Mac Mini (sort of) Grey screen of death, Advice

Hi there,
Got an old intel 1.66Ghz Mac Mini, which has started to show some problems. Here are the facts of the case. I've been through the Grey screen of death page on Apple Support.
1. Sometimes the display won't come on, sometimes the standby button just flashes
2. Generally speaking, I get no apple symbol, and the grey screen will stay there for ever
3. If I unplug some USB devices and/or Ethernet cable (no standard way of doing this - appears to be random), I get the apple logo and can log in ok / boot to the Snow Leopard DVD. Have done a utilities check on the disk which came back as ok. Plug the USB devices back in and they work ok.
4. When I log in, if I restart, Grey screen of death.
So sometimes it works, most time not. I'm not afraid of taking the back off and doing something if it needs to be done, but any advice would be appreciated.
Should I attempt a snow leopard full restore to see if that does anything?
Thanks

If it boots fine without any USB devices plugged in
it is probably one of them that is causing the issue.
If one of the USB devices is a hard drive, it is most
likely the culprit. Had this same issue with a newer
Mini and found that a WD USB drive that I kept plugged in
was causing it to get "stuck" in the booting process.

Windows 7 partition works fine, Mac OS X faces grey screen of death

Hi all,
I have a very weird problem and I hope you can help me out.
I loaded Win 7 on a seperate partition. Up until recently, I could load into either Win 7 of Snow Leopard without any hassles.
Recently, whenever I try to boot into Mac OS X , i get the grey screen of death....and i can't figure out a reason why. The weird part is Win 7 works perfectly fine....no issues whatsoever.
Any ideas about what could have gone wrong? Thanks a lot!!

Boot from another Mac OS media - hard drive or DVD - and use First Aid Disk Repair.
Did OS X crash/freeze or something?

Mac Mini stuck on grey screen, what to do?

A friend of me has got a Mac Mini (Late 2005) with some problems. She was looking at a Powerpoint presentation, but in the end it froze (spinning wheel). Then he turned off the machine, rebooted it, but it would display nothing then the grey screen and nothing but that.
From a distance, I tried her to boot into the boot disk screen (the screen did appear, but with no disks inside). After inserting Install Disc 1, it did not appear either, the drive was making some noise though, but even after the noise stopped, no drive appeared).
After a reboot, the machine still wouldn't reboot, nor boot from the drive (with C), nor start the Hardware Test (with D), nor eject. After a very long wait it would only display the icon with the folder and the MacOS icon.
So... what are the options:
1. I could still try to get the data via Disk Mode, but if it fails, do I take a risk (there are no backups)?
2. Should I still try to zap the PRAM or any other clues?
3. Or should I directly take it to an AASP and what should I expect?
Thanks for your advice!

Get them to try and recover data*:

Once that is done, ask them to sign on here so we can help them directly. It is hard to work via third parties as there is ample opportunity for misunderstanding.

Mac Mini boots to grey screen w/ symbols

This morning my Mac Mini will not boot to Mac OS - it displays a light grey screen with a thunderbolt and some weird symbol that looks like a wheel/hub with 3 arms - 1 arm is solid and the other 2 are made up of lines perpendicular to the hub.
The Mac Mini was recently upgraded to Mountain Lion - running lastest updates - this was a few days ago. The display to VGA through the mini display port. Using magic mouse and usb keyboard, that's about it.
Any idea what has happened? Or what isn't happening?
Thanks for your help!

OK - It looks like I'm stuck in target Disk Mode .... I suspect my kid had something to do with this or a stuck key.
Can someone recommend the best wat to get back to normal boot?

Grey screen of death when copy and paste in InDesign

Hi,
So I see a lot of people here are dealing with the Grey Screen Of Death (GSOD) problem on Adobe Content Viewer. I'm on a MacBook Pro i7, and designing in InDesign 5.5.
What seems to be happening is when I delete buttons from one file, and copy paste the buttons from another file, and then try to view the content on my computer using Adobe Content Viewer, then I get the GSOD.
I am not getting the GSOD when I update other files - it just seems to be happening when I copy/paste buttons from other files. How do I fix this? I need to be able to preview the content and look for errors before I send it to the client.
Thanks,
Jess
UPDATE: I think it has something to do with dragging pages from other files into InDesign... could use some help from Adobe!

Thanks for your reply. I talked to the Apple Support again and they told me the server edition could only be used on that OS and if I wanted to use it as something else I could chose not to use the server applications, or buy a regular Mac mini. And that was all they said. Interesting since it was one of their sales persons who told me I could install Snow Leopard.
Anyway, I got hold of a client disc and it all worked like a charm.

Install new hard drive Macbook 2.1, No DVD Drive, Grey screen of death!

I have never backed up my Macbook 2.1 duo before yesterday. While in the process of backing up I was using photoshop, and my computer froze. I waited 30 min and then decided to shut it down. When I tried to turn it on it will not boot-up, I only get the grey screen of death. I had just recently upgraded to Snow Leopard this week. I used an external DVD drive which seemed to cause issues. So I thought I might be able to use that to install a clean version on this busted drive, well nothing worked, tried holding option key, holding down the C key. So this is my new idea I ordered another drive that says its compatible with my drive. Since the my mac doesnt seem to acknowledge my drive, I bought an external housing for my new internal. Confused yet, I am... I want to format and load Snow leopard onto the new hard drive using my girl friends mac. then put in my macbook. I would like to know if this will work? how I need to format my drive in disk utility ( do I partition it out?). Is it possible that it is not my Hard Drive? Any type of advise would be great. If you have done this I would love to hear from you...
Another side note, I just upgraded my RAM from 1GB to 4GB on my Macbook 2.1, I did try and putting my old ram back in just incase that was the issue, but that did not help

Mac OS X: Gray screen appears during startup

Anybody else sharing in the Grey Screen of Death experience on the early 2011 MacBook Pros?

I got to the point where I needed to reboot my computer (running too many Remote Desktop Connections has a way of messing with my system somehow) and just like every other time I try to shut down or reboot my computer, it feels the cycle coming and throws up the lovely grey screen of death before I can actually get the computer to shut down cleanly. I'm actually starting to consider switching over to a Windows box, because there I expect the lovely blue screen of death.

When you go to "About This Mac," "More Info," and click on the "Memory" tab, how many GB's do you see in each socket? This is what mine looks like:
You might also want to run a utility such as rember to check your RAM.
Good luck,
Clinton

I upgraded my Macbook from 4.8 to Snow Leopard 6.3 now it keeps crashing and grey screen of death

Hi everyone i have a Mac Book   2.16GHz   Core 2 Duo, 4GB 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM. Prior to upgrading my macbook worked like a dream.
I upgraded to 6.3 then straight up to 6.8, had lots of problems with the computer screen going blue, the Mac refrshing itself and me having to type in my passowrd to discover all the applications had shut and my work lost. Then i started to get the Grey screen of death, resulting in having to hold down the power button to switch off. Yesterday i got the grey screen and on rebooting i kept getting the grey screen. So i thought 6.8 might be an issue so i reinstalled 6.3 without doing any software updates.
I have started to get the same problems. Only this time i can't open word or excel either. whenever i run disk utilities i keep getting the same extensive list of repairs. Here they are in case anyone can help. And below is the last system diagnostic report. Any help would be gratefully apprecaited. It doesnt appear to be any particular program that is causing the problem, i thought it was safari but i have stopped using that. THANK YOU

Macbook Pro late 2008 with Mavericks gets Grey screen of death.

Hey guys..
When Mavericks was released, I updated my old Macbook Pro (late 2008) 2.8ghz on work, and since then I have had a couple of Grey Screen of Deaths.
I had none of those before Mavericks, so I guess thats the source of the problem.
I've been trying to figure out what might cause it, from the crash log below, but I can't seem to figure anything from it, so I was hoping you guys could help me?
Correct me if I'm wrong, but it seems to be a kernel panic, caused by some PowerManagement from kernel_task. But how do one fix that?

I am having similair issues : MBP 4.1 2008
It does not want to reboot at all .
Stops with the grey screen .Spinning wheel / gear stops spinning and Mac reboots automaticly to.... get stuck again .
Ive tried the recovery : No automatic reboot But same screen : ( grey , stuck stopped spinning wheel)   some how it enters Disk Utility because I can trigger the voice that ask for the language etc. (I left it there overnight without result ) I dont see DU on screen ( tried second monitor : No luck )
Did a hardware test : No issues
Did single user logon :   fsck   : No problems with the drive ( after 2 runs ) ( 1st runs : changes were made )
Did Logon Verbose status : Initial messages : shutdown reasons : code 128 ...   now followed by code 3
Tried to reinstall the original OSX ( 2008 )   No luck : grey screen changes to darker screen coming in from the top asking to reboot the system .
1st real bad signal was : When donwloading Maverick ( again ) to create a bootable USB the screen started flickering ( this started when pressing the download button ??? - I had to reboot the mac to stop
2 days later :
Last Live activity with this mac was : Trying to create maverick Bootable USB using diskmaker X )   During this activty the mac died on me .
I have a full time machine backup : so no worries about data...I hope )
This mac is one of the lucky ones with the bad NVDIA 8600m gt cards ... after upgrarding in march 2013 to Lion ..it crashed on me with the black screen of death ...Since apple stopped the guarantee I baked it in the oven at 200 c for 7 minutes . For the last months it was working Fine .   ( Hardware check shows no issues - and upon reboot it chimes happy ..)
What could be my next options ? ( Obvious buying a new one ... This is allready launched as an idea .   I need more creative thoughts :-)

Will not boot past Grey Screen of Death

I was using Safari. Got the spinning beachball. Then it quit, followed by Text Edit, and Quicktime player which were running in the backround.
I was able to restart through the Apple menu, and got the Grey Screen of Death(GSoD), with the apple, and no spinning gear.
I had to shut it down using the power button and restarted holding Command-S so that I could run fsck in the Command Line, but it wouldnt go to the command line and all I got was the GSoD.
So, I started the computer from an external firewire drive, (using the option button on startup, which worked), and it booted fine and mounted my internal drive. (All my files appear to be there and are accessible. The good News...)
I ran disk utility, and it said that the internal drive was fine, no repairs needed.
I shut it down,unplugged the power cord and battery, reset the PMU, restarted, zapped the pram, and let it try to load, only to get the GSoD.
Then I booted from the firewire again, ran Techtool Pro (TTP), everything passed. I rebuilt the directory using TTP, restarted and still got the ole GSoD.
Telephone Tech Support made me use the Install disk to restart, and run disk utility, (no problems), and upon rebooting still the GSoD. They said I could take it to the Apple store, or run an archive and install.
I can't do an archive and install, (from home), because my original disk was Panther, and I can't find it, and my Tiger disk is only an upgrade disk. I don't want to do this anyway, and my last resort would be to clone my firewire disk back to my laptop, which I also do not want to do if I don't have to.
I was considering buying Diskwarrior (DW). It used to do miracles for me with OS9, but that was always when the drive wouldn't mount. I don't know how DW does with the ole GSoD, and a disk that mounts, or whether it can be reccomended to deal in this situation.
Any help would be appreciated, as well as anyone who cannot help, but can tell me what is wrong when the computer can't get past the GSoD.
Thanks in advance.
Powerbook G4 1.67mhz 1gb RAM Mac OS X (10.4.8)

I wanted to add to my post that I have no third party hardware attached, (RAM, etc.), and disconnected all peripheral devices, only connecting the firewire external to boot the thing.
I also made no recent software installations. The last was the 10.4.8 update on 11/22.

I looked at that article for <10.3.9
The closest symptom was the blank grey screen. Though it did not mention the addition of the apple like my case. It suggests disk utility, and PMU reset, which I did and didn't help.
I looked at some of the other symptoms fixes for the blue-screen, -OS9 is not installed on the computer, and single user and safe modes also don't work.
I have an appointment at the Apple Store for this afternoon. I have the AppleCare protection plan. What in your opinion can they do, that telephone tech support couldn't suggest, besides performing the archive and install, that I can't do at home, and don't want to do anyway?
Also, seeing as the internal drive does mount, and I can access the data, why do you think that DW might fix it? I know they have a proprietary method, but I did replace the directory with TTP.
DW did perform miracles for me in the past, but then only when the disk wouldn't mount.
Right now my plan is to see the Genius this afternoon, if he's got nothing new to offer, I can buy DW rev 39 at the Apple Store, and run it there.
I guess barring any other advice, if you feel that DW can do the trick, I could buy it before seeing the Genius, and if it works, cancel my appointment.<br>

Intel iMac with 10.5.8 - Grey Screen of Death but worse please help!

Okay, this has happened three times now in six months, and I'm about to go out of my mind. Everytime it's a little different but basically:
My iMac becomes unresponsive, whether by a system lock up, or I wake up in the morning (like this morning) to a black screen with the white light still on, as if it were asleep. Nothing I do wakes the computer or otherwise makes it respond, so I hold the power button down for a few seconds and it shuts off.
Now, when I boot up, I get a grey screen with the Apple logo with the spinning black/grey pinwheel.
Inserting a CD does nothing. In fact, now my only install CD of Leopard is stuck in the slot-loading drive. I've tried everything I can to eject it: hold down eject on boot, left mouse button on boot, option on boot, commandoption+pr, command+v, etc. etc. etc.
I'm a software developer for OS X and have extensive hardware knowledge, so I kind of know a bit about what I'm doing.
The iMac will not boot off of a CD. It doesn't even recognize the CD. I have an external USB 2.0 hard drive with a current Time Machine backup, but I don't think those are bootable.
Anyway, in the past, to resolve this issue, I've had to take the iMac apart, put the internal hard drive into an external enclosure, and mount the drive onto my MacBook Pro. Interestingly enough, when I do this the drive mounts perfectly fine and shows all files exactly as they should be. So it's something to do with Leopard destroying it's boot record, or some other system configuration.
Even worse, I cannot simply reinstall Mac OS X from the laptop, because the installer says the hard drive needs to be formatted before an install can occur. So either way I'm losing all my data (even though as I said I have a current backup).
Well this time I haven't taken it apart yet. But the install CD is stuck in the drive. Even if I got the hard drive out, and mounted on my MacBook, my other install CD is too damaged to use, so I MUST get this CD out of the iMac.
My questions are:
What do you do when the grey screen of death occurs, and the computer won't even boot off of the CD?
What do you do to get a CD stuck in an iMac out? Especially when the iMac is in the grey screen of death mode?
What in the world is causing this to happen EVERY 3-6 MONTHS??!
Someone please help... I'm going insane.

Hi I am having the identical problem with my 24" intel iMac 2007..... Did you ever figure out what the problem was? I'm on round 3 now and with a completely blank grey screen and it won't start up from the disk 1.. I also have diskwarrior and techtool pro as well as the osx leopard and snow leopard disk... The HD is new.. Replaced by apple 3 months ago.. Don't know the cause the first time this happened about 9 months ago.. 2nd time, 6 months ago it never rebooted from the office for mac 2008 critical update... Did a clean install after backing up to TC... Took it to apple replaced HD even though it appeared ok, they checked all hardware and I ran techtool pro daily ever since. Last week software update had several updates avail. Office for mac being one of them.. I updated and have never booted since.. . I swear to never ever use another Microsoft product as long as I live if I can just fix this once more... Help me please

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?

Call AppleCare. Apple has a 90 day warranty on all repairs. Let them deal w/it.

HELP, Intel Security Update, no reboot, grey screen of death

so I just downloaded the latest intel security update (i dont even remember the nomencalture) and now my revision A 2007 model macbook pro will not reboot.
It stays on the grey screen with the grey pinwheel.
I reset the PRAM, and nothing.
I took the battery out and held down the power button, and nothing.
so i put in Disc 1 of the instal disc, and started the reinstall process, but stopped because I was not sure if this would format the drive and i would lose everything. So i manually shut down the MBP, and now the I cannot eject the disc.
and it still stalls on the grey screen of death.
please help !
sincerely loneshark2000

did that, too !
was able to get to Disk Utility, Verified the disk, Repaired the disk (no repairs were needed)
went to Start Up Disk, selected the hard drive,restarted, and still she gets stuck on the grey screen.
just got off the phone with mac support. and they recommended target disk mode to grab some of my necessary files. then to conduct a fresh install of the OS X, using archive and install. preserving user settings.
so i guess im off to the store to get a 6 pin to 6 pin.
ugh, what a dilema ! thanks for the reply Sig.

First gen Macbook pro will not turn back on after grey screen of death

Hi, i have a first generation Macbook Pro. As i was browsing the web, my computer all the sudden froze and the "grey screen of death" appeared and shut of my computer. After, it tried to restart, but it wont get past the CD rom or hard drive noise it makes once you press the power button. I hear the noise fully cycle once, then it restarts the noise and keeps skipping. Once its done, the computer IS on, but the screen is black and I cannot do anything. Please help! Ive never dealt with thins kind of problem and Im sort of a noob with computers. Is the computer fried? It is after all 7 years old, and I use it daily.

After the startup sound (be precise) after the sound press the shift Key until the apple appear.
If that wont work. Try an SMC reset
Then try a PRAM reset
This procedures are on apple webpage

Grey screen of death installing Leopard

Hi everyone,
So I've tried to install Leopard on my Mac Pro with about 5 differents installation discs, and they've all lead me to the same result: grey screen of death.
Here're the steps that i took:
1) 2x 500g Hitachi harddrives, erased clean, partitioned to RAID.
2) Inserted the grey Leopard Mac Pro OS version 10.5.4 installation disc, clicked 'Restart'
3) Computer started booting up, and when it got to the Start Up screen with the Apple logo, the grey screen of death ("You need to restart your...etcetc") appeared.
And this has happened with 5 sets of installation discs. I did the same steps with Snow Leopard and it worked.
Im using an 8-core Mac Pro with 8GBs of ram.
I tried the Leopard installation disc with a 4-core Mac Pro and it worked perfectly; no screens of death whatsoever.
I was just wondering: Is the Leopard disc not compatible with an 8-core machine? Or is there any other way I can install Leopard on my Mac Pro?

Update:
1) I also tried to boot as Target Disc Mode to install Leopard on a 4-core Mac Pro, but after installation it Kernel Panic-ed.
2) I used the 'Restore' function in the Disc Utility by using a Disc Image of Leopard to a system RAID drive. The installation was moderately successful, but I also ended up with Kernel Panics.
