Endless X restarts when trying to autostart GNOME

When I have booted into my Arch external drive recently, thanks to the *VERY* helpful Arch Wiki (and the Beginners' Guide), I can get X (and possibly GNOME) to autostart on startup. Problem is, when the system is fully booted, I just see an X watch on the screen and X constantly restarts, with no GDM. Any idea what could be causing it?
I have an integrated Intel graphics card and the drivers are already installed. Is there an "intel" HOOK to pass to mkinitcpio? Is there also a "video" HOOK? If so, then that's what I need to do.

Post your /var/log/Xorg.0.log
when you say autostart, are you talking about gdm ? If so please also post the last lines of your gdm.log (actually I don't know if it's called like that look in /var/log directory)

Mountain Lion Crashes and Restarts When Trying to Sleep

Ever since I installed Mountain Lion, when I try to put my early 2011 MacBook Pro to sleep it crashes and then auto restarts. I can't find anything in the log files to indicate what is causing this crash. This seems different than the reported bugs of the sleep function under the Apple menu not working. It tries to sleep, then "bong" it reboots and tells me it restared because there was a problem.

Actually it hangs at almost every program launched.
It crashes during archiving process using winrar, when I tried to copy a file larger than 4GB, when launching windows internet update, avast antivirus internet update, when configuring local network, when trying to launch Prince of Persia: two thrones, when playing Dark messiah of might & magic (those were the only games I installed).
At the moment I'm quite determined to report everything to the thoshiba service and ask to use the guarantee or sumething like that.
When I reported the errors as Windows proposed, it showed that it is a graphic card problem, it said to install new drivers or decerase the speed of the display device (though it never had beed incerased by me). Either reinstalling the new derivers or decereasing power of the graphic card didn't help.
The new, never seen by me blue screen showed me this: IRQ_NOT_LOWER_THAN_EQUAL (or somthing simmilar).
As I wrote at the begining it crashes almost at every opportunity...

Hi Emma,
Did you manage to find a solution for this? We are in NZ and having the same issue across out network of agency computers... Our IT supports answer is to overhaul the machines (at a huge cost!) but we're not even sure this is going to work... a bit ridiculous that you pay for a product you can't use properly and then have to pay for someone to fix it, which even then, might not work!
If you haven't found a solution, we did find a way around the vaildation for Photoshop, Indesign, Illustrator and Bridge. At the validation screen if you click on the text to sign in as another user, it takes you to another screen. Resign in as the same user (yourself) and then it should let you access these programmes. Although you have to do it everytime you open it. Unfortunately we can't get it to work at all for Acrobat, it lasts about 2 seconds and then automatically quits.
Cheers,
Alaina

Why does my computer restart when trying to print? OSX 10.8.3 epson 2200

I seem to have a problem on my macpro 3,1 3ghz, osx10.8.3 computer when i try to print. When clicking print in any program, it will automatically restart my computer. I've tried resetting the printer settings in system preferences, and when clicking plus to add the printer, it will restart again. The printer is an epson 2200.
I've downloaded the huge printers driver files again, and still nothing. Also tried to fix permissions and that didnt help.
Everything was working fine printing before osx 10.8.3.
Any help would be great.

On the phone today with Senior Apple Tech guys for ovber an hour. I have a case number. They said they hope to have something by Saturday.
I will keep this forum posted if and when I get anything.
In the meantime USB is working just fine.
BTW, spoke with 2 Epson techs and they both said basically talk to Apple, and as far as they knew Apple wasn't supporting Fireire any longer.
It is true that the new machines do not have FW ports. Never the less, the printers were all fine on 10.8.2 and FW so obviously there was a slipup somewhere.
I have had Macs since day one. I consult quite a few photographers and architects on their computers.
In the last several years there have been very few problems, and none that I recall that brought down the whole system.
The old days, yes, but this really startled me. To say nothing of the promised print job I was starting!
Keep the faith that Apple will fix this, and quickly!

Tried doing repair, uninstall/reinstall.

Hi,
According to your description, I recommend you can follow up these steps below to handle the issue：
First, try to disable the windows process which is running.
Second, you say you can run VS in the safeMode. It seems there is something wrong with VSCommands extension or other plugin. You can try to disable all extensions, restart visual studio and re-enable them; sometimes it resolves such issue.
Third, you can try to reset your Vs by devenv.exe:

Please update the result after you already try methods above.

IPhone 4S freshly updated to iOS 6 restarts when trying to move Passbook app to another screen!

My iPhone 4S, freshly updated to iOS6, keeps restarting with dimmed display when I try to move Passbook app to my third (or any other) screen?
I repeated this 7 times so far, it happens every single time!!!
Does anyone have an idea what might be wrong?

try doing a hard reset (hold the power and home buttons together for 15s) then trying again
or you could try something silly like adding passbook to a folder moving the folder to another screen then taking it out of said folder

Restarts when trying to convert.

Hi,
i'm trying to convert my .mov files to .avi so i can edit and upload.
the problem i have is when i'm trying to convert larger files it restarts my computer.
it lets me convert a file when it is short though.
i've checked to see if there is a problem with quicktime and it says that there isn't.
this has been stressing me out for weeks so i thought it's finally time to ask for some help.
so any help will be greatly appreciated,
thanks in advance.

Hi, XP will restart on it's own if the wrong video card driver is installed, but I don't seem to think, that is the problem your having, because the computer would just keep restarting.

N95 8GB restarts when trying to use Voice Dial on ...

Ok, so when I have my N95 8GB connected to either a line-out speaker or a blue-tooth earphone, the strangest thing happens. When I try to use voice-dial, right after I say the name I want to dial - the phone freezes. When I press any key on the phone, it restarts. Voice dial works fine when no external device is attached, but if I even connect earphones - it breaks. Anyone experienced this? I'm using FW 35.0.001 Thanks, Ambious

It sounds like that where the phone stores the voice tags has become corrupt so that when the unit tries to access them the phone gets unrecognised data which in turn resets the handset.
Take the unit to yur nearest NSC for a software upgrade.
Hope this works for you.

Blue Screen & Restart when trying to shut down

I've been having this problem the past week or so where when I try to shut down windows, I'll get a little blue screen error after the "shutting down" screen (literally a split second), then a restart of my computer. I can never just shut it down completely anymore, I have to wait for it to restart and then shut it off manually. Now from previous knowledge I know that a blue screen and a restart generally means theres a hardware or software error, but I'm wondering what's causing it to do this. I recently installed an external DVD drive...could that be the problem? I don't know. If anyone has any suggestions on what I can do to fix this, it would be much appreciated. Thanks

this seems like a different problem than the display whine, but a windows blue screen can happen when a +/- incompatible driver is installed. I don't know if you needed to intstall something with the external drive? Maybe de-install related software and check if there are some update patches from Microsoft.

HP Mini 110-3520ca constantly restarts when trying to restore from usb flash drive

Hi,
I have a HP Mini 110-3520ca that I upgraded to Windows 8, but was having issues with freeze ups and shut downs so I decided to go back to Windows 7 Starter. When I tried to restore to factory default the files were corrupted and I couldn't restore from the recovery hard drive or my external back up files. I ordered the recovery USB flash drive from HP and tried to restore from it. It completes the Recovery Preparation and the Software Installation finishes, Windows starts to load, but Ithen it goes back to welcome to Recovery Manager. When I try to start Windows without the flash drive I get an error log that is below. Can someone tell me how to fix this or what needs to be done to get my Windows working again, any help would be greatly appreciated.
Carol.

Hi @Savvy58
I did some further looking into that Error Log you posted. Basically, it means that is looking for a certain location that doesn't seem to be there. This could be a problem with the USB Recovery drive that you have. I would recommend that you contact HP. You can reach HP Total Care at 1-800-474-6836 in North America or start here if you live outside of North America.
Please click “Accept as Solution ” if you feel my post solved your issue.

Treo 700p restarting when trying to sync

My treo 700p keeps restarting whenever I try to sync it with my Mac. I have been having syncing problems for awhile now, but now it just restarts everytime, and discontinues the sync. Any ideas on how to proceed? I was going to troubleshoot the syncing problems (my Mac won't find the device through the USB cable) but now this is happening and I'm not sure where to go from here.
Any help is appreciated! Thanks!
Post relates to: Treo 700p (Alltel)

I was not able to resolve this, and have been pretty discouraged.
In response to the second post, I'm not sure how to check this on my phone, is this a mac setting? There is no log created, the mac says it can't find my device when connected through USB. It can find my phone through bluetooth, but recognizes it as a phone and says it doesn't support syncing with this device. I initially went with USB syncing because it was easier. When I asked the phone to hotsync via bluetooth, it crashed and restarted again.
Any help is appreciated, thanks!

Macbook Pro Restarts When Trying to Sync iPhone 4

I'm trying to sync my iPhone 4 in iTunes using the USB. As soon as it starts, my MBP shuts down and restarts. Any suggestions as to why this is happening and/or how I can fix it?
Thanks.

Also, I've tried restarting and I've swapped USB cables as well. My iTunes llibrary is on an external hard drive that is also connected to the MBP via a single USB cable.
