The dreaded Restart Screen

My PB has gotten into the habit of requiring a restart every 30 minutes or so. I'll be working and the dreaded grey/black screen comes down saying that I need to restart my computer (the one with the power image). I've rebuilt the drive twice using Disk Warrior. I've also checked the computer several times using Disk Genius. They both keep telling me that there are no problems, but still the dreaded screen returns. I attempted to take my laptop to my local Apple store, but there was at least a 3 hour wait. Is there any advice you can offer?

Here is the last one before I turned it on to answer your question.

  • After the dreaded balck screen w/ pwr symbol my user accout is gone but...

    Wow I finally got to a block to type in! I have no idea if I am in the right place but here goes: I got the dreaded black screen with the white power button symbol. Started up from original system disk only to find that I was no longer around. "User" as I was known had disapperedalong with all of my files. However they still occupy the majority of my hard drive space. I cannot find any files which I had previous to the incident. My hard drive was giving me "out of space" messages prior to the event and I had thrown away some nonessential files etc. Also found permissions way out of whack and repaired all. HELP!

    John,
    Find your G4 laptop on the list at the newer hardware pages here and see if you get a response from more users. This area is for really old stuff!
    Good luck,
    Jim

  • BT Netprotect and the dreaded white screen

    I see a lot of negatives on this site about BT Netprotect but it has always worked for me.  My pc has a decent processor and memory bank so resources have not been a problem.  So you can imagine my dismay when Netprotect would not load and simply presented the dreaded white screen.  More dismay when I could not remove it using windows 7 or ccleaner.  Tried all sorts including a big old swear at the inanimate object.  Feeling better at having got my frustrations off my chest I decided that for whatever reason Netprotect had gone.   In a moment of pure genius (blush) I decided to try and reinstall.  I logged into my BT account and followed the links.  Downloaded the files and watched with childlike smugness as McAfee deleted all the old files and reinstalled new ones.   One check for updates and a full scan later and the smugness was at swmbo is gonna slap me levels.  It was worth it, it worked.  If you have the same problem it may work for you.  Downsides, stupid program made me delete Spybot and Malwarebytes as "unsafe", now reinstalled and working fine.  'Ells bells, BT labs use Malwarebytes!  Netprotect may not be perfect, is resource greedy and can frustrate you, but the white screen menace can be beaten.
    Of course when I boot my pc tomorrow (okay today now), if I see a white screen and a McAfee logo, swmbo may yet see a grown man cry.....

    Glad you got it sorted. Reinstalling often sorts out problem software, having said that I still wouldn't have BTNetprotect on my computer. I have never heard of any other antivirus giving any problems like the amount that BTNetprotect and McAfee does. 

  • I have the dreaded blue screen need HELP????!

    I was just downloading the updates and then the computer restarted and the screen is blue, mouse still works. I was looking at other articles for bluescreen but it was for an installation of Leopard problem. The program I have in my computer is 10.2.3.Somebody wrote to hold down control and s. it took me to single user type screen that looked like MSDOS. I put /sbin/fsck -fy which they stated to do. I pressed enter it said something but I forgot what. I restarted the computer and now when it is loading up it stops when it says waiting for application services. I think I dug myself in a bigger whole when I typed that stuff in the MSDOS type screen. SOMEBODY PLEASE PLEASE HELP ME OUT OF THIS WHOLE?

  • New twist on the dreaded white screen when renting movies

    I have been hit with the nasty white screen after renting a movie. After reading the discussion forum, this is apparently a "personality" issue with ATV and Apple has not yet found a fix. However, after performing the "pull-the-plug" reboot, which in the past has corrected the problem, I now have a new problem. When the main menu appears after reboot, it is frozen and it does NOT respond to the remote. The only command it recognized was the menu + "-" reset command. When it resets and comes to the screen asking for restart, diagnostics, or factory reset choices, the remote works. But when you select restart and get back to the main menu, it freezes. (I ran diagnostics and ATV says it feels fine.) For some reason, a bug is preventing atv from recognizing any remote commands. Right now I am in the 24hr movie viewing window, and I will let that period elapse to see if the corrupted white screen rented movie just dies its deserving death and releases the main menu back to my command.
    I guess my ultimate ploy would be factory reset, but then aren't I put back in the position of re-syncing my 6,000 songs, and photo library?
    Anyone else have this glitch??

  • The Dreaded White screen (display) issue

    Hey guys,
    I have the ol' white screen problem. I can mount, restore, and everything just fine but instead of showing menu's the screen shows a white screen.
    I have tried all the 5 R's and even restoring again and again. From what i've read here (since my ipod is out of warranty) I'm pretty much screwed and will have to buy a new one. My question is if I wanted to replace the broken part myself, would this be the logic board?
    All of this started because I dropped my ipod 2ft onto carpet at work
    Thanks

    They sell replacement parts, but not the logic board.

  • The dreaded "green screen"

    This is really bizarre, and I'm very confused as to why this is happening. iChat is allowing audio to go through, but the built in iSight is not working. When I open Photo Booth, all I get is the green screen. I downloaded the update Apple suggested, and still, no luck. The weird thing is the camera works fine on Yahoo! Messenger for Mac...any suggestions?

    Hi David,
    If Jan's suggestions does not work they try deleting com.apple.ichat.plist in /Users/(your Account)/Library/Preferences and restarting ichat
    Also check that System Preferences > Displays is set to Millions

  • 10.5.3 update and the black- restart screen results

    Yesterday i loaded the new update and on restart got the black screen on my new 24 inch Imac. Called it a day. Today I did a restore from my time machine g-drive and am back to running without the new update but with all files intact. The restore works great.
    I do run vmware fusion on this machine and am wondering if I should delete the enhanced app. bundle in library before trying again or am I just barking up the wrong tree?

    I have finally got the upgrade loaded but not without a few problems. I did work all the suggestions and still was stuck with the kernal panic. This time it took a while to develope and was not immediate as it was the first time i loaded 10.5.3. I was able to restart and open disk utility and run permission repair. So far the system is working fine. My guess is that Apple has a problem between the update software and some configuration on the imac. Next I will try my laptop. hmmmmm. Thanks for the help it gave me just enough so i could get on the road again.

  • The dreaded gray screen

    OK ... I was crusing the net when apps in the background starting freezing. Worse, I couldn't force quit them as the cmd-opt-esc did nothing. I couldn't shut down thru the menu and, in the end, had to shut down by holding down the power-on button.
    It rebooted into the Recovery disk. Natch, Disk Utilities (DU) was worthless. Gotta luv that useless dialog box that says backup your data when there's no way (or at least no way that I know of) from the Recovery screens.
    Luckily ... I hope ... I hav DiskWarrior 4.4 on a bootable USB drive (that sumtimes works). This time it booted the laptop and DW rebuilt the harddrive that Disk Utility wouldn't touch. I could open the drive and see my files. There is a "Recovered Files" folder with a bunch of unix files in them. That doesn't giv me a warm fuzzy. No joy in Mudville. When I tried to boot off the HD, I got a screen full command line codes before it poppt up and told me to restart.
    Back to the Recovery partition ... DU tell me the drive is ok. I boot off the external drive. Now it chooses to crash on me as well. Well, it wasn't all that reliabe anyway (the cable link at the drive port on the hard drive is loose).
    I can see my HD ... fittingly named 'fubar' ... in DU. But it keeps telling me that its ok. Repaird permissions. That didn't help. Spent hours waiting as it install'd the OS over the net. Well, at least I'm not getting the kernal panic anymore but it does stop at the gray screen with the apple logo on it and goes no further.
    I can boot into safe mode. But when I exit, it goes to the gray screen. I did catch a glimpse in the lines scrolling by of an SMC error (I think that is what is was). I rebooted with the cmd-opt-shift-power button to reset the SMC ... and yes, I reset the NVRAM as well. Still nothing.
    I'm stumpt. And so y'all know ... I'm in a S. American country with no Apple support. No genius bar, no overnight deliveries from Alsoft or anything like that.
    Any thoughts of what I might look for while I'm in safe mode or the Terminal while on the Recovery Drive?
    Sumtimes I can get the external drive to come on (but not boot) and I can see the files on it thru Terminal. Can I launch DiskWarrior thru the command line? I can't find any info on how to do that.
    Will Terminal on the Recovery Drive let me shift files from fubar to the external drive or USB stick so that I can get sum of my more meaningful files off?
    Will installing the OS over the net a second time overwrite and fix the problem (whatever happen to the old 'clean install' choice?).
    With the external HD acting flakey, doing a restore from those files isn't truly a choice. I'd rather not wipe the drive before installing over the net.
    Whatever anyone can think of, I'll giv it a shot. Thanks.

  • Any answer to the dreaded white screen?

    Besides "send it back to apple"?
    I'm a few months out of warranty. Everything works fine except the screen is bright white. I've searched but can't seem to find any solution other than send it back. Does anyone know what even causes this? Has anyone found a solution or sent it back to apple and found out what the problem is?

    See this.

  • When i delete a app i have had the dreaded black screen and i have to put my iphone 5 in dfu mode and restore it can anyone explain why this happens

    when i delete a app my screen goes black and i have to put in dfu mode and restore it didnt happen till i upgraded software any reason for this

    When in DFU mode and connected to the computer iTunes does not say anything but iTunes will see the iPod and you can restore the iPod via iTunes. When in recovery mode and you connect, iTunes will say it found an iPod in recovery mode.

  • The Dreaded Blank Screen

    In Photo Booth, I'm getting the green screen that I've seen others post problems with. It's also not working in iChat or iMovie. I have a Macbook with the internal iSight camera.
    Does anyone know of a way to fix this, and if I need a new internal camera, any idea on how much it's going to set me back?
    Thanks.

  • The dreaded white screen

    just before, i was on my macbook, and noticed it was freezing up alot, i went to force quit some programmes and it froze totally on the force quit box, after waiting 5 minutes, i gave up and manually shut down the computer, when i went to turn it back on, the chime sounded but then stuck to a white screen
    how do i resolve this as soon as possible?

    Thank you! I've tried and tried to reset it but I never get the apple icon. I never thought to let the battery completely die. Hopefully that works.
    I did notice tonight that it doesn't stay on very long after I disconnect from the computer USB. Does this sound like a larger problem? I'm trying to do what I can before I resort to shipping it in for service.
    Thank you!
