my laptop keeps shutting down with a blue screen. 

Hi rthomas63,
I saw your post about the blue screen of death (BSOD) that you are getting. I will be happy to assist but I will need more information then what you provided. What operating system are you running? What is your product number? What is the error that you are getting with the blue screen? When are you getting the error message? Do you get it at start up or when you are using a certain program. The more information you can post about the error message that better.

  • Satellite P300 keeps crashing and giving me blue screens

    Hello,
    I got a Satellite P300, operating on Windows Vista home premium and its provided with a ATI Mobility Radeon HD 3650.
    My laptop keeps crashing and giving me blue screens and windows says its the cause ls my graphic driver and the eror message is Atikmdag.
    I tried everything (i think), i re-installes windows but this i had to do with making a recovery cd with the current settings because in some kinda way my F8 function doesn't work so i couldn't restore my Windows from my hard drive.
    I also got the latest Ati drivers, this doesn't help either, i also re-installed them and tried to run my laptop on the windows drivers, this doesn't help either.
    I really don't know what to do, can some one help me please?

    Are you sure that you are running video drivers downloaded from a Toshiba site? Unfortunately the drivers may not be the root of the problem so it is important to eliminate them as the cause. AMD's recommended driver removal procedure is at [http://support.amd.com/us/kbarticles/Pages/GPU57RemoveOldGraphicsDrivers.aspx] and if you follow that with an installation of Toshiba drivers then your laptop should be in an as supplied state
    I'd recommend you look at this [How to troubleshoot Display driver stopped responding and has recovered, ATIKMDAG.sys type errors|http://support.amd.com/us/kbarticles/Pages/737-27116RadeonSeries-ATIKMDAGhasstoppedrespondingerrormessages.aspx]

    My grandsons new Apple refurbed 35g ipad keeps locking up with a black screen amd nothing else. I have reset it many times pressing the home and off buttons together but it keeps locking up. Help,please!

    Thank you for trying to help. I followed your instructions, it took 6 hours to download, and then said it could not solve the problem (something to do with error 9?). It will have to go back to Apple - its only 3 days since it came out of the package and its very disappointing for him. Looks like I have to hang around in the Apple store in Plymouth all tomorrow until they can fix it, or will change it. Thanks for your help.

    performing a repair installation may fix your issue.
    how do you perform a reinstallation of windows xp, sometimes called a repair installation?
    configure your computer to start from the cd-rom drive. for more information about how to do this, refer to your computer's documentation or contact your computer manufacturer. then insert your windows xp setup cd, and restart your computer.
    - when the press any key to boot from cd message is displayed on your screen, press a key to start your computer from the windows xp cd.
    - press enter when you see the message to setup windows xp now, and then press enter displayed on the welcome to setup screen.
    - do not choose the option to press r to use the recovery console.
    - in the windows xp licensing agreement, press f8 to agree to the license agreement.
    - make sure that your current installation of windows xp is selected in the box, and then press r to repair windows xp.
    - follow the instructions on the screen to complete setup.

  • Satellite P200 keeps locking up with a blank screen

    I have P200D-127 which keeps locking up with a blank screen quite regularly - its only 3 weeks old!
    Loathed to take it back to staples as its taken so long to get going again after previous laptop died.
    Anyone experienced this too?

    I also (coincidence?) bought a p200 Toshiba from Staples in October this year, and also have exactly the same problem.
    To answer the question above, there is no pattern to when the screen goes blank and lock up - it happens randomly whether I am using the machine or not.
    I too am loathe to return it, as I've read that they will just take your machine away and you lose the computer for a long time, when I need it for my work.
    I am not a computer expert, so it is difficult to describe the problem much more than this, but of course it is extremely problematic if you are in the middle of important work when the machine locks up.
    I've read about updating BIOS, but many forums have said that this didn't solve this problem!
    My other thought is that I need to take off VISTA as it seems this is the route of the problem - never had this with any machine before VISTA...grrrr.
    Anybody actually know how to solve this? I find it a bit ridiculous to spend a large chunk of money updating my laptop to find it virtually unusable!

  • My Laptop freezes at startup with a strange screen

    My MacBook Pro 2.4GHz A1226 will not start up.
    It will turn on but a strange image seems to overlay the screen. I have uploaded a picture of it
    http://tinypic.com/r/11ajyfr/7
    [IMG]http://i53.tinypic.com/11ajyfr.jpg[/IMG]
    It will get to a certain point of load up and freeze. The picture is taken at the freezing point.
    In the past week the screen has started to flicker on and off a bit. I replaced the data cable in April of this year.

    anyway to get pictures off with a broken screen. will not connect to laptop and not backed up in backup assistant plus

    If the Pictures are on your SD Card then simply pull the card phone off then you can use a Card Reader and pull them to your Computer = transfer..  But if the pictures are in the Internal memory it may be a bit hard to get them off unless you have a USB cord that goes between the phone and the Computer you might could Transfer them that way.. have you Tried this..

    My iMac (2007) keeps shutting off when in Full Screen mode (DVD, iTunes Visualizer, etc.) This only happens when I have an external monitor hooked up HDMI. Help?

  • MacBook starts with a blue screen

    So a couple weeks ago my Mac starting to only start up with a blue screen and nothing else. I can boot into the install DVD; however, it doesn't give me the option to reinstall only to restore. Well I don't have a time machine backup. So yeah I can't do a restore. I went to disk utility and and repaired permissions and repaired disk and still nothing. I've tried the PRAM, safe boot, command + V...none of which works.
    The only way to get my computer to a bootable state is if I hold down the OPTION key and select Windows. So yeah I can work in bootcamp but yep that's it.
    Thoughts?
    This MacBook Pro is running 10.6.3 the DVD in the drive is 10.6.3.

    You should be able to run that installer without erasing anything. I cloned a system the other day and it wouldn't boot. All I did was run the installer right over the top and it worked fine. Never deleted any files either.

    Hi,
    In order to assist you, we will need the .DMP files to analyze what exactly occurred at the time of the crash, etc.
    If you don't know where .DMP files are located, here's how to get to them:
    1. Navigate to the %systemroot%\Minidump folder.
    2. Copy any and all DMP files in the Minidump folder to your Desktop and then zip up these files.
    3. Upload the zip containing the .DMP files to Onedrive or a hosting site of your choice and paste in your reply. Preferred sites: Onedrive, Mediafire, Dropbox, etc. Nothing with wait-timers, download managers, etc.
    4 (optional): The type of .DMP files located in the Minidump folder are known as Small Memory Dumps. In %systemroot% there will be what is known as a Kernel-Dump (if your system is set to generate). It is labeled MEMORY.DMP. The difference
    between Small Memory Dumps and Kernel-Dumps in the simplest definition is a Kernel-Dump contains
    much more information at the time of the crash, therefore allowing further debugging of your issue. If your upload speed permits it, and you aren't going against any strict bandwidth and/or usage caps, etc, the Kernel-Dump is the best
    choice. Do note that Kernel-Dumps are much larger in size due to containing much more info, which is why I mentioned upload speed, etc.
    If you are going to use Onedrive but don't know how to upload to it, please visit the following:
    Upload photos and files to Onedrive.
    After doing that, to learn how to share the link to the file if you are unaware, please visit the following link -
    Share files and folders and change permissions and view 'Get a link'.
    Please note that any "cleaner" programs such as TuneUpUtilities, CCleaner, etc, by default will delete .DMP files upon use. With this said, if you've run such software, you will need to allow the system to crash once again to generate a crash dump.
    If your computer is not generating .DMP files, please do the following:
    1. Start > type %systemroot% which should show the Windows folder, click on it. Once inside that folder, ensure there is a Minidump folder created. If not, CTRL-SHIFT-N to make a New Folder and name it Minidump.
    2. Windows key + Pause key. This should bring up System. Click Advanced System Settings on the left > Advanced > Performance > Settings > Advanced > Ensure there's a check-mark for 'Automatically manage paging file size for all
    drives'.
    3. Windows key + Pause key. This should bring up System. Click Advanced System Settings on the left > Advanced > Startup and Recovery > Settings > System Failure > ensure there is a check mark next to 'Write an event to the system
    log'.
    Ensure Small Memory Dump is selected and ensure the path is %systemroot%\Minidump.
    4. Double check that the WERS is ENABLED:
    Start > Search > type services.msc > Under the name tab, find Windows Error Reporting Service > If the status of the service is not Started then right click it and select Start. Also ensure that under Startup Type it is set to Automatic rather than
    Manual. You can do this by right clicking it, selecting properties, and under General selecting startup type to 'Automatic', and then click Apply.
    If you cannot get into normal mode to do any of this, please do this via Safe Mode.
    Regards,
    Patrick

  • N500 with Vista blue screen/crash

    Hi there, I bought a N500 (5ZG) with Vista Home Basic three months ago, and generally I'm happy. Unfortunately, every now and then, the system crashes with the blue screen coming up. There's no specific reason that I could identify, meaning it happens independent of what software/application I run
    I've upgraded to Vista service pack 2 hoping it would sort it out; it didn't. I also have the latest BIOS update from Lenovo. Has anyone any idea what's going on here? Thanks.

    Thanks, Harm. It will help in giving the shop some kind of direction because they miss things even though it is their actual job to know these things.
    I've felt that it was running hot, they had mentioned re-appling thermal paste to the processor a couple days ago but didn't stress it.
    There are 2 different blue screen issues and one is solved:
    1. The original irreparable crash which prompted me getting a new HD.
    2. The blue screen crash... on the NEW harddrive.... whenever I tried to open Premiere.(which apparently was solved when they re-installed
    Windows a 2nd time on my brand new HD because my computer no longer Blue screen crashes when Premiere loads.
    Addressing the heat issue could prevent future BSOD crashes and may have prevented the original crash.
    Also, does BSOD refer to the irreparable crashes which render your HD useless or ANY crash where a blue screen appears?   I have been using BSOD to refer to a complete/total/final HD crash.
    I don't smoke but these series of mishaps may get me started.

  • How to start MacAir with frozen blue screen and no light on keyboard?

    How do I start my MacAir with frozen blue screen and no light on keyboard?

    Hey 7manya,
    Thanks for the question. I understand that you are experiencing an issue with your MacBook Air frozen on a blue screen. The following resource provides some troubleshooting steps that may help to resolve your issue:
    OS X Mavericks: If you see a blue screen at startup
    http://support.apple.com/kb/PH14061
    If you see a blank blue screen or a blue screen with a colored pinwheel when you try to start your Mac, but starting up doesn’t progress, you may have a problem with damaged or incompatible startup items or software.
    - If you are starting up from a DVD, it must be a disc that came with your Mac or OS X retail package. Discs from other Mac models may not work with your Mac.
    - Restart your Mac in safe mode. If the Mac successfully starts up in safe mode, choose Apple menu > Restart to see whether the Mac will restart normally.
    Start 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.
    If you think you have incompatible login items
    - Repair your startup disk or disk permissions using Disk Utility.
    Repair a disk
    - Back up your disk, then reinstall OS X.
    Reinstall OS X

  • Laptop keeps turning off (T500)

    I have a Lenovo T500 with 6GB RAM,  320GB HDD and an intel T9600 @ 2.8 GHZ. I installed Windows a few weeks ago and haven't used the laptop. Upon turning it on, when I logged in, it said there was a startup error. So, I restarted, did startup repair, logged in...and it said Windows wasn't genuine.
    So, I stuck in the installation disk and the only option it gave was to install Windows (I thought it'd have a repair function as I was logged in)
    Restarted to do a clean install...blue screen.
    Restarted again, laptop shut off. Wouldn't turn on.
    Took battery out and plugged in adapter, and it turned on.
    Now, within seconds of being on, it shuts off.
    I have a cooling bay and cleaned the fan.
    So, what could be wrong? The fan is very loud and I'm not sure why. I touched it and it seems mildy warm, but not hot.

    Hi Razorboi,
    Welcome to Lenovo Community!
    I’m sorry to hear that you are facing the issue with system not powering on.
     1.  Please check if the system is getting more heated at the bottom.
     2.  Please enter to BIOS mode and keep the system in BIOS mode only and check if the system will shuts down in BIOS mode also.
     3.  Check if the system is having dual memory, if yes check with removing one of the memories.
     4.  Check with removing HDD drive.
     5.  Also check if there is any foreign particle stuck in power button.
    If the issue still persists after following the above steps, then the issue must be with system hardware, and I strongly recommend you to visit the nearby service center for further assistance.
    Click here to open a link where you can select the country and get the exact contact support number. I’m sure they will be a great help.

  • My MBP 15 inch can't switch off (freeze at blue screen with spinning wheel)

    Whenever i try to "shut down" my MBP, it will freeze at the blue screen with the spinning wheel (that keeps spinning like 'eternally')! Any idea how to solve the problem?
    I tried booting from the installation disk and repairing disk with "disk utility" but to no avail. Have also tried repairing disk permissions... Any idea how else should i tackle this problem?
    Currently i can only switch off my MBP by holding the power button (forcing it to shut down)...
    Please help Thanks!

    Launch the Console application by entering the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search, and select "system.log" from the file list. Enter "BOOT_TIME" (without the quotes) in the search box. Note the times of the log messages referring to boot times. Now clear the search box and scroll back in the log to the time of the most recent boot when you had the problem. Look for error messages in the minutes before that time, and post them here -- the text, please, not a screenshot. Edit out excessive repeats, if any. Do the same with kernel.log.
    If the logs don't go back far enough in time, scroll down in the Console file list to /private/var/log/system.log.0.bz2 and /private/var/log/kernel.log.0.bz2. Search those archived logs, and if necessary the older ones below them, for the same information.
    Also in Console, look under System Diagnostic Reports for crash or panic logs, and post the most recent one, if any. For privacy’s sake, I suggest you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if present (it may not be.) Please do not post shutdownStall or hang logs -- they're very long and not helpful.
