Installed V4. On starting get Blue Screen with Bad_Pool_Header. Uninstall/reinstall doesn't help

Windows 7 SP1, 32 bit AMD Turian 64, 2GB RAM
After installing V4 I get the Blue Screen on starting Firefox. I uninstalled V4 completely and installed V3 again with same results. The firefox screen never loads. Just goes to Blue Screen.
The dump message is: The computer has rebooted from a bugcheck. The bugcheck was: 0x00000019 (0x00000003, 0x8232e700, 0xfe6f4878, 0xfe6f4878)

    This is what happens. My wife gets a fortnightly pay slip sent  to one our
    emails. It says that to see the speciific details it is necessaty to click
    on a pdf icon. But it also says that to utilise this option it is necessary
    to download Adobe Reader and it has a link. So afterr you have gone through
    the whole procedure to download Adobe Reader you then click on that icon
    againn now secure in the knowledge that you are  registered with Adobe
    Reader ot have succesfully doiwnloade it at any rate. But when you click on
    the icon up comes blue screen over which roam the words  "Music" "Films"
    etc and there is a toolbar that appears to be suited to a media function
    -play buytton etc.
    What I want is something which says word to the effect click on this and

  • PB doesn't start, gets black screen with error

    Hey Guys,
    When I press the power button on my PB, it starts up, but stops and a black screen comes up with an error.
    /etc/master.passwd: No such file or directory
    /etc/master.passwd: No such file or directory
    -sh-2.05b#
    It was working fine before. I was actually listening to music on it the day before. Then later that night it started moving really slow. I was downloading music through LimeWire, so perhaps I got a virus. I shut it down and the next night when I tried to use it again the error came up. From the error, I can type in commands and read up on the computer.
    Can anyone help me?? I don't know what's wrong with it. Is my hard drive damaged??

  • Satellite A105-S4284 gets Blue Screen of Death when coming out of standby

    MySatellite A105-S4284 runnings Windows XP gets a BSOD after coming out of standby or hibernation. With standby, I'll see the login screen where I enter my password, and then it may show the desktop background or even the open app (Outlook or Word, typically) for a second, afterwhich the BSOC appears. For weeks I was getting a black screen sporadically after standby. Researched the problem and saw recommendations to update BIOS. So I updated the BIOS to the latest version, and then I started getting blue screens of death rather than a black screen. Thought the problem was McAfee, because I'd get crashes right after McAfee became active in the background, sometimes without going into standby. Cancelled McAfee, took it off with the cleaner, used Avast instead, and that seemed to help. But then BSODs came back. I uninstalled non-essential software, clearned registry with CC Cleaner, freed up more HD space and defragged, ran SpyBot, etc - but I still get the BSOD almost every time I go into standby or hibernate. 
    The stop messages on the BSOD don't show a driver. and all begin with 0x0000007E (0x000000C5, ... and then differ after that.  One recent one followed with 0x804E13D5, 0xAA6B9B8C, 0xAA6B9888). Does that mean anything?
    I've installed Microsoft's debugging tools to look at the dumps after a BSOD. Here is output for two recent crashes. Doesn't point to a driver. NTKRMLMP.exe is what crashes - do I need to replace that from the I386 folder somehow? I did have my Matsu**bleep**a DVD-CD drive suddenly quit a time or two until the computer was restarted. Should I reinstall the DVD driver? Or the graphics driver? Worried that I might break something by doing that.

    In safe mode it is not possible to standby. That is disabled. Tried to make it possible with Toshiba's power control service, but it is not available. 
    In a new account, the BSOD still occurs. I created a new account, logged out of my account, and went to the new one. Tried standby. It came out of standby for a second and then had the blue screen of death. 
    In checking the event manager, I seen errors shortly before crashes sometimes that involve the CD.
    So I went to Toshiba.com and downloaded the DVD RAM driver and ran it, reinstalling the driver, and then restarted.  I also saw that there was C-Dilla driver in my drivers. I uninstalled the SafeCast program that I think is associated with C-Dilla, moved the C-Dilla driver out of the drivers to a distant folder, unchecked C-Dilla in MSCONFIG so it won't load (it was still there after removing SafeCast), and then reinstarted. So with a new DVD Ram driver and neutering, I hope, of C-Dilla, I tried things again and the system appeared to be crash free - better than it had been. But then a crash occurred - BSOD - and upon restart, the CD locked up, and crashed again. 
    After restarting, there was a new dialog that popped up after Windows launched indicating that there had been an error with SONIC DLA. Before the crash, there was an event n the event viewer:
    My last error comes from the Plug and Play Manager:
    The device 'MAT**bleep**A DVD-RAM UJ-841S' (IDE\CdRomMAT**bleep**A_DVD-RAM_UJ-841S________________1.60____\5&226f6cf2&0&0.0.0) disappeared from the system without first being prepared for removal.
    Hmmm. So things are still vulnerable. Any ideas? Buy new CD drive? Or new computer?

  • Grey and Blue Screens with Spinning Pinwheel

    Mid 2009  Macbook Pro 13 inch  with Mac OSX Snow Leopard installed.  2.26 GHZ  4 GB   160 GB    Version 10.6.3 
    I got this dead Macbppk Pro from my daughter .  I put in a new battery and re-installed Mac OSX Snow Leopard from the licesned disc she bought so I could get rid of all her files and have free space and to make the Macbook now mine with my passwords etc. I got free support from Apple on how to install the disc and overwrite everything that was on it.
    Until now ... I get a Grey Screen with the Spinning Pinwheel for endless time.
    So the I tired the   Hold  Alt/ Option +  Command  + holding the P and R buttons while starting it up and got a Blue Screen with the spinning Pinwheel.
    Any Help on what to try next ?
    I only use it about once a month because I have a desktop.  Does using it only once a month harm anything ?  Should I be doing anything to not have this problem with it ?
    Or do I have to re-install the disc again and if so .... what would be the procedure to do so ( I forget )
    Thanks Eric

    Hi Eric,
    Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    If your MacBook Pro is only starting up to a blue screen with spinning pinwheel, reinstalling OS X may be necessary. I would recommend going through all of these steps first:
    Restart the computer in safe mode. If the computer successfully starts up in safe mode, choose Apple menu > Restart to see whether the computer will restart normally.
    Starting up in safe mode
    If you see the login window prompting you for a user name and password, but starting up doesn't progress, you may have incompatible login items.
    Eliminating incompatible login items
    Repair your startup disk or disk permissions by starting up from your Mac OS X installation disc and using Disk Utility.
    Repairing a disk
    Back up your disk and then reinstall Mac OS X by starting up your computer with your Mac OS X installation disc.
    Reinstalling Mac OS X
    From:
    Mac OS X 10.6: If you see a blue screen at startup

    This one DMP file was inconclusive please run driver verifier to find the underlying cause
    Please run these tests to verify your memory and find which driver is causing the problem.  
    If you are overclocking (pushing the components beyond their design) you should revert to default at least until the crashing is solved. If you don't
    know what it is you probably are not overclocking.
    Since it is more likely to be a driver please run verifier first.

    Reinstall OS X:
    Reinstall OS X without erasing the drive
    Do the following:
    1. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions
    Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. 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 installer.
    If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
    2. Reinstall Snow Leopard
    If the drive is OK then quit DU and return to the installer.  Proceed with reinstalling OS X.  Note that the Snow Leopard installer will not erase your drive or disturb your files.  After installing a fresh copy of OS X the installer will move your Home folder, third-party applications, support items, and network preferences into the newly installed system.
    Download and install the Combo Updater for the version you prefer from support.apple.com/downloads/.
    Reinstalling Lion Without Erasing the Drive
    Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. 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.
    Reinstall Lion: Select Reinstall Lion and click on the Continue button.
    Note: You can also re-download the Lion installer by opening the App Store application. Hold down the OPTION key and click on the Purchases icon in the toolbar. You should now see an active Install button to the right of your Lion purchase entry. There are situations in which this will not work. For example, if you are already booted into the Lion you originally purchased with your Apple ID or if an instance of the Lion installer is located anywhere on your computer.

  • Can't get past the blue screen with "starting Mac OS X"

    I am having problems with starting my iMac. It gets to the blue screen with "starting Mac OS X" but won't go beyond that point. I was able to get the disc drive open with the help of other posts, holding down the mouse while turning on the computer, but the drive won't stay closed with the install disc in it. I have even tried holding down the "c" key while restarting the computer and it wouldn't work. Any help would be greatly appreciated. So much info that I could really use. Also, please keep in mind that I am not too computer savy. Simple language please.
    Thanks

    If the steps I provided in my earlier post are not helping, then I see your options at this point as follows:
    1. Run the Apple Hardware Test (AHT) that came the affected computer. See my "Apple Hardware Test" FAQ for comprehensive advice on using the AHT in troubleshooting.
    2. Performing an Archive and Install. For important tips on this, see my "General advice on performing an Archive and Install" FAQ. Perform the steps therein in the specified order.
    3. Take the computer in for service. If there is an Apple Retail Store in your area, I'd recommend taking it there. You may wish to call ahead to make an appointment at the Genius Bar.
    Good luck!

  • I5 17''MBP  gets blue screen during install windows 7 32 bit

    Hello all:
    I heard that quite many people get classic windows' "blue screen" during using windows , whatever Windows XP, Vista or 7. But now i face the "blue screen" during install Windows 7, which means I even can not complete installation.
    I bought my Macbook Pro i5 17'' one month ago, and I'm trying to install Windows 7 but I face the problem during the installation. After finishing first 4 steps the computer would restart and start to "finish installation", but at this time it gets "blue screen" and shows "error: 0x0000009c" and stuck there. I have to shut down the turn off button and interrupt the installation.
    I don't know if there's any one else face this unlucky situation. I searched on the net and it says the problem could be from memory, graphic card (too new), or even overlocking the cpu,whatever it must be the problem of hardware. I thought it might be the problem of compatible.
    If anyone knows how to deal with this problem??!! I do need to use some software under Windows system!

    It is good to see that it is indeed a USB2.
    The support software on the USB is used in the Pre-boot environment setup and provides drivers for Apple specific hardware, GPU, BT, Mouse, etc. You can verify that by looking at the USB contents. The DVD contains generic drivers when hardware is not recognized as defaults to use. Apple does enough 'secret sauce' to make them different. The following does not explicitly state the USB2 need when using the DVD Installer and mentions W8 (not W7).
    From Boot Camp: Creating an ISO image from a Windows installation DVD - Apple Support
    Insert a blank USB 2 flash drive that is a least 16GB in size into a USB port on the computer. Boot Camp Assistant uses this drive to store the Windows 8 install media and support drivers during installation of Windows.
    Note: This flash drive needs to be formatted for the FAT32 file system and must use the Master Boot Record partitioning scheme. Use Disk Utility to check the format of the flash drive before proceeding, and partition or erase the flash drive if necessary.
    I suspect the GPU is not getting the correct driver and the Installer fails. The Generic VGA should work. From the OS X side, can you see files in your BC volume? If yes, can you look for logs in the BC volume at the following locations.
    ./Windows/Inf/setupapi.dev.log
    ./Windows/Inf/setupapi.offline.log

  • My touchsmart will not boot allI get is a blue screen with f key to do different things

    My Touch smart desk top will not boot when I turn it on all I get is a blue screen with HP in the center and f key functions

    Hello charleshobby:
             Your computers start up has been corrupted. No big deal. Turn on your computer hold down on F-8 key as you turn it on. This should put you in safe mode. If f-8 key fails then just disconnect the power cord at the power adapter and plug it back in and turn on your computer (This is called a fource start up) automatically puts your computer into safe mode. Use your arrow kek select safe mode with net work. Top one I belive. In safe mode close out Help and Support window displayed. Open up Recovery Manger and select Microsoft System Restore. Click next then click next again now a list of dates will appair choose a date before this event occured. Click next and let your computer complete the sytem restore. My guess Microsft up dates caused this issue. After this is finished now go back and change all your update setting to down load up dates but let me choose witch ones to install. Only install three at a time. To a void future occurances and black screen or blue screen issues. Follow these steps for blue screen or black screen. Please click on Kudos if this has resolved your issue. Thank you frrw.

  • Computer will not start up, get blue screen only

    When I try to boot from a newly cloned and installed hard drive on my PowerBook, I only get a blue screen with progress wheel. I read in one of the forums that this may be caused by an incompatible Startup Item. There is one Startup Item listed that I am not sure about called "System Events." Is this necessary and can it be deleted? It is found in /system/library/core services/system events. Another is Iomega Driver, buried deep the system library. These items do not appear in the list on my G4 FW800. Any thoughts? Thanks.

    Am using the latest version 3.1. Am really concerned as to the Startup Item "System Events." What is it, what does it do, is it a necessary Startup Item and can it be deleted from the list?
    If all else fails, I will zero out the drive and try to re-clone. However, I just went through this on a WD 250GB drive and had nothing but problems. The clone went well, but after 2 weeks of running, folder icons started to disappear and finally the drive would not re-boot. Got many Kernel Panics. Testing the drive, I got and error message saying that the drive had "Invalid Key Lengths", "Volume Check Failed" and "The underlying task reported failed on exit." Don't have a clue as to what this means.
    For this latest problem, I am using a Seagate 160GB ATA drive, purchased new.

  • Blue screen with sound after clean install

    Hi Everyone,
    I have just replaced the hard drive on my MacBook Pro A1226 Model.  The install went fine when it finished all I get is a blue screen with the osx music in the background.
    I have tried deleting the ApplicationEnhancer file using single user mode, I have tried removing all the ATI Extensions but still no luck.  I was able to get the welcome video up once but was unable to select my country or continue. I have also tried to complete the install using safe boot but no luck.
    Any ideas or help would be brilliant.
    Thanks in advance

    Safe Boot by restarting your computer while holding down the "shift" key.  Safe booting disables all nonessential processes, often times allowing you to start up when you would otherwise crash.
    As of OS X 10.5.6 Safe Boot deletes the dynamic loader shared cache location in the /var/db/dyld directory.  A corrupt cache here can cause the blue screen crash.  Once you restart normally, the cache will be recreated.  This should take care of the issue.

  • I just powered on my mac book pro and have a blue screen with a flashing folder with a question mark in the middle, how do I get out of this?

    I just booted my mac book pro and it is at a blue screen with a flashing folder with a question mark in the middle of it.  How do I get out of it?

    Click here and follow the instructions. If the computer was running Mac OS X 10.6.8 or earlier and you reach the third set of steps, insert a Mac OS X install disk.
