up the computer, I receive a blue screen with this error message: STOP: c000021a {Fatal System Error}.

I do not have recovery disks for this computer. I tried to order them but them seem to not be available. This is my daughter's computer. She says she started to have trouble after downloading Frost Wire (music share) and then she removed it. We tried going back to an earlier time and that didn't help and then the blue screen with error message appeared. What do I do now?
This question was solved.
View Solution.

Hi,
Assuming your in the US, recovery discs are available to order for that model here. That may be the best option.
You should also be able to do a recovery without the discs as well. Take a look at this document: Recover Windows Vista Operating System Using HP Recovery, and look for the section Restore the PC to its original condition with the HP Recovery Manager if Windows Vista is not accessible. This should allow you to recover the PC.

Stuck on blue screen with clouds rainbow, floated ...

As it says.
When I start Skype, it goes straight to a blue screen with blue clouds and a green rainbow at the bottom. I get no prompt to login. I have followed various guides, such as renaming login to login1, deleting login, restarting the computer, uninstalling then installed skype (which gets me an error code 2734 I think), uninstalled and installed Internet Explorer. I have run windows update and everything is up to date. I also followed the advise in the floated topic, and even after using Command Prompt (which was not in Accessories folder, had to search cmd to find it) and restarting, the 'click this button' does not work.
Skype was working fine on Sunday, and now it is broken. The only thing I have done in the meantime is run a repair tool for Windows Media Player as a game I installed required it to play in game music.
EDIT: I use Windows 7.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Scripting in Internet Explorer might be disabled by an Antivirus software. What Antivirus software is installed on your computer?
Meanwhile you can try the “legacylogin” workaround, which should enable login to Skype using the old legacy login window. However, you will not be able to login using Microsoft account (email address).
Quit Skype. Make sure that you don’t see any Skype.exe processes in Windows Task Manager. If necessary, then stop these processes.
Open this folder on your computer:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Skype\Phone\
You should see there the Skype application file (Skype.exe). Right click on the Skype.exe file and select: Send to – Desktop (create shortcut). Right click on the newly created shortcut and select Properties and then the Shortcut tab. In the Target field you will see now:
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Skype\Phone\Skype.exe"
Click with your mouse on the text in the Target field and move your curser one space after the last quotation sign and add the text /legacylogin. The text in the Target field should now read:
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Skype\Phone\Skype.exe" /legacylogin
Click OK to save the changes. Start Skype using this new shortcut. Can you now login to Skype?

Blue screen of death after update

I just recently received notification that there were updates for my iMac 700. After checking to be sure what the updates were (iTunes and OS security update) I clicked on Update. Not long after this started I was called away for several hours and on return and waking the computer from sleep (options set for 3-screen saver, 5-turn off screen, and 10-sleep) I noted the expected notice about restarting the computer to finish the installation. I clicked Restart and then had to divide my time between two computer almost adjacent to each other. After several minutes when I expected the computer to have finished the install and restarted, I checked and only a blue screen with the spinning time marks were showing. As I watched the screen went black for several seconds then the Blue Screen and Time Marks returned. This same scenerio happened several times over the next hour telling me there was something wrong with the OS and because of lateness I decided to wait until the next day to check the computer. The next morning I turned the computer back on and watch as the blue Apple screen came up for a short time then the spinning Time Marks came on. This lasted about 5 minutes then the screen went black for several seconds (previous was for shifting between multiple updates) but after this happened several times it indicated there was definitely something wrong with the OS. I pulled out my OLD original Tiger (10.4.0) install disks and opened first aid>disk check and ran the disk verification which passed with no notices whatsoever. I then started to re-install 10.4.0 but when it notified me that it could not install because there was newer version of os (10.4.11) installed and to use Options. I quit out of this because one of the options was to erase the disk and because of the install failure in this manner would be unable to backup what was on the computer. I then pulled out the Apple Care disk that came with the computer but that was in classic (9.2) but had not fully loaded after almost a half hour so discontinued the load. What is the data integrity safety factor in reloading 10.4.0 using the save data option as this is the only thing I can see to restore the computer at this time.

It appears to be time for a relatively painless Archive & Install, which gives you a new/old OS, but can preserve all your files, pics, music, settings, etc., as long as you have plenty of free disk space and no Disk corruption, and is relatively quick & painless...
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=107120
Just be sure to select Preserve Users & Settings.
I only use Software Update to see what is needed, then get them for real via...
http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/
That way I can wait a week or so, check the forums for potential problems, and get Permissions & such in order before installing.

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.

Reinstall OS X:
Reinstall OS X without erasing the drive
Do the following:
1. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions
Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer.
If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
2. Reinstall Snow Leopard
If the drive is OK then quit DU and return to the installer. Proceed with reinstalling OS X. Note that the Snow Leopard installer will not erase your drive or disturb your files. After installing a fresh copy of OS X the installer will move your Home folder, third-party applications, support items, and network preferences into the newly installed system.
Download and install the Combo Updater for the version you prefer from support.apple.com/downloads/.

What does it mean when you computer crashes and when you turn it back on it shows you a blank blue screen with a little folder and a question mark in the middle?

What does it mean when you computer crashes and when you turn it back on it shows you a blank blue screen with a little folder and a question mark in the middle? It's a old imac from 1997.

I don't have original discs that it came with.
Then you still can use the second option with the keyboard combo I posted, called "resetting the PRAM."
Also when you way hold the c key down do you mean turn computer off and turn back on holding the c key?
Yes, or you can simply restart. As you don't have the CDs, this isn't on the plate any more.
The internal backup battery is not expensive and, in most iMacs is user-replacable. If yours has a tray-loading optical drive like this one:
it takes a major teardown to replace the internal battery. If this is the case, you'd be better off to leave the computer plugged in all the time; that eliminates the main reason for having a working battery.
If it has a slot-loading optical drive like this one:
things are much easier. The battery is visible through the RAM access door on the bottom of the computer case. The manual:
http://manuals.info.apple.com/en_US/iMacG3_2000UserManual.PDF
has sketches of how to access the RAM and therefore the backup battery. Unfortunately, the pdf on the manual goes up sideways on-screen and the RAM instructions are pretty deep into the manual. It's probably easier to scroll (for a while) to the section on adding RAM and print the applicable pages.
When you work on the battery, some sort of non-conductive pliers or large tweezer or forceps help unless you have tiny fingers. Make sure to note the polarity of the old battery and install the new one in the same orientation.
The battery itself is readily available. If price is no oblect, you can get it for a small rasom from Radio Shack Store ("Tandy" outside the US) as part number 23-026.
Online, they are dirt-cheap even after adding shipping. I buy backup batteries form this outfit:
