Hanging and going to white screen

I am using Firefox 3.6.13 with XP (with all updates). When I leave Firefox up for a period of time (usually an hour or more though sometimes less than that), Firefox hangs at a all white screen and I can't do anything except open Task Manager and shut it down, then restart it.

Could someone please help me. I have a blackberry 8520 and I recently accidentally put ONLY the keypad in the water but luckily I read that you have to keep it in the sun for 24 hours and it worked, next my charger port broke of then I got it fixed but right after I got it fixed every time I fully charge my phone or it have 2 or more bars in like 10 or 7mins it freezes and their are these lines then it goes into a white screen. I took the battery and put the batter back in the phone worked fine but then the battery went from full to battery drained shutting down?!? What do I do??

  • Curve 8520 keeps freezing and going to white screen

    I recently had my curve replaced after the trackpad stopped working. Now my new curve keeps freezing when I'm on the internet, the screen will get white lines across it which gradually get bigger until the whole screen is white. A reboot doesn't work unless the phone is plugged into the charger and the problem never happens when the phone is on charge.
    I've tried changing the browser settings so JavaScript isn't enabled, I've also reinstalled the software and finally decided to wipe my blackberry and restored it to the file i had saved from my old curve and I'm still getting the same problem.
    I'm not sure whether it's linked to the battery as it also happens when making a call if the battery is low and when I reboot my curve after it's gone to a white screen the battery has usually dropped a few bars (usually from full to 2 bars)
    If anyone has any ideas it would be greatly appreciated!

  • Won't boot and stuck at white screen.

    I've got a late 2009 model MacBook, and it won't start up. It shows the folder with the question mark. I've performed all tests provided by Apple in the manual, but cannot get any farther than the white screen. Takes forever to show the folder with question mark also.
    Things I've tried:
    - Reset by holding power button for 5 seconds.
         When I did this, I got the apple to pop up, but after a couple of minutes it changed to a circle with a dash through it. Not sure what that meant.
    - Reset the PRAM
         After this, I saw the Apple logo, then the little loading circle popped up (this went on for quite a while).
    - Hardware Test
         Selected the language, and then got an alert that said "Apple Hardware Test does not support this machine." Restarted the computer and got the white      screen with the circle with a line through it.
    - Holding down the C key during startup.
         Got a blank white screen. Nothing happened.
    - Rebooting into Safe Mode
         Saw the Apple logo, then waited for about 5 min, then the computer restarted itself.
    The major problem I'm having is that with all of these options I don't get anywhere besides on this white screen. No options are available to choose, so I can't back anything up, select disks to use, etc.

    The hardware test finally worked. It's running and I am performing the extended test now. The initial hardware test concluded no issues. Extended test came up with nothing. Memory isn't full. No clue what's going on.

    Hello, I downloaded an ntfs systemfile from tuxera and used it to convert a usb stick so I could put more than the fat32 4gb on, my Imac froze a while after so I turned it off the on and now I have blue vertical lines on boot up and the a white screen with lots of tine blue symbols after, mouse pointer moves but thats about it.
    Have used R and cmd to get a menu up but once I choose one of the four options my mouse is rendered useless and I cant get any further, have downloaded, to another usb stick recovery disk assisstant and am trying to use that in conjunction with the lion option on the previously mentioned screen, computer was responding really slowly and has now frozen on the terms of software license agreement (maybe the last hurdle!) can anyone pleeeeeease help!!!!!??????

    It's likely that the boot drive is failing, or that there's some other hardware fault. Run the Apple Hardware Test.

    Even if the test is negative, you should make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store to have the machine tested more thoroughly.

  • Hello. When I connect my imac Start, as usual, comes the start signal and then the white screen with the load signal then nothing happens. What could be the problem?

    Presuming you get the chime, most of your Mac hardware is working and has passed the first part of the power-on self-test.
    If the screen comes on, basic graphics is working.
    The dark gray Apple is not present inside the Mac -- it must be loaded from a boot device. If the dark gray Apple appears, at least one of your boot devices has some capabilities. The flower petal/gear moves while Darwin is initializing and loading. If it stops immediately, something is terribly wrong.
    When the screen turns blue, Mac OS X has loaded and your graphics card transitions to Interrupt-driven operation. LoginWindow task draws the login screen, and Mac OS X is ready for login.
    What could be the problem depends on where in the process it stops, and whether the power light is blinking.

  • TS3274 words w/friends has frozen up and displays a white screen.

    words with friends froze up after a play and displays a white screen.  Other apps working ok.

    See if you can force quit the app. Double tap the home button. Flick sideways if needed to get the preview up on your screen. Flick that preview up and off the screen then single tap the home button to exit the mode. Then try your app again.

  • Iphone 3g Hangs and stucks at activation Screen on update to OS 3.0

    Hello Friends,
    My Iphone 3g Hangs and stucks at activation Screen on update to OS 3.0.
    I updated the phone to OS 3.0 last night and to my surpsrise after the OS Completely installs and restarts the phone,the phone then hangs and all i can see is a black screen when the phone is connected to PC.
    As soon as i disconnect, it shows the Itunes-PC Connect image asking for activation.
    Again if a connect back,it hangs and keeps on restarting ..over and over again.
    i tried everything:
    1) Re-Install Itunes 8.2
    2) Re start OS
    3) CHnage USB Cable
    4) Change PC
    5) Keep the phone connected for around 4 hours expecting some miracle to happen still no use.
    ** If i try to donwgrade back to 2.2.1 then it givess error to and not able to downgrade.
    Now i have put myself in a situation wherein i had to switch to other phone.
    The phone is just getting rust as there is no Support/Care center in India.
    Please someone help me out.
    Atleast let me know :
    Is any hardware part involved in activation of phone?

    Close iTunes and unplug iphone
    Search web and download the 2.2.1 ipsw file.
    Go to device manager on PC and delete the USB option for Apple under the hardware options.
    Reboot PC
    Plug in iphone and wait for dreaded connection picture
    hold power button and home button until apple logo appears
    continue to hold home button and release power button until connection picture appears again
    Your PC should now find the iphone in recovery mode
    Now open iTunes and it will prompt you to restore
    Hold the shift button on the keyboard and click the restore button at the same time
    This will allow you to browse for the correct ipsw file
    select the 2.2.1 file that you downloaded
    your iphone will now restore
    Once completed, you will need to resync
    Now you are back to square one but at least have a phone that works
    Now make an appt at the Genius Bar and make them update it for you
    Mine is scheduled for next week

    Thanks for your reply! I must apologise for the quality of my post. I inadvertently posted it before it was corrected.
    I am very disappointed with this iMac. It is only 18 months old and this will be the third visit to the workshop. I had expected more from Apple and from their repair agents. Luckily I have AppleCare.

  • I tried many times to turn it on, it turns and the same white screen appears and the update starts again and shuts down. Please Help me!

    Hello!
    I have a MacBook Air. I have got a software update notification couple of days ago. I've clicked on it today, and it started installing updates.
    But, I have got a notification telling that not all updates were installed successfully, then I have clicked on "Restart" from the notification box. Then my Mac restarted and the white screen with Apple logo and the update progress appeared (like what always happens during updates).
    The problem that while the update progress reached around half the way, my Mac shutdown. I tried many times to turn it on, it turns and the same white screen appears and the update starts again and shuts down.
    Please Help me!
    MacBook Air (11-inch Mid 2009)

    Welcome to Apple Discussions
    You did not state whether you installed the update while on battery (not mains) power. You are warned not to apply certain updates without being connected to a charger & mains power.
    Also remove any attached peripherals.
    Reboot in Repair mode (command-R at start)  and use Disk Tools-Disk Utility-Disk First AId to repair your disk, and as long as you're there repair permissions. Next quit Disk Tools and reinstall the OS. After completing that successfully reboot, log in and do a combo update.
    You must have more than enough (not just enough) empty (free) disk space for the update.

  • Hi, I have an iMac which I just booted up and have a white screen with a blue folder with a question mark blinking on and off. Any help would be appreciated. Tommy

    Hi, I have an iMac which I just booted up and have a white screen with a blue folder with a question mark blinking on and off. Any help would be appreciated. Tommy

    That means your iMac could not find a system to use for startup.  That may mean the internal hard drive has become faulty, or the hard drive mechanism is fine, but the startup volume ("Macintosh HD" unless you renamed it) may have some type of data corruption that makes it unbootable.
    First, you should try resetting PRAM
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1379
    and if that does not help, use this procedure to reset SMC (power management).  If your iMac is from 2008, this is the procedure for Intel (not PowerPC) Macs.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964
    (This forum category is for "iMac (PPC)," so if this iMac is older (with a PowerPC processor), please post back.)
    Disconnect all peripheral devices.  When you connect it back to power, if you have been using a power strip of some type, try connecting it directly to a wall outlet, by itself (at least initially).  Start up with nothing but the power cord connected, then add only standard mouse and keyboard.  If it works, run it that way for a while. 
    If PRAM and SMC reset have no effect, you should insert your Mac OS X installation disc (for the currently installed system) in the optical drive, and restart with the C key held down.  This should get you to the Installer screen, where you can run Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. 
    In Disk Utility, does the internal hard drive appear in the sidebar?  If so, select Macintosh HD in the sidebar and go to the First Aid tab.  Use Repair Disk.  If an error is found, note if Disk Utility was able to fix it or not.
    You can then quit Disk Utility and attempt to restart normally.

  • When I was editing a picture that I reposted on instagram, I hit the edit button and then a white screen appears and randomly shuts down. I have also noticed that my iPod has been crashing about every single 30 minutes!

    When I was editing a picture that I reposted on instagram, I hit the edit button and then a white screen appears and randomly shuts down. I have also noticed that my iPod has been crashing about every single 30 minutes! Please help!

    The iPod crashing when editing a photo is a known bug in iOS 5.1.1.
    For the other problem.
    Try the following:
    - A reset. Nothing is lost
    Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Restore from backup
    - Restore to factory settings/new iPod.
    If you still have the problem that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order

  • IMovie quits on opening backed up iMovies and/or shows white screen- no pic

    OK- I had a problem with my MacBook Pro's use of iDVD to the point that I couldn't burn a decent DVD so I reformatted (yes, extreme but I couldn't even decompress .pkg files anymore!) and before I did- backed up all the iMovie projects and junked the iDVDs for reworking once I was done.
    Now- updated iDVD to the latest 6.0.3 (had been 6.0.1 before) and was all happy.
    Tried to launch iMovie (6.0.2)?
    CRASH!
    No matter what I do- it crashes or opens and shows a WHITE screen (still shows the clips in the time-line but no picture etc).
    What can I do?

    Mystery solved- when you use Apple's software update to update your system with do NOT expect to receive all required updates.
    iMovie 6.0.2 requires QT 7.1.x and the update only delivered QT 7.0.x!
    LOL- all is well now and iMovie is working swimmingly.
