  • Computer goes blue screen and comes back slow

         I have a 27 inch 2010 imac and evertime i log in my screen goes blue and my mouse has a hard time moving.  Then after a will the screen goes blue again and my computer fine.  Then a will after my computer goes blue screen and it slow again.  And it keeps doing this like 10 times then it just stopes.  I have no clue whats wrong with it??

    Hello, see how many of these you can answer...
    See if the Disk is issuing any S.M.A.R.T errors in Disk Utility...
    http://support.apple.com/kb/PH7029
    Open Activity Monitor in Applications>Utilities, select All Processes & sort on CPU%, any indications there?
    How much RAM & free Disk space do you have also, click on the Memory & Disk Usage Tabs.
    Open Console in Utilities & see if there are any clues or repeating messages when this happens.
    In the Memory tab of Activity Monitor, are there a lot of Pageouts?
    One way to test is to Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, Test for problem in Safe Mode...
    PS. Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive
    Reboot, test again.
    If it only does it in Regular Boot, then it could be some hardware problem like Video card, (Quartz is turned off in Safe Mode), or Airport, or some USB or Firewire device, or 3rd party add-on, Check System Preferences>Accounts (Users & Groups in later OSX versions)>Login Items window to see if it or something relevant is listed.
    Check the System Preferences>Other Row, for 3rd party Pref Panes.
    Also look in these if they exist, some are invisible...

  • Lightroom 4.1 (3, 4 or any version) causes computer to blue screen and crash

    Recently bought the new Lightroom 4.1 in an attempt to fix this issue, which had been occuring off and on for some time.  I have major difficulties with importing and/or rendering previews or editing Canon 5D Mark II and Canon 5D Mark III images using Lightroom.  The computer abruptly blue screens, then reboots.  The blue screen code is 124.  I'll attach a record of minidumps (all caused by editing or importing images using LR4.)
    Not sure if that can be viewed, but please ask so I can send you the dump file for inspection if necessary.  It essentially shows the Bug Check Code as 0x00000124, caused by address ntoskrnl.exe+4b09bc.

    I have an 850W PSU.  Running Windows 7 Ultimate on a 150GB SSD.
    I find this very frustrating because it's a PC that I built and that can do any complex task--anything from using PS CS4 with multiple layers, playing top-end games like Crysis 2 and Diablo 3 with graphics on full.  Other than this RAW development issue, the computer is flawless and VERY fast.  Anyone have any ideas, or see a hole in the system specs?
    Cheers,
    _E

    The video driver is up to date, and I would assume compliant with LR4.
    My BIOS version is default, and I tried installing new BIOS updates but ran into troubles.  The Asus motherboard uses ATI Catalyst to introduce new system updates, but it fries my PC (assuredly a conflict with my nVidia card) making the rig run even slower.  In fact, using the ATI Catalyst disc (the one that came with my mobo) crashed once I had tried to install any motherboard utilities!  I've gone through the BIOS configuration and turned off all of this mobo's overclocking features and set everything to default.
    No overclocking going on whatsoever--not once, and never will.
    Reseated the memory and tested the memory with no negative feedback.
    The PSU is relatively new and of high quality.  I replaced an old PSU because of exactly what you mentioned above.  It's a Corsair GS800 (not 850W, 800W).
    I'm at the point right now where I suspect the motherboard is failing me somehow.  I only bought it because I was in a rush and would have normally opted fro a "non-overclocking-enthusiast's" board.  Perhaps there's a way of updating BIOS without utilizing the disc (the ATI Catalyst, more to the point?)
    The PC is new in a sense.  I seem to recall a point where LR3 worked with fewer crashes.  I built the thing April 2011.  Just reinstalled Windows 7 and all the software again.

  • When I connect my iPod touch 2 32GB, the computer shows blue screen and it will restart

  • Since I did the recent firefox update the it takes up the entire screen and I can see nothing on top or bottom and my screen controls do not help this. What can I do?

    There are no more details to give.

    Make sure that you do not run Firefox in full screen mode (press F11 or Fn + F11 to toggle; Mac: command+Shift+F).<br />
    If you are in full screen mode then hover the mouse to the top to make the Navigation Toolbar and Tab bar appear.<br />
    You can click the Maximize button at the top right to leave full screen mode or right click empty space on a toolbar and use "Exit Full Screen Mode" or press F11.<br />

  • After the recent iPhoto update, all my themes are gone. Now I can't print.

    After the recent iPhoto update, all my themes vanished so now i can't print. What the heck?

    To re-install iPhoto
    1. Put the iPhoto.app in the trash (Drag it from your Applications Folder to the trash)
    2a: On 10.5:  Go to HD/Library/Receipts and remove any pkg file there with iPhoto in the name.
    2b: On 10.6: Those receipts may be found as follows:  In the Finder use the Go menu and select Go To Folder. In the resulting window type
    /var/db/receipts/
    2c: on 10.7 and later they're at
    /private/var/db/receipts
    A Finder Window will open at that location and you can remove the iPhoto pkg files.
    3. Re-install.
    If you purchased an iLife Disk, then iPhoto is on it.
    If iPhoto was installed on your Mac when you go it then it’s on the System Restore disks that came with your Mac. Insert the first one and opt to ‘Install Bundled Applications Only.
    If you purchased it on the App Store or have a Recent Mac you can find it in your Purchases List.

  • After the most recent iPhoto update, I keep getting the following error: "iPhoto quit unexpectedly while using the Sonix SN9c201 webcam plugin."  This seems to happen after *every* iPhoto update.  Is there a fix on the way?

  • Hello, I'm pretty sure my fan on my 2009 mac book pro has stopped running. Would this cause the computer to slow down and take for ever to boot up and show the color wheel every time I select an application ?

    Hello, I'm pretty sure my fan on my 2009 mac book pro has stopped running. Would this cause the computer to slow down and take for ever to boot up and show the color wheel every time I select an application ? how involved to replace fan ? cost ?
    thanks

    Not directly, but if the CPU overheats because of incompatible software, that would cause slowdowns. Do not allow the computer to run if the fan is not working unless you wish to fry your motherboard. Please make a Genius Appointment and take it in for service.

  • Youtube Crashes my computer. Blue Screen event.

    OK, so, I have a Toshiba laptop that runs Windows Vista. The internet browser I use is Mozilla Firefox ( just recently downloaded a new beta version of it too and tried that, didn't fix anything). Every time when I'm on youtube, my computer shuts down and gives me a blue screen (sometimes it takes one hour, two hours, three hours, or more, it's also done it right after the computer starts, and I've tried with only youtube open, so it's not that I'm running too many things, I don't think). Then it restarts itself before I have the chance to read anything on the blue screen and tells me that windows is recovering from an unexpected shutdown. It gives me nothing when I look for a solution, but these are the details it gives me:
    Problem signature:
    Problem Event Name: BlueScreen
    OS Version: 6.0.6002.2.2.0.768.2
    Locale ID: 1033
    Additional information about the problem:

    OS Version: 6_0_6002

    C:\Users\MustangGirl\AppData\Local\Temp\WERC090.tm p.version.txt
    I've looked in the youtube support forum. They referred me to the Microsoft support forum to look for a solution.
    Then I figured I should check the manufacturer's website. At first I was sure it was something wrong with my DVD driver, but I fixed that and it's still happening. A little over a week ago, I did a system restore back to factory point, so I'm not convinced that that'll work, however I didn't start having this problem until AFTER I did the restore...so maybe that was it? I don't know.
    Someone suggested that I've acquired a virus. I have anti-virus software.
    And it can't have anything to do with my computer overheating because I use a cooling pad. Any help at all would be very appreciated!
    Oh! And it happens in Internet Explorer as well. And I always check for Windows Updates on my computer. I download them when I have them, but right now I don't have any new important ones.
    I was finally able to get the blue screen to stay long enough for me to read it. It said that it was shutting down because it detected a problem and was trying to prevent any damage to my computer. It said that if I had never seen the message before, to just restart, but if I had seen it before to follow a bunch of steps which I don't completely understand...
    To check if had adequate disk space (--adequate for what?)
    If a driver is identified in the stop message (which I don't know if one is) I need to disable that driver (which I don't know how) or check with the manufacturer for driver update (I'm guessing it means on Toshiba's website?)
    Change video adapters (once again...no clue?)
    It also tells me to check the hardware vendor for BIOS update (don't know what that is or how to do it)
    Disable BIOS memory options such as caching or shadowing (still don't know)
    Then it tells me how to get into safe mode if I need to do it that way.
    Then it says this:
    STOP: 0x0000008E (0x0000005, 0x8D8497C0, 0xA6EFB6B8, 0x00000000)
    igdKmd32.sys - Address 8D8497C0 base at 8D803000, DateStamp 4851d0b0
    And then says a bunch of stuff about dumping memory something to disk or whatever.
    So ya...if anyone knows what any of this means and can help me out...PLEASE DO!
    PS. A BETA version of Mozilla Firefox is my default browser right now since in the past I have encountered issues with Internet Explorer

    Hi
    To be honest I never had any problems watching the videos from youtube.
    You will need to have the flash player plugin and I noticed that new flash player version has been released. So check this
    Update the flash player
    Back to BSOD issue it can happen due to hardware or software issue but in your case I think its software related.
    If the flash update does not help, recover the unit again and test it with new fresh preinstalled OS.

  • MacBook Pro hanging with blue screen and spinner after installing Software Update

    Hi I was wondering if someone could help me with this current issue. Just a few hours ago I finished reinstalling Mac OS X Snow Leopard in my MacBook Pro. I performed a clean installation as part of a yearly spring cleaning that I do on all my systems to keep them optimized. So there was I downloading some software updates which included the combo update of OSX 10.6.8 and others. The updates finished downloading and the system logged out to install the updates, when the updates finished installing my MacBook proceeded by logging out into a blue screen and show a gray spinner similar to the one seen when you start your Mac. Here's the problem after 2 hours the system is showing the spinner and the blue screen, I think that my computer has just hanged in the reboot process.
    I was wondering what should I do? Do a force restart? Or leave it overnight?
    Also, where can I find any information on what error is causing this issue?
    I appreciate your responses and help.
    By the way, I installed Mac OS X from a USB stick that has the original image of the disk installer that came bundled with my computer.

    Force a shutdown. Do not restart yet, but first do the following:
    Repair the Hard Drive
    Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported, then quit DU and return to the installer.
    If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
    Next, boot into Safe Mode then restart normally.
    Hi Kappy,
    Checked the hard drive after forcing a shutdown and booting from my Snow Leopard Installer USB Key and the status of the HDD says "Verified". I ran the repair and the volume was repaired successfully. Clicked on "Verify Disk" and it says "Macintosh HD appears to be OK". So I ran a second repair and again no errors were reported.
    As suggested I booted back again in Safe Mode and restarted normally. All software appears to have been installed successfully. But I don't understand why my computer hanged and showed the spinner after installing the updates in the blue screen that appears just before rebooting. I am aware that the system shows that spinner after a OS update but the longest it lasts is 30 seconds at the most in my previous cases.

  • Update Word and now can't even login! Blue Screen and returns to login!

    Hi,
    I'm new to Macs and recently put Word onto it. Went to use it a couple of days ago and it said that it had a critical update for Word. So I clicked yes to update.
    Next thing...it all froze!
    Then took me to login screen. Initially I just thought..."Oh it's restarted after update." But when I logged in it accepted password...went to a blue screen and came back to the login.
    Now I can't get into my mac!
    Please help...what do I do!!???

    There are a couple possibilities. Start out by turning the computer on while holding down the 'Shift' key until you see the grey Apple. This is a safe boot and you can read more about it here. If the computer boots up to the login screen and you can log into your account the problem may be solved. The failed Word update may simply have led to a scrambled cache file that kept the computer from booting.
    The other possibility I'd consider is that the update failed due to a disk drive error. If the safe boot doesn't work get out your System disc and restart your computer with it. (Start the computer, hold the 'C' key and insert the System Restore disc. Once it has booted, move to the Utilties menu and select Disk Utility. Perform a repair and if it reports the drive isn't repairable you'll know that's the problem - and we can talk about what to do next.

  • Deskjet 6940 causing a blue screen and rebooting PC on bootup

    I have a strange problem with a clients PC.  Whenever it boots up, if the Deskjet 6940 is connected via a usb cable it blue screens and reboots.  The PC was recently updated to Service Pack 3, at first I thought the amount of memory was too low (248 mb, with 8 shared with video).  So I upgraded the memory to 1 Gb but it still happens, if the printer is not plugged in it goes into Windows and works fine.  if I then plug the printer in it reboots immediately.
    I've tried different USB sockets, I've tried uninstalling the drivers and all the HP software, rebooting and downloading the latest drivers from HP.  This seemed to cure it for a few hours, but later that same day the client called me again to say it had rebooted again.
    I have spoken to HP support in the UK and was told that HP have issues with Service Pack 3 of XP.  I found this hard to believe and also embarrassing - this is a new IT support contract and I recommended that all the PC's were upgraded to SP3.

    I would suggest you upgrade teh drivers for your motherboard and also update the BIOS of your motherboard too and see if that resolves the issue.
    Make it easier for other people to find solutions, by marking my answer with \'Accept as Solution\' if it solves your problem.

  • My MacBook Pro is now asking for a login. When I enter my passcode, it goes to a blue screen and back to the login screen. I saw several older posts, but nothing recently. I am running Snow Leopard.

    My MacBook is now asking for a password. When I login, it loops to a blue screen, and back to the login. Incorrect logins create a shaking of the login screen. I tried restarting with the shift key depressed, with no luck.

    I performed a hard shutdown, and upon start I could access my system without logging on. I'm not sure what caused the issue, but I have not booted up in almost a week.

    Insert the install disk and press c on startup. Select your langauge then, if there's a menubar click utilities then click Disk Utility. If you didn't see the menubar continue with the installer until you see it.
    Once in disk utitly select the drive and repair permissions.
    After the repair is done, quit the utiltiy.
    You can try to reboot and see if it works if you reboot, but if it doesn't repeat the same as before again.
    Now you can continue with the installer and install the os.
    Quit
