Failed 10.4.7 update has caused blue screen at log on

I tried to download the 10.4.7 update (133MB version) to my 15" MBP and for some reason the download failed. Now I cannot start my MBP- after the Apple screen it just goes to a blank blue screen and stays there. I have looked for advice on the discussions board and tried the following things-
-starting it in safe mode and deleting the log in items (in both user accounts), that didn't seem to make any difference
-restoring the firmware as per the advice at http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=303469, nothing happened when I followed the instructions, just started up again with that blue screen. Problem with this step is that it only works if you haven't since updated the firmware and I suspect we have since we do most of the updates that come up with Software Update.
Any other ideas before I take the computer back to the shop?
MBP, Mac Mini Mac OS X (10.4.6) still learning how to use my Mac...

To solve this, I downloaded the upload using the other computer and put it onto a cd-rom. Then I started the computer in safe mode, then pu the cd in and continued the update. Seemed to work a treat.
Might help someone else if they get any issues similar to this in future...

Skype video crashes my GPU driver and causes blue screen.

Hello,
Installed a new copy of windows and got the latest version of skype for my PC (on wich skype worked just fine, video calls, voice calls, but it was an older version. No hardware changes)
With the new skype, I , for the least, get driver crashes, and for the most, a blue screen, when I just go to options to set up my webcam.As soon as I see the square "loading" my webcam in the options, everything freezes and I get a driver crash or a blue screen.
Current specs:
i5 4440, stock clocks
2x8gb 1333 ddr3 1.5v ram, stock
R7 260x, stock
500w PSU, not the best quality, But I also tried a 1000w platinum PSU, and same resaults.
last error code I remeber from the blue screen was: 0x00000116
I know it is related to the GPU, but it doesn't have power deficiency, since I manage to run heavy games just fine.By the way, my webcam works just fine on different web sites, so it's not the webcam.
What I tried:
-Degrading to the oldest supported version by skype
-Degrading video drivers
-Using different webcams
-Installed all windows 7 64 bit updates
edit:
skype 6.14 works, but newer versions crash my GPU drivers and cause blue screen

I would suggest uninstalling Droidcam as it could be the source of some delays assisting in causing the problem. TDR problems occur when your videocard is unable to respond in 2 seconds for a variety of reasons (heat, tweaks), forcefully resetting the card. Some people increase this delay in their registry from 2 to up to 10 seconds to give the card time to catch up so that a reset doesn't occur. You can try this MS fix it which increases this delay. https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/2665946

Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the main menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. 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 main menu.

My iPad has a blue screen What's wrong with it

My iPad has a blues screen what's wrong ?

Hold the home and power button down until it restarts. If it continues, restore it. If it continues and only happens in one app, contact the developer or update the app if it has any updates. If it happens with not just one app, reserve an appointment at your local Apple Store and have it replaced. http://www.apple.com/retail/geniusbar/

Schannel errors - appears to be causing blue screens

Hi guys
Every once in a while (a few times a month) our RDS server (server 200r82 hyper-v VM) decides to blue screen and restart.
Each and every time it crashes, we notice hundreds and hundreds of schannel errors appearing just before the crash (event ID 36888)
Well, it did it again this afternoon, and over the last 12 hours we noticed 1008 instances of this error, with 60 odd messages appearing within 0.2 seconds of each other, and 2 minutes before the crash.
I also noticed that just before the crash, there were a handful of services which hung seconds before the logged unexpected shutdown event. These services are as follows.
- UmRDPService
- WPDBusEnum
- UxSMS
- Audio Endpoint Builder
After the crash, it doesnt log any Schannel errors. although, saying this now and just checking again, it looks like its logged 127 instances of the same schannel error, starting from after around 2 hours of bringing the server back online.
Do these Schannel errors cause blue screens/crashes? Or is it something else I should be looking at... I'm at a loss, as there's not a lot more in the way of logs that seem to be telling me what's going on..

Hi EsDood,
Would you please let me know complete message of Event ID
36888? For Event ID 36888, it generally occur if a user tries to access a web site using HTTP but specifies an SSL port in the URL. Please check the Schannel tracing log if find relevant clues.

Please also refer to following thread and check if can help you.

error, Event ID 36888? - IS there a way to Identify what causes Schannel to log error?
In addition, I noticed that a BSOD issue occurred on the Windows Server 2008 R2. Troubleshoot this kind of
kernel crash issue, we need to analyze the crash dump file to narrow down the root cause of the issue. Did you get any dump files? If get, please refer to

BB Desktop Software causes Blue Screen at Windows XP

Hi,
I'm using BB Desktop Software 6.1.0.35 at Windows XP over Lenovo X201 laptop. When I try to sync the adressbook or calendar between my BB(Storm II 9520) and my laptop, it often causes blue screen at my laptop.

Please kindly let me know how can I fix it or please check if there are any defects at your Desktop Software.
If you need, I can send the screenshot to you via email.
Best Regards,

Just unisntall this version and install the desktop version 5.1. That will not give you blue screen infact it is fully compatible with xp
Need any help please let me know

HT201412 Ipad2 has blank blue screen. Itunes does pick it up but restore doesn't work. Flashes yellow screen wit hlogo then back to blue screen.

Ipad 2 has blank blue screen. When turned off goes to black but when hold home/start buttons at same time, flashes on to blue screen. Itunes picks it up and have restored to no avail. Sometimes flashes yellow screen for few seconds with logo then back to blue screen. Have troubleshooted many times by restoring and plugging in/out with itunes but nothing works. Any other advice. It is only 14 months old so just out of warranty. Very frustrating that this expensive piece of well cared for equipment is so unstable and happens just as warranty ends.

MSI X99 SLI Plus - Blue Screen at Log In

After my $2000 computer died, I rebuilt using a new MSI x99 SLI plus motherboard, 5820k cpu, and ddr4 2600 for $1100.
It has been 18 days.
I was questioning the motherboard since the beginning since USB devices seemed to go in and out as if they were being plugged in in the middle of working, but I got around most of the problems by not allowing the PC to go into sleep mode.
This morning I wake up and go to check my email and the computer does a wake-up that is different. The bios screen comes up and then I see "resuming windows..." It gets to the log in screen and I enter my credentials. A few seconds later blue screen and reboot.
I try safe mode - log in, blue screen, reboot
I try system restore to a week ago - log in, blue screen, reboot
The store is not going to take any components back, they have a 15 day return policy and it has been 18 days. Nice!
I am not sure whether or not I can really say it is the motherboard. Maybe it is the GPU, who knows?
Anyone know of a way that I can get the details of that blue screen when I cannot even log into safe mode to look?
What kind of troubleshooting would you try?
I am ready to swallow a shotgun.

a roll back may have fixed it but it just depends when it was last updated! - i mean when was the last time that image you where trying to roll back to last updated was it before your problem started?
Everything was working as of 4:00am Central Time Today (11/7/12).
Blue Screens after log in started as of 9:30am Central Time Today.
There has been no windows update between 4:00am and 9:30am today that I am aware of.
The rollback to restore point was to 11/4/14, which would go well beyond any update if one did occur, which it couldn't without my clicking the install updates button manually.
There was no new hardware installed and no new driver updates done between yesterday and today. I played a few games and went to bed :p
Quote from: badboy2k on 08-November-14, 06:39:33
a blue screen when windows trys to start is usually it running the drive in the wrong mode: enter your BIOS - go to settings - advanced - integrated Perifirals - SATA mode (see if that is in AHCI mode)
I'll double check the BIOS in a bit when I get home from work, but again, I don't see how the BIOS setting would change all by themselves, unless there was a power outage or surge. Neither of those occurred.
I think all signs are pointing to hardware failure. Either the motherboard, GPU, or RAM.
I'll do a memory test and if that doesn't shed light, a reinstall of Windows, if that doesn't fix it, I'm RMAing.

Iphone upgrade has crashed my Iphone and causes blue screen error on PC

I just tried to upgrade my software and half way through my PC crashed. It said a blue screen error had occurred.
Itunes now shows that my phone needs to be restored, but everytime I try to do my PC crashes again. This has now happened three times in 1 hour. I have Itunes v.8.0 on my pc but this hasnt been a problem till now. I am so angry that I have lost everything on my phone due to a problem like this. Can anyone advise how I can restore my phone without totally killing my laptop?

With the blue screen it can be a few things that are interifering with it. First thing unplug anything from the usb ports on your computer and if you have like a logtech webcam make sure it is unplugged and also that if it is built in disable the driver. If you are on a pc you may want to go into device manager and update your usb drivers on your computer.

Recent software updates causes blue screen

I installed Leopard last week and it's been working just fine.
Last night the software update application upadted 5 apps - iTunes, Quicktime, Keychain, and a couple others I can't remember. Since the update I havn't been able to login and use my system - when it starts up it eventually stalls at a blue screen.
I've read reports of people having this issue after upgrading to Leopard, but like I said, I upgraded to Leopard just fine and have been using it for over a week.
I just discussed this with a support agent who suggested I try another archive & install - I'll post the results.
In the meantime, has anyone else run into this?
Also, would Audio Hijack's Instant Hijack (Rogue Amoeba software) and Little Snitch be considered "extensions" that might lead to this issue?

As it turns out, I had an Application enhancer I didn't even know about. I must have installed it a long time ago, tried it, lost interest, and forgot about it.
I followed the steps here: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=306857 and I've managed to boot and login.
