Faulty installation. Blue screen.

Hi
Tried to update 10.9.3. Installation has begun but not finished. During installation, the computer could not reboot - got a blue screen. At this moment I can reboot laptop only in a Safe mode. In Console mode I don't have "root #" (see image). How to fix it? How to cancel the installation? Clarify that a laptop with faulty discrete card and only works on Intel HD.

When I clicked on Firefox, the update bar started but when it stopped Firfox would not open. The blue screen of death popped up and said something about a new installation. We restarted the computer and now Firefox will not open. Help!

When I clicked to open Firefox the update bar appeared and an update loaded. Usually when this happens Firefox will open up when the update is finished. This time it did not open. when I clicked on the icon again the blue screen opened and said something about a new installation and if this was the first time you have seen this screen restart your computer and try again. I restarted the computer and when I clicked on the Firefox icon the "hour glass" would appear like it was trying to open but it never would open. I don't know what else to do.

See below -- the way I asked the question the first time may not be clear. This post was a goof but I can't figure out how to delete it

Blue Screen immediately when I put in installation disk.

Please forgive me as I'm not very computer literate. As soon as I put in the installation CD I get a blue screen with a fatal error message. Since I'm not good at computers I was hoping I can get some direction as to where to start looking in that Blue message to find out what could be lacking in my system. I have a Toshiba lapton with an AMD Turion II Dual Core 2.3 Ghz with 4.0 RAM 64-bit with a ton of storage 2MB. Any ideas? Forgive my ignorance...this is way outta my league.

Some other places to look...

Satellite M70 - blue screen during the WinXP installation

hi
I bought a new M70 with Win XP HOME installed on it!
but i want to install my Win XP PROFESSIONAL on the notebook.
So i put in the WinXPpro-CD and boot from CD/DVD-Drive.
The first blue screen with some information in the bottom grey line come, and every thing looks good, but the screen with the options on which drive i will install the windos-OS did NOT COME!
I only have a black screen and nothing happens!?
The WinXPpro-CD is ok i checked it on other PCs.
hope you can help me soon
thx Houddy

HI
The OEM version of XP you use is simply incompatible with you chipset (SATA), so the installation hangs.
You need to find or create a copy of the XPP CD with OEM drivers for tou SATA chipset, but it's quite difficult to do.
Another solution is to use a floppy with the drivers for your chipset (you can include theses drivers by pressing F6 in the beginning of the setup (third party drivers)
The files for the floppy may be found in the website of the chipset provider

Hello. Today, I was updating my iPod Touch 4th Generation to iOS 6. I unplugged the iPod when it was during the installation because it appeared to be frozen. Now the iPod is stuck at a light blue screen even after I reset it. How do I fix it?

Hello. Today, I was updating my iPod Touch 4th Generation to iOS 6. I unplugged the iPod when it was during the installation because it appeared to be frozen. Now the iPod is stuck at a light blue screen even after I reset it. How do I fix it?

You will need to do a DFU restore by holding the home and power buttons down (while the device is plugged in to your computer) until the device's screen goes black and as soon as the screen goes black, count down from 3 and release the power/sleep button, but keep holding down the home button. Then, iTunes will say the iPod needs to be restored. The restore process will take some time and even though the iPod may appear to be frozen, don't interrupt the restore.

Hi Alex
Please write to us which notebook model you have. Did you upgrade some hardware components? Is some external device connected to your unit while you try to install OS?
Usually every notebook delivered with WXP MCE can be preinstalled with WXP. The drivers are the same.

Equium A100-549: Blue Screen error during Recovery CD installation

Hey,
I recently purchased a Toshiba laptop, everything worked perfectly until my laptop was attacked. I got rid of the virus and went to reformat due to lots of problems occurring. The main one being a error has accursed and "Blah Blah" program needs to close. Also i kept getting loads of errors.
http://aumha.org/win5/kbestop.htm
Them types.
Now then the Toshiba reformatting disk said simply put the disk into the CD drive and turn off. I did this, great. The toshiba disk said press F12 upon starting and click run the CD. The CD fires up and gets half way thro reformatting.
I suddenly get a blue screen error. I thought oh well ill reboot and carry on. This is where the problem started. Because i was half way thro deleting/reinstalling windows i was missing some files. I go to reinstall or try to use the Toshiba CD I get a blue screen error.
0x00000050: PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA
(Click to consult the online Win XP Resource Kit article, or see Windows 2000 Professional Resource Kit, p. 1548.)
Requested data was not in memory. An invalid system memory address was referenced. Defective memory (including main memory, L2 RAM cache, video RAM) or incompatible software (including remote control and antivirus software) might cause this Stop message, as may other hardware problems (e.g., incorrect SCSI termination or a flawed PCI card).
Any ideas what i can do? I don't want to send the laptop back to Toshiba to fix however im thinking this is the only way out.
Please if repplying try to keep technical lanuage to a minnium. Many thanks, Dan.

Hi
Its very strange because the installation from the Toshiba recovery CD should works properly and without any Blue screen messages.
Usually if the BSOD appears if there is a serious software problem or something wrong with the hardware.
I dont think that the software on the recovery CD could be corrupt.
Did you try to install the OS from original Microsoft Windows CD? It would be very interesting to know if the blue screen will also appear.
However, I think your notebook is new and the warranty is valid. In my opinion you should ask the Toshiba service partner for the help because the guys could start the diagnostic test and could locate the fault.

Blue screen crash upon installation

hi im doing a rebuild on my desktop and iv done a whole reset and board update.
i have a
ASUS P5N-T Deluxe motherboard
Intel core 2 duo
Nvidia GeForce XFX 8800 GTS card
MAXTOR HDD 500GB
sony DVD/CD RW
when starting up my desktop i start the installation of my windows 7 home premium and everything go great the black screen with the grey loading bars finishes and then the microsoft loading bar appears and finishes and about 5-10 seconds in the next
screen with the background picture goes to a blue screen which then says had to force shut down to protect computer and say other things like if this is first set up and thing like that and then loads of numbered codes at the bottom.
i am very confused as i am at a dead end of how to reslove this issue

Hi,
Since this happens during the installation process, this should be a hardware issue or something wrong with the installation media, I suggest to install with another installation media if possible and reset the BIOS meanwhile.
As how to reset the BIOS, you can refer to the guideline from ASUS.

During installation of Windows 8.1, I get blue screen and can't proceed any further..

I'm trying to install Win 8.1 via Bootcamp 5.1 on my late 2012 3.4 i7 iMac. I'm installing from a Win 8.1 OEM DVD using an optical drive.
The partitioning process is fine, I have the latest windows support software on an MS-DOS (FAT) USB stick.
The install seems to be going fine, then up comes a blue screen (with mouse functionality) but no prompt/warning/error messages.
At this point I have no other option to restart and when I hold down the al key on start up, the Windows partition is not available.
Any ideas anyone?

It looks like that the installation process of one of the applications have caused some trouble. One of them may have changed or added kext files.
For that, the Window server crashed if you try to open a non Apple application like Firefox
Start the system in safe mode by holding the shift key on power on.
If save mode is reached, perform a permissions repair with the Disk Utility.
Don't bother about upcoming warnings like "could not repair file xy" as that occur cause you use the tool on a running system and opened files can not get touched by the tool.
After repair is done reboot system to normal and try to open Firefox.
If the problem persits, please report back here.

Acrobat 9 Pro blue-screens during installation (registration) and bluescreens during uninstall

I tried to install Acrobat 9 Pro. It got to the registration part and Acrobat crashed my Win 7 laptop with a PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA (error 0x50 on bluescreen). Attempting to uninstall results in the same error/blue screen. I can do an installation repair, which does complete, but when I start Adobe Acrobat, it still brings up Acrobat and seems to work fine only for about 10 seconds beore it bluescreens with the same error. I still cannot uninstall or run Acrobat without bluescreening. I can run Adobe Reader, Photoshop CS5, Lightroom 4 and do anything I usually do on my laptop without any issues. However, if I try to use Acrobat, it crashes my laptop every time. I once was able to bring up the option to update the software and I saw some message about registration or something being disabled, but it crashed immediately so I was unable to fully read the message.

What has happened is that you have selected to install the PDF add-on which will not run alongside your version of Acrobat. Without warning, the installation just uninstalls the incompatible full version of Acrobat.
I don't think you can just uninstall the add-on so you will need to uninstall Rh, reinstall Acrobat 9 then reinstall Rh deselecting the add-on.
I am not sure that will be entirely trouble free as Word has to be compatible with Acrobat and I don't know if your two versions are.
It's not a way of forcing you to upgrade but I do agree it could be handled better.

Re-installation issues - Stuck at blue screen -Desperate

I am in a desperate situation now & badly need help.
My Mac now hangs & cannot start up. It hangs at the blue color screen stage.
I humbly & deperately seek answers to the following questions:
QUESTIONS:
1. What is the best way to start it up ?
2. When do put in the installation disk ?
3. If I were to do erase & install, how do I backup all my safari bookmarks ?
4. If I were to do erase & install, how do I backup all my iTunes album artwork & songs including those I bought from iTunes Store ?
5. If I were to do erase & install, how do I backup all my settings in iPhoto ?
6. Can I restore the whole system back to how it was 2 weeks ago using Time Machine ? Is it recommended ? And how do I do that ?
Many Thanks

Before you jump to an Erase and Install, keep in mind that when your computer boots to the blue screen and stops it usually points to an easily fixable issue.
Try a Safe Boot. Power on your computer and hold down the Shift key during startup. It will take longer than normal to startup but will eventually boot into Safe Mode. If you get that far go to System Preferences -> Accounts. When in accounts, with your account selected on the left hand side, select Login Items at the top of the window. Select and remove all the items from the list by clicking on the Minus button at the bottom of the list. Once complete, restart as you normally would and see if the issue persists. If it does the next step would be booting to the install disk and running Disk Utility. In disk utility you would select Macintosh HD on the left, or the first indented volume, and then select First Aid. At the bottom of the window click on Repair Disk Permissions. Once complete for safety sake, click on Repair Disk. Once complete, restart as you normally would.
If the problem persists at that point then you're looking at reinstalling.

Why am I getting a blue screen during windows support software installation?

After intalling windows 7 x64 (using boot camp 5.1), when I come to install windows support software to set up apple drivers for windows to run on my MacBook pro (late 2013), after installing a good number of drivers, I get suddenly a blue screen!....
What can I do, once windows is not strting up? It started well, but wth no proper drivers. Thanks.

I guess the first thing I would do would be to boot up using the original installation DVD and correct the permissions. That may not be the problem at all, it could be an incomplete upgrade install but at least you would know it isn't a permissions problem. I'd also run or verify the hard disk using this method.
How is it done? Turn machine on. Insert DVD 1 of the Install Disks, restart the machine, hold down the Command and the C keys (that tells the machine to look to the Rom drive and boot from it). Once it is up (will take a long minute or so...) go up to the top left where the install menu buttons are listed, look for the disk utility and run it. Tell it to verify and repair the disk and repair the permissions. Once done, quit the Disk Utility and select the restart option. Wait to see if your original desktop comes back.
If not, then you'll need to either "back out" the upgrade you installed or install your backup. If you don't have a backup you'll probably have to re-install OS X all over again (and probably lose all your previous data, apps, etc.). Let's hope it clears up first before you have to re-install.

Blue screen error (BSOD) during and after installation of Windows 7

I had to reinstall Windows 7 via the recovery partition. During the installation I kept getting Blue screen errors and even now I am still getting BSOD within minutes. I have no problem in safe mode.
My laptop is a Satellite C650D-12C. I wanted to update BIOS but I can't in safe mode. What should I do next?

Recovery image saved on HDD is tested so everything should be OK with recovery image installation.
What you can try is to use Microsoft installation disc to see if the same will happen again.
If yes, Im afraid you need professional help with this. Notebook has probably valid warranty so the service guys should check this.
Have you created recovery DVD?
BTW: I think BIOS update is not solution. Recovery installation must work with this original BIOS version.

D20 - 4158 with Marvel Raid + windows 7 failed to restart (Blue screen) after installation

I installed Windows 7 64 bit by providing the Marvell RAID driver downloaded from http://support.lenovo.com/en_US/downloads/detail.page?&LegacyDocID=MIGR-73716. The installation goes fine, when the computer restarts, the windows 7 logo flashes and then immediately the blue screen comes and then the computer restarts. This continues repeatedly.
I checked the Raid, we have one array with Raid 0 configuration. I could not find out why the OS installation goes fine but it fails to restart
Kindly provide some technical input.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

After double checking the link you provided....I'm confused on your setup. Can you reiterate which drives you have in the system and which ports they are connected to?
For a D20, you should have all HDDs attached to the blue ports. These ports route directly back to the Marvell controller. Then during the OS install, you need to supply the Marvell driver (not the Intel RAID driver that you specified in your link).
The only reason you would supply the drive you listed in your link is if you're attempting to run HDDs off the black ports on the system. This will work (but is not supported) for regualar HDDs in a non-RAID config. The D20 utilizes the ICH10, not the ICH10R, so there is no way to utilize RAID off these ports. The black ports are intended for ODD use only.
So I'm guessing you either have drives connected incorrectly, or you were attempting to provide the incorrect driver during the OS installation.

Blue screen apears on Satellite A40 after installation from recovery CD

Hi
I have a Toshiba A40 and I was trying to recover the system back to factory setting with the product recovery CDs. The CD booted the systems and prompted for installation which was then completed and asked to restart the computer.
However, after restart, the PC is not booting. A blue screen appears with a message that 'Windows cannot be started due to some problem. Please check for virus or check the harddisk'.
I then booted the PC with another bootable CD-disk and checked for latest anti-virus which shows nothing. Then I run SCANDISK on hard drive and it also doesn show any problems.
Please could anyone advice?
Thanks in advance.

Hi
Maybe this is a stupid question but did you use the right Toshiba Recovery CD designed especially for the Sat A40 notebook?
I read many threads here in the forum about people who has recovered or tired to recover the own notebook with different and wrong Toshiba recovery CDs.
After such procedure the notebook will not run correctly and the BSOD could appears because the preinstalled drivers on the Tosh image are not compatible with the notebook!
So be careful!

Faulty installation. Blue screen.
