Poorly MBP - Booting/Crashing Issues.

Hi Folks,
Recently my MBP has been getting more and more ill, i've spent a lot of time trying tips and tricks i've found to see if i can resolve the issue. The most odd thing seems to be that the problem only really occurs at work, when attached to an SBS2000 AD domain, at home it works fine.
The list of issues are:
1) Frequent system crashes, lots of apps stop responding and Force Quit doesn't always do so..
2) Disk Images/USB Disks don't mount... the DMG's just sit there "attaching" whereas the USB drives don't mount at all.
3) Most irritating is that i frequently have to force shut down (press and hold power button) as the apps crashing mean Finder won't actually shut down correctly. When i have to reboot most times it won't reboot properly;
a) Some times the top bar will appear, but on the right only Spotlight, no other icons and nothing on desktop.
b) Other times it will appear to have booted up fine but will actually have crashed totally, i.e. you can't click on any icons/dock.
c) Some times the Dock will appear but no desktop icons.
Invariably i will have to disconnect the Network Cable, disable the Airport and also remove the external USB HDD and eventually after a couple more attempts the machine will boot up fine....
4) Frequently the machine won't wake from sleep, i get left with a spinning beach ball of doom... I have applied the latest Firmware as i know this was an issue with early units (mine's an early model)
I've repaired disk permissions with Disk utility, run the Apple Hardware Test (came back fine) and tried lots of other little tweaks (MacJanitor etc) I downloaded a program WhatSize to see where the large files were as i was preparing to reinstall Tiger and noticed that my Entourage/Microsoft User Data Database is 22Gb! I am the SysAdmin so have a couple of Mailboxes open at once... could this rather large amount of data being sent back and forth across the network cause the problems, or are there other things i should be doing???
Please help if you can as i'm going mad
Thanks

This one of the many reasons I say people should move off Entourage. Here on my personal website, I explain how:
http://www.macmaps.com/entouragemigration.html
But the fact images won't mount, says that your mounting preferences or cache may be corrupted. You can try a different user to see if the problem persists there. At least that will tell you if the problem is systemwide, or localized to your user.
The fact it only happens at work, says something is wrong with the firmware of the router you use at work, or that the power supply at work may not be clean.
I would repair permissions and see if that improves matters as well. Do that with Applications -> Utilities -> Disk Utility.
Also don't use any other utility other than a backup utility, Macjanitor or Anacron. Utilities such as Cocktail, AppleJack, Onyx, Macaroni, Tiger Cache Cleaner can cause the issues you are seeing if run at the wrong time because system caches are constantly written to, and if one of those programs should interrupt the writing of those files, those can become corrupt and cause systemwide degradation of the sort you've been seeing. I've seen it happen on few people's machines. Most important is that you backup your data now, just in case these are also symptoms of a dying hard drive.

K7N420 Pro -- RAM issues -- won't boot/crashes

System info:
CPU: AMD Athlon XP 1900+
Motherboard Model: K7N420 Pro
Memory: (Varying, this is the problem, explained in post: but to begin with the system had 2 modules of 256MB PC2100 266mHz. Brand name unknown, some generic manufacturer. For reference's sake, the motherboard has THREE memory slots)
Video card: NVIDIA GeForce2 Integrated GPU, GeForce2 Integrated GPU, 32MB
Hard Drive: Western Digital 80GB
Other cards: None that I know of
Operating System: Windows XP Professional Version 2002 Service Pack 2
Power Source: Addtronics 300w (3.3v/18a, 5v/30a, 12v/9a)
Okay, so obviously we've got an old, old beast here.... But she's served me well, and I'd like to get a little more out of her. So here's the ongoing (very long, I'm sorry) saga:
The computer started doing crashing on me some time ago; lots of Blue Screens of Death, no error messages that gave me anything reliable to use for diagnostic purposes. Eventually it just wouldn't even manage to boot, each time would give me a BSOD. I opened the case up, checked for anything obviously visually wrong (blown capacitors etc), did a good thorough aircan dusting, popped out the two 256MB chips (let us call them Chip and Dale), and popped them back in.
This did indeed have a result- now we didn't even make it to the BSOD! All I got was a repeated ominous beeping and nothing coming onto the monitor at all. I then tried to put in only one chip at a time. Results: Chip works in slots #1 and #2, but not #3; Dale works not at all. (By "works" I mean the computer boots normally and runs normally, for at least an hour, the most I've tested it. Runs SLOW, of course, at 256MB, but runs. By "not works" I mean we get nothing on-screen, and the repeated ominous beeping.)
I presumed I had bad memory on my hands with Dale and that I needed new memory anyways, so I headed to Fry's and picked up two sticks of Patriot 512MB PC2100 DDR 266mHz-- the same specs as the old memory, excepting that it is 512MB instead of the 256. (According to Crucial.com, my motherboard's slots should each be able to support 512MB.) Let's call the Patriot 512 chips Bill and Ted.
Results with the new memory: Neither will work in slot #3. Logic dictates slot #3 is bad. Bill will work in slot #1 or slot #2. Ted will work only in slot #1. The computer will NOT boot if both Bill and Ted are occupying slots. (It also won't boot if Chip is occupying a slot and either Bill or Ted are in another slot.)
(Doesn't this sound like like one of those old logic problems where you have to sort out who owns which house?)
So the best I can get out of her right now is to stick Bill or Ted into slot #1 and proceed with the same 512MB that Chip and Dale used to give me back when they cooperated. However, new wrinkle: neither Bill nor Ted will get along with the computer for anything more than about a half-hour-- then, the computer crashes, tries to auto-reboot, and starts doing Black Screen and Ominous Beeping again. The RAM has to be popped out and put back in before it will boot normally.
*deep breath* I know that was long, thanks to anybody who read this far. Does anyone have any ideas as to what could be causing these problems and/or how to fix it? I've reached the end of all the knowledge I can put to work on this problem.
If I haven't been clear on anything, please let me know, I'll try to answer.

Hello,
Are you 100% sure that slot 3 is clean/dust free?
Memtest is a program that writes patterns to the memory.
The program then tries to recall the pattern(data) stored in the memory location.
If the memory is faulty the pattern(data) may have altered (goes corrupt) and the program will report an error.
Use just 1 stick at a time in slot 1.
Patriot Bill, let memtest run for say 3 hours.
If everything is ok you will not see any errors on the screen.
Then turn off and remove patriot Bill.
Insert patriot Ted into slot 1.
Run memtest again for 3 hours.
Again if everything is ok after the 3 hours it means that both Bill and Ted are ok.

Solaris Express Developer Ed. 5/07 boot crashes

* Crash 1:
I successfully installed Solaris Express Developer Ed. 5/07 on a Dell Inspiron 510m laptop, but after rebooting and selecting Solaris Express from the grub boot menu, the screen gets filled with:
Nested trap, calling reset()
Nested trap, calling reset()
.. and the computer reboots.
* Crash 2:
I also successfully installed Solaris Express Developer Ed. 5/07 on a AMD64 3200+, Gigabyte GA-K8N-SLI, but after rebooting and selecting Solaris Express from the grub boot menu, a message like this is shown (for a split second before restarting) if I boot into 32-bit mode or "failsafe mode":
module "ehci" something something, "NULL dereference" something.
If I boot into (default) 64-bit mode, there is another type of crash output that is not possible to read. Looks like some kind of kernel panic.
The only way I get Solaris Express working is by installing it in VMWare, but that is too slow on those two computers.
What to do? Is there anything I could try except running in 32-bit mode?

but installing linux on my computer with two sata
disk teached me to ask carefully from experienced
people before going to insall the OS.
I have
hda1 windows
hdb4 linux ext3
hdb3 linux swap
hdb5 solaris partition (i think)
i'm not sure you can install solaris partition on extended partition?!
usually, we install solaris on a primary partition, and if the first partition of the extended one is FAT32, solaris can mount it
What i am looking to know is, whether any one shared
idea dn experience and screenshot about developing
java applications in solaris.search on netbeans site, there are many screenshots
Also I can not find whether SxDE has Sun N1 grid with
itself or not.
i don't understand what relation you see between java developpment and N1 grid? N1 grid is to deploy apps and/or OS on many machines, isn't it? but i think you can download it on sun site.

E50 - installer starts /w boot & crashes, how to k...

Hello,
I got my E50 back from service and it kept some of my installed stuff which doesn't work.
Every time the phone boots the installer will start run for 30 secs and then the phone crashes and sometimes reboots.
The question is: how can I kill the Installer before it crashes the phone?
The installer doesn't say anything, just a progressbar moving around.
Thanks!
Swaan
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Ok got around it - bring up task manager with holding down home button and then when Installer is selected press c to kill it.

Computer won't boot, crashes on Grey screen

I'm using OS Maverick on a PowerBook and my computer crashed while using Safari. On start up it goes to a blank grey screen. I used target to take off all my data. I've created a USB boot disk and it's still crashing on start up. I've tried every start up I can find online, Any suggestion?

Take each of these steps that you haven't already tried. Stop when the problem is resolved.
Step 1
The first step in dealing with a boot failure is to secure your data. If you want to preserve the contents of the startup drive, and you don't already have at least one current backup, you must try to back up now, before you do anything else. It may or may not be possible. If you don't care about the data that has changed since your last backup, you can skip this step.
There are several ways to back up a Mac that is unable to boot. You need an external hard drive to hold the backup data.
a. Boot into the Recovery partition, or from a local Time Machine backup volume (option key at startup.) When the OS X Utilities screen appears, launch Disk Utility and follow the instructions in this support article, under “Instructions for backing up to an external hard disk via Disk Utility.”
b. If you have access to a working Mac, and both it and the non-working Mac have FireWire or Thunderbolt ports, boot the non-working Mac in target disk mode. Use the working Mac to copy the data to another drive. This technique won't work with USB, Ethernet, Wi-Fi, or Bluetooth.
c. If the internal drive of the non-working Mac is user-replaceable, remove it and mount it in an external enclosure or drive dock. Use another Mac to copy the data.
Step 2
Sometimes a boot failure can be resolved by resetting the NVRAM.
Step 3
If you use a wireless keyboard, trackpad, or mouse, replace or recharge the batteries. The battery level shown in the Bluetooth menu item may not be accurate.
Step 4
If there's a built-in optical drive, a disc may be stuck in it. Follow these instructions to eject it.
Step 5
Press and hold the power button until the power shuts off. Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed to boot, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Use a different keyboard and/or mouse, if those devices are wired. If you can boot now, one of the devices you disconnected, or a combination of them, is causing the problem. Finding out which one is a process of elimination.
If you've booted from an external storage device, make sure that your internal boot volume is selected in the Startup Disk pane of System Preferences.
Step 6
Boot in safe mode. Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Post for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including wireless networking on certain Macs.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
When you boot in safe mode, it's normal to see a dark gray progress bar on a light gray background. If the progress bar gets stuck for more than a few minutes, or if the system shuts down automatically while the progress bar is displayed, your boot volume is corrupt and the drive is probably malfunctioning. In that case, go to Step 6.
If you can boot and log in now, empty the Trash, and then open the Finder Info window on your boot volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name.) Check that you have at least 9 GB of available space, as shown in the window. If you don't, copy as many files as necessary to another volume (not another folder on the same volume) and delete the originals. Deletion isn't complete until you empty the Trash again. Do this until the available space is more than 9 GB. Then reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode.)
If the boot process hangs again, the problem is likely caused by a third-party system modification that you installed. Post for further instructions.
Step 7
Launch Disk Utility in Recovery mode (see Step 1.) Select your startup volume, then run Repair Disk. If any problems are found, repeat until clear. If Disk Utility reports that the volume can't be repaired, the drive has malfunctioned and should be replaced. You might choose to tolerate one such malfunction in the life of the drive. In that case, erase the volume and restore from a backup. If the same thing ever happens again, replace the drive immediately.
This is one of the rare situations in which you should also run Repair Permissions, ignoring the false warnings it may produce. Look for the line "Permissions repair complete" at the end of the output. Then reboot as usual.
Step 8
Reinstall the OS. If your Mac was upgraded from an older version of OS X, you’ll need the Apple ID and password you used to upgrade.
Step 9
Repeat Step 6, but this time erase the boot volume in Disk Utility before installing. The system should automatically reboot into the Setup Assistant. Follow the prompts to transfer your data from a Time Machine or other backup.
Step 10
This step applies only to older Macs (not current models) that have a logic-board ("PRAM") battery. Both desktop and portable Macs used to have such a battery. The logic-board battery, if there is one, is separate from the main battery of a portable. A dead logic-board battery can cause a boot failure. Typically the failure will be preceded by loss of the settings for the startup disk and system clock. See the user manual for replacement instructions. You may have to take the machine to a service provider to have the battery replaced.
Step 11
If you get this far, you're probably dealing with a hardware fault. Make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store, or go to another authorized service provider.

Fresh OS X install: Trouble booting, crashing.

Hey Apple Community,
I have an iMac 7,1 - mid 2007, 24 inch. About a week ago my iMac (gradually) became very slow, and crashed regularly. Trouble booting as well (booting took ages, with the grey progress bar on the white screen) At that time I was running Mountain Lion.
To fix the problem, I did a fresh install of Snow Leopard, and upgraded to Mavericks.
After this there was still trouble booting, sometimes just a white screen, or a white screen with an apple logo. About one out of five startups are succesful and get me into Mac OS X successfully. (Disconnecting all peripherals gives me a higher success rate.)
When OS X has booted successfully, my iMac is extremely fast, except at some point it just freezes, I just get the round rainbow cursor, and the only way out is a hard reset with the power button.
Since the problem started, there's a process called "kernel_task" that is always using the most memory of all processes (about 400 mb), at all times. However, my RAM or CPU isn't using the maximum capacity, and I have plenty free CPU or RAM.
My system specs:

HP P6720f No Windows Boot, crashing

Hey, I'm putting this here because I'm not sure which category it belongs in seeing as I haven't fully diagnosed the problem. The computer first registered a PXE error which led me to believe it was the hard drive. Upon opening, I discovered a Seagate Barracuda, which have been known to have issues. The model was ST31000528as. Unfortunately, it appears the firmware is new as it is HP35(previous hard drive issues seemed to be rev. 24 or lower). After this I tried booting in to grab files, a managed to grab the important ones before it crashed. Now attempting to boot results in slight green lines that come either vertically or horizontally, cannot get into safe mode, and recovery just barely.
The specs are Win7 x64 Home Premium, 6GB memory, (Exactly the same as default http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c02628244&tmp_task=prodinfoCategory&cc=us&dlc=en...
Any help would be appreciated.

Hi sorry for the very late response. I actually managed to diagnose it and then completely forgot about the post. If anyone else has this issue, I assumed it was either the ram or the hard drive by the error codes I was getting. At this point in time, I decided to run memtest. I believe it's included as a stock program in HP's under PC-Doctor but you can also put ubuntu on a dvd or usb to run the tool. I found one problem stick and upon removal everything was fine. Now I am starting to have issues again, once more PXE rom issues and no boot. I think its the hard drive this time or the sata port on the motherboard. I just managed to get a new Crucial MX100 so I'll give that a try for a bit and see if the problems reappear. I'll update this in case anyone else starts having the same issues.

Boot crash

Hi,
I have this problem with my imac. Whenever I turned on the imac, it will hang during the booting up. Or it will hang after the booting up ie the desktop appeared. After i pressed hold the power switch to turn off followed by turning on again. Everything works fine. Why is it so? I have reinstall my snow leopard once and still the same. Please help.
The mail can received but cannot sent out using apple default mail. I have switched to Thunderbird which work fine now.
Thanks.
Joseph

Another +1 from me. My MBP is only 3 months old or so, and this problem has started since installing SL.
First time I did an upgrade install over Leopard -- started having this problem intermittently.
So did a clean install and restored from backup (a fun way to spend an evening).
But still get the problem: virtually every time I boot 'cold', the computer will hang on the grey screen with the Apple logo and spinning circle. Turning off and on again usually fixes the problem, and the problem seems not to occur after a restart, only when powering on.

Booting/Crashing Problems with Dual Core 2.3GHz PowerMac

I'm wondering if anybody else is having this problem. ...
I'm having problems booting my new Mac... for the first few weeks everything was fine ... but for the last few of days it often takes 2 or 3 tries to boot to the desktop (it hangs during the boot process) and sometimes when it get there it freezes when I try to launch an app. Rebooting yet again usually solves the problem...
Yesterday after i got it booted it sounded like my disk drive was working for a long time after it was booting the computer was very slow and when i checked CPU usage was very high bit i was not running anything to cause that!
This evening I had to reboot 5 times before I was able to do anything .. and one time the fans kicked into high gear and sounded like a vacuum cleaner!
Once I got it going I opened Mail and checked my new eMails, opened Safari then left the computer for about a half hour and when I got back I had message on my screen saying I had to reboot!
When I got my Mac I immediately ran the full hardware test and it passed... Then I immediately added 2 GB of Crucial RAM and ran the full hardware and memory test yet gain and everything passed...
So it should NOT be a RAM issue.
Has anybody else seen this type of thing and/or has any suggestions on how to fix it or isolate the problem?
Thanks

Feldspar-
As I'm waiting for for my replacement Dual Core 2.3 G5 to arrive back from Apple, I've been scanning this site to see if there has been any conclusive determination about the underlying problems with the new G5s. So far, I'm sorry to report, I don't see any.
My recomendation to you is to talk directly to apple tech support If you aren't already. Although they may not have a definate solution at this point, you may be able to get a new machine, with more assurrances of it being healthy, than getting your current machine repaired at a service center. You have only 30 days from your purchase date to determine this, and in my case it took a few days working with them to get to the point where all of their tests and trials were done and my machine was classified DOA.
We have paid too much money for a machine that is only as reliable as the amount of time we're willing to spend to get it running after a few (or more)boots. One of the main reasons I've chosen Apple for all these years is that I didn't want to have to learn all of the underlying engineering and programming that make it work. I have always been willing to pay more money for a system that works when you turn it on the first time. I am confident that Apple wants very much to maintain their image of reliablility since much of their competitive edge is the advantage of great looking Apple hardware running their feature packed native software.
I am hoping that we haven't entered a new era with Apple products where my new best friend is going to be the tech guy at the local apple repair center: (not to knock any of them..by the way.)
Although I don't make my living on my cumputer as you do, I depend on my computer throughout my day for information, important financial transactions and comunication. It goes beyond inconvenient to have to send my machine back, for whatever reason. I am writing this on a rock solid G4 933 that has never had a single problem. Have I just been lucky?

S6000-D not booting crash in lenovo's screen

After some hours the tablet stops working, it freezes at Lenovo's screen.
I try to recovery but in recovery mode the UP volume button don't work.
Can anyone help me?
Thanks.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

If you got it from aliexpress for example and confirmed order received or you're protection has run out unfortunately you can't do much.
If you're still under aliexpress protection you can open a case. Same goes for other sellers/sites if you paid your order using PayPal.
Really sorry about this....what can I say.

MSI R5750 Will not display during boot, crashes on update

Hello,
I recently upgraded my PSU and VGA for my computer and am using a generic LCD monitor (hp L1925). When I installed the VGA, it will not send any video output unless the monitor is first plugged into the motherboard's video. When I plug the monitor into the VGA, everything runs fine, the VGA works well. However, when I try to either install or uninstall drivers, part of the monitor turns black and then loses picture. Live Update has my system at the latest version of BIOS for both the motherboard and VGA. Any ideas?

I swapped out the video cable between the monitor and the vga, now everything is working very well. Thanks.

Premiere Pro CS4 won't boot - keeps crashing when trying to load VST plug-ins

This problem has been a thorn in my side for ages - after a recent software update to some of my VST plug-ins, Premiere Pro will no longer boot. I have to re-name the VSTPlugins folder to a different name. It used to be that it would scan the VSTPlugins folder, crash a bunch of times, then eventually boot up because it figured out that it should ignore that folder. It no longer does this, so I have to manually rename the VSTPlugins folder every time I run premiere.
Obviously, this is a hassle. And is extremely easy to fix from a programming point of view: stop scanning my VSTPlugins folder!!!!!
Is there a workaround for this, or a way to tell Premiere to stop scanning that folder for plug-ins?
Thanks,

Hi Bill - as I mentioned in my first post, the behavior you describe is what used to happen: keep launching PPro until it finally boots (pretty lame solution, by the way).
However, as I also mentioned, that no longer works. PPro keeps crashing on the same two or three .DLL's and they never get "blacklisted" because it tries again on the next boot. These .dll's were recently updated, so I'm guessing that's why it's an issue now. I was able to boot-crash-boot-crash ... boot-crash-boot before, but not since the .dll's were updated.
The coding solution is so simple I can't believe it's never been implemented: give the option to stop scanning the VSTPlugins folder! Seriously, this is probably 2 minutes of coding for someone who knows where to look in the code.
Anybody have a fix for this problem?
Thanks,
rgames

I installed the above system last summer and have been having problems ever since. Initially the video signal dropped after booting so I replaced the graphics card. This didn’t work so I replaced the MOBO. All was OK for a while then the system started crashing for no apparent reason but would usually be OK for a while after re-booting. Then it failed to boot into Windows at all. I checked the BIOS and noticed that the Smart Fan setting in the H/W Monitor had disabled itself somehow (I had set it to be enabled with a target temperature of 40OC). I re-enabled the setting and was able to boot into Windows OK. However it still crashes every time from a cold boot (the CPU fan comes on full speed for a few seconds then the computer just shuts down). After a few re-boots it settles down and seems to be fine.
I’m assuming the problem is something to do with CPU temperature but in the BIOS H/W monitor the system and CPU temperatures are never above 30 to 35OC. As the system seems to be perfectly stable once it’s been re-booted a few times it doesn’t seem that the CPU is actually overheating. I’ve tried setting the CPU target temperature higher (say to 60 OC) but still get the same cold boot crash. Note that the MSI Dual Core Centre utility in Windows shows the same CPU and system temperatures as the BIOS monitor (although the GPU temperature is much higher at 60 OC).
Any suggestions for solving this would be much appreciated.

I'm not familiar with your brand of ps. Have you tested the rails while the system is running using a digital voltage meter?
