C8180 flashing lights and blue screen with code B0379A21
my printer is a little over 1 yr old and hasn't even done enough ptinting to change the ink cartridges. lately, when off and
no computer on, the lights will all flash and the screen is blue showing B0379A21. you also cannot use the printer shut off button to turn it off and you can't change the screen. the only way to stop it is to turn off the main power. help!
will try the recommended removal of ink cartridges and unpluggig of the usb cord. i am not sure that this will be the fix
because it only does it intermitently and only when the printer is off. also, one of the blogs said something about having
the printer plugged into a surge protector and the tech said that the printer had a built in surge protector and that it should be plugged direct into the wall and that should get rid of the blinking lights and code. do you know if the C8180
also has a built in surge protector and a possible cause of the problems come from the power strio?

Grey and Blue Screens with Spinning Pinwheel
Mid 2009 Macbook Pro 13 inch with Mac OSX Snow Leopard installed. 2.26 GHZ 4 GB 160 GB Version 10.6.3
I got this dead Macbppk Pro from my daughter . I put in a new battery and re-installed Mac OSX Snow Leopard from the licesned disc she bought so I could get rid of all her files and have free space and to make the Macbook now mine with my passwords etc. I got free support from Apple on how to install the disc and overwrite everything that was on it.
Until now ... I get a Grey Screen with the Spinning Pinwheel for endless time.
So the I tired the Hold Alt/ Option + Command + holding the P and R buttons while starting it up and got a Blue Screen with the spinning Pinwheel.
Any Help on what to try next ?
I only use it about once a month because I have a desktop. Does using it only once a month harm anything ? Should I be doing anything to not have this problem with it ?
Or do I have to re-install the disc again and if so .... what would be the procedure to do so ( I forget )
Thanks EricHi Eric,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
If your MacBook Pro is only starting up to a blue screen with spinning pinwheel, reinstalling OS X may be necessary. I would recommend going through all of these steps first:
Restart the computer in safe mode. If the computer successfully starts up in safe mode, choose Apple menu > Restart to see whether the computer will restart normally.
Starting up in safe mode
If you see the login window prompting you for a user name and password, but starting up doesn't progress, you may have incompatible login items.
Eliminating incompatible login items
Repair your startup disk or disk permissions by starting up from your Mac OS X installation disc and using Disk Utility.
Repairing a disk
Back up your disk and then reinstall Mac OS X by starting up your computer with your Mac OS X installation disc.

Gray screen after boot and blue screen with stripes
Hi, I have a MacBook Pro Mid 2011 with Mavericks (came with Snow Leopard).
History:
One day i was working and things were too slow. I tried to restart but it was taking too long to close all the programs. So I forced shut down by holding the power button. When I turned it on again, my problems begin.
Problem:
The Apple logo and the spinning wheel appear. After a while, both disappear and it freezes at gray screen. Some solutions I tried make the screen goes blue with black vertical stripes. In both cases, I have to force shut down.
Solutions I tried:
- Reset NVRAM
It does reset, but nothing change
- Log in my Windows partition. I can't log
- Hold option key and choose recovery. Blue screen
- Recovery system by restart and press Command-R. Blue Screen.
- Safe boot by pressing Shift. Blue Screen
- Verbose by pressing Command-V. Restart and gray screen again.
- Single-user mode by pressing Command-S
Tried to reapair hard drive:
/sbin/fsck –fy
Returns the message "** The volume Macintosh HD appears to be OK.". I restart and nothing change.
Tried to change startup permissions:
mount -uw /
chown root /
chmod 1775 /
exit
Restart and nothing change.
- Boot from a bootable USB flash drive
Holding option key, I choose my flash drive with Ubuntu installed. It gives me 3 options: Use Ubuntu without installing, Install Ubuntu, Repair Disk Errors (something like that). The 3 options go to the blue screen
Flash drive with Mavericks. Blue screen.
-Boot from my Snow Leopard CD. Gray screen, restarting, gray screen.
I don't what else I can do. Is it a hardware problem? At first I thought it was some corrupted file. But is it a GPU or logic board problem? What else can I try?I found this to work at least to get in and backup some files. It is VERY important to put these commands in EXACTLY as seen here, including spaces.
Boot into Single-User mode (Command-S while booting up)
Execute the following commands:
/sbin/fsck -fy /
/sbin/mount -uw /
mkdir /Disabled_System_Library_Extensions
cd /Disabled_System_Library_Extensions
mv /System/Library/Extensions/ATI* .
mv /System/Library/Extensions/AMD* .
touch /System/Library/Extensions
exit
I guess these two graphics extensions go bad quite often on Macbook Pro 15-inch. They are part of the logic board. The only problem I had was I still couldn't get into my computer any other way, and the graphics for Safari were messed up. Firefox was okay. Good Luck!

I have light blank blue screen with no other options?
My screen went to a blank background light blue color with no other options visable. What can I do to fix it?
Is it a software issue or a graphics card issue? Any thoughts are welcome.
Thank you in advance.Thank you, but it didn't clear it. The first step you mentioned didn't seem to make any difference unfortunately.
The second safe mode option did help in providing me my regular screen though it was fuzzy and it asked me to restart the computer.
I restarted the computer and I'm back to blank light blue background screen with no options.
Does it mean anything that I did have something under the safe mode though it was fuzzy/grainy?

Desktop Screen Flashes Between a Blue Screen and a Desktop Screen
Product: HP ENVY TouchSmart 15t-j000 Select Edition CTO Notebook PC, Model C9G48AAR, Product Number: C8P45AV
Problem: After logging in, the screen flashes the Start Screen on and off in random fashion, and is unresponsive to any input.
Effort: We followed the instructions on the HP web site for this symptom (Desktop Screen Flashes Between a Blue Screen with a Blank Taskbar and a Desktop Screen on Startup (Windows 8)), but it failed at step 8 - the Start Screen flashes in Safe Mode with no way to find or enter the "Control Panel" step. We have also rolled back the system to the last restore point, reseated the memory, and reset the BIOS - all HP recommended processes for video problems.
Current Status: We always look to resolve any problems via the HP web site first; this one had us stumped. We went to the "Contact HP" to chat with a service agent, but discovered that our warranty expired eight days ago. We were directed to this forum for assistance. The laptop is my son's and is being used for his college courses. We need any help you can provide as quickly as possible. Thanks!

I have an IPod 2nd generation I bought from a pawn shop. It worked for a day but now when I try to charge it, it keeps switching back and forth from the large full screen icon of a low battery and a lighting bolt below to the blue screen with the apple symbol in the middle. I had it on charge all night but still dead.

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/.

Blue screen with flashing folder and question mark on startup
Hello.
I need help with my Macbook Pro. I get a blue screen with a flashing folder and a question mark at start up. To date I have tried the following:
Apple Hardware (Extensive) Test (Results: "No Trouble Found")
Safe Boot
Reset NVRAM
Reinstall OS X via the internet (I received no discs when I purchased it). I select the StartUp Disk to reinstall. When reinstalling via the internet I get to a point of reinstalling Mountain Lion but it asks me to choose a drive - yet there are no drive options to choose from. Then a window comes up asking me to "Select the system you want to use to start up your computer" but no options appear. When I choose "Restart" a note pops up saying "You can't change the startup disk to the selected disk. Startup Disk could not gather enough information on the selected disk."
The only option is "Restart" from the Apple menu. When I choose that it goes back to the original "Blue screen with flashing folder and question mark on startup."
I have no Time Machine
I can't access the disc utility.
Are there any ideas as to what might be the problem?Your hard drive has likely failed and needs replaced. That would explain why the system does not display it when you attempt to reinstall the OS via Internet Recovery.

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}.
The verification of a KnownDLL failed. system process terminated unexpectedly with
a status of 0x0000221 (0x007fb9c0 0x00000000).
The system has been shut down.
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.

My C5280 All in one printer flashes a blue screen with error B0248122.
It flashes a blue screen with a different B 8 digit number each time. All the buttons on the front flash yellow. I have to unplug it to turn it off. Occasionally it will say to turn it off and turn it back on, but it rarely solves the problem. This used to be an infrequent problem, only appering occasionally, now it is all the time and am not able to use my printer at all.
Any ideas?Hello,
This error typically is caused by some issue with the ink delivery system.
Recommend to follow some steps mentioned in this link:

Can you start Firefox in [[Safe mode]] ?
You can also do a clean reinstall and download a fresh Firefox copy from http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/all.html and save the file to the desktop.
Uninstall your current Firefox version and remove the Firefox program folder before installing that copy of the Firefox installer.
It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
You can initially skip the step to create a new profile, that may not necessary for this issue.
