Satellite L840 - BIOS update and blue screen

Hello,
I recently bought a Toshiba L840-04E (PSK8LA- O4E007) and installed Windows 7 64bit.
Issue: BlueScreen
Question: I assume this is the dreaded "blue screen of death" and I need to do something to prevent servious problems in the future (I've used the laptop lightly for a couple of days with no issues).
How do I analyze the dump information to find out what caused the blue screen?
Or is it best to go back to the last restore point before the blue screen event? A restore point was made before I updated the BIOS from v 1.80 to 6.20. Also, Toshiba shows that there is a new BIOS 6.30 version.
Before the blue screen event I had changed the setting for the on/off button to "shut down" and made a few minor other changes to settings and then just before the blue screen error I plugged in a Seagate External Hard Drive.
Are there any suggestions about what steps I should take?
Thanks so much.

Hi
Generally the BSOD appears due to serious software problem or hardware problem.
You said you connected an external USB HDD to the notebook right before the BSOD appeared so probably the BSOD was caused by the attached HDD who knows
If this happened for the first time, dont be afraid it could be just a temporal problem
But if it would appear often, you should investigate a little bit and should try to replicate the issue and the reason for that

BIOS Update causes Blue Screen of Death - PLEASE HELP

PLEASE HELP!!
After recently reformatting a Lenovo 3000 N200 (XP SP3), I downloaded the Lenovo Care (or whatever it's called), which downloaded a whole lot of updates, drivers....
The last thing that was downloaded was a BIOS Update. Before flashing and reprogramming the BIOS, the program created a backup of the old BIOS.
Since the BIOS Update, I can no longer turn on the laptop without the BSOD (Blue Screen of Death). When I try to turn it on, it shows the Lenovo startup screen, then goes to the "previous attempt was interrupted" menu (the menu where you can choose 'Safe Mode'...), and no matter which option I choose, it starts to show the XP startup screen (with the progress bar), for 1/2 a second, then displays the BSOD for 1/2 a second (too fast too even read what it says or even get the error code).
What can I do to remedy the situation? Can I somehow access the backup of the old BIOS to restore it? Or is there something else I can do?
BTW, When I click F1 on the Lenovo startup screen (to get into the BIOS settings) it shows the BIOS version to be "68ET35WW (V3.03) - which is apparently the latest version for that laptop

If you have restored the device as new and tested it without using your backup and it is still malfunctioning, then you need to make an appointment with the Genius Bar of the nearest Apple Store or Authorized Apple Service provider, depending on your location, and have the hardware checked.

Lenovo G530 bios update now blue screen!!!

Ok i have a lenovo G530 with service code 4446-23u. I downgraded to windows XP and it was running fine. I was on lenovo.com and saw that there were newer bios then what i was using(i think i had 1.06, and there is now 1.09 ) so i decided to flash my bios to get them up to date. It flashed fine and asked me to reboot so i said Ok and now everytime i try to start the computer it goes through the bios screen onto the windows XP boot screen then flashes the "Blue Screen" and reboots. It won't start in safe mode or any mode. I put in my XP disk to reinstall XP and i get it to boot from cd and it loads for a while then goes to the "blue screen". Anyone know what is causing this? or how to fix it? I am completely fine with going back to the old bios but don't know how to do that or if its possible.
these are the bios i used:

Hi beginner_2012,
Thank you for your post, I will do my best to assist you.
I grasp that you were getting the error "display driver amd driver stopped responding and has successfully recovered" quite often. Then a few days later you got the blue screen then the above error message, after 2 -3 more errors the screen is now blank or black. Here is a document to assist you with this. Troubleshooting Black Screen Displays with No Error Messages During Startup or Boot.

Satellite A100 bios update does not work correctly

Hi,
I have a Satellite A100-153 PSAA9E and using Vista OS.
How do I install the new bios?? I run the .exe and nothing happens it shows that it extracts some files and then a notepad text appears that says something like this.
' INVENEC Pre-Flash Script for SanAntonio10
' 09/26/2006 Version 1.0.0.3
On Error Resume Next
'=== Declare Variables & Objects
Dim WshObj, objArgs
Dim WMIObj, chipset
Dim InfoStr, WorkPath
Dim VideoType
Dim fso, oFile etc....
and then an error appears that says if the SanAntonion10 BIOS590MP.exe is installed correct.
pls help

Hm, sounds a little bit weird. I would suggest you to do the following:
go to the drivers download page
-> http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com/cgi-bin/ToshibaCSG/download_drivers_bios.jsp
Download the latest common modules if available and RE-download the BIOS update.
Then try it again. If this doesnt help then perform a full system recovery, download the BIOS update and then it MUST work.

Dead satellite after bios update

hi everybody,
a friend of mine bought a new toshiba satellite A500-1GP laptop a month ago. Windows 7 pro 64bit preinstalled. also preinstalled: toshiba support software which - properly configured - automatically searches for and installs critical patches and updates. last sunday this wonderful piece of software recomended a "critical update" to my friend - she is no expert but an experienced user who can tell the difference between a bios update (and avoid that!) and a security patch she agreed to download and install what she believed to be a security update.
of course she gave permission to a bios update being installed. during the update process the machine froze completely. she waited for three hours and then pulled the plug. guess what: the machine is now completely defunct. no lights no display no fan, simply nothing.
toshiba support hotline told her that her two weeks old laptop is not under warranty because that warranty does not cover "software problems" and bios updates are software updates. the repair company says a repair will most likely equal to buying a new laptop so here we are...
my questions:
1) the laptop is a Satellite A500-1GP (PSAR9E-01M00QGR) with a phoenix UEFI bios (the toshiba/phoenix bios update tool 1.1.26 is pretty radical - no warnings at all !!! it even tried to update my dell laptop as well, lucky me!). I have found some posts regarding older machines which can be reflashed by using an usb-floppy, a dos bios rescue disk and a key-combination (Fn+B or Fn+F...). is there a way to do that with an UEFI bios.
2) does anybody out there have the same problem ?
3) any chance to get toshiba to help us with that issue and prevent others making the same mistake by at least include some sort of warning into their bios updates ?
thanks for your help !
tony

Problem solved! It was a stick of RAM that wasn't seated properly. The laptop is working fine Thanks for all your help guys!

Re: IPAD2 very slow after IOS 8 upgradein response to pacoKAS
SOLVED: IOS 8 Issues on iPad 2:
I just returned home from a visit to the Genius Bar. Like you and many others, when I upgraded my iPad 2 to IOS 8, it became practically unusable. It was VERY slow, lagged whenever trying to to do anything. Lots of screen freezes and apps spontaneously crashing. I was convinced that the processor on the iPad 2 just couldn't handle the new IOS and I went in to see about restoring to IOS 7.
Thankfully, I was hooked up with a very sharp guy at the bar. The problem is not with the OS, it is with it being an *upgraded* OS. He used the analogy of when you had an older Windows computer and how over time (and over upgrades), they just tended to get slower and slower because of all of the garbage that was carried forward in the upgrades. At those times (and if you've ever had a Windows computer, you get this), the only thing that would speed it up would be to wipe the machine and do a fresh install of the current OS and then reload your apps, and the viola, everything would be fast again. Well, it turns out that IOS can suffer the same problems.
THE FIX: FIRST, be sure you have a current iCloud backup of your device. Connect your iPad to a computer that has a clean fresh copy of IOS 8 on iTunes (this is best done with a computer other than the one that you sync your device to because you DO NOT want to restore it from a back up just yet). Ideally, if you do this at an Apple store you'll be assured of the right version there and someone to answer any questions you might have along the way. You then hold the power and home button down to hard-reset the device and continue to hold them down until it reboots into recovery mode. You then follow the instructions on the computer to reinstall the OS on the device (which wipes everything from it and then reinstalls a clean copy of it). Once this is done (which only takes about 15 minutes), your device will reboot and ask you to set it up. Answer the questions about language, location, etc. and continue until it asks you to log into your iTunes account. Once you do that, it will ask if you want to either 1) Set it up as a new device, 2) Restore from iCloud, or 3) Restore from iTunes. Choose (2), restore from iCloud. This will ensure that it brings down "clean" copies of all of your apps and preferences rather than the potentially corrupted ones that might reside in your iTunes backup. That's it! It will take a few hours depending on how much data and apps you have, but I am happy to report that my iPad 2 is now running IOS 8 and it's running as fast as it ever did when it was brand new!
To sum it up, this process 1) Wipes your device and the garbage causing your problems, 2) Loads a clean and bug-free version of IOS 8 to your device, and 3) restores your apps and data so that it looks just like it did before the wipe, with the exception that it works now! :-)
Note also that by following this process you don't have to go through the painful and laborious process of reloading all of your apps, data and/or settings. iCloud takes care of all of that for you.

Can Motion 5 replace a green screen and blue screen in the same shot?

Can Motion 5 replace a green screen and blue screen in the same shot? I would like to replace a green screen with one image, and a blue screen with another.

Fox gives a good example for keying green & blue (or any other color) from the same shot. I'd suggest doing a few things to get better accuracy.
First, the motion keyer always removes the color it detects the most of by default (blue/green). You can override this by setting the Strength parameter to zero, then use the Color sample tool to select the color you want. The advantage is motion will do a good job of targeting only the hue (color) that you want to remove and set an appropriate starting softness. It also will remove spill based on this color. Looking at Fox's example movie and the shot, I'd approach the same shot this way:
Remove the Blue
1. Apply the keyer and set the strength to zero.
2. Use the Sample Color tool and select the blue (or other color) to be removed.
3. Decrease the spill level (if needed). In Fox's example the spill from the blue glasses is going to be minimal, especially compared to the green screen, your shot may need different adjustments. Only de-spilling what you need to will give you more accurate color right away and minimize additional color correction that might be needed later.
4. Use the Color selection tools (Chroma wheel/Luma bar) to fine tune. Ideally you want a minimal tolerance, the inner selection, with a nice fall off, the outer selection. Try with the Scrub boxes setting first, then switch to manual if you need more control. Again see Fox's example.
Remove Green
It's the same as the blue, you could apply the keyed to the same clip or a parent group, at this point it's many user preference.
With these techniques you can remove any color from a shot or create a mask based on a color. BTW, as you are learning to use the keyer I'd highly recommend having the Color Selection open so you can see the graphs. These give you real time feedback as you make selections and changes with the Strength, Refine and Color selection tools. Watch what happens as you make selection or changes, sometimes the problem area is actually in the brightness not the color, or the softness may change more than the tolerance selection. Observing what is happening in these graphs will help you figure out wha to change and speed things up.

Cropping and Blue Screening - 2 unrelated questions.

1) When I straighten a still in Canvas by using the wire frame, to make a house level, say, the cropping lines, naturally, move with it. So a cropping line at an angle will give me a slanting top and bottom line. So how can I crop it so that the picture has a square aspect? Is the only recourse to go back to the original site for the picture, GIMP or iPhoto, perhaps, crop it there and re-import the photo into FCE? Or is there a quicker way?
2) I have added a number of videos above my main video to show, for example, falling snow, and eliminated their black background by Modify - Composite Mode - Screen. Very easy and by no means unusual. So, my question, is, why all the fuss about green and blue screening? Setting it up seems troublesome. A black background for the purpose is much easier to make, and, for that matter, easier to find. I looked down my back yard this morning and this side of the creek are jet black bushes which would seem ideal for such a purpose. This seems such a no-brainer that I think I must be missing something. But it is curious.

1) I shall immediately turn to the garbage matte section in your book - I'm sure I remember seeing one - and work it out from there. And here I always thought a garbage matte was that rug I bought in Cairo.
2) A black screen. That does give me a thought. When I return to my upcoming masterpiece, " "Orrible Murder at the Castle Doom" I could put one of my granddaughters in a black suit, photograph her against a black background and Voila! a floating head. I wonder if they give out Oscars for original ideas?
Once more. Thank you.

My ipnone 5s keeps crashing and blue screening any advice

My ipnone 5s keeps crashing and blue screening any advice

Basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new). Try each of these in order until the issue is resolved.

Grey screen no apple followed by blue screen with vertical lines. Graphics and logic board replaced 6 months ago. What to do? I held down shift, it gets HOT HOT and makes noises. (for safety mode) followed by a blank grey screen and blue screen

grey screen no apple followed by blue screen with vertical lines. Graphics and logic board replaced <6 months ago. What to do? I held down shift, it gets HOT HOT and makes noises. (for safety mode) followed by a blank grey screen and blue screen. Then tried the other way (sorry, I think it's command alt delete? I don't remember) and it turned from grey (no apple symbol) to blue blank. Then third time, grey followed by blue with vertical lines, not blocky clear lines that you can see if you are close to it.
Thanks for any help!

You have to take the computer to the Apple store to have it checked out.

Satellite L630-10R - Won't boot and blue screen

Hi everyone,
I recently bought this laptop that had everything to satisfy me, unfortunately, I've been encountering a problem since yesterday night and I want to try everything reasonable before bringing it back to guarantee.
I was using the computer quite casually (online games, web browsing, VoIP mostly) when it decided to shutdown and reboot. Now, everytime I try to boot windows, even in safe mode, I get a blue screen as soon as I've entered my password. The same problem happens when trying to run in safe mode.
I thought it could just be a really aggressive and efficient virus and thought it was well deserved, knowing I hadn't installed an antivirus yet. So I burned an Ubuntu liveCD on another computer and tried to recover my data from there, but to no avail : Ubuntu won't start either, instead it just gives me some kind of memdump or stacktrace (at least I guess it is, because it's got hexadecimal addresses and what looks like function names)
I'm kinda stuck and I really don't understand what could have caused this. Any idea would be appreciated. An error code that showed up when trying to boot windows, but that does not _always_ show up, is something along the lines of *DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL*
Thanks in advance,
shin

Hi,
sorry for the late reply, I was busy this week end but I finally solved my problem on sunday in the evening by updating the BIOS from the 1.4 version to the 1.7 version using a bootable CD. No more blue screen when starting windows and no more problem with Ubuntu either (which I had been able to run in the meantime with the "noacpi" option.)
I wasn't able to find the recovery CD like you suggested, I'm not even sure it was in the box - then again, I'm not the most tidy person in the world and it could be anywhere in the room as far as I know...), but thank you anyway for taking the time to reply. =)
