N200: rebooting with a blue screen?

Hi,
I have a Lenovo 3000 N200 model:0769 Product ID:0769AKU with Windows XP Pro SP2
Intel centrino DUO
The machine keeps rebooting with a blue screen that pops up, so I turned off automatic reboot on error
The error I am getting is
STOP: C000021a {Fatal System Error}
The windows Subsystem process terminated unexpectedly with a status of 0xC0000005 (ox7c9101b3 0x0052f36c). The system has been shut down.
My daughter had the laptop at college and the error started before May 2009. A Windows Genuine Advantage Notification error message would come up at that time. A yellow triangle would come up with Windows corrupt file. I also got a RUNDLL - Error loading dll32 - the specified module coulod not be found.

BCP4: 0052DD88 OSVer:5_1_2600 SP: 2_0 Product: 256_1
I tried selective startup to try and get rid of the problem, but nothing seemed to work. I can boot up in safe mode only.
This model has the fingerprint software and is wireless. Any help would really be appreciated!
Thanks in advance!

Reboots to a blue screen

Mac Mini was running really slow. So we reformatted the hard drive and restored the computer using our restore disk and our Time Machine backup. After restoring our system, when it reboots, it reboots to a blue screen. It sits there and sits there. What is going on?

Seems the slow problem may have been something else.
Do you have an earlier Install Disc that came with the Mini?
If so, Boot off your *original* Install Disk while holding down the *d key*, (not c key), then run the extended Apple Hardware Test. Some disks require you to use the Option key at bootup to select AHT.

7961G-GE stuck in constant reboot with a blank screen

Hi all,
I just bought a used 7961G-GE and attempted to implement it into my current running CME environment. For some reason my 7961G-GE is constantly rebooting with a blank screen upon receiving power from my 3550 switch. I currently have 2 7940's and a 7961G that have registered without any issues. I tried to debug tftp event's on my router to see if at least my 7961G-GE was able to contact the TFTP server but I get no results at all. I also did a dhcp bindings check and it looks like the 7961G-GE phone is unable to get an ip address either. I have the proper option 150 configurations as my other phones are able to reach the tftp server without any issues. I've also uploaded and tried firmware versions 8.2 through 8.5 and assigned the proper file to the load command. When I do a "more system:/its/vrf1/XMLDefault.cnf.xml" to see if the command was executed, it shows the correct file within the open and close tags of the proper load information tags. This is just really baffling to me because I'm getting no response at all when I try to debug the events with this phone with the exeception of it rebooting every few seconds with a blank screen. I do get an error message when I do the load command that says "
LOAD COMMAND ERROR:cnf-file location system is not supported,Plese use flash|slot0|tftpUpdating CNF files", but again, when I look at the XML files that all my phones request they all show the proper info within their tags including 7961G-GE.
Any pointer's as to why this is happening?
Thanks
-Jason

Maybe the unit was in the middle of a complete flash reset when the seller pulled the power. Normally a flash reset takes about, wait for it, an hour.

My laptop keeps shuting off with a blue screen

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.
Find your product number on a notebook:

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
Thanks,

After Software update yesterday, ibook cannot reboot & stay in blue screen.

After yesterday software update, My ibook restart and got stuck in the blue screen with the spinning spiral icon in the middle of the screen.
I try to reset the pram and PMU but in vain.
I also use CRTL-V while rebooting and found the repeating last few lines which the command prompt shown was as follow:
localhost/system/library/coreservices/loginwindow.app/contents/MacOs/loginwindow s:Login Window Application Started
Anyone can assist, thanks in advance.

I only use Software Update to see what is needed, then get them for real via...

That way I can wait a week or so, check the forums for potential problems, and get Permissions & such in order before installing.

Big problem with plain blue screen on boot (not related to Leopard install)

Hi - eventually I have worked out how to post to this forum!
I have had a major disaster with my iMac this weekend. It began with a lock-up when I was working happily away in Blender. I got a beachball and the machine froze. I had ssh set up so I tried to go in from my iBook to kill a few processes to try to get it back on track, but without success, so eventually I had to hold down the power button to power off the machine.
When I tried to reboot, I got the grey screen and the spinning wheel, then a plain blue screen with no mouse, no beachball and the machine just seemed to stop. I could hear the CPU going like the clappers and was able to ssh in again and check top to see what was going on, and the WindowServer(?) process was maxed out at 100%. I wasn't able to kill it and again nothing happened and on a further reboot I just had a plain blue screen.
I have since spent a few hours trying various things to sort this out, so far to no avail.
- Single User mode, fsck -fy: reports everything fine, no change
- Reset PRAM, no change
- Tried booting off my backup Firewire drive (SuperDuper) but it won't boot to it, same blue screen hang
- Ran Disk Utility from Leopard Install DVD - permissions, checked disk, etc - no change
- Ran DiskWarrior in Target Disk mode from iBook, no change
- Ran Tech Tool Deluxe, no change
- Removed RAM (not third party), put it back in, no change
- Reinstalled Leopard using Archive & Install, no change
- Reinstalled Leopard again, using Erase & Install, no change
- I think I'm running out of options.
I'd have been on the phone to Apple by now but it's Sunday tomorrow and a Bank Holiday in the UK tomorrow so it will be Tuesday at the earliest, and I know I'm going to be frustrated by having to go through all this with them again!
A weird thing is - I CAN get logged in in Safe Mode now and again, and when I do, the mouse pointer has a small, almost transparent rectangular graphic attached that follows the pointer around. Barely perceptible but it's there - it looks like a Leopard icon for a txt file but barely visible. Has anyone ever seen anything like this?? It really feels like something has corrupted, but with a totally clean OS install, is that possible?
As it stands, I'm sure this is a hardware issue but I'm not sure. I had a couple of power outages lately which I suspect are behind this.
I'd be really grateful for anyone's thoughts on this - it's been a really frustrating couple of days.
Cheers.

As far as I can see, resetting the power manager on this model of iMac involves resetting the SMC, which is unplugging all cables for 15 seconds, plugging back in and powering up. Tried that too, same result. In terms of third party software, nothing. Clean Leopard install is the lot.

(10.6.5) Macbook stuck at reboot/logout/shutdown blue screen

Hi there,
I've been googling this for a long time and haven't found anything that solved the issue so here it goes:
Sometimes, when trying to logout, shutting down or rebooting the system, finder shuts down and a blue screen with a spinning wheel appears where it will stay until I manually hold the power button.
I'm using an external USB audio interface (M-audio fast track ultra 8r) and a USB apple keyboard with a logitech mouse connected to it.
I have already tried booting in safe mode, resetting nvram/pram and even praying to the holy spirit.
I'm open to any suggestions

Problem solved. I was getting a light blue screen and spinning progress wheel on shutdown about 40% of the time. I thought it was due to the number of applications open or the length of time before shutting down. I called Apple Support today and the rep (who was very good) who walked me through 3 steps.
1) SMC reset
2) PRAM reset
3) Disk Utility -> Disk Verify -> Disk Repair
Problem that was causing shutdown errors was caused by a partially corrupted disk drive. Remember that the Macbook Air runs a Solid State Drive. Using the Disk Utility, we ran the Drive Repair feature and it found that my drive was partially corrupted and repaired it. Now that the drive has been "repaired", the shutdown issue has gone away.
I was afraid that I was going to have to reinstall MAC OS....but it was a quick "repair" command and the drive was repaired successfully. Problem solved.

White Macbook has delayed start with a blue screen and will not wake when it goes to sleep

I have a late 2006 MacBook that I recently bought used. When I got it I was experiencing very long boot times. It would have the apple logo then go into a blue screen for about 5 minutes before loading to the OS. Nothing I did fixed the issue. I was told it was not a hdd or ram issue, but maybe a logic board issue. I then purchased a new hdd since that was the concensus online. After installing it I got the it to load right away when it booted from the install disc. However, after the OS was installed, it gave me the same problem. Also, when trying to update to Lion it would freeze on the apple logo with the spinning dots. I did not try to install Lion on the new hdd as I wanted to use the machine and it was working with minor inconviences. I then read about resetting the system by taking off battery, holding power for ten seconds, then replacing battery and restarting. This actually fixed the problem. I was able to install Lion and everything was working perfectly. I then replaced the topcase becuase the one on the computer was scratched and dirty. After I did that I was unable to load anything. It would not go into lion or anything else. I fiddled with the command lines and nothing. I had someone else who spoke unix fiddle with it and I was finally able to get it to boot from the install disc. After doing a clean install, from erasing and creating a new partition, I am back to square one with a long boot time and not waking from sleep. This time the battery trick is not working. I have done the PRAM reset and disc repair and permission repair. All to no avail. I know that it has the capacity to work because it did. Please help me, I really want this to work. Thanks.

It seems thst the MBP is not recognizing the internal HDD. Look at this link and probably the section 'Start from your Mac OS X Install disc; use Disk Utility' will be applicable:

Just ran a recent update, and computer woke up with plain blue screen and spinning beach ball, was it the update that made the computer crash?

just ran a recent update for my macbook pro/mid 2010, and the computer just woke up with a plain blue screen & spinning beach ball - I had to do a hard shut down.
I am also having the problem of having my screen going black for a couple of seconds, I read up on it in Support. But I was wondering if there is something else going on.
Any ideas?
thanks
