Got the 'Blue Screen of Death' and now my 5S is dead

holding down the home button and the power button together does nothing- i only got this phone on monday- it had to be restarted a few times because it wouldn't 'wake up' using the sleep button and then today i had the 'blue screen' 3 times but a hard restart got it going- until now

In which case its still under full warranty and you should be able to get a repacement at the place of purchase.
Take it back and ask for a replacement. It seems to be there's some factory defect to it.

  • When I open FireFox i get the blue screen of death and then vista restarts. I get to login and then afterthe welcome window it crashes and restarts again. I can open in safe mode but if I open firefox again it restarts this loop.

    The other day I opened firefox after the latest update in September. Firefox then closes and then i get logged off and vista(32 bit) restarts. I get back to login and when I try to login it gives me the blue screen and restarts again with the selection screen (start in safe mode....)I was able to login on safe mode and then on admin afterwards. Thinking the problem was just an error I went back and opened firefox on my account and the loop started again. I was forced to remove firefox but I want ti back and I want to know how this can be fixed so I can put it back on my computer.

    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

  • My Macbook Pro got the grey screen of death (kernel panic) and now it won't even turn on

    Hey.
    Well my macbook pro just got the grey screen of death and upon doing some research I unerstan that it's a kernel panic. However my issue is that my laptop won't reboot, at all. Whenever I try to press the power buttons, the external buttons will light up and the you can hear it running (barely, very low) but nothing else happens. My screen doesnt turn on and no noise comes from the computer to indicate it turning on. However if I hold the power button again it'll act as if shutting down (the noise). I've tried to look online but I havent seen any soluctions for my specific issue.
    Also note: I recently got it sent in for repairs and it was sent to apple, I was told they replaced both fans and the motherboard, however I'm not sure if that would affect it.
    Anyways, my mac is the world to me and I would hate to have to lose it, anyone have any solutions?

  • What is nipalk.sys and why does it give me the Blue Screen of Death?

    Recently I purchased a 6211 USB data acquistion unit.  Everything worked fine until one day Windows Explorer crashed (we all know how rare that kind of event is...).  When I re-booted, I got the Blue Screen of Death, with a message about nipalk.sys being the culprit.  I booted in Safe Mode and re-named this file, and then was able to boot normally and re-install the driver software for the 6211, and everything was fine...for about a week, when Windows Explorer did it again (Oops!). 
    Does anyone know:
        1.  Which exact part of the install supplies nipalk.sys?  It is a huge install with multiple parts accross 2 CDs.  I could save a lot of time if I could restrict the install to just repairing the damage.
        2.  Can I just make a copy of nipalk.sys and tuck it away in some corner of my hard drive to use as a replacement when this happens?
        3.  I'm guessing that nipalk.sys is used by the little system tray icon that watches out for DAQ devices to be plugged into my USB.  Is this guess correct?  Can I turn this feature off for the 99% of the time I'm not using my laptop for data acquisition?  Will that protect me against the gorking of nipalk.sys when Explorer goes down?
        4.  What is this driver doing that its file disk becomes corrupted during a Windows Explorer crash?

    Paul-
    OK.  When I can afford the time, I will try removing all NI software and re-installing.  I have LabVIEW 8.0, DAQmx (of course), NI Vision development, and IMAQ. 
    I also had LabVIEW 7.1 on my machine because it was too much trouble to
    remove it when I upgraded to 8.0  I have since removed 7.1, but I think there are still a lot of older versions of the "extras" that came along with it still lurking on my hard drive....
    I was hoping for some guidance for a short-term "work around:"
    1.  If I just re-install DAQmx, can I make a copy of nipalk.sys and store it somewhere as a back-up to avoid the painfully long 2 CD re-install of DAQmx?
    2.  If the answer to 1 is "no", then exactly what part of DAQmx installs nipalk.sys?  It is a multi-part install, and if I know which part is responsible for nipalk.sys, I can repair just that and save a lot of time.
    To answer your questions about version:  I'm not sure.  I don't have convenient access to the disks at the moment, but they came with my 6211, which I ordered in May of 2007.  I would be tempted to call it "the latest", but DAQmx seems to get updated quite frequently, so let's just call it a "recent" version.
    Thanks,
    -Geoff

  • 10.5 Install Brings the Blue Screen of Death

    Hi,
    I could really use some help. I just tried to upgrade from 10.4.11 to 10.5. I'm on a power pc mac (12" G4) with 1.67 GHz. Here's a rundown of what I've done so far.
    1. Upgraded from 10.5 disc - went all the way through, but upon restart, i got the blue screen of death. I could see and move the cursor but nothing else.
    2. Manually shut down. Restarted with installation disc and ran disk utility - no disk errors or permissions errors.
    3. Restarted again with internal drive as startup disk. Again, blue screen of death.
    4. Tried to reset pram (reset-nvram and reset-all). Again, blue screen of death.
    5. Went back to install disc and re-installed 10.5. Again, went through successfully. Upon restart, yet again the blue screen of death. This time, the cursor is the colored spinning wheel. I've let it go overnight in case in needed a little time and it's still there.
    PLEASE HELP! I've backed up everything, but there are a handful of files I neglected to backup. Not life-changing, but would be good to salvage.
    Thanks in advance for any advice you can offer.
    J-

    I did, but didn't find this until today.

    I had already given up on a straight upgrade and instead went for the archive and install option which has worked without a hitch. All is well. Has even resolved my synching woes with my treo. Note that you should make sure you have enough drive space since I'm now down to a paltry 3GB when I once had about 12GB.

  • Blue screen of death and restart.

    Hi, I'm running Windows 7 through Boot Camp. I recently did updates for Windows 7 and had no issues. I use Windows 7 for online gaming only, prior to the new updates I had no issues. In the last two days I have experienced the blue screen of death and had my system restart back to the Apple OS. I then have to restart the computer to launch Boot Camp for Windows. Is ther anyone else having this issue? Or should I conduct a restore and prior to the recent updates?

    Any update regarding this issue?

  • ITunes and the blue screen of death.

    Over about the past week now iTunes has been giving me this error when I try to disconnect/eject my iPod from with in iTunes.
    +"The iPod cannot be ejected because it contains files that are in use by another application."+
    It also will not allow me to eject it from the Safely Remove Hardware function on the task bar.
    When I then try to close down iTunes it gives me the blue screen of death. I have the error code which corresponds with it, and the code is one which mentions Removable Media Devices as the reason for the error.
    I've read a bit about this, and tried a few things. But to no avail.
    I'm going to move all the files off of my iPod and reset the iPod itself when I get home.
    Short of that, is there anything else which may fix this problem?
    Thank You

    One thing to check is if you have any new or previously updated anti virus software.
    It could be trying to scan the ipod while itunes is trying to sync to it.

  • Having an intermittent issue where my iMac blanks out on me. On restarting I get bands running down the screen with pixels jumping around, then the white screen of death and nothing... Wouldn't restart all weekend, now fine..? any ideas whats wrong?

    Having an intermittent issue where my iMac blanks out on me. On restarting I get several bands running down the screen with pixels jumping around within the bands, then the white screen of death and nothing... This happens intermittently and usually restarts OK. Happened again three days ago and wouldn't restart for two days (again the bands/pixels etc) but now operating fine? Any ideas whats wrong with my iMac and what the solution may be? Also gets very hot from time to time, particularly if I'm playing music/watching youtube/movies for extended periods. Mac is 3.5 years old, running OS X 10.6.8, processor 3.4 GHz i7 memory 8GB 1333 MHz DDR3

  • Notebook with blue screen of death and HP Ceement errors

    Hello, I am using:
    Product name: HP Pavilion g7 Notebook PC
    Product number: QE310UA#ABA
    Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit Service Pack 1
    I have been having a few message/errors lately and suspect they are related
    1) The "blue screen of death" has shut down operations a few times now, that I have seen. When it reboots, all my passwords are gone, all new log ins are required. I know it's been happening more than I see because my passwords will dissapear while I am away from my laptop and I had not seen it.
    2) Error message "HP CEEment has stopped working, windows is looking for a solution to solve this problem", comes up a lot. Daily, usually twice at a time. I googled this and a few "answers" said to look at your firewall and to "allow" HP Ceement. I called Norton and they showed me that it is allowed, so they are not the issue and to contact HP, hence why I am here.
    3) Not sure if this last one is part of the issue, but it has come up more than once lately. Error "Your current settings do not allow file to be downloaded". I ssupect when the computer reboots after the blue screen the security is automatically heightened and that is why I got this, as well as loose passwords and a couple other "secruity level" type problems.
    Thanks for the help, Amy

    Welcome to the HP Community Forum.
    I can offer the following in hopes that it may help.
    First, a bit about the CEEment program:
    CEEment Overview
    Excerpted:
    CEEment stands for Customer Experience Enhancement. CEEment (HPCEE.exe) is the reporting tool that HP uses to collect and study anonymous data. You can activate CEEment when you set up your computer. Or, you can activate using HP Advisor or HP Support Assistant at any time.
    Commentary
    It might be that the CEEment program is not the direct cause of the problem, that is, the issue might be symptomatic of the underlying problems -- it may be part of the train wreck, so-to-speak.
    In any case, while the system is up and running you can try the following to fix the issue or to at least try to eliminate the CEEment program from the mix.
    Download Install a new copy of the latest version of the HP Support Assistant on your system:
    HP Support Assistant
    If you have ‘Admin’ control, you may highlight the package and “double-click” to install it, else Right-Click, Select run as Administrator and install.
    Reboot the system
    If you like, you can switch OFF the CEEment program and the other checks that HP Support Assistant performs on your system.
    Example (HP Support Assistant Version 7.4.45.4)
    Open the HP Support Assistant > Settings >
    Scroll down to Warranty and Services >
    Next to Check warranty now >>
    CHECK No, I do not want to send this data >
    Scroll down to Would you like to share anonymous usage data with HP? >
    CHECK No >
    Under Welcome Screen (if necessary) >>
    UNCHECK Show a welcome screen when I open HP Support Assistant >
    Click Save

    You may want to create an extra / new account with administrator privileges on the computer in case the issue is related in some way to your account.
    You do want to make sure you have your personal data backed up -- make an extra effort to make sure your critical data is backed up somewhere other than on the computer.  Make a copy of those files to a USB drive or to the Cloud.  Make sure you include your bookmarks.

  • Why is Encore 6.0 giving me the "blue screen of death" when I try to create a menu?

    When I purchased my student edition 6.0 (which I love by the way), Encore did not have any of the libraries loaded up on it. After reading some discussions, I downloaded the missing folders.
    Now, when I try to create a menu, my computer shuts down and gives me "the blue screen of death" as they call it (a blue screen with white writting, counting up to 100%, and saying Windows is preparing to crash...or something about the hard drive crashing....I can't remember because it goes off the screen so quickly).
    I've done this several times - my computer only does this when I try to create a menu in encore, and not in any other part of encore. It hasn't happened in any of the other programs either (Premiere Pro and Audition are the only other programs I have used so far), or any other times I have my laptop.
    Because of this, I am not too concerned since it seems Encore is the problem. However, I do not want any other problems to escalade from this either.
    Am I doing something wrong? Can someone please help me? I'm working on my Senior Thesis (a video) this year, and I really really cannot afford to have my computer crash on me.
    Please and thank you,
    Meghin

  • HP PSC 2355 Blue screen of Death and Error message/ blinking lights.

    Hello, I have a HP PSC2355 that we recently moved, after we moved it started randomly locking up with the Blue Screen Of Death (BSOD), it would give an error:0X880529ec on the BSOD, further down the screen were the characters 1:H+x?+  The (ON) light was Blinking Green, the (!) light was blinking orange.  This will happen regardless if the PC was on or not, it will happen when trying to print, sometimes only getting 1" of print at the top of the page.  Currently running Windows XP, SP3 connected via USB.  I highly doubt it is a PC issue as it will happen when trying to use it as a standalone copier.  Sounds internal to me, I do have electronics experience ( I repair televisions )  If someone has any ideas, let me know.....
    I might also add, you dont have to be printing for the error to crop up, you can just plug it in and wait, later you will see the BSOD and the blinking lights.
    Message Edited by lesterl on 07-04-2009 06:49 AM

    Well, decided to try to print from another computer, d/l the smaller driver only package (26meg), did a fresh install after finally getting the printer to stay on for a few minutes, it took forever on the first part of 8 on the installer (cable already plugged in), and it has been on for many hours now, printed many things, yet to have an error.  Dont know if the driver installation did anything with the firmware on the unit or not. 
    Differences:
    Celeron Laptop (virus/trojan free) now
    Was on a P4 desktop that had not been so lucky with the trojan/viruses.

    Dunno, time will tell.......

  • Blue Screen of Death and no XP CDs - Satellite M70

    Hi.
    I've got a Toshiba Satellite M70 that displays the Blue Screen of Death directly upon startup. It reads an error of 0x000000ED stating an unmountable error as the specific problem.
    Unfortunately, I've no Windows XP CD to restore my computer. I do have the Toshiba Product Recovery CD, but that seems like it will simply format my computer, and I have important data I absolutely do not want to delete from my hard drive.
    I cannot start in safe mode; Blue Screen of Death appears straightaway upon startup. If I try to get int through F8, Advanced Options appear but after selecting system restore it goes back to BSOD. I've also tried burning an ISO file for recovery, and the computer went into Windows Setup but hangs on "Setup is starting Windows".
    Any idea what the trouble could be? And how can I fix this problem without deleting any info on my computer?
    Thx.

    The best option would be to remove the HDD and connect it to another PC using a USB 2.5" HDD Adapter. The HDD will appear as another Drive letter (E: for example) and you will be able to copy your data. Then you put the HDD back in and run Recovery.
    If its simply a File System corruption problem, you could try running CHKDSK /F to fix it. You will need a retail version of the XP CD to do a CHKDSK from the Repair Console. Or you can create a Live Bootable XP CD which loads XP directly off a CD (Google BartPE) and run CHKDSK.
    Otherwise the HDD may have bad sectors. You can use the Advanced test in Hitachi DFT to check the surface. But you should back up your data first, the HDD could get worse if you stress it out.

  • How to fix the Blue Screen of Death for iPhone 5S?

    I have an iPhone 5S and I never got water on it, dropped it, or inflicted any kind of damage upon it. But one day when I turned it on it kept getting this blue screen and then restarting CONSTANTLY. This is referred to as the Blue Screen of Death (BSOD). Does anyone know how to actually fix this problem besides just restoring the phone (I already tried that.)

    Hi ..
    If you restored the iPhone to factory settings and it still won't startup correctly, make a reservation at a Genius Bar.
