Win XP Blue Screen of Death while playing music in iTunes

For the past two weeks I have been trying to fix a problem with my computer, that crashes everytime i play music in itunes.
The music stops playing, or gets hung up on one note for several minutes, my screen freezes, and then I get a blue screen with error message 0x0000007A.
I have already done checks of the hard drive and RAM and according to the computer's diagnostics there is nothing wrong with the hardware.
I tried re-installing itunes but this does not help.
Any ideas?

im just gonna keep all sound disabled at first.  then if there are no errors, ill enabled onboard, still if none, ill put audigy in a different PCI Slot and update drivers.  come to think of it I dont think its drivers were the most recent ones...
by the way, I have a question about my motherboard.  In another forum on this site I told about my problems with it (rather, my stupidity).  At first I put the backplate on the motherboard with no insulating thing on it (had ripped it all off lol) so I had powered on the comp many many times shorting out the circuits surrounding the cpu socket.  When we took it off, we pryed it off (was very hard because it was sticking), being careful not to scratch any circuits.  My question is, is it possible that damaged the motherboard, and is causing my problems with the blue screen?  It seems to me that if Ive made it this far (played games on the comp at full load and what not) then the motherboard must be fine.  But I could be wrong..?

  • Has anyone else experienced the stopping and starting again while  playing music in iTunes.  It was fixed but with the last update it has started skipping again.

    Has anyone else experienced the stopping and starting again whil playing music in itunes.  It was working fine wit the prior fix, but after the last update
    it started skipping again. 

    Try it in another vehicle see if it still happens, at least you can narrow it down to your  phone or the car. My 4s play totally fine, I have never had any of those issues. Maybe its time to restore your phone and start over. I would also have someone else play their Iphone in your car, see if it happens to them. Or try yours in someone elses car. Good Luck!

  • Sound stops while playing music with iTunes Match

    While playing music from iTunes Match, the sound stops.  The music continues to play but there is no sound.  If I double click the song, the sound will start again.  But after that song is finished and it advances to the next song.  The sound will stop again and I have to double click the song again.  Other sounds on my MB-Air will still work.  Anyone else having this issue? Thanks

    It happens to me too. I listen the most on my iPhone. Song is playing, but no sound. Sometimes I have to close the app and relaunch to recover. Very annoying.

  • Blue screen of death while installing any Adobe Air application

    Whenever I try to install an Air application I get a  Blue Screen and then my system restarts.
    I cannot even take a screenshot  of it.
    This happens with every air application I try to install.
    I also searched for the same on Adobe forums and found the same problem being faced by someone else.
    His problem was resolved by uninstalling a software named "Folder Lock".
    I searched my hard disk for this software and found one, so I deleted  that software (shift+delete) and removed all it's traces from registry  too but that still doesn't solved the problem.
    I also tried disabling the antivirus software and then install the air application but this also didn't helped.
    I was able to install air applications earlier, but now I can't.
    Anybody having same sort of problem. One colleague of mine is also having the same problem.
    Please help me out.
    My system's config is as follows:
    Windows XP Home sp3
    Flash Builder 4, with SDK 4.1, 3.5 installed in it.
    Adobe Air v 2.5
    1.5 GB RAM
    1.66 MHz processor
    Thanks

    Hello chris,
    Thank you for taking out your time to solve my problem.
    I did all the steps mentioned in that link i.e. installed folder lock and uninstalled it from it's options only.
    But it didn't solve my problem.
    Here is the screenshot of the Blue Screen Of Death that I was presented while the application was being installed.
    The BSOD appeared while the application install progress is shown to the end user.
    I hope this will help you get more insight of the issue.
    Thanks

  • Win XP Blue Screen of Death!

    Sometimes when I shut down Windows XP, I get a blue screen of death.  It includes messages like:
    "A problem has been detected and windows has been shut down to prevent damage to your computer."
    "MACHINE_CHECK_EXCEPTION"
    "Beginning dump of physical memory"
    It doesnt happen every time I shut down, just randomly, it seems.  I am thinking that it is either a memory or motherboard issue.  I have installed the Athlon 64 1.1.0.14 driver.  You can check my specs in my sig.
    Do you guys think a BIOS update for my K8T Neo would help?  I am currently running BIOS 1.2 = \
    Please help!

  • IPhone5s stuck in recovery mode after lots of times displaying blue screen of death, cannot restore it as iTunes displays error 14 on verification, same time phone crashes again with blue screen.

    hi, my iPhone5s is only 3 months old, it has been like a whole month now since it started crashing, displaying the blue screen of death, since yesterday it was in the loop of restart-crash, and now it is stuck in recovery mode after lots of times displaying blue screen.
    I cannot restore it as phone continues crashing again with blue screen, when iTunes displays error 14 on verification.
    help please, this phone is all the means of communication I have.

    It's a hardware problem. That's it. You shouldn't bother yourself with this situation. Just see an AASP.

  • Trying to have a break between each song while playing music in iTunes

    Hi there
    When Playing music in iTunes the songs run without any break - that is something like 5 seconds before the current song playing is supposed to finish, the next one already starts to play. I hope to have a break between the songs - only when the current song reaches an end, the next one begins. Is there a way to do that? I would appreciate your help.
    Thank you
    Zak

    I have the same problem. I have the crossfade set to four seconds and have made sure that the "part of a gapless album" is not checked. Any ideas on how to fix this? thanks.

  • How to restore the volume control while playing music in iTunes

    How do I recover the volume control (slider at the bottom of the screen) in iTunes when playing music? After I plugged the device into an iHome speaker, the volume control dissappeared.

    generdude,
    Not that I know of, but you can turn it off completely by going to System Preferences...>Sound>Sound Effects>Alert volume: (Uncheck) Play feedback when volume is changed.

  • Commercial ads behind my music while playing music in itunes?

    While listening to my music in itunes I hear commercials and other songs behind the music.  Any answers on how to get rid of this?

    You're really running OS 8.6 (or earlier) as your computer profile indicates?  You must be using iTunes 1 or 2.   There's certainly no Dashboard widgets with OS 8.6.
    How do you have this set up?  If you are using wired speakers in there somewhere it is possible you are picking up radio stations with the speaker wires and need to introduce a RFI choke in the setup.

  • Volume keeps changing automatically while playing music in iTunes

    Recently my iTunes has started to automatically change the volume up and down while my audio or video plays in iTunes. This happens when I'm playing from my library and also when I put in a DVD/CD. It does not happen on my iPod after it is synched through iTunes, though. It's quite annoying and I could use some suggestions in fixing this glitch. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

    Asamd1st, it appears that this is a memory error.  I suggest removing the memory and reinstalling them one at a time.  Then, boot to see if the computer runs properly.  Do this with each stick.

  • Windows Vista Crashing When Ipod is Plugged In. Blue Screen of Death?

    A week ago, my computer suddenly started to reboot whenever I plugged my 5th generation 80 gig Ipod in to sync. A blue screen will pop up, and automatically restart.
    I do not believe this is the blue screen of death that appeared 2 months ago. I have upgraded to Itunes 8.0.1 when it was first released, and I had no problems until a week ago. I haven't heard of anyone receiving the blue screen of death since the update to Itunes 8 was released.
    I have also lost all of my music from my Ipod, so I am anxious to figure this out.
    Here is what the blue screen (certain passages paraphrased, the specifics were copied directly):
    A problem has been detected and windows has shut down to prevent damage to your computer.
    BADPOOLHEADER
    If this is the firs time you've seen this stop error screen, restart yoru computer. If this screen appears again, follow these steps:
    Make sure all hardware and software is properly installed
    If it continues, disable/remove any newly installed hardware and software. Disable BIOS memory options such as caching or shawoding. If you need to use safe mode to remove or disable components, restart your computer, press F8 for Advanced Sartup options, then select safe mode.

    Any help you have would be greatly appreciated!

    Have you tried the troubleshooting advice in this article?

    Was a file name mentioned in the stop message? usually something.sys That can be a clue to the problem is the Apple advice doesn't help.

  • IPad crashes PC laptop with blue screen of death when syncing

    I just got a brand new iPad and I cannot sync a bunch of songs or photos without it just completely shutting down my laptop (PC)and giving me the "blue screen of death". I tried reinstalling iTunes, disconnecting any USB connections I may have and completely updating my lappy...but nothing works! Why can't apple just make something as simple as "syncing" work? Do I have to buy a Mac in order for my iPad to work properly?! Please help me out with this syncing problem.

    Hello iPadgirl777,
    And welcome to Apple Discussions!
    First of all, you posted this in the *6th Generation iPod Nano* forum, when you should have posted it in the iPad forum.
    Anyways, check out this Apple support document related to your issue.

  • ITunes seems to be skipping/hiccuping while playing music during browisng.

    Hello Everyone
    So for the past month or so I experience intermittent "hiccuping" while playing music through iTunes on my PC.  Songs don't skip in the traditional sense of skipping from one song to the next ... instead it's more like a blurp/drag.  It lasts for about a second or two and then it stops.  It happens mostly when I'm web-browsing.  I've tried using another browser but nothing seems to help.  my PC is three years old and it came with Windows 7.  I've used Windows 8 since it became available so I guess that's about two years now, I'm on to Windows 8.1.  My system has a 1TB hard drive, 4 GB of RAM, and an AMD Athlon X4 640 3GHZ processor (I don't know much about processor specs but I thought I'd include it to be as thorough as possible).  Of the TB of Hard Drive space, I've used less than 40% of it.  I've run virus scans, malware scans, I've made sure my defrags and Windows updates are up to date.  There was recently an update to iTunes in the last day or so - and I was really hoping this would be fixed - but the problem seems to be getting worse. 
    I'm to the point where I'm ready to download Google Play and just use iTunes solely for syncing my iPhone 5s.  I cannot continue to put with playing music in iTunes with this problem.  I'm at my wit's end.  I've considered "dumping" everything on to an external hard drive, wiping my system and starting fresh ...
    Anyone have any thoughts, ideas?

    It may just be your DVD player. I have found
    this
    with some of my DVDs. They work fine on my player
    and
    skip on others.
    That results from a high level of burn errors as a
    result of low quality media and/or high burn
    speeds.
    Hmm, maybe. I never (knowingly) use crappy media.
    I always use Imation discs (mainly because they are
    fully printable - and I thought they were meant to be
    good quality). Also, I cant see where to change the
    burn speed. I always burn a disc image and then use
    Disk Utility to burn a disc. It just does it
    automatically and doesn't seem to offer any choices.
    How can I get it to burn at slower speed? I'd
    prefer not to use third party software if poss.
    OK, you've got me worried now.
    I've just checked this
    http://www.digitalfaq.com/media/dvdmedia.htm
    and think I'll be off tomorrow to buy some new discs.
    Thanks for alerting me.
