Satellite C650 - Blue screen when trying to install XP

Hey,
For some kind of werid reason my win 7 just disappeard, and now I am trying to install Xp.
And suddenly, when the installation is right about to start, I get blue screen.
Do anybody know why I get blue screen, and a possible solution to this problem.
PS: The XP cd is not bought from Toshiba

ok,
go to bios, and find advanced settings, then 3rd from the top is about your Sata/IDE. Change this settings from SATA to ide, and then no more blue screen. I had the same problem when I wanted to change system.
Unfortunately this complication is too slow to run WIN 7, win7 i would suspect needs at least 2GB of RAM to run system on good level. Standard 1GB is not enough. Also processor is damn slow... On XP everything works perfect.
Cheers

  • Blue Screen When Trying To Install Leopard

    Hi
    So I've just picked up this old iBook G4 for next to nothing. I popped in a new 512MB RAM stick and a 20GB HDD to see if I could get it up and running.
    My friend gave me his old Leopard install DVD, so I booted it up and formatted the drive to Apples spec. I then began the installation.
    The machine began to check the disk integrity, which was taking quite a while. I went to check on it and it had frozen at 21% (the mouse wouldn't move), so I turned the machine off.
    Following some information on the internet I booted into Single User mode (CMD-S) and ran 'fsck -f'. Upon rebooting my machine now displays the Apple logo, spinning wheel and then goes to a blue screen where it hangs. I have read here that it could be an issue with a chip overheating. I find this hard to believe in my case because I can leave the machine running in single user terminal without any freezes. (I have been running fsck a few times to test this).
    Any ideas?
    EDIT: Just did a verbose boot - the only error message that jumped out was ''no interface name for airport.." which came up twice. Does this help?
    Thanks a lot

    When it freezes up like that, the first thing to try is a force-quit. Hold down the Command + Option keys and then press the escape key. If this works, a box will pop up which will allow you to quit applications which are not responding.
    If a force-quit doesn't work, you can do a hard shutdown by holding down the power button for five to ten seconds. Then try to start up using Safe Mode. This takes quite a lot longer than a regular startup because it does a check and repair of the hard drive. If this works, you will see your normal desktop. Once completely started up in Safe Mode, try to restart normally, and go to Applications > Utilities > Disk Utility. Click on the top hard drive icon in the left sidebar and note the S.M.A.R.T. status at the bottom right of the pane. What does it say? If it says the drive is failing, it definitely needs to be replaced (but even if it doesn't say so, this could still be the problem).
    When my hard drive in my MacBook failed, there was no restarting it in any way, and no recovering of anything on it.
    Good luck.

  • Windows Blue Screen - when trying to re-sync an IPOD after doing 5 R's

    My windows based Itunes failed to recognize my ipod, so I trouble shooted and finally ended up doing the 5 R's.
    This resulted in a "Blank Ipod" (after restore).
    I was able to successfully get Itunes to recognize my ipod after the restore. That is when a "major problem" occurred.
    When my 37 gigs of MP3s on my PC attempt to automatically update onto my "blank ipod", my system crashes giving me the dreaded windows BLUE SCREEN! The error messgae indicates that a physical memory dump occurred and the system shuts down.
    I figure it has something to do with all of those gigs trying to update onto the ipod. SO, I start to manually transfer (drag and drop) about 100 mp3s at a time onto the ipod within itunes. It still crashed after the 3rd batch of 100 mp3s.
    Has anyone experienced this? Does it have anything to do with Mirosoft's newest IE vunerability? I use Firefox usually, but sometimes HAVE to use IE. What can I do?
    This really *****.
    thanks for your help.

    hi zeppy!
    hmmmmmm. a 0x7E? that's not the most commonly reported BSOD code here.
    but the MS KB seemed to have at least one clue for us.
    (1) sometimes people can get blue screens when they plug in an ipod if their FireWire, USB, or dock has gone bad. i see from that STOP message resource that the 0x7E can be associated with dodgy USB.
    by way of tracking down that possibility, do you still get the BSOD if you connect to a different port? (or, if you've got a dock, connect directly to a port instead?)
    (2) on general principles, we'd better check for malware. download fresh definitions and run vigorous virus and spyware scans. if your security software providers offer online scans, run those as well. (they can sometimes pick up an infection in cases where the security software on the PC has been compromised.)
    (3) especially if you've recently installed any new hardware on your PC, head into Device Manager to check to see if there's any alert/warning messages showing up next to any of your devices. if you see any, what do they say?
    (4) let's also let's also capture a minidump of the crash and send it to the Discussions Hosts, so they can throw it over the fence for the Apple engineers to analyze.
    To set up your machine to capture a minidump, right click on "My Computer", select "Properties", select the "Advanced" tab, select the "Startup and Recovery" Settings button, select "small memory dump" from the popup. When it crashes, look for the MiniDump file. It's usually in the folder "C:\WINDOWS\Minidump" and is called something like Mini<number>-<number>.dmp.
    And then send it to a Discussions Host. It doesn't hurt to put the URL to this discussion thread, so that whoever gets it has some context. Also give as much information about the context of the crash (in the email) as you can.

  • Blue screen when trying to connect ipod

    When trying to connect my ipod to my computer it reboots it into a blue screen that looks something like this...
    STOP: 000000007F (0000000008, 0X80154000 etc, etc.)
    minidump something something.
    I looked in my minidump folder but there was nothing in it. Any suggestions?

    Okay.
    Let's see if we can get a minidump generated for the crash.
    1) Open your system control panel (Start->Control Panels->System).
    2) Select the "Advanced" tab.
    3) Click the "Startup and Recover" section's "Settings" button
    4) Verify that under "System Failure" the "Automatically restart" checkbox is not checked.
    With those settings in place, does a minidump file get generated for the crash?

  • IMovie 09 - get blue screen when trying to import from camera

    I have used previous versions of iMovie without incident. Today when I tried to import some footage from my Sony TRV950 via firewire, all I get is a blue screen with the counter rolling but no import.
    I can see the footage playing on my camera.
    My camera is listed as DV-VCR (DV) in the import window.
    Any tips?

    I had the same issue with the blue screen. To resolve it I quit imovie and unplugged firewire cable. Started imovie the plugged in firewire. Created a new event, went to import, clicked play, selected add to event( the one I just created)
    and it started playing and imported fine.
    Hope that helps

  • New hard drive, get grey screen when trying Leopard install

    We installed a new hard drive ourselves in my G4 older Mac Mini ~ 120 GB, with a video tutorial and photo guide, and this seemed to go very well ~ took less than an hour. The Ram was also upgraded to 1gb (the max available) right before the hard drive (I paid to have this done, shouldn't have, I realize now, since that is easier than a harddrive install, I think). I upgraded the hard drive because the computer seemed to be failing, very slow etc.. The shop that installed the Ram told me they thought I needed a new hard drive.
    After the install seemed to go fine, I am trying to install Leopard and am having trouble.
    So this is a brand new hard drive with nothing on it, no operating system. I turned on the computer and got one gray screen with something in the middle of the screen ~ a small box, can't remember.
    Then I put in the Leopard disc, the fan came on and was noisy for a minute, and now it is compleltey quiet. But all I get is a new gray screen with Apple in the middle, nothing else. Any clues what to do next? I'm hoping there is nothing wrong with our hard drive installation. I'm not even sure how to get the disc out of the computer right now.
    Please help! Thanks!

    Javier's problem is that the system requires a PRAM reset - otherwise systems that start in verbose mode would then subsequently revert to normal startup automatically.
    Your problem may be that the new hard drive in your mini is not yet prepared correctly for the MacOS installer to recognise it.
    Once you are booted to the installer disk, instead of attempting an install, open Disk Utility in the Utilities menu. If the drive doesn't show up on the left, it is not correctly installed, and you will need to open the system up again and check that it is connected correctly. If it shows up in Disk Utility, you need to partition and format it correctly. To do that, click on the drive in Disk Utility to select it, then click the Partition tab. Under 'Volume Scheme, select a single volume, then click the Options button to bring up the partitioning choices. For a G4 mini, you want to select Apple Partition Map. Click OK to confirm and it will partition the drive and should also format it as Mac OS Extended (Journaled). Once that is done, you should then be able to run the MacOS installer which will then recognise the drive and allow the install.
    For reference, a G4 (PPC) Mac, (including the original minis) require Apple Partition Map partitioning, and Mac OS Extended (Journaled) formatting for a MacOS installer to recognise them.
    Intel Macs (including later minis) require GUID partitioning and Mac OS Extended (Journaled) formatting.

  • Black Screen when trying to install Windows 7 via Bootcamp

    Have seen many similar questions with not one solid answer.  I have a brand new 17" MacBook Pro with the regular 750 gig grive and a 200 something gig ssd primary drive. Running the latest version of OS X of course.
    Updated all of my software and then opened up Bootcamp and partitioed 40 gigs on the SSD drive for Windows 7. Stuck in the disc when it asked me to and clicked continue. It rebooted then immediately went to a black screen and tahts where it stays. I ahve tried both the 64bit and 32bit discs and it does the same no matter which one I use.
    How do I get windows 7 to install properly?
    Just my luck it says Apple doesnt offer phone support for installing Windows via Bootcamp.

    Try using Boot Camp Assistant to remove the Windows volume, then redo it.
    Waste of time and don't need to - there are Apple tech support articles
    http://www.apple.com/support/bootcamp
    There is/was one directed at the iMac w/ black screen.
    Using an electronic version, an ISO, bought through school, burned wtih Apple Disk Utility - that has to be burned at slowest reduced burn speed 2X to work - won 't boot, installs but fails during or after, various issues. But you seem to have both, therefore retail version of Windows 7 Home Premium.
    Is OS X also on the SSD? 40GB is actually a tight fit for Windows 7 64-bit. I could tell you why but just trust me when you add up page, hibernation, the SP1 update temp space requirment all on top of the 20GB for Windows itself. And then any data, applications, cache files.
    I'd disconnect the 750GB drive.
    There were updates last week.
    http://support.apple.com/downloads/
    "Solid answers" - really?
    A. there is a forum for Boot Camp
    Boot Camp
    Another for MacBook Pro
    MacBook Pro
    http://www.apple.com/support/macbookpro
    And this one? is for workstations (tower) Mac Pro.
    I know some tech articles say Apple only supports installing or using BCA and any issue with Windows is not under their support, though even there the Apple Boot Camp driver support have various issues and more trouble than I would expect or accept to claim "Windows on Mac" can be called supported - it isn't as seamless and of course no hand-holding.
    There is one step, feature added to 10.6.6 to "download" and save drivers to CD or flash memory - that has been broken and DOA (MacBook Air does need USB DVD external driver and that works) but having a full Boot Camp 3.2 on a memory stick and not having to go through 3.0 and 3.1 to get to the current supported version of 3.2? that doesn't work at all. - Which has led to 100x posts over "what do I do?" with it in the broken state it is in.
    This is an Apple SSD, or 3rd party? The 2011 MacBook Pro has had trouble as it should suppport SATA3 and that was what one of the firmware updates addressed.  Performance and lack or presence of TRIM in OS X is another area of concern.

  • IMac will only safe boot (blue screen when not safe booting).

    A buddy asked me to help with his Intel based iMac. It was giving a blue screen when trying to boot up (and an odd cursor along with the blue screen). The cursor moves around the blue screen but looks like two cursors. One cursor is a normal arrow pointer, the second is a rectangle about .25 inch wide and 1 inch tall made up of about 10 horizontal lines.
    I'm very familiar with Macs and OS X and was sure it was probably a messed up preference file (most likely login preference). It wasn't.
    Here's the odd circumstances:
    I have an intel macbook that if I use firewire target disk mode I can boot just fine off his iMac.
    His computer will not boot off my Macbook that is in firewire target disk mode.
    We cloned his hard drive to an external firewire hard drive (using Carbon Copy Cloner), my Macbook boots off it just fine, his iMac will not.
    He's been wanting to go to Leopard so we upgraded his computer (did basic upgrade), but it still blue screened (with odd cursor).
    Then we did an erase and install. Still no difference in behavior.
    I would almost be convinced that it's a hardware failure, but it will safe boot every time.
    Here's what happened when it died. His son was playing a Star Wars game (I'm not sure which one). The kid was in the middle of the game and paused it when it was time for dinner. When the kid went back to play, the computer was frozen. They tried everything to unfreeze it and ended up powering it down. Started the blue screen ever since.
    He's going to contact Apple (it's barely still under it's warranty) but I was hoping someone here has another idea what it could be.

    I found this topic while trying to find an answer to my problem. It seems we have a similar thing going on with our imacs (although mine is a much older crt imac). I'll copy and paste my original post from the imac board :
    Hi
    I received a free imac snow (G3 500mhz) from someone. He told me it was broke, and someone told him the logic board needed to be replaced.
    I brought it home and tried to start it up. It gave the '?' folder icon. I started up from an OS 9.1 cd - Success! Except there was no HD. I opened it up and discovered that the HD wasn't connect to the ATA cable. I was able to start up to a previously installed Tiger. Except once it booted it would quickly freeze - the mouse pointer would turn into a scrambled beach ball (very strange) and wouldn't move.
    I did some research and found about the potential problem with OS X and the imac's firmware. I restarted from the 9.1 CD and installed that OS. Everything seemed fine and was running ok (from my limited time on it). I then DL'd the latest firmware for the imac (4.1.9.) and tried to run it. Except the message came up that the latest firmware had already been installed. So i guess thats a good thing. I don't have to worry about firmware being a problem.
    So i did a zero out wipe on the HD and installed tiger from the dvd. But on the first restart after installation (where i should go to the set up assistant) I get the scrambled beach ball and it freezes.
    I thought perhaps the HD is faulty and ran disk utility on it - it came back as fine. I doubled checked to make sure it was set to 'master'. it sure was. I decided to swap out the HD anyways since i can't see what else could be the problem and put in a different 30gb IDE drive. I once again zeroed out the drive and did a fresh install of tiger. On restart i get the same scrambled beach ball and the freeze.
    I guess i should describe the scrambled beach ball. It's seems like the beach ball icon, except the bits that make it up are out of order and glitched out.. perhaps a video problem?
    Could this really be a logic board problem? It was working in OS 9.1 fine. It starts up from system CDs and DVDs fine. Wouldn't a logic board exhibit the same problems on those systems?
    Anyone have any idea?
    Update - starting in Safe mode (restart with shift held down) works, and i was able to update to the latest version of Tiger, but once i restart with the full system i get the same problem.
    This seems to me that it ISN'T a logic board problem, but more of a system software problem. Now my question is how do i isolate and fix the problem in Tiger?
    I guess i'll post this question in the Tiger forum, but if anyone has any ideas please let me know.
    Thanks

  • After getting the dreaded gray/blue screen, I tried to run disk repair on the internal disk. I got an error message saying "Disk Utility can't repair this disk and restore your backed-up files. The volume Macintosh HD could not be verified completely

    After getting the dreaded gray/blue screen, I tried to run disk repair on the internal disk. I got an error message saying "Disk Utility can't repair this disk and restore your backed-up files. The volume Macintosh HD could not be verified completely." What do I do now? This is an iMac and I'm running 10.6.8.

    Clean Install of Snow Leopard
    Be sure to make a backup first because the following procedure will erase
    the drive and everything on it. See below for how to clone a drive.
         1. Boot the computer using the Snow Leopard Installer Disc or the Disc 1 that came
             with your computer.  Insert the disc into the optical drive and restart the computer.
             After the chime press and hold down the  "C" key.  Release the key when you see
             a small spinning gear appear below the dark gray Apple logo.
         2. 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 the hard drive entry from the left side list (mfgr.'s ID and drive
             size.)  Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.  Set the number of
             partitions to one (1) from the Partitions drop down menu, click on Options button
             and select GUID, click on OK, then set the format type to MacOS Extended
             (Journaled, if supported), then click on the Apply button.
         3. When the formatting has completed quit DU and return to the installer.  Proceed
             with the OS X installation and follow the directions included with the installer.
         4. When the installation has completed your computer will Restart into the Setup
             Assistant. Be sure you configure your initial admin account with the exact same
             username and password that you used on your old drive. After you finish Setup
             Assistant will complete the installation after which you will be running a fresh
             install of OS X.  You can now begin the update process by opening Software
             Update and installing all recommended updates to bring your installation current.
    Download and install Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1.
    You may be able to backup your data if you have an erased external drive you can use. Before you do the above but after you have opened Disk Utility you can try to clone your drive:
    Clone using Restore Option of Disk Utility
      1. Open Disk Utility.
      2. Select the destination volume from the left side list.
      3. Click on the Restore tab in the DU main window.
      4. Select the destination volume from the left side list and drag
           it to the Destination entry field.
      5. Select the source volume from the left side list and drag it to
          the Source entry field.
      6. Double-check you got it right, then click on the Restore button.
    Destination means the external backup drive. Source means the internal startup drive.
    Now this will only work if the drive is accessible and can be cloned by Disk Utility. Otherwise, you would need to access your drive from another Mac that you can connect via Firewire - Target Disk Mode.

  • Computer goes to blue screen when ipod plugged in.

    I have tried all angles on this and still haven't been able to figure out.  Can somebody please offer some new knowledge?  I have tried some older suggestions awithout resolution.  Here is what is happening using Windows 7/lastest updated itunes and ipod 80g classic:
    My ipod was completely erased after trying to update through itunes as i normally do.  Now when i plug ipod into the itunes, it will not be recognized in the left column and after about 3 minutes my entire computer will go to blue screen and reboot itself.  I have tried restoring, checked diagnostics on ipod.  I think I may need some more info on opening itunes in safe mode and beginning from there, however I'm open for any other suggestions/links.  Thank You

    First off, have you made sure your Windows OS is up to date with all the latest patches and updates?  Have you also checked with your PC's manufacturer (such as Dell, Toshiba, etc) to make sure you have all the latest drivers, firmware and BIOS installed?
    Does the PC ever blue screen when the iPod is NOT connected?

  • Blue screen when attempting to use the dedicated video card

    I keep getting a blue screen when attempting to use the dedicated video card.
    I managed to install the AMD driver for it but without the other components like the Catalyst Control Center as it blue screened on startup when attempting to load the Catalyst Control Center.
    The OS loads fine. Any applications that don't use the dedicated video card runs fine. All other drivers install fine as well.
    Applications like games and Photoshop that switch to the dedicated video card on startup automatically crashes, the OS freezes then a blue screen appears.
    What could be causing the problem? This problem just recently appeared. Two weeks ago.

    Note sure but if we can know the system P/N others can look to see what drivers it has for the graphics to know what is there.
