R61 driver issues/ blue screen

Hello all:
I have a 2008 R61 (7733) Serial (L3-G5721). I got this computer through my college at the time, and over a 2 year span I had 4 or 5 HDD replaced through the Lenovo service program on campus. Now I recently replaced my HDD 2 times so far since leaving my school in 2010, none were for bad HDD's like previously. I had Issues with Lenovo/Windows drivers. Now on my 3rd an WD black. What I would like to know is my HDD or Motherboard is having driver issues?!? How can I fix this?!? Is their a program that can diagnose what driver is causing my blue screens and also keeping me from booting up the laptop past the extended boot screen?!? Love that laptop so much runs like a tank besides the HDD problem it's very solid any help is appriciated.
Sincerely:
Christopher Patti

Hi,
Do not rely solely on System Update to maintain your computer. It frequently is weeks, months and even years out of date. Some updates never get to System Update at all. In addition, the driver matrix does not contain all patches and updates. Because you don’t have a preload, it is possible that you are missing some critical updates, which may not be in the Driver Matrix, and I am not sure if they are available using System Update. I suggest that you verify if the following updates are installed on your computer.

There might be others, but these come to mind first.
Here are some examples of System Update being out of date:

I even tried submitting site feedback, rather than opening a dialog using the Lenovo Forums to get some of these problems fixed. The astonishing response I got back from the Lenovo Web Content Team was:
Dear Valued Customer,
Thank you for your feedback. We have checked the link that you have provided. Yes, the current version is the one in the document, however since we haven't received the latest xml file for the driver, that is why in TVSU contains the previous driver update. In the meantime, please download manually. We will update TVSU with the latest package as soon as we receive it.
Thank you for contacting the Lenovo Web Content Team. http://support.lenovo.com

Satellite A60: ATI graphics driver issue - blue screen error

Hello,
I have a Sattelite A60, and I have had it for a year, and now suddenly, I have frequent crashes. The Blue Screen of Death tells me that it is caused by a driver not working properly, namely an ATI driver.

I deinstalled the display drivers and for a short while it seemed to work. However, the blue screen of death did not reappear, but now my laptop suddenly switches itself off: immediate powerdown. Also, I have had the driver failing to work properly: this resulted in the screen resolution suddenly resetting itself to safe mode. De blue screen I got before mentioned that the fault lay in ati2dvag.dll - the windows error analysis screen that appeared after my reboot told me that the problem with this dll again caused the problem. This was before and after the reinstall of the Toshiba drivers.
Going to try and reinstall them again now. See if it works this time.

IMac G4 OS 10.5.8 booting issues, blue screen

I'm trying to remotely help my mom to solve a big problem with her iMac G4 (2007 vintage.) It's running Mac OS 10.5.8. Everything was fine until a couple of weeks ago when it started refusing to boot. It starts to boot, you get the Apple and then it continues on to the blue screen, and never progresses from there.
It WILL safe boot, and I've tried all the things I can think of... disabled login items, reset PRAM, used Disk Utility to check the HDD and repair permissions. But it won't boot in normal (non-safe) mode.
So I decided the only solution would be to archive and install Leopard again. I figured the hardware was mostly likely okay, since it would safe boot. She couldn't find her Leopard install disks so I sent her mine.
But the system won't successfully start up from the install DVD. It does read from the DVD and starts the boot process, but again it hangs at the blue screen and does not continue beyond that.
I am not sure what to try next... I suppose it's possible that there some bad RAM or something which isn't accessed during the more limited safe boot but is used during a regular boot and causes the hang. It seems like the HDD is probably okay since it consistently safe boots without a problem. What else can I try?
Any suggestions are greatly appreciated!

The test as run from the original install-restore disc #1 should be accessible
when booted per instructions on the label. Usually, there's the method on how
to use the Installer (C key on boot) and also the other is there, on how to use
the same DVD to boot the Apple Hardware Test (perhaps Opt key.)
With an older computer, there is the chance the hard disk drive may be fading;
due to use and age factors. However, one could still (maybe) find information
on what else may be going on, IF the error and crash logs in the Console utility
could be accessed, then read through, by someone with technical knowledge.
The Console logs may be accessed if the computer can be started in SafeBoot.
And there are several, in there; some would not apply. Also, they're rather cryptic.
Sometimes, a section of a hard disk drive where the boot information is stored
could be damaged; or the Directory may be corrupted, so a third-party disk
utility on its own DVD or bootable volume can be helpful to correct that aspect.
Or to totally erase, zero, partition map and reformat the hard disk drive may do
to attempt to restore function of the computer to normal; while wiping user content.
A backup of content could be made; even a clone copy to an external, then that
could be transferred (via another clone, using Carbon Copy Cloner, etc) and if
the computer were wiped, that bootable clone could be moved back. Or, should
the internal drive be bad, the content of the computer can be put into a new HDD.
{The 'pizza box' iMac with the G5 PPC processor, had a few known issues in
certain models, some due to heat and other component failures; so the hard-
ware test may be helpful. So would an inspection of the power & logic circuits.}
Anyway, sounds like 10x the trouble at a distance, helping someone figure out how.
Good luck & happy computing!

X58 plat RAID 1 data drive setup blue screens vista x64

Hey all,
Trying to set up a RAID1 data array (NOT my OS drive). However, when I try to boot into windows, it blue screens.
I've tried doing nothing but plugging the drives in (to the Intel SATA slots) and turning on RAID in BIOS, but it still BSOD's on me.
Specs are in my sig... halp!

Quote
And you really need to have a floppy disk to integrate the drivers during setup, even in this day and age where the floppy is... well, just about gone?
For Windows XP you have to either use a floppy disk or integrate the RAID Drivers into a custom made Install CD (with tools like NLite or XP ISO Builder).
Vista Setup can load the driver from any kind of medium (best to use an USB Flash Drive). As an alternative, it would be possible to use tools like VLITE to slipstream the drivers into a custom install CD.
Quote
what a drag! Seriously, there's no way to turn on RAID after you've installed the OS??
If the generic Vista drivers were any better, this should actually work. However, as you can see, Vista and its generic drivers are not doing a very good job when it comes to self-adjustion to the new controlller operating mode (RAID).
Maybe a Vista Repair Installation after switching to RAID Mode can help you here. You can try, but it won't necessarely help.
This is a Windows problem rather than a board/BIOS/Chipset issue.

Macbook will not boot. Locked hard drive. Blue screen when booting

Hi, my little brother decided he wanted a few files off of my mac book, so he went to settings>sharing>file sharing and added my only hard drive to the list and tried removing everyone but his name and password thinking it would only effect people trying to log into my hard drive, not actually me on my computer alone trying to boot mac osx from it.
He came crying to me telling me he paniced because he saw a locked icon on my hard drive and couldn't do anything, so tried to restart the macbook and now i just get a blue screen and nothing happens when i try booting it.
Right now i'm thinking i gotta archive and reinstall from booting the osx disk, but i'm affraid it'll just apply the same settings again and keep me locked out. I need files off of my hard drive since i'm in school and have several assignments that i have not backed up at all.
Any help would be greatly appreciated

after searching the forums deeper i found the solution. it's now working. you may delete this thread.

430s Strange WiFi issues / Blue Screens

I have had my 430s for several months with no issues. Running Win 7 Pro, 8GB RAM and 256MB SSD with Intel WiFi N6205 Advanced N adapter.
I have a Netgear Router and 3 other PC's in the house along with 3 cell phones. All other PC's and cell phones can connect to the Netgear router except the 430s. The 430S connects with limited access - ie, no Internet Access. About 50% of the time it is successful.
HOWEVER - the 430S can connect to my cell phone setup as a hotspot without any issues at all.
Also, periodically, if I try to VPN into work, I get the Blue Screen of Death. So i initially thought a potential memory issue.
No new anti-virus or firewall software. I run Bitdefender total security.
WiFi troubleshooting says there is an issue with network adapter.
Therefore, I have run Lenovo Memory test, but all works ok.
I have also deleted my home network from the list of networks, and set up from scratch. No difference.
I have tried to use Win 7 safe mode with networking, and still does not work....although cell phone hot spot is how I am typing this.
My next option is to try an external USB network adaptor....any other thoughts?
Thanks

Thanks for the suggestion. I'll make an appointment tomorrow.
Any idea on what they would do at the apple store? Does apple replace phones? Do I need to bring the receipt or just the phone?

Startup issue - blue screen freeze before login - Safe Boot works fine?

I've not seen this before and I can't fix, wonder if anyone has any new suggestions, here is what I've tried so far... (safe boot works fine)
1. Verbose and Single user login
2. removing the startup folder from disk library
3. Zapping PRAM
4. Reset SMC
5. Zeroed disk and reinstalled system
6. Target disk and disk repair (No Problems Found)
7. Permissions repair (No Problems Found
8. Apple Hardware Test (No Problems Found)
9. System DVD Startup - Disk Utility (No Problems Found)
10. Network Startup - Disk Utility (No Problems Found)
In every case unless I hold the shift key down for safe boot, the mac will freeze on a blue screen when the grey screen disappears, and never proceed to login. Thought about replacing the disk but it's a lot of bother on these machines and there doesn't appear to be anything wrong with it??
Any ideas?
Can anyone think of a possible fix not listed above?

Hello chip
The only thing I see missing from your list is, have you disconnected all External HD's, iPods and other storage devices befor Starting up? Sometimes when the iMac has multiple storage devices connected the Startup Manager will get lost.
Also try going to: Startup Manager in System Preferences, select the Macintosh HD and restart the iMac..

Video driver issue - black screen after XP loads

I've used Bootcamp to run Windows XP on my Macbook for the past year. No major issues up to this point...
Today I decided to update my graphics drivers on XP because I was going to install Starcraft II. I went to Nvidia website and it auto-detected the newest drivers...258.96 to be exact. After installation I restarted computer and booted up in XP again, this time the graphics were all messed up and it wouldn't let me switch to 32bit mode or a high resolution. I re-installed the drivers...booted up again..this time the desktop loaded but the screen was black. I do not know how to remove the drivers and revert to older ones since I can't see anything on the screen. All the sounds work when I start it up and power it down...files still there (can see files on HD when in OSX)...so I know it's just a graphics issue.
How do I revert back to a "more compatible" driver?

Hi and welocme to Discussions,
use the SafeBoot options of XP as described here http://support.microsoft.com/?scid=kb%3Ben-us%3B315222&x=10&y=11
Use Safe Mode (=Minimal) to startup XP with a minimal set of drivers and from there uninstall the not-working Nvidia drivers.
The reinstall the drivers that worked.
You might wanna tryout if 'Last Known Good Configuration' works.

T43p ATI Video Driver gives blue screen

Hi,
I have been having issues with the video driver for the ATI graphics card for Thinkpad T43p despite downloading the latest driver available on the Lenovo at:
http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/document.do?lndocid=MIGR-61503
The driver file “ati2dvag” crashes my Windows XP operating system. Would you kindly direct me to the driver to resolve this issue or let me know if I need to change some settings? My graphics card is “ATI MOBILITY FIREGL V3200”
Thank you,
Nitin

Welcome to the forum!
My experience has been that this type of issue arising on a T4x/R5x series machine with ATi GPU usually points to a failing graphics card.
This is the driver I use on my own T43p:

Usbscan.sys driver causes Blue Screen of Death

I'm trying to set up an HP 8100 printer on my Windows XP desktop. While installing the HP software from the CD, I got to the section where I connected the USB cable, then a message said the driver was installed successfully, the I got a bsod naming usbscan.sys as the culprit.
This has happened twice more after reboots.
Any ideas on how I can correct this issue? Specifically, how to I remove this driver and how do I get the printer to work without it?
Thanks...
John

Hello j9lemmon,
I saw your post and would like to help, is it the Laserjet 8100 that your asking about? what is the product number for that printer? This information will help me to answer your question more accurately.

Leopard general issues (slow boot-Blue screen of tolerance)?

I upgraded it to leopard 10.5.2 a week ago. I thought my old system with tiger (10.4.11) used to boot faster and work faster and I thought I was being cynical. I just checked with my buddy's computer which is completely identical to mine (2GHz intel Core 2 Duo, 2gb ram, 120gb hard disk macbook). She still has tiger 10.4.10. It boots drastically faster. As soon as dark grey apple disappears tiger shows a progress bar showing the log on process and it logs on in less than 5 secs. Overall boot up was around 20secs. First of all I don't know why leopard doesn't have that progress bar. Secondly leopard hangs on a blue screen during startup for another 20 seconds which makes the overall time 40-50 secs.
I deleted all cache everything and unused files while installing. I never got a blue screen of death either. It is almost a clean install. People might suggest erase/install or archive/install but I checked other forums people suffering with this issue has not been successful to eradicate it this way.
I checked my logs. they are pretty clean except some launchctl convert stuff.
I am pretty convinced it is leopard issue.
I have two questions:
1) Is Apple aware of this issue (blue screen on startup for 20 sec) and would be address it in next update? or is it not fixable?
2) Can I somehow have that auto-logon progress bar back?
3) Sidebar fonts are very small. Tiger sidebar was much easier to use. Is their a way to increase font size.
In general I am quite disappointed with Leopard. It is much slower especially with respect to finder windows. I wish I could downgrade to Tiger but it is to much hassle..taking backup..reinstalling all applications. I kinda like quicklook too. I'll miss it if I downgrade.
I would like to know whether apple addresses such issues in upgrades? I am patient.

I have two questions:
Actually I count three questions.
1) Is Apple aware of this issue (blue screen on startup for 20 sec) and would be address it in next update? or is it not fixable?
Not a problem with OS X. More likely a problem with your installation or setup. I have 5 Macs running Leopard and have no similar problem nor ever have. Although boot times differ with hardware, startupitems, login items, etc. they are not much different. My Mac Pro takes half the time as my laptops typically.
2) Can I somehow have that auto-logon progress bar back?
No. It's no longer included in OS X.
3) Sidebar fonts are very small. Tiger sidebar was much easier to use. Is their a way to increase font size.
Not aware of any control over this in Leopard, but if there is someone else may let you know.
If you want to improve performance on your computer then try some maintenance:
Kappy's Personal Suggestions for OS X Maintenance
For disk repairs use Disk Utility. For situations DU cannot handle the best third-party utilities are: Disk Warrior; DW only fixes problems with the disk directory, but most disk problems are caused by directory corruption; Disk Warrior 4.0 is now Intel Mac compatible. TechTool Pro provides additional repair options including file repair and recovery, system diagnostics, and disk defragmentation. TechTool Pro 4.6.1 is Leopard compatible; Drive Genius is similar to TechTool Pro in terms of the various repair services provided. The current version, 1.5.1, is Intel Mac compatible.
OS X performs certain maintenance functions that are scheduled to occur on a daily, weekly, or monthly period. The maintenance scripts run in the early AM only if the computer is turned on 24/7 (no sleep.) If this isn't the case, then an excellent solution is to download and install a shareware utility such as Macaroni, JAW PseudoAnacron, or Anacron that will automate the maintenance activity regardless of whether the computer is turned off or asleep.
OS X automatically defrags files less than 20 MBs in size, so unless you have a disk full of very large files there's little need for defragmenting the hard drive. As for virus protection there are few if any such animals affecting OS X. You can protect the computer easily using the freeware Open Source virus protection software ClamXAV. Personally I would avoid most commercial anti-virus software because of their potential for causing problems.
I would also recommend downloading the shareware utility TinkerTool System that you can use for periodic maintenance such as removing old logfiles and archives, clearing caches, etc.
For emergency repairs install the freeware utility Applejack. If you cannot start up in OS X, you may be able to start in single-user mode from which you can run Applejack to do a whole set of repair and maintenance routines from the commandline. Note that presently AppleJack is not compatible with Leopard.
When you install any new system software or updates be sure to repair the hard drive and permissions beforehand. I also recommend booting into safe mode before doing system software updates.
Get an external Firewire drive at least equal in size to the internal hard drive and make (and maintain) a bootable clone/backup. You can make a bootable clone using the Restore option of Disk Utility. You can also make and maintain clones with good backup software. My personal recommendations are (order is not significant):
1. Retrospect Desktop (Commercial - not yet universal binary)
2. Synchronize! Pro X (Commercial)
3. Synk (Backup, Standard, or Pro)
4. Deja Vu (Shareware)
5. PsynchX 2.1.1 and RsyncX 2.1 (Freeware)
6. Carbon Copy Cloner (Freeware - 3.0 is a Universal Binary)
7. SuperDuper! (Commercial)
8. Data Backup (Commercial)
The following utilities can also be used for backup, but cannot create bootable clones:
1. Backup (requires a .Mac account with Apple both to get the software and to use it.)
2. Toast
3. Impression
4. arRSync
Apple's Backup is a full backup tool capable of also backing up across multiple media such as CD/DVD. However, it cannot create bootable backups. It is primarily an "archiving" utility as are the other two.
Impression and Toast are disk image based backups, only. Particularly useful if you need to backup to CD/DVD across multiple media.
Visit The XLab FAQs and read the FAQs on maintenance, optimization, virus protection, and backup and restore.

BSOD after installing Boot Camp, AMD Radeon 6630M driver issue

I have reinstalled Windows using Boot Camp twice now and get a blue screen right after installing the Boot Camp drivers and restarting.
I am installing Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit on my Mac mini 2011 edition. I created an install disk in Lion and used the option to copy the Boot Camp drivers into the disk.
I have narrowed the problem down to Apple's driver for the AMD Radeon 6630M graphics which my Mac mini has. The driver will install without errors but then the blue screen appears on next startup. If I use safe mode to uninstall the AMD driver, the blue screen goes away, but the display resolution is very low.
I checked for driver updates from AMD, but there are none for the 6630M.
Anyone else having this issue?

Hi,
I have installed Windows using Boot Camp and I also get the blue screen of death right after installing the Boot Camp drivers and restarting.
I am installing Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit on a i7 Mac mini 2011 edition. I created the USB install thumb within Lion's Boot Camp, and got downloaded the latest Bootcamp drivers (bootcamp 4.0). I connect the mac mini to a 24" iiyama screen with a HDMI cable. I don't have a DVI cable anymore unless i would have checked that point too.
I have also narrowed the problem down to Apple's driver for the AMD Radeon 6630M graphics which my Mac mini also has. The driver will install without errors but then the blue screen appears on next startup. If I use safe mode to uninstall the AMD driver or renaming the atikmdag.sys file (the main cause of the crash), the blue screen goes away, but the display can't get the effects such as Aero interface.
AMD provides official drivers that don't recognize its own 6630m graphic card with Apple, then doesn't install any up-to-date driver... Only Apple's AtiGraphics setup program will install the drivers...but it makes Windows 7 crash at each boot.
Thanks for your technical skills or info to come over this issue (or releasing a bootcamp update ?)

W700 Win7 x64 blue screen after screen replacement

Hopefully somebody has a solution for this issue. Recently I sent my W700 in for a screen replacement and when I received it back, I installed my HD (Win7 x64 Ultimate) and the system would blue screen.
I tried all the different start up options and all failed with a blue screen
The blue screen goes away so fast I cannot see what it is telling me
Sometimes as it is attemption to boot I will see a screen that states "The boot selection failed because a required device is inaccessible"
I attempted a repair and see the following (the repair fails)
Windows Boot Mgr
ID 9DEA862C-5CDD-4E70-ACC1-F32B344D4795
Startup option will be added
Name: Win Recovery Env (Recovered)
Path: Recovery\103c3ec-e604-11de-a4f7-8c999d1797b9\Winre.wim
Windows Device: Partition-E476835 MB)
A copy of the current boot configuration data will be saved as D:\Boot\BCD.Backup.0001
I click Repair & Restart, the system blue screens when it boots
In that I was using my "production disk" I switched to the previous Win7 x64 Ultimate drive I had in the system - same failure and results with this drive as well
I then switched to the Vista drive that was in the system when I received it 0 same failure and results with this drive as well
I then installed a new 500GB drive and started a new build - this worked but I'm having trouble getting Outlook x32 2010 to work with my previous Outlook.pst file
I've restored the MBR and the 100MB partition on one of my Win7 drives using the MBR and 100MB partition from the new working drive - still I get the blue screen.
I need one of two solutions (as I see it)
Get my production Win7 x64 drive working (this is the drive that blue screens)
Get the new HD with the new Win7 build working with Outlook.
I've talked to the support center they don't know what is going on but offered to ship the W700 back and look at it. If they could not resolve the issue they would reimage the HD. This is not an acceptable solution. I already know that if I rebuild the HD it will work.

i know halflife is a lightweight game and battlefield is not, so more heavier load wil make my windows crash.
Reading almost every thread on this forum i can say i found my solution for the problem.
I read here that you recommend a pcu of at least: 12V > 20 ampere
but mine is only 16 ampere on 12V
I have 4 case fans> a WD raptor > dvd player, burner . etc. >>>> i think i will buy a new psu.
now i have another problem.
when i install the newest via drivers and i install the via 2.0/3.0 agp driver > i have this very strange problem.
when i install the nvidia drivers , the installation is ok > i look with the drivers , and there are none installed. > not even nvidia logo in the left corner (next clock)

strange isn't it.
in win xp (32 bit) i cannot install the latest via AGP 2.0/3.0 driver.
but with windows xp 64 i can without problems.
there are no blue screens anymore.
tyresmoke: you have advised me to buy a better psu. (i didnt buy one yet).
But the problem lies with the agp driver from via.
when i install this one and reboot> it always gives a blue screen> without the via driver > no blue screens (only blue screen with battlefield 1942 or vietnam)
there is something with my agp slot or hypertransport??
anyone suggestions?

Macbook pro keeps freezing or blue screen of death

I got my mackbook pro in april,all rammed up etc.I bought this laptop just to play poker on.Poker programs only work with windows[but knew about bootcamp,i'm running XP on it].The problems i'm having ,is that, once a day at least it shuts down itself[and cant tell me the driver problem blue screen of death] or secondly just freezes and then i have to power it off for it to work again.
I have took it to genius bar,which couldnt help[they said it was on windows so nothing to do with them,just reinstall windows again,GREAT HELP}.

Hey, I recommend backing up all your files manually via USB hardrive and then format your mac's hardrive, here's a link for instructions on how to format your mac's hdd: http://computers.tutsplus.com/tutorials/how-to-format-your-macs-hard-drive--mac- 53986
Also I recommend downloading the latest Mac OS X via the app store. The reason why I've recommended to back up all your files and programs manually and install a clean and new os is because when you put your data on manually, you significantly reduce the chances of the problem happening again and it looks like you have something inside your os that's slowing everything down. You'll also have the latest updates and support if you download the latest mac os x. You should also back up your Mac via time machine as well so you have a image of your OS. I recommend installing a SSD drive inside your MacBook as they make a huge difference in performance, your computer will preform almost instantly, it only takes 7 seconds for your mac to boot into the os and everything else you do is pretty much instantly. They can be a little expensive but they're coming down in price and they're with it! http://www.amazon.co.uk/Crucial-CT480M500SSD1-2-5-inch-480GB-Internal/dp/B00BQ8R HJ2
I've had the same problem before and I hope that helps.
Good luck
