Pink Screen Freeze & Crash - HP Desktop

Hi,
Hopefully someone here can help me. I have a HP Pavilion m9065uk Desktop and I am having problems and I was wondering if anyone could point me in the right direction.
Over the last month or so I have been having a problem with it the PC crashing, at first it started when booting up, it would get as far as the Microsoft loading bar then just a black screen and nothing. I would reboot and it would boot up fine, but then started freezing with a pink screen, then after a few minutes either go to black screen or nothing happening at all. Sometimes it starts to restart up then fails to start and startup repair comes up but sometimes fails. I changed the power supply back in March, but I dont believe if this has anything to do with it, the supply is the same as the original.
I googled the boards and it was suggested that the nvidia graphics card might be the problem. so reinstalled the drivers and then tried updating the drivers and its still the same problem. The reason I say i suspect the graphics card is that sometimes when the problem originally began I would get an error message saying that "display driver failed and recovered".
Is this a problem with the NVIDIA GeForce 8500 GT card? There is no Integrated graphics card on the PC when a graphics card is installed.
The PC will work for a day or 2 then the same pink screen crash occurs, now all of a sudden it wont boot up, keeps going to launch startup repair, which does not work. I can boot up to safe mode only.
Hopefully someone would be able to point me in the right direction. I dont want to have to go changing the motherboard or worse still pay for a new PC.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks, O

Hi,
Is this HP PC the same as yours? It might be the video card or a weak power supply. Try reseating the video card and see if that makes a difference. Take a can of compress air and blow out all of the dust from CPU heat sink and the fan on the video card. See if that makes a difference.
You could try removing the video card and connect the monitor using a VGA cable to the integrated video port on the back of your PC. Hopefully your monitor has a VGA port and you have a VGA cable. The integrated video adapter is Intel so you will have to update the video driver. Look here for the update.

Mac Pro increasingly frequent screen freezes / crashes

Hi,
Freezes on my MacPro are becomming increasingly frequent - I need to work out what the problem is as it's making the machine unusable. If anyone is having similar problems or has found a fix, please post here.
The issue that I am seeing is that suddenly the keyboard and mouse stop responding and the screen freezes. At first it's as if I've lost sight of the mouse pointer since the screen looks OK, but then I notice the keyboard has stopped working too. The little clock in the corner of the screen stops updating. It's not possible to quit or force quit anything. It sounds like the hard drives are doing something. I am able to SSH in to the machine while hung but not able to reboot it or shut it down (it just errors).
The only thing that enables me to recover my machine is to press and hold the power button for about 10secs until it powers off. Then I can power it up again and it works fine. If I run disk utility after reboot it doesn't find any issues.
I've not been able to find any link between the software I'm running - it just happened this evening about 7 minutes after booting when iTunes was the only open application.
It's a 2.8Ghz dual quad core pro with the 8800, 10G RAM, 4 drives, bluetooth keyboard and a wireless logitech mouse. I just put new batteries in the keyboard, have had 3 more crashes since. It has Airport but it is switched off. The only things plugged in to the USB / Firewire are an ACD monitor, an APC UPS and the reciver for the USB Mouse. All of it has been working fine with no hardware changes since delivery (for about 6-7 months). The only thing I've changed on the hardware in the last 6 months is I added a 4th drive last week, but the crashes had started before then. I'm running 10.5.4. Apart from this issue it's a fantastic machine, but with this issue it's like having a ferrari that stalls every few hundred yards.
is anyone else having similar crashes? If so, please post details of spec of machine and sofware / hardware in use when it happens so that we can try and work out what is causing them and fix it.
many thanks,
Rog.

Run Disk Warrior. Don't just restart and use the verify option in Disk Utility, boot from another drive.
RAM. USB devices. almost anything should be suspect.
Try setting up an emergency boot drive. OS X doesn't repair itself all that well, Disk Utility doesn't find as many errors, or fix, as 3rd party tools.
I would delete extensions.mkext and caches folders (not home caches), turn off journaling before repair, then turn on after. And run all the tests in Disk Warrior or other program, not just directory rebuild, scan all the files too.

Is my memory bad? Screen Freezes - Crashes

Hello, I have a macbook early 2008 or so... I bought it with 2GB, last year I bought 2 2GB memories from MacRam to upgrade my macbook and i am having issues with the memory, I think. I think was able to isolate the one that gives me issues, and I am not an expert. I ran AHT and REMBER and in both the memory appears good.
Does anyone know what could be causing this? When i send the ram back to MacRam, they will test the memory and most likely the memory will be returned back because the memory will pass the test too.
Any ideas of what could case this freeze/crash? Would this be a result of static?
The following screen freezes are happening:
and

If you take out the MacRam memory, and put back in the original memory, do you still have the problem? That would help isolate cause and effect.
When you ran the AHT did you run the extended test?

Satellite P750 - black screen, freezing, crashes while gaming

Hi, I've had my P750 not for long and i am getting a few issues with games.
Most of the newest games like NFS RUN, BF3 or FEAR 3,show a black screen in game, freeze and then crash will i play the game (2-10 minutes).
Other games like BLACK OPS, ASSASINS CREED REVELATIONS and SAINTS ROW THE THIRD, freeze and i have to press ctrl + alt + del. to continue the game again.......im really dissapointed by Toshiba, because although i was told that this laptop was suitable for gaming, instead i only get crashes!
I havent overclocked it, the NVIDIA drivers are the latest (285.62) same as DirectX
Ive seen similar posts on this forum, but no serious solutions. Please help!!

On Toshiba European driver page you can find the nVida driver v 267.44
Did you test this driver?
I found also some modified drivers on laptopvideo2go.com page but the usage of such drivers is your own risk and not sure if they would work properly.

Frequent blank screen/freezes/crashes with OSX Mountain Lion

I updated to OSX Mountain Lion a few weeks ago. Now, after startup, my computer continuously gets slower with the number of applications that have been opened (even if I have closed them after I'm done with them) until it finally goes to a black screen where I can only see/move the mouse but nothing else- I don't even get the SBBOD. Ultimately I shut it down because its unresponsive. After rebooting, it most often tells me the culprit applications are either Safari or Adobe Reader, but occassionally its others like MS Word, iPhoto, and R. I'd like to think my system is powerful enough not be slowed down by such trivial applications (15" MBP Early 2011, 2.3 GHz i7, 8GB RAM, 256GB SSD). On a side note, I've upgraded to both OSX Lion and then OSX Mountain Lion without ever doing a clean install- if that may be an aggravating factor? I thought disk space might be an issue so I downloaded MacKeeper to clean up my HD. While it recovered a lot of space on my HD by removing duplicates it hasn't done anything to improve this situation. I've also used the disk utility to repair disk permissions and repair disk. Any ideas? Should I call Apple?
Other symptoms:
-iStatpro and other items on dashboard screen are always extremely delayed
-I can tell its going to happen soon when pressing command+space doesn't open the spotlight menu. But when I look over to iStat it says its running at normal T, fans are turning fast, and there ~3-4 GB RAM free...

Kernel Panic 10.7.5 pink screen freezing

Please help. KERNEL PANIC My old alumninum Macbook Pro Laptop which have been upgraded to 10.7.5 is having a rough time.
It has frozen both today and yesterday while watching a video on youtube (can only move cursor around) It turns pink.
I have disabled adobe flash hardware. That did not help.
There are only two things I have done differently in the past couple of days:
1: Two of my keys are broken and I have taken them off, using them without their aluminum shield. Perhaps too much dust/dirt have entered the computer.
2: I tried to indstall a childproofed user and then tried to delete it. Am unsure whether I deleted my original user and made the new one as administrator or if it worked to delete the new user.
What can I do? I have no warranty anymore. Bought a 3 year warranty in december 2008!

IPad constantly glitching/freezing/crashing/parts of screen unresponsive - time for a factory reset OR a trip to the Apple store???

iPad constantly glitching/freezing/crashing/parts of screen unresponsive - time for a factory reset OR a trip to the Apple store???
My son has nothing but problems with his iPad Mini. It is less than a year old and it constantly freezes/crashes/glitches and parts of the screen are unresponsive. This happens while playing games, watching movies, surfing the net etc etc
The iPad has been in a heavy duty Survivor case from day 1 and has been very well taken care of - so I don't think it's a damage issue
I have tried numerous resets (just holding the 2 buttons) and have disabled every feature on the iPad that might be causing memory/RAM issues (?) all to no avail.
I haven't tried resetting to factory settings as I don't want to lose all the data on the iPad (mostly his game achievements and Minecraft maps that he has worked so hard on!!!)
SO - any suggestions:
1) Take it in to the Apple Store - I have never gone to Apple over an issue, is this possibly covered by warranty???
2) Factory Reset - If I do this can I save all his game achievements/data???
Cheers,
Todd

Try this - 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 - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.) No data/files will be erased. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430

FCP freezing and crashing to Desktop

Hi everyone. I'm a little stumpted by a situtation I have. I'm new here so please be patient with my lack of understanding/knowledge.
I have a Mac Pro with FCP 7.0.3 installed on OSX 10.7.5 whenever I use it, occasionally (on average every hour) my FCP will freeze (beachballing) and sometimes crash out to desktop without any error diaglog message.
I have looked in /var/log/system/log to see if there's anything in particular that can help me search for a fix. I have found the following EVERY time I have a freeze, crash or (sometimes) stuttered playback

The bit that I think is useful is the qtkits deny ipc-posix-shm but again, I'm no expert.
A little about this system. I'm running a user on an Active directory system. However, when I use a locally created user and not AD, these crashes become very rare. I can handle a few crashes, that's the nature of the beast!
The Aja driver is current 9.0.3, old I know, but I've been having trouble with audio playback and this driver seems to work well. But I was running the latest driver (10.4.4) and still had this crashing problem with the same error message in the logs. I have also had the same issue with 10.3.2 Aja driver, so I don't think this is related.
Any ideas or suggestions would be great appreciated
Rizzo

Thanks Michael, I'll get someone to install it and run it.
Please note that an update might take a while (Monday next week) as I'm on leave now. But if anyone has any ideas or suggestions, please let me know. I'll buy you a beer or something

Gateway DX4840 is Experiencing Screen Freezing and Crashing

I am running Windows 7. This problem started about three weeks ago. Occasionally the screen freezes and nothing will unfreeze it except a cold boot. Control-Alt-Delete does nothing. Sometimes the screen goes black. At other times the screen shows
an odd multicolour pattern. Occasionally the computer crashes altogether.
I can not seem to find any hardware problem. Sometimes the computer will run for several days with no difficulty. There is no sign of a virus. I have checked my C drive for problems and found nothing.
I normally run Chrome and sometimes Chrome and Explorer at the same time. Has anybody experienced this problem.
Thanks very much.

Hi,
Firstly, please check the issue with the method below:
Windows hangs or freezes
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2681286
Meanwhile, I think you need also to check the hardware side; please ensure all the drivers are up-to-date and you can also contact Gateway support for help.
Thanks.

Screen freezing and desktop acting strange

A few days ago my wife was using my computer and tried to add a screen saver using some photos on my computer. She never did save the screen saver. But since then my desktop has blocks of color showing up in different portions of the screen. Sometimes the print is illegible, sometimes the screen just shakes, and the screen freezes all the time now. The mouse still works with the screen frozen.
Have run disk utility and found no problems, deleted all the preference panels I though were associated, and still the problem persists.
Using an Apple image for desktop color and Apple computer name for screen saver.

Does it do this in all accounts?
Tried starting in safe mode?
I'm trying to narrow it down to a system-wide issue or just your account.
[Mac OS X: Starting up in Safe Mode|http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=107393]
[What is Safe Boot, Safe Mode? (Mac OS X)|http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=107392]
[Safe Boot takes longer than normal startup|http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=107394]
Safe boot mode runs a directory check command similar to that used by Disk Utility's repair. In Tiger it ignores some stored information (cache) that is normally read that speeds up the boot process, and it moves some other caches to the trash. It also uses only System fonts and disables all Startup Items, third party items, and any Login Items.
If it seems to be just your account try moving:
Home > Library > Preferences > ByHost > com.apple.screensaver.\[a long number].plist
to the desktop and restart your computer. This file saves the settings for that service and may be come corrupt. Removing it from the Preferences folder will result in a new file being created with default settings. If this helps you can trash the file but you may need to reset other things covered by that preference. If it doesn't help you can replace the newly created file with the old one and restart to regain the old settings.

Firefox 4.0 freezes, crashes, closes, changes screens, does not respond, and runs 8X SLOWER than 3.6.

Firefox 4.0 is the WORST browser I have ever seen. It freezes, crashes, closes, changes screens, does not respond, and runs 8X SLOWER than 3.6. Tasks I used to do in 30 minutes, now takes me 40 minutes or more. I went back to 3.6 and immediately had a tremendous improvement.
Mozilla needs to get rid of this load of lies about a new crap program, and go back to the 3.6 version. Version 4.0 is WORST than any other program I have ever seen.

The slow / hesitant scrolling problem seems to be an artifact of the database Firefox uses to keep track of where you go, what you do, etc. It uses sqlite databases which get fragmented over time.
There are several fixes:
Some are add-ons and work internally, such as Vacuum Places (search the addons for it).
Some are external. Speedyfox is one I just tried, and found to work quite well. I think it did a better job than Vacuum Places, but requires Firefox to be shut down before it can work properly.
Find Speedyfox using a web search.

My iPhone 5 camera keeps freezing if and when I take a photo I get either a pink screen or pink lines or lens freezes any ideas please

Has anyone else had an issue with their iPhone 5. Camera?
The problem is intermittent and presents as either a total freeze or partial or full pink screen
Is this a known fault and should I take the phone to an apple store for a replacement as it is only 4 months old

First thing to try is to reset your device. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously ignoring the red slider should one appear until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart. See if that fixes your problem.
If that didn't help, Make an appointment at an Apple Store to have your device examined by a technician. Or contact Apple Support.

GX740 065NE, MS 1727. Screen freezing, graphic driver crashing.

Hello, i got problems with the screen freezing, graphicdriver crashing, screen even getting spiky and flimmering when trying to start games.
I used to have problem with high fan speed/noise, graphicdriver crashing, screen freeezing, BSOD and so on. Well ive been having it like this since i bought this laptop.
Anyway, so few days ago i decided to try updating the Vbios.
I updated the Vbios and i did fix the high fan speed, much lower noise.
The problems with screen freezing was increased after the Vbios update.
Alltho it seems like im not getting anymore BSOD's at least.
I have tryed both the latest graphic drivers from AMD ATI and from MSI's website, non of them solved the problem.

If you've had the problem from day one, then yes, I think an RMA sounds like a good course of action. It sounds like you've done everything you can by changing the drivers, updating the VBIOS, and so on. Only thing I can suggest is to uninstall the current graphics drivers, run >>Driver Sweeper<<, and then install the latest drivers again. I'd suggest installing the latest patches for the games you play, but if they all freeze then it's obviously not a game issue.

G5 crashes / screen freeze

Hi
About 3 - 10mins after startup, the little coloured wheel comes up and the screen freezes then sometimes the fans start to rev up and the only option is to shutdown. This has been happening for the last 3-4 days. I have tried resetting the PRAM & SMU.
I have also tried to run the apple hardware test and run antivirus but it crashes halfway through which makes me think it is software related? I would very much appreciate any help or views on this.
Thanks in advance, Staff.

Apple Hardware Test doesn't involve any operating system.
Antivirus can cause problems.
The fans rev because the system hasn't loaded to the point where it controls fans and does so to protect the hardware.
A corrupt journal can be one problem; the disk directory probably needs to be repaired and you need to boot from another medium (hard drive preferably, DVD with same OS). Or Single User Mode (Command S) and run fsck -fy (command tip is on screen at prompt).
Start with Disk Utility First Aid, but I would rely on Disk Warrior to do a better job.
We are not staff, just other users.
