I get a blue screen by just connecting my Megastick 511

I have just bought MSI Megastick 511 256 Lite USB 2.0. I use Win XP Pro SP2.
If I just connect the Megastick to the USB port I get bluescreens (for example
IRQ LESS OR EQUAL) and after reseting the computer the same thing happened again.
I tried formating the drive by starting the update utility and then while it was searching
for the device I connected the stick.
Even after this I can't connect the Stick to the USB port without crashing the whole system.
I really hope that I don't have to run the update utility if I wan't to connect the stick.

well, try it on another system, see if the same thing happens. if so, then your Stick may be faulty...
I have now been able to test it on another system wich also has Win XP.
Result there was no such problem whatsoever on that system. I could both plug (both the MP3 switched on and off)
and unplug it without going through the STOP routine via the icon shortcut and all this without crashing the system.
On my system I get in most cases bluescreen with the message IRQL_LESS_OR_NOT_EQUAL when I plug it in. There has been one exception and then I had the stick switched of. If I just unplug it without first STOP it I always get bluescreen.
But when I plug in it the sticj shows a computer logo and the text connected so it seems to intiallally communicate with the computer.
I have tried USB port on both the Motherboard USB ports and USB ports on a separate PCI card wiith the same result.
I wonder is a MP3 player just a USB memory device from the computers point of view? My experience with pure USB memory is that they are just to be plugged and unplugged without any software like the STOP utility. How does this MP3 player differs from other MP3 players regardinf how it's seen from the computer?

  • Get the blue screen but the TV doesnt find the signal from my mac via hdmi

    Before my mac could connect to my TV Samsungs LE32B350 without any problem, but now it just keep saying no signal from the tv. I get a blue screen when I connect the hdmi on the laptop for one sec then nothing happens. I have tried search for more screens but aint finding anything.
    Please help me

    Unfortunately older G4 minis are very touchy about certain hi-res monitors when run from DVI. Hi-res in this case means any monitor whose resolution causes the pixel clock to be above 135 MHz. It is normally the case that 1680 x 1050 timing will have a pixel clock above 135 MHz, although there is no way to observe that directly from within OS X.
    There are only two known work-arounds for the issue. One is to run the monitor over a VGA interface. The other is to use a program like SwitchRes X to lower the pixel clock below 135 MHz. If you choose to do the latter, write back if you'd like some guidance on how to do that.

  • Every time I connect my Iphone 4 to my Dell laptop I get a 'blue screen of death' any ideas how to solve this?

    For some reason, my iphone 4, and laptop don't seem to like each other. Every time I try and connect it, I get a 'blue screen of death' saying that my laptop is shutting down to prevent damage. Help?

    Sean,
    Is there anything else you can tell us about the computer and phone?
    - Is this a new problem? Happening since new iTunes? Has it previously worked fine in the past?
    - How old is the laptop? What kind is it? What is the memory capacity? How much room left on Hard Drive?
    - Do you have any other iOS devices to test out this problem with?
    Another question: What are you trying to connect it to your computer for? Apple has made it quite easy to do essentially anything for you over the air. Just a thought.

  • I am trying to connect my iPad to my windows pc ( xp) but it does not recognise the iPad and I get a blue screen error causing the pc to shut down. Any ideas

    I am still not able to connect my iPad 2 to my Pc ( windows xp). When I try to do so I get a blue screen error and the computer shuts down. I have reinstalled iTunes. iPod works fine. Any ideas?

    Not sure, but try these.
    Disable your firewall and anitvirus software temporarily. 
    Restart the iPad by holding down on the Sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut Off. To power up hold the Sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
    Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time (for about 10-15 seconds) until the Apple logo appears (ignore the red slider), then let go of the buttons.

  • IQ770 All other users logging on just get a blue screen

    I have no problem logging on to the PC with my user account, but when any other user that I set up (or the Guest logon) attempts to log it says "Wecome" and then goes to a blue screen and that's it (even if the new User account is set up with Administrator privileges).  If I do a CTL-ALT-DEL at that point it will bring up the screen that allows me to Switch User or shut down the PC - if I switch to my user account it says the other user is logged on but they just get the blue screen.  Anyone have any idea what is going on or how to fix it?  Thanks much.

    Might be a virus.
    I suggest creating a new account again, and wiping out their accounts if their data is saved.
    If this doesn't work, either System Restore or System Recovery.
    I have more HP devices than you'd expect.
    1 HP TouchPad 32 GB with Android
    2 HP Touchsmarts (310-1000z and IQ527)
    2 HP Printers (J6480 and J5750)
    1 Laptop (HP DV6253CL)
    Have at least some experience in each of those devices, and i'll do my best to help you.
    Kudos if I helped!

  • Itunes crashed too Blue Screen when I connect Ipod to computer

    My Itunes crashes to the Windows blue screen of death whenever I connect my Ipod to Itunes. I have ran tried both the solutions that are posted in the support section of this website, but none of those solutions seemed to work. I have an Ipod Classic and am running the latest version of Itunes (8.02 I think). The error code that comes up in the blue screen is:
    STOP 0x0000007F (0x00000008, 0x80154000, 0x00000000, 0x00000000)
    Any help would be greatly appreciated, as this is quite frustrating.

    Did you follow through all the links on the page?
    You need to give information about exactly what you have tried in order for someone to help you.
    I do not have an iPhone and know nothing about them so I can't give detailed help.
    In general you tend to get BSOD with low level problems such as drivers or hardware issues. Are you up to date with the downloads from computer manufacturer's download site for your model of computer? If you follow the links there are various suggestions about the sorts of things that could cause trouble.
    If you are getting a blue screen stop, it would help if you could post the exact error message. It should be some sort of numbers and text -
    0x(zeros/letters/numbers) (CAPSANDUNDERSCORES)
    For example:
    Stop 0x05 (INVALIDPROCESS_ATTACHATTEMPT)
    Also is a file name mentioned in the error message? If so give the exact file name. This is very important as it may identify the driver causing the trouble.
    if you're not seeing a blue screen (or just a flash of one), you can use this technique to make hidden blue screens appear:
    1) Open your system control panel (Start->Control Panels->System).
    2) Select the "Advanced" tab.
    3) Click the "Settings" button in the "Startup and Recovery" section
    4) Verify that under "System Failure" the "Automatically restart" checkbox is not checked.

  • Blue screen error when connecting an ethernet cable

    I have a Compaq Presario 5300US desktop that I'm trying to upgrade.  It has 512mb (max) of memory and a newer video card than the factory one.  I installed Vista Home Basic on it with no problems.  I also installed a pci ethernet card along with the Vista drivers that came with it.  I checked tha card's properties in "device manager" and it said "This device is working properly".  I haven't plugged in an ethernet cable to the card at this point.  Everything is working OK, but as soon as I try to connect the card to my router, I get a blue screen with this message:
    Hardware Malfunction
    NMI: Parity Check / Memory Parity Error
    *** The system has halted***
    I don't get any memory errors as long as I don't try to use the ethernet card.

    Hello @larrycarol99,
    I understand that after upgrading your computer when you plug in an ethernet cord you get a hardware malfunction error. I am providing you with a Microsoft Support document: Hardware Malfunction Results in System Error Message that explains what causes that error and provides steps on fixing it. I am also including a link to the Compaq Presario 5300US Desktop PC Drivers page, which unfortunately does not have any drivers for your computer running Windows Vista.
    I hope this helps. Thank you for posting on the HP Forums. Have a great day!
    Please click the "Thumbs Up" on the bottom right of this post to say thank you if you appreciate the support I provide!
    Also be sure to mark my post as “Accept as Solution" if you feel my post solved your issue, it will help others who face the same challenge find the same solution.

  • I'm getting "MACHINE_CHECK_EXCEPTION" blue screens

    But this is not the same as the other guys :/  
    this computer is about 3 months old and just started to get this error 2 days ago..."MACHINE_CHECK_EXCEPTION"  What the hell does that mean???
    I was started a game, went to the track to start racing and I was sitting at 2 frames per second.  For 3 months with this computer I've been getting avg of 100-140fps.  So i turn the game off, as soon as i turn it off i get a Blue screen then it rebooted!!!  It rebooted fine at that point.  I try another game UT2004, play for about 30 mins, shut off the game, BAM!!!! Blue screen again!!! I figure, "ok i need to reinstall xp".
    So i reinstall xp, I load the K8N Neo mobo drivers, reboot, works fine.  Install Audio Drivers, I get a blue screen "MACHINE_CHECK_EXCEPTION" on boot, I uninstall it, works fine.  I install SP1, blue screen"MACHINE_CHECK_EXCEPTION" on reboot, I uninstall and install SP2, works fine. Odd?  Yes, I think so.... Now I've tried all kinds of combos here between the BIOS and whats installed.  Most commonly ON board sound enabled, and the sound drivers NOT installed, i will not get a Blue screen...Most commonly.  Out of about 50 reboots to test this theory, when every i install the sound device's drivers i get the error.  So i'm thinking it has something to do with the drivers are conflicting with the hardware.  But, this same computer has been working fine for 3 months prior to 2 days ago.  I dont get it!!! Did my mobo go bad?  Is there anything out there that can fix this, something i need to look at.  I shouldn't have to use a sound card because the mobo's onboard sound is suppose to be fine.  Any help please!  
    Thanks

    interesting... machine_check_exception is a hardware related issue. typically caused with hardware and pentium processors, buti guess in your case its a little different. straighe from microsoft: "A machine check exception occurs when Windows XP and your hardware platform cannot recover from a hardware error so that the system can continue to run successfully and reliably. More specific diagnosis of machine check exceptions is difficult, and there is no general solution." You've got a beast of a computer there, so i really don't see why you'd be having much problem... i've heard overclocking is a common cause of this error, so if you are... change that. If that doesn't do it it could be your power supply, over heating, or bad memory. "
    I'm not overclocking, and he did menition "bad Memory"  So in moving that around I guess I'll have to try one stick at a time or both?

  • I have a new iPhone 4 and every time I plug it into my laptop I get the "blue screen of death", it didn't do this the first time because I downloaded all my music from iTunes but ever since it has done this.  Anybody have any insight?

    I have an iPhone 4 and downloaded all my iTunes music to it.  Now when I connect it to my laptop I automatically get the "blue screen of death", does anyone have any insight into this problem?

    This will happen if you have photos in your camera roll and an out-of-date scanner or webcam driver. See this: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1502

  • Ipad 2 is getting a blue screen of death

    Just a couple of days ago, my Ipad has started getting a blue screen of death. It gets a blue screen, and then shuts itself off. When it restarts, it's unresponsive for about 4-5 minutes before letting me using it again. When it lets me use it again, I have about 10 minutes before it starts all over. I'm hoping this is something that can be fixed whether hardware or software is the problem. I definitely don't want to have to spend $700 for the new iPad as good as it may be. I'm also serving in Manama, Bahrain for the next couple of years, and this island is no where near an Apple store.

    I would try to reset the iPad via iTunes, I don't think the problem is software based thou. I once had a mac mini which behaved simularly, the problem disapered when I changed the RAM, this isn't possible on the iPad thou.
    In the end, you probably have to do what Johnathan states.
    edit: I dont know if it's still this way, but ealier Apple have been giving world wide warrenty on thier mobile devices.

  • After starting iTunes 11, I get a blue screen error

    So after I updated my iTunes to v11, it started up and it was great! Then I rebooted my PC. After logging in, I started iTunes 11. Nothing happened for a few minutes. Then the screen became black for half a minute or so and then I get the blue screen error. Now this is happening all the time when I start iTunes 11 or if I connect my iPod Touch 4g for starting.
    Please help out!!! I want to open iTunes but knowing that I'll get a blue screen error, I can't. Please help!!! I can understand if you are getting the same problem.
    Thank You!!

  • I get a blue screen on Windows 7 startup via bootcamp (Lion OS)

    My Windows 7 works fine via VMWare Fusion, however since having upgrading to Lion:
    1. Get a blue screen hardware issue starting up directly in Windows which appears just after the Windows startup animation. Using the windows repair doesn't seem to do anything.
    2. Bootcamp now missing from the Mac OS 'Start up' target disk.
    Has anyone solved these problems?
    Infuriating that Apple have released Lion and it buggers up Bootcamp. I do not wish to go throught the process of partitioning and reinstalling Windows again as it takes days because I have to install Vista and wait a while for Windows to eventually install both service packs before I can then install the Windows 7 upgrade disk. It took approxiamtely 2 days of time to do this!!!
    Thank you.

    I can easily get into Windows. It is just that the drivers don't seem to work correct, and makes the screen dark.

  • I get the blue screen whenever I try to install the bootcamp drivers in windows 7

    I just recently installed windows 7 home on my 2011 imac useing bootcamp.
    Everything seemed to install fine however whenever I try to run the bootcamp drivers in windows to get my mouse and wifi and all that to work I get a blue screened.
    Any Ideas?
    Ive followed the exact instructions from the manual for OSX and nothing seems to work.

    Question: Does the Windows disk that you are using have SP2 (Service Pack 2)? In other words, is your version of Windows a FULL version (and not an upgrade version) of XPSP2 Home Edition?
    Having SP2 is a requirement to have XP installed on an intel Mac.
    If you already have the right version then I am not sure what exactly the issue may be.

  • HT1752 my powerbook g4 will not boot up. i get a blue screen. i have tried to start up in safe mode, but get the same blue screen.

    My Powerbook G4 (with Snow Leopard operating system) will not boot up, I get a blue screen. I have tried to start up in safe mode by holding down shift key after startup tone, but end up with same result...blue screen. I need important photos and documents of this laptop, Even if I can just get it started up one more time. Need help fast! If you know what to do, please message back.

    In the text you say you are using Snow Leopard. Snow Leopard will not operate on a G4 (or any Mac with a PowerPC processor). Leopard OS 10.5 is the max OS for PowerPC processor Macs. Your profile shows OS 10.5.6. What OS are you using (or trying to use)?
