Brand new MPB crashing after welcome screen :/ ???

Hello,
I bought a brand new MPB, took it out of the box yesterday hooked it on the AC, started it up, got the nice welcome video, went through the language settings, and then when i had to give in my name all **** broke lose.
I got the beautiful black screen with the white letters saying i have to shut down the computer.
Restarted, tried again, this time managed to get past all the settings, started up at last, was about to go and surf on the internet but even before i had the chanse of even doing anything (not touching the mac at all) you guess it right, black screen again. My 20seconds of happyness where gone.
I'm really desperate, what could i do?
Somebody who knows what could cause this, and is it repairable or should i return my MPB right in?
Thanks in advance
Timmy

hehe no problem you didn't sound short for me.
But its true that i'm sad, who wouldn't?
Its never fun to buy something new and have to return it cause it doesnt work.
But hec, i'll have a better one when i return it.
Thanks for the reply's.
I'll just return it, will be easier.
Greetz,
Timmy

APE crashes after welcome screen

My Adobe Premiere Elements 12 crashes as soon as I try to open a new project. Here is the error message.
Unhandled exception at 0x08A98B6 (dvacore.dll) in Adobe Premiere
Elements.exe 0xC00000FD: Stack overflow (parameters: 0x00000001,
0x16C83FE0).

Okay I'll try to clarify.
I opened my Adobe Creative Cloud and there was a message for me. I can't remember exactly what it said but it indicated there was a service package for me to download (it said bug fixes in small font below the title). It was not labled Premiere Elements exactly but did have the word "Pro" somewhere in the name. I assumed I was supposed to download it so I did and it took 20 or 30 minutes to download and install.
I've been trying to run this program for over a week now and every time I try to run it it crashes after a few seconds. So I cannot use the Add Media/Files and Folders/Project Assets because the program never opens, it just crashes so I never even see the menu options or the timeline.
I read somewhere in the forum that there is a bug in dvacore.dll that sometimes puts a double slash "//" in the default path which causes it to crash. I thought perhaps if I loaded a file from a path other than the default path that I could get around this bug which is why I tried opening the raw video file using the "Open With" route. When I did Premiere Elements opened properly and I was able to view the video as the cursor moved along the timeline so I assumed everything was working. I even opened a new project which opened properly even though this had never worked before.
But now I it is crashing again whenever I try to open my previous project or start a new project or if I use the "Open With" menu options.
Please help.

Fresh install of PE 13 crashes after launch screen

When trying to open the application the launch/splash screen comes up, but after selecting new project and the actual application starts to load it crashes without any additional information.
Windows 7
Nvidia GTX 750 ti driver 344.11
Core i5-4460
4GB RAM
I'm evaluating several video editing programs and just in case one of them was interfering I removed them all, rebooted, and re-installed the trial without success. I do not currently have any anti-virus software installed.

Are you saying that a tryout of Premiere Elements 13 is crashing on you after you select Video/New Project from the Welcome Screen?
What computer operating system is the program running on?
1. Did you install the program with Windows Firewall(s) disabled? (Assumed on antivirus was ever installed).
2. Are you running the program from a User Account with Administrative Privileges?
3. Do you have the latest version of QuickTime installed on your computer with the Premiere Elements13 tryout?
4. Is your video card/graphics card driver version up to date according to the manufacturer of the card?
If you have not already, please do the uninstall/reinstall in the following scheme
1. Uninstall, routine Control Panel way.
2. Free ccleaner run through (regular and registry cleaning parts) to get rid of leftovers from all incomplete uninstalls and
reinstalls.
CCleaner - Download
3. Reinstall the program with firewall(s) disabled. (Assumed no antivirus installed).
Let us rule in or out the above and then decide what next.
Thanks.

How many hours does a brand new battery last after fully charged. I have a late 2008 Macbook Pro.

How many hours does a brand new battery last after fully charged. I have a late 2008 Macbook Pro.

clintonfrombirmingham is right, there is no way to exactly tell. But from personal experience, a new battery on a 2008 will last for about 2 1/2 hours with a higher screen brightness and doing something taxing to the battery (like gaming or running lots of 3D programs). But if you're just listening to music with the brightness all the way down, and no programs running, you could get up to 12 hours. So for average use, it should last you a whole business day (assuming you don't use it more than 30% 0f the time). Hope this kind of gives you more of an idea of what to expect:)

Brand new mac pro has blank screen on start up...why? Can here instructions but can't see

I hae a brand new mac pro and the screen is blank during start up. ***...I can here instructions but can't see screen.

That Mac comes with 90 days free phone support from trained Applecare reps. You should take advantage of it.
Another alternative is to make an appointment at the Genius Bar and have them put their hands on it.
Be sure you do something before your 14-day return/exchange (if you bought it direct from Apple) expires, or you may face a 3 to 5 day repair cycle.
Shine a bright light at the screen when it has booted up.
¿ Is the picture "there" but not lit up? that could be a backlight failure.
The F2 key is used to turn up the brightness, if it accidentally got turned down low.

New 2014.2.1 still crashes at Welcome Screen

Well, I tried installing 2014.2.1 but I still get the Welcome Screen crash. Given all the crash fixes in that update I had high hopes but no joy. This time when I tried to roll back my choices were CS6 and CC. However, after installing CC I checked again and now CC (2014) was an option. So I installed that and I am at least back to where I started. Interestingly, neither CC or 2014.0 present a Welcome Screen when loading for the first time after installation.
What I would really like is a link to 2014.1 which worked fine before my troubles started.
Any help would be appreciated.

What does the detailed crash report say?

After downloading latest CC and Photoshop CC 2014 system crashes at Welcome Screen

Is there any ability to roll-back to previous version??

SL@TW, Did you try disabling the Welcome screen? If not, try the suggestion marked as correct. How to disable the welcome screen?
If you could help us solve your crash, please provide us the Faulty module on which Photoshop crashed.
Check Event Viewer for the Faulty Module http://support.microsoft.com/kb/308427

Horizontal ghosting on brand new T450s LG Full HD Screen

Hi,
Last friday, I've received a brand new T450s laptop, but after using it a bit, I've discovered that the screen has a weird behavior. I'm nearly sure that the problem is hardware related...
Have you already seen this:
Link to image
(more pictures there:
https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=0B6TDb7DjOC5Xd2JJbDF3OVIzRDg&usp=sharing
Bad lines move when I move the windows so it's not a bad line or something like this. The more contrast there is on the whole line, the more the problem appears (you can see more samples with the picture causing problems in the link above).
Can I ask for a replacement, or reimbursement? I don't like the idea of this laptop, freshly out of the factory will be left in the hand of a brute repairman .
Any advice will be welcome...
Regards,
Robin

Hi Hemanth,
Thanks for the suggestions... to be honest, I doubted any of your suggestions would help, but I tried anyway.
Booting in "safe mode" didn't solve the problem
Drivers were already updated (I installed all windows update packages and run all lenovo solution center updates which include a network driver update, but no graphics drivers AFAICT).
I didn't go into the BIOS because these lines appears in rather specific conditions (background has to be dark but not black, there must be a strong contrast -ideally white and black- windows on the left of the screen for the problem to be seen at its maximum).
Furthermore, following the suggestion of a technical support guy, I tried connecting the laptop to a real screen (through VGA because I don't have a display port cable at hand)... there is no problem with the external monitor/vga... this must be a TFT screen or cable defect :-/.
After contacting technical support, I'm about to get reimbursed (DOA procedure was accepted) and now, I wonder...
Is this a common problem? related to the first items of a new batch? I really like this laptop, it's the only computer I find fitting my taste (14" Full HD Display, external battery, dimm socket, room for a real hard drive). There is no real alternative, but I'm reluctant to buy another one now :-/

Brand new X1 Carbon - big issue - screen corruption in BIOS/boot, constant rebooting and BSOD

Hi all,
I got a new X1 Carbon mid March and am now having pretty severe problems with it. It first started a few days ago with this within Windows:
Click to see larger
I rebooted it and it came good. Now today, it did it again so I rebooted it and it started not being able to boot. It would get to the first Lenovo screen where it says 'Press enter to interrupt normal startup' the screen would go corrupted and it'd reboot.
So I went into the BIOS to run Lenovo Diagnostics and whenever I press enter on Lenovo Diagnostics it just reboots again. Sometimes when it reboots, the green light on the power button flashes a few times, the keyboard flashes and then it all goes dark and does that for 5-10 times before booting.
Now most times (say 19/20 times) it tries to boot, it does 'Preparing automatic repair' but it is frozen and as you can see below it is broken:
Click to see larger
Out of the 1 of 20 times it manages to get into Windows, I get:
Click to see larger
In terms of specs, this is the highest end X1 Carbon with the i7, 2580x1440 touch screen, 8gb RAM and 512gb ssd if that helps at all?
The model# specifically is: 20A7-A008AU with a S/N of R9-009TXX (last 2 digits truncated).
All I have done so far is managed to update the BIOS before it crashed again. It has the latest version now from the Lenovo website, mid-March build I think. The drivers etc are all standard but it wouldn't be driver related as the reboot/corruption etc happens before Windows as well. I presume the 'preparing automatic repair' is a Windows function, but the same symptoms happen within the BIOS etc. I haven't got a photo of that as it reboots before I have the chance to snap a pic.
I've lodged a job with IBM (for some reason it redirects to IBM when you go to lodge a service call, is this normal?) but am hoping someone else knows of a quicker fix for me because it's difficult for me to be without a laptop due to my work.
If this is a replace job -- which I imagine it is as it seems to be hardware related to me, how often does that typically take in Australia?
Edit: Resized images to keep total under 50kb as per moderator request

I just got told that I have to wait 72 hours before I can lodged the claim because that is how long it takes to reflect that I upgraded the warranty. Even though I only bought the laptop brand new 3 weeks ago!
What a waste of $334 to extend the warranty this morning. Be warned all that if you upgrade it for the hope for a quicker fix you have to wait 72 hours for Lenovo to know you upgraded the warranty to next day onsite fix despite having the invoice etc for it and they won't even lodge a normal warranty claim because there is a new one coming!
I asked for a service number and got told I can't have one because they won't lodge the claim until the warranty database is updated! 3 week old laptop. Sometimes I wish I got a Mac so I could just go into the Apple Store and swap it there on the spot.

Crashes on Welcome screen when I click Organizer

I have Photoshop 11, running it on Windows 7. It has worked for about 18 months, but now system crashes on the welcome screen every time I click on the Organizer button

If that has worked before, the problem is probably with your catalog.
Hold the shift key pressed before launching the organizer. Select your catalog and try a repair, then optimize.
You can also try to create a new (empty) catalog from that dialog and see if the organizer opens normally.

Why does my new PSE12 crash after about 1 minute?

I used PSE8 for several years successfully, on a desktop running WinXP. Always reliable, if a little slow backing up etc with my huge (75K images) catalog.
My brand new desktop now runs Win7, 64 bit. It is a high-spec machine. I bought PSE12 and converted my old PSE8 catalog. For a while, PSE12 worked OK, even though it took a couple of days to generate all the thumbnails for my large catalog.
Suddenly, it started crashing after around 1 minute - even if I do nothing. I uninstalled the old PSE8 - still the same problem. I uninstalled / reinstalled PSE12 - still the same.
Feeling somewhat desperate as I dare not backup my catalog, or even add new images, as the software will inevitably crash part-way through. And am going on holiday soon, with camera!
Any ideas?

Hi,
If it was working but now fails, it could be a problem with your catalog.
I would suggest you try repairing and optimizing it
Load the organizer
From the File menu, select Manage Catalogs - that should open the Catalog Manager.
Select you current catalog and click on the Repair button
When that has finished, click on the Optimize button
When that is done, click on the Cancel button to close the Catalog Manager.
If it crashes before you can get into the Catalog Manager, start the organizer while holding down the shift key - that should go straight into the Catalog Manger - resume at step 3 above.
Good luck
Brian

New iMac crashing after Lion and SN updates

Well this is my story bought my new imac Jan 2011 - Snow leopard 10.6.4 installed - worked fine problems started after upgrades to 10.6.5 and 10.6.6 - wifi probs initially then a tendency to crash to black screen about twice a day - just a little click noise then nothing often when surfing.... anyway endured this prob and thought upgrading to Lion might fix it...
After installing Lion my new imac ran for 2 mins max before crashing to black screen - I went online and tried all 'known' fixes (no help) - I am now back to 10.6.4 and have had a trouble free day ....been using macs since 1993 and never recall a prob as bad as this - still have a Blueberry imac running OSX beta (lol changed the clock) and Emac running 10.2

Also as a general rule of thumb NEVER NEVER EVER EVER upgrade a computer that isn't 100% stable at the time of the upgrade. When you do you are NOT fixing a problem you are making the problem much more difficult to troubleshoot and fix. You may benefit by reading Understanding upgrade nightmares, this should help explain and possibly shed some light on your problems. My iMac has successfully upgraded over many many updates including major OS X upgrades from Tiger to Leopard to Snow Leopard and now Lion. In each case the migration was simple and the computer remains as reliable as it did when it was new. This is primarily because the computer was stable on each upgrade.
My recommendation would be to start all over again with the base version of OS X that was installed on your system. Do an erase and install and only upgrade to the next version of OS X when the system is 100% stable. WZZ wrote a good guide on the process he does when he upgrades, I do something very similar and as explained each update has been very smooth. Please read his Update Process.

Windows 7 Hangs After Welcome Screen

About five months ago the workstations in our network started stalling at the Welcome Screen. Our fix is to restore back to the most recent restore point. This has worked (KOW) without incident. After reading many posts about the subject, and implementing
others fixes, we are still without resolution. A bit of background info, (more at the end of this post) the network has five W7ProSP1 64bit workstations. There is a 2003 R2 server used for file sharing only. This network has been running without issue for
almost two years. We've turned off MS updates. Ensured MS Defender is not installed. A new switch was installed to test the problem without success. And the most "thrilling" part of this problem is that it is intermittent amongst the workstations.
All are shutdown every night. Yet only a few will encounter the Welcome Screen Stall at the start of any day. Sometimes a week will go by without event for a few. There has been no changes to the PC's or their software. Users have been practicing safe-internet
browsing habits.
Using Dell Optiplex workstations and Poweredge T410 server on a wired network. Avast Pro anti-virus as local installation.
Any suggestions are gratefully accepted.

Hi,
This is an intermittent situation, in this case, there will be error log generated at the event log, First I suggest to check the event log with the event viewer in this way
and post the error log for troubleshooting:
Open Event Viewer by clicking the Start button Picture of the Start button, clicking Control Panel, clicking System and Security, clicking Administrative Tools, and then double-clicking
Event Viewer the go to the Windows logs, then systems.
