Slow restart - blue screen BSOD and Boot Camp restart issue

After Snow Leopard install on Macbook Pro I have experienced a very slow startup and restart. The grey apple screen appears for about 25 secs and then the blue screen hangs for 2mins and 2 secs. Also when restarting from Boot Camp blue screen just stays and restart fails. I waited approx 25 mins and blue screen was still there. I have searched Console system log for clues but am not technically adept. hopefully someone can help. I have copied log below form recent restart (in OSX mode, not boot camp). My Windows Boot camp volume is called ERICGLPC and I can see some issue on the log but unsure what it means.

Your Mac may have if you didn't erase the log files
Without that, it could have been anything.

  • Snow Leopard - very slow restart / reboot and Boot Camp restart fail

    Hi
    After Snow Leopard installation on my Macbook Pro I have a very slow restart. I logged this immediately after install and waited till 10.6.1 was issued and installed but still have the same problems. Hope some one can help.
    For an normal restart or reboot I have the grey screen for about 25 secs and then the blue screen hangs for about 2 mins 30 secs before loading desktop. This is longer than Leopard and clearly not what Snow Leopard is meant to be. I have installed on an iMac as well and can see the new normal fast boot.
    I also have Windows on it's own partition and use in Boot Camp. I have used this successfully under Leopard.
    When I restart from Windows using the Start button and restart, Windows shuts down and then the mac starts up but gets stuck indefinitely on the blue screen. I have waited up to 25 mins then forced a shut down.
    However if I restart from Windows using the Boot Camp icon in the taskbar and choose the restart from MacOSX it shuts down windows and restarts the mac in record time!! about 25 secs grey screen and 25 secs blue screen. I can't get this in normal mac mode! - Bizarre.
    I have run Disk Utility, repaired permissions, run Tech Tool, Onyx, reset PRAM, deleted startup items plists and removed startup items from System Preferences Account.
    I have monitored the Console app for all the startup conditions noted above and will post below. In the logs of the normal mac reboot you can see something to do with Security Agent taking over 2 mins to load. Maybe that is a clue, but I don't understand these messages. Please note that the iStatsmenu app was installed after snow leopard and I had these slow startups before it's installation.
    If anyone technical can understand what the **** is going on here I would really appreciate your feedback.
    Regards
    Eric

    Hi guys
    Thanks for your contributions. I have made little progress on this issue since posting.
    Just as added info, I did a re-install of Snow leopard from install DVD and upgrade again to 10.6.1 and no change to the startup behaviours. Same pattern as before, although the first restart was fast and probably how it is meant to be, then the slow ones reappeared.
    I also had a thought that somehow it may be related to the nominated startup disk. There were posts on other boards about similar issues with Leopard where the hanging start was found to be related to the computer not knowing which startup disk to use. I thought maybe as it works when using the boot camp icon from Windows but not the restart button, it may be related, but in OSX and Windows both are set to startup in OSX on HD. So no further joy.
    Maybe someone else will come along who can understand the Console logs. Why does the loginwindow and Security Agent take so long?
    Do you guys have any clues from your Console system logs? Does yours hang on loginwindow?
    The fact that there are so few people with the same problem suggests to me that there is a third party device/preference/ hidden file somewhere that is having an effect and it's not an Apple issue.
    I am getting close to wiping the hard drive and starting again....but live in hope.
    Cheers

  • Vista Blue Screen after Successful Boot Camp installation (32 and 64 bit)

    OK so there are a number of people with issues relating to the BSoD after a successful (or not) implemetation of Bot Camp and Windows XP and/or Vista. One of the identified problems relates to the NVIDIA GEforce 9600m GT display driver which crashes out AFTER windows performs its update routine.
    Having removed and installed the partition (to ensure a clean install each time), the inescapable conclusion is that the NVIDIA driver is to blame for the crash dump, but it is one of the many MS updates that is the root cause of the failure. If you do a clean install of Vista 32 or 64 Ultimate and install the Boot Camp 2.1 (build 1256) and DO NOT allow updates, the system is not only stable, it runs like a train!
    I have Contacted AppleCare about this (as my new MBP is only a few days old) and they have not even heard of the problems. NVIDIA have obviously got issues with something as the driver has been updated to a BETA on their web site, but this will not work on a Mac as it cannot seem to find the hardware to allow the update to complete.
    If (like me) you have bought an MBP for support issues for both Mac and Windows users, this is a showstopper and one that is about to cause me to ask for my money back. So far, the nice shiny and new MBP is back in its box pending a 140 mile trip back to Exeter from whence it came.
    SHARK!

    Boot Camp was a response to public challenges at the time to see who could find how to install Windows on a Mac - which is totally okay thing.
    Then you want Apple to do more than any normal PC vendor selling a laptop where people have to do things like deal with BIOS, drivers and all the things you have had to deal with, for Windows.
    I'm not disagreeing, let alone arguing, I agree that hardware abstraction layer type stuff Apple would need to do. But I don't think Apple needs to do more than get Windows installed. Drivers, AV, and all the stuff that comes with Windows doesn't change. But it should not BSOD when you install something you are told you need.
    I wouldn't be surprised though to see Windows 7 eventually support Apple hardware out of the box so to speak.
    Cookie cutter answers are part of today's customer experience "level one" is no level at all, but a lot of times - and it takes a lot of work - to translate feedback and problems into "cook book" before you get to the troubleshooting (level 2 and above).
    Which is why I read sites like MacIntouch; subscribe to MacFixit (tons of articles on a CD along with shareware). And books.
    Nvidia has terrible drivers in OS X on the Mac Pro (workstation) while ATI has had very good drivers and OpenGL support.
    I prefer to have more choice and freedom when it comes to drivers. As for engineering and how things get qualified (use to see even SCSI hard drives had to be qualified for both the OS; the controller to be used; driver version; firmware; etc).
    What I see is the first shipped BIOS/EFI firmware on any device or system is not the one you want.
    Back in the 70's I was introduced to "bleeding edge" but we would get premiere on-site support if we were willing to install, adopt, some new IBM service, software/hardware. And sometimes we were there on Sunday on holiday weekends.
    One person just could NOT after doing everything under the sun, get Adobe CS4 to install on their new $5000 Mac Pro 2009. Got a new system, worked perfectly.
    In 2008 Early Mac Pro, most all systems would freeze on wake from sleep. Took two months before an EFI update was issued that cured the problem. There is/was also a problem with "inrush current" and PSU.
    I had Blue Screen with Vista. Repeatedly.
    At first I thought it was a new MICROSOFT 4000 keyboard.
    Later I wondered if it was my Apple OEM Nvida 7300GT (and some are failing but it worked in OS X) so I bought 2nd, a PC 8600GTS.
    And pull 3rd party PCI Express controllers (FW800, SATA 1x, SATA 8x cards).
    Came away and thought "oh, it was the 3rd party card" when that seemed to work.
    Around the same time I had bought a new WD Caviar 750GB SATA drive.
    It was that drive that would cause problems with Vista after the install.
    I thought it was something in Microsoft Windows Update that was causing my personal ****, not my equipment. And MS for their drivers. Somebody else's.
    And mind you, I would go through install half a dozen times, try installing Boot Camp before updates, after updates, not at all, add AV software.
    I finally -- after a full year -- learned a lot (don't learn from things just working and I still say it has always been "Plug and Pray" PnP ) things work. I know the frustration and aggravation and the wish that things were different somehow.
    The BSODs that I got were not from Apple Boot Camp. I even ran my system w/o Boot Camp for six months. And this time, with Win7, everything worked fine, wake, sleep, networking, no need for Apple drivers. At all.
    I hang out on a forum where people build their own, X58 board, Intel Core i7, eVGA graphics. And how to get even DDR3 to work, and then how to get the most out of and push it to the extreme, then throttle back a notch.
    The nice thing about that is you learn from it, like you do from racing and sports, to build a better mousetrap.
    Nvidia is bleeding. Even as they and ATI want to stay on leading edge. Intel is contracting (even as they have their best cpu technology ever coming out) and costs that should go into R&D may be harder to "justify" or all the prototype programmers engineers and testing labs. Everything is more commoditized than ever.
    Bottom line: I have Leopard 10.5.6. It has Boot Camp 2.1.2 version, later than the 2.1 download. And there has not been a single update posted online. But my original Leopard DVD 10.5.0 has the SAME contents packaged as 2.0 as were in the 1.4 Beta. I spend $129 for a new DVD to get the latest drivers. Make sense?? of course not.
    Oh, and my Mac with 64-bit hardware, cpu, the EFI BIOS is 32-bit so no official support from Apple to install BC 2.1.2 or use Vista 64-bit. Snow Leopard will be 64-bit kernel, require and enforce 64-bit drivers. Should be interesting. Because technically, and logic, would say I don't have a true 64-bit BIOS environment.
    Got an iMac? not supported with 64-bit. MacBook 2008 had 64-bit support, but not the "Late 2008" there you need MacBook Pro. And yet everyone wants to address more than 2GB (Apple EFI32 allows access to 3.3GB on some, 1.9GB on others, and in my Mac Pro? limited to 1.9GB memory in Windows.... so you know I don't want to run a Xeon workstation in Windows 32-bit.

  • Blue Screen When Installing Boot Camp Updates

    For some unknown reason, whenever I put in the OS X install disc in order to use my internet, wireless mouse, etc. The Blue Screen of Death or what I believe that to be, pops up for an instant and then my computer immediately restarts. I've tried this 5 or 6 times and finally decided to make a post. Thanks in advance.

    Everyone is having that issue. There seems to be a major bug with the bluetooth Boot Camp / wireless drivers where you get a blue screen of death whenever your computer has been idle for a while and then you start typing on the wireless keyboard.
    Wish Apple would fix this problem - my computer crashes several times a day.

  • Blue Screen error using Boot Camp when installing XP on the MacBook Pro

    I have been trying to install Windows XP Professional (with SP2) on my MacBook and I keep encountering blue screen errors during the install. I successfully create the Windows partition with Boot Camp (v2.0) and then Windows install begins. However, during the setup process it hangs and then eventually throws an error showing a blue screen. There has been a different error each time I've tried to install. I've booted in OSX and then deleted the Windows partition through Boot Camp and then attempted the process from the beginning five separate times and each time I get an error during the initial install phase.
    Its not a matter of the installation CD because i borrowed 3 differnt copies from some friends and i still have the same issues.
    Once, I managed to actually start windows XP however it was full of errors probably as parts of it weren't properly installed due to the the blue screens that made me reboot several times.
    Am I the only one having this problem??
    Is this a matter of the hardware? Can you think of any possible solution?
    (I used NTFS did everything propperly I'm 100% sure)(I tried FAT as well)(still nothing)
    PLEASE HELP

    Can you read and write from your optical drive? I would have it checked by burning something to it and seeing if it can be read.
    I have noted a link, with some information that may be helpful, for you to check out.
    http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=7872477#7872477
    I would repair permissions before your next attempt too.
    If this fails, I would contact Apple.

  • Blue screen while installing Boot Camp support software in Win7 Ultimate x64

    2012 macbook pro with OSX Mavericks. Installing Win7 ultimate x64 using boot camp assistant and a USB drive went flawlessly. Then I downloaded and installed the boot camp support software from support.apple.com/kb/DL1638
    Running setup.exe bluescreens my computer and makes the windows partition unbootable after that, even in safe mode. I performed a system restore to roll back the boot camp software and booted again, and checked the log file. It pointed to an intel USB driver. I then deleted IntelxHCI from the Drivers/Intel folder, ran setup.exe again, and everything installed perfectly.
    My question is: what is the Intel usb 3 extensible host controller, why is it included in the support software, and why does it immediately brick my Windows partition?

    I have re-installed Windows 7 about 20 times already, I am experiencing the same problem as you are. The issue must be some kind of driver being installed by Boot Camp. When I leave my fresh Windows 7 install with no Boot Camp, the error or blue screen never occurs. This is weird.
    Help please Apple...

  • Nvidia quadro 4000 and boot camp monitor issue

    Hey Im running a quadro 4000 on my mac pro and I'm having issues in my bootcamp partition running windows 7, were it won't wake up from sleep or screens won't turn on at all, some issues in general with it booting up properly and sometimes screens go black, but computer is still running just black screens... any ideas... from what i see people have been running this with and since the latest drivers people seem to be happy... just can't seem to get much performance out of mine. Even treid installing the drivers as a root user but still having similar issues as before.
    From reading on many forums it seems like this should not be happening with the latest drivers now out, Ive put back my old ATI and it works fine so im pretty sure its the card... any suggestions or tips?
    thanks
    steve

    You will have to ask the Suitcase people. I see nothing in there related to the Adobe part of the equation. It's the Suitcase plug-in dragging down everything all the way.

  • D20 - 4158 with Marvel Raid + windows 7 failed to restart (Blue screen) after installation

    I installed Windows 7 64 bit by providing the Marvell RAID driver downloaded from  http://support.lenovo.com/en_US/downloads/detail.page?&LegacyDocID=MIGR-73716. The installation goes fine, when the computer restarts, the windows 7 logo flashes and then immediately the blue screen comes and then the computer restarts. This continues repeatedly.
    I checked the Raid, we have one array with Raid 0 configuration. I could not find out why the OS installation goes fine but it fails to restart
    Kindly provide some technical input.
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    After double checking the link you provided....I'm confused on your setup.  Can you reiterate which drives you have in the system and which ports they are connected to?
    For a D20, you should have all HDDs attached to the blue ports.  These ports route directly back to the Marvell controller.  Then during the OS install, you need to supply the Marvell driver (not the Intel RAID driver that you specified in your link).
    The only reason you would supply the drive you listed in your link is if you're attempting to run HDDs off the black ports on the system.  This will work (but is not supported) for regualar HDDs in a non-RAID config.  The D20 utilizes the ICH10, not the ICH10R, so there is no way to utilize RAID off these ports.  The black ports are intended for ODD use only.
    So I'm guessing you either have drives connected incorrectly, or you were attempting to provide the incorrect driver during the OS installation.

    Are you referring to the startup screen which is normally gray with the dark gray Apple logo or are you referring the login screen which is typically blue? If it's the latter you might give this a try:
    Clearing Caches to Fix Login Problem
    You will need to type some Unix commands. If you are not comfortable with this, I don't know of anything other than a re-install. But if you are careful, you should be OK. I recommend you print this out in a largish mono-spaced font so you don't miss any spaces (or add extra ones). Note that case is important.
    Be careful. Some of these commands are dangerous, since you are going to be root.
    Start up in Single-user Mode. When this has finished you will see a prompt ending in '#', although there may be other messages. Enter the following commands after the prompt:
    /sbin/fsck -fy
    Press RETURN. Wait a few seconds for 8-10 lines of output. If the last line says repairs were carried out, repeat this command until you get a message 'The volume <yourdiskname> appears to be OK'. Then continue with:
    /sbin/mount -uw /
    cd /Library/Preferences
    rm com.apple.loginwindow.plist
    rm com.apple.windowserver.plist
    cd /Library/Caches
    rm -r *
    cd /System/Library
    cd /System/Library/Caches
    rm -r *
    reboot
    Press RETURN after each command.
    This should now take you to a proper login screen after the normal boot sequence. You should then Repair Permissions by using Disk Utility (in your /Applications/Utilities folder).
    If it's the former then reinstall OS X. For Snow Leopard:
    Reinstall OS X without erasing the drive
    Do the following:
    1. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions
    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 click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, 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.
    2. Reinstall Snow Leopard
    If the drive is OK then quit DU and return to the installer.  Proceed with reinstalling OS X.  Note that the Snow Leopard installer will not erase your drive or disturb your files.  After installing a fresh copy of OS X the installer will move your Home folder, third-party applications, support items, and network preferences into the newly installed system.
    Download and install the Combo Updater for the version you prefer from support.apple.com/downloads/.

    Under Windows 7 Ultimate x64 and Boot Camp, my 27 inch Apple LED Cinema Display checks out as a Generic PnP Monitor and is shown as NOT HDCP compliant.  I haven't been able to find any kind of an .inf file to use.  Does anyone have a solution?  Or is Apple's implementation of HDCP (if it's there) incomplete?

    I am having this same issue. Im not sure if this is the cause but I think this is keeping PowerDVD Ultra 11 from playing back Bluray under Windows 7 / Bootcamp

  • Enabling 'File Sharing' on my Mac allows my Macintosh HD and Boot Camp to be visible and writeable on my home network. How can I turn this off, so that only folders/files I share are visible?

    So I've been trying recently to get my MacBook Pro connected to my home network. There are two other desktop computers in the household, and I'd like to be able to connect to their shared folders, as well as allow them to access shared items on my MacBook Pro. I think I've read all the documentation regarding this issue on the Apple Support site. I do have administrator privileges on my Windows 7 computer.
    Issues connecting from PC to Mac
    A couple of days ago, I enabled SMB File Sharing on my MacBook Pro, and in addition to the already shared Public folder, I added another that resides within Movies. Then I went to my Windows 7 PC, and under Network, my MacBook Pro appeared. I double-clicked on it (I cannot remember if I was asked to enter my Mac user credentials; I think I was), and I saw the two shared folders: Public, and the Movies folder.
    However, today I went back to my Windows 7 PC, accessed my MacBook Pro, entered username and password, and in addition to the two shared folders, both my Macintosh HD and Boot Camp HD appeared as shared folders, both fully writable. However, under File Sharing on my MacBook Pro, only the two shared folders (Public and Movies) appear in the Shared Folders list.
    How can I prevent my Mac from sharing my entire partitions? How can I configure it so thatonly the folders I select to share are actually broadcasted across my home network? Also, it would be ideal if I can access these shared folders from my Windows 7 PC without having to enter my Mac user credentials.
    Issues connecting from Mac to PC
    I have a user account on my Windows 7 PC with the same name as my Mac, but with no password. When I try to connect to my PC from my Mac, the enter credentials dialogue pops up and asks me to either log-in as a Guest, or enter my User credentials.
    The Guest account is disabled on Windows 7, and I assume that's I'm not able to log in as Guest (if it is possible to connect as a Guest without having to enable the Guest account on Windows 7, please let me know). Leaving the password field blank on the enter credentials dialogue tells me that it's incorrect (even though I don't have a password on my Windows 7 account).
    Is it possible to access shared files and folders on my Windows 7 PC from my Mac without having to create a password protected account? If not, is it possible to create a password for the sake of accessing shared files, while not requiring it to log in to the account? I'm sorry, I know this last bit more falls under the category of Windows Help.

    Sharing files from a Mac to a PC is a different animal.  I've never done it myself so you may want to repost a separate question on this topic.
    From what I understand, in order to access files from a Mac on a PC, you must log in using your Mac username and password (no anonymous file sharing).  Since this is not very desirable from a security standpoint, Apple recommends creating a separate user account on the Mac that is dedicated to file sharing.  Give that account access only to the files/folders you want to share.  You can then give that user account name and password to your Windows users.
