The blue DEATH screen (win 7 professional, 64bit)

My Lenovo SL410, machine type of 2842 laptop was hacked/attacked Saturday night, that is, it forced restart then failed to start with STOP: 0x000000ED. Digging for my own emergency/repaire CD to no avail, I moved last summer (either I forgot to get this CD or it was stolen when my stuff was left with a person).
What are some of the solution options?
Thanks in advance.

Hi, justwhatever
I found this document from Microsoft that has some information about the error and some possible fixes. The default suggestion is to attempt to do a System Restore without a repair disc, which will hopefully work for you.
Best of luck, and let me know how it goes

My HP Pavillion a6620f is stuck on the Blue HP screen, F keys won't work

My HP Pavilion a6620f is stuck on the blue HP screen. None of the suggested F keys will work. If I press Esc or F10, I get a message stating that it's starting up whatever corresponds to those keys, but nothing ever happens (left it for five hours while ran errands and it never changed.)
Previous to getting the blue screen, I had put the computer in sleep mode by choosing sleep through the start menu. When I came back to the computer the next morning, I'd forgotten that I'd put it in sleep, so I pressed the power button to turn it on; when it came on, it stayed on the blue HP screen. Since then, I've looked at the HP boards, I've taken off the side, vacuumed (lightly) out the dust, unplugged and plugged in the power cable from the hard drive and the mother board, then did the same with the data cable. I plugged everything back in and I'm still getting the blue screen. I don't have a recovery CD, so I don't know what else to do. Can someone help?

Hey McLundin,
I'm sorry you're running into this issue with the blue screen. Is this screen one of the infamous blue screens of death?
Examples of BSODs
Do you get any sort of error message on the screen? Look for the word STOP and the code after that. If you need to, you can take a picture of it and post the picture in your reply.
I would suggest trying a hard reset as the next quickest and less invasive step. This can sometimes fix strange issues because it drains all of the electricity out of the unit. Here are the steps for a Hard Reset.
If you've got another laptop you can put the hard drive in, you can take the hard drive from the laptop in question and put it in a second laptop to see if it boots. Obviously, if you get the same screen it's a hard drive issue. My bet though, is that it will work, since the F keys on the affected laptop are not even working. (You're pressing those keys immediately on power on right?) Putting the hard drive into the second computer will allow you to back up files, if necessary, to a flash drive or external hard drive.
I hope this information helps. Let me know what the results are, if you get a chance please

Installed new graphic card (ASUS Geforce GTX 750ti. PC stuck at the blue welcome screen

Hi,
I just bought the ASUS Geforce GTX 750ti STRIX OC Edition (without external power connector).
After I installed it, I wont get past the HP welcome screen. It gives one beep 3 times, and then 1 and 2 short before the screen turns black.
My computer is:
HP P7-1072sc
(I have installed a 500w power supply.)
Running on windows 7
Anyone have any ideas?

Hi,
There is a BIOS update posted for you PC but I don't think that it will solve your problem. You might want to install it and see if anything changes.
You may have to RMA the graphics card back to ASUS. ASUS may be able to flash the BIOS on the card to make it work or replace it with a different graphics card that will work.
Many of the NVIDIA GTX 750 graphics cards are enabled for a full UEFI BIOS PC and your PC is not at that level.

Has anyone seen the blue flashing screen on MBP running 10.6.8? It looks like you are plugging in an external monitor and unplugging it over and over.

So, I have called Apple twice about this issue. Both times, I was on for almost an hour and could not get an answer. In fact, the technicians said that they had never seen this issue before. Here is how it goes.
It has happened MacBook Pro laptops anywhere from 2010 to now. I have seen it on new ones with Thunderbolt and ones a generation before. In the environment I work in, we have many, thousands from ranging from all generations. This specific issue seems to only be affecting 10.6.8. When the computer boots, it starts to flash blue as if you just plugged in an external montior, except there is no monitor, and it keeps flashing blue about once every second. I actually have a video of it on my phone that I can send to show you.
Now, like I said, this is happening to multiple laptops, all running 10.6.8. There isn't a particular action that causes it either. I have seen laptops that have been running for hours just start doing it as well as a completely cold start up do it right at the login screen. Upgrading to 10.7.x seems to solve the issue. But you have to understand, the environment I work in has thousands of computers. Upgrading many of them to Lion just for this is just not practical. In some cases, there is software that will not function correctly beyond 10.6.8.
I have scoured though Google searches for hours now looking for a similar issue and a resolution. The answer I always seem to find is just upgrade. I can't seem to find a discussion beyond 2011 that talks about it.
Can someone help me?
Chad

By the way, I have tried shutting of the display switching in the power settings. That was basically the only real answer I found anywhere. It didn't work.

My macbook pro Mod A1261 will not boot. It goes to the gray death screen

When I try to boot my macbook Pro it goes to the gray screen of death (to borrow a term fmor the PC world). It will not boot in safe mode. It did this before and I though I had gotten it fixed but I guess not. Any suggestions?
Bill

If you look to the right there are so many examples of the same symptoms - just read them, study them, and see if the solutions about 'Safe Mode' 'Recovery Mode' 'Disk Repair' can solve the issue. After that do report back

SDDM 4 EA3: Unable to launch the Java Virtual Machine (Win 7 64bit)

SQL Developer v4 EA3 is working fine, but I decided to download the stand-alone SQL Developer Data Modeler because I had seen people recommending using it in favor of the one bundled with SQLDEV.
Windows 7 64-bit
Java (64 bit) installed into C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.7.0_25
When I double-click the short-cut to start SDDM I get the following pop-up dialog error:
Title: Oracle SQL Developer Data Modeler
Unable to launch the Java Virtual Machine
Located at path:
C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.7.0_25\bin\msvcr100.dll
***NewsFlash***
I think I stumbled on the solution just prior to posting, so here is what worked for me in case anyone else runs into this....
I had created a desktop short-cut to "C:\Program Files\datamodeler\datamodeler.exe", which I am guessing is the 32bit version of the binary file.
I was able to launch successfully by pointing to "C:\Program Files\datamodeler\datamodeler64.exe"

That path is incorrect - strip everything after the jdk1.7.0_45\

Blue death screen

Hi , I have recently purchased an iPhone 5s in Israel. i have tried fix it with iTunes and its not working

Hi lee351,
I'm sorry to hear that you are having issues with your new iPhone. I also apologize, I'm a bit unclear on the exact nature of the issue you are describing. If your iPhone isn't responding, you may want to try restoring it to factory settings from iTunes, as outlined in the following article:
Use iTunes to restore your iOS device to factory settings
If you are unable to restore your iPhone, or are still having issues after the restore, you may need to have the iPhone serviced, especially given that it was just recently purchased. You may find the following page helpful (make sure to select the appropriate country for your location):

Hi, we all understand the frustrations..OK, 1st I would TURN OFF your mac.
Then unlug ALL peripherals except K/B & M. Then I would Restart. If it restarts OK I would Repair Permissions & reboot again. Then if ALL was well I would d/load OnyX (free) and do a FULL maintenance etc...After that I would go for doing the updates One at a Time & Repairing Permission before & after rebooting...L

IMac makes a loud beep on start up, won't load past the blue screen and the black ticking dial appears every few seconds in centre of screen.

Urgent help!
Out of the blue my mac lost the mouse cursor even though it had connection so I rebooted only for the mac to make a loud beep on start up then get stuck at the blue loading screen. It won't load past the blue screen. I've tried to reboot holding down the shift key but no change. I've also shut down, unplugged the main for 15 seconds, re plug and wait 5 seconds before starting up again but no change. Does anyone have any suggestions?
PS: I'm not too sure which systems I am running without being able to check in about this mac. I bought my imac in January or February 2011 if that helps.

The power on self-test resides in the ROM of the computer. This test runs whenever the computer is turned on after being fully shut down (the power-on self-test does not run if the computer is only restarted).
If a fault is detected during the test, you will not hear a normal startup chime. Instead, the system will beep as explained below. If you experience one of these beeps, you may call your Apple Authorized Service Provider for additional troubleshooting assistance.
1 beep = no RAM installed
2 beeps = incompatible RAM types
3 beeps = no good banks
4 beeps = no good boot images in the boot ROM (and/or bad sys config block)
5 beeps = processor is not usable

My MBP 13" gets the blue screen!

I got my mac about a week ago, and today, the AirPort suddenly lost the connection. I rebooted the computer, and it stopped at the blue booting screen. I've tryed rebooting it again, and the same thing happens. It won't SafeBoot, and when I use the Disk Repair, it finds two registration problems that cannot be repaired... Anyone got an idea?

Welcome to Apple Discussions!
Your machine is still under the return period of most stores. This sort of problem should not happen to a brand new machine unless you filled the hard disk already. Check the store you bought it from, and verify what that period is, so you have a chance to determine if you can diagnose it further, or if it is just worth getting a replacement.

I got the "You need to restart" message, and now my macbook won't start up past the blue screen.

I got the "You need to restart" message, and after I restarted it my macbook is stuck on the blue loading screen.

Please try to boot in safe mode. If successful, launch the Console application and look under "System Diagnostic Reports" for the most recent panic log. Select it and post the contents here.

Windows XP, will not load past blue error screen

Hi, been wondering for a while if anyone can help me...
My xp system will not load past the blue error screen which appears after the computer has shut down suddenly or improperly.
Regardless of what actions you choose to take (safe mode, most recent settings...etc) the system simply goes past the blue screen, onto the windows logo loading page, where the loading bar moves for around 10 seconds, before returning back to the blue loading page.
So far I have tried leaving the computer for as long as a month unused whilst I was abroad, removing the battery for various amounts of time, and leaving the computer running for as long as a day.
In the absence of a recovery disk, I have no idea how to get it back to form, and would welcome any hints or suggests, bearing in mind I am no computing genius (If you had'nt guessed). Preferably, without loosing my irreplacable pictures and videos stored on the hard drive, however that is only preferably,
Thanks, Jay

Hi Jay,
i know what it's like to not able to boot even into safe mode command prompt.
In your case I would do either of below:
Download a bootable CD ISO called "HDD Regenerator" or [Hiren's BootCD|www.hiren.info/pages/bootcd] which includes many other great tools. Burn the ISO image onto CDR.
1. Use the HDD Regenerator to boot the PC and use it to scan the whole HardDrive from 0, it will scan and fix all the bad sectors which may cause Windows failing to boot as systems files are corrupted. You will be suprise how great this tool can fix bad sector HDs.
2. If above does not work, the the Hiren's BootCD to boot the PC, navigate to Symantec Norton Ghost or Acronis True Image to Clone you hard drive, you can use USB external harddrives.
Then you can rebuild the PC with second partition large enough to store the HardDisk-IMAGE, use Ghost Explorer/etc to restore your personal files.
I have been dealing with lots of this issues as well. Let me know if you need more help.
Good luck!
Patrick

Time Machine Crash along with death screen

Ever since I did the 10.5.2 update Time Machine crashes, ejects my hard drive, and I keep getting the gray death screen to restart. I turned off Time Machine but my HD keeps getting ejected and still having the restart issue.
I'm running a Mirror face G4 and have NEVER had a problem before, so this is very irritating.

Hi there,
Thanks for your posting - I followed the links in order to try and find out why my disk image may not be working properly.
I backup my MacBook to an internal slave drive on my G4 using Time Machine. It was working fine for a month but has suddenly given me Kernel Panic so from these posts I assume that to mean a corrupt image. I tried running Disk Warrior on the image. It found a HUGE number of errors. Pretty much every file in the volume was repaired for "Extended Attribute". However, unfortunately Disk Warrior gave the following message:
DiskWarrior has successfully built a new directory for the disk named "Backup of JowieBook." The new directory cannot replace the original directory due to a Mac OS services failure.
Try rebuilding again. If this problem persists, please restart from the DiskWarrior CD and then try rebuilding again.
Hmmm, that not good. I haven't tried restarting from the CD because I don't see much point - the image isn't on the boot drive, it's on a slave. I checked the volume read/write status as suggested and this is the result (abridged):
image-path : /Volumes/Lemon Jelly/JowieBook_0016cbcc5f19.sparsebundle
image-type : sparse bundle disk image
writeable : TRUE
autodiskmount : TRUE
removable : TRUE
image-encrypted : false
So I'm pretty stumped. Shall I just run it again? Here's the chmod status of the volume:
drwxr-xr-x 6 jowie jowie 510 Feb 20 22:30 Backup of JowieBook
I'm not very good with Unix but that looks okay to me... So I'm a bit stumped. Any thoughts?
Thanks!

Satellite L500-1XD constantly restarting & displaying blue recovery screen

I bought a Toshiba Satellite L500-1XD laptop from an Argos store in August. Soon after I got it it occasionally restarted itself and displayed the blue recovery screen saying the laptop has recovered from a hardware failure. This has become more frequent recently and it often shuts down, displays blue screen, restarts and does this over and over again.
I have not installed many new programmes on the laptop and have installed all updates. I have removed any programmes I did install with the exception of Microsoft Office.
Another thing that might be related if that when the laptop starts up it says the Toshiba Service Station has stopped working and tries to check for a solution to the problem.
I would any appreciate any advice on how I could perhaps remedy this
Thanks in anticipation

Hi katrina_1,
That means the preinstalled Windows version is still installed, right?!
Well, I think its hard to say why it happens It could be a software or hardware malfunction. Both could be possible.
The most reasons for blue screens are drivers or hardware itself Are all devices installed properly in device manager or do you see yellow exclamation marks?
In your case I would try to reinstall Windows. Maybe its only a software or driver issue
Furthermore if you have installed two RAM modules, test it with one module only. You can also use Memtest86 or another RAM diagnostic tool to test the RAM modules for failures.
