Windows 7 blue screen on Mid 2010 iMac running 10.8
I had previously had the 64 bit version of Windows 7 Home Premium running on my mid 2010 iMac running 10.7. However, after upgrading to 10.8, my Windows installation would blue screen after booting. I suspect this was due to upgrading to 10.8 as I didn't make any changes to my Windows install because I only use it for gaming.
I've since removed the Windows partition, and tried a clean install via the Boot Camp Assistant. Windows installs just fine and boots cleanly. However, after installing the Apple Boot Camp drivers (freshly downloaded during the Boot Camp Assistant process), Windows blue screens upon booting. I can repair the Windows install using the built in process, but any attempt to install Apple's drivers results in blue screening. I've tried a clean Windows install and redownloading Apple's drivers several times with no luck.
Does anyone else have any suggestions on how to resolve this problem? Thank you for your help!
I do see this. And I suspect Windows updates. Not Apple (though I would be the first to suspect those too).
iMac graphic drivers for Windows seem touchy and common. The April Windows monthly patch updates hit a few iMac users.
One person found that if they only did updates in smaller steps and not all at once they were fine.
Tuesday this week was another Patch Tuesday.
Games, heat, disk blocks, even RAM errors - one person recently we went round and round... bad blocks not heat, new disk drive and they were 100% stable and rock solid but was hard to rule out. Windows though is easier to test RAM and sectors. And Lion was not even aware or sensitive to those bad sectors and read errors OR RAM errors that Memtest clearly showed (run in OS X).
One person had upgraded RAM, low and behold the new DIMMs were just not fully pushed in and seated and making good contacts.
Try to rule out hardware. Maybe you stumbled on bad block being used now. Run chkdsk if nothing else.
And when updating or preparing to, run Registry cleaner in CCleaner first, Go To %TEMP% and remove everything there. Make a system backup image to another disk drive (NTFS) or with WinClone 3 (HFS, $20) or CampTune ($20).
Or it could just be uninstall one driver at a time, start with GPU, look at what was last installed. Windows drivers are not desireable for GPU. Get the one from AMD or Nvidia instead.

Mid-2010 iMac running Lion Won't Start Up?
I have a mid-2010 iMac running OS X Lion. It was running slow one day so I restarted it. When I restarted it, the iMac went to the white apple logo screen and had a small loading bar at the bottom. After it loaded it would not start up. I have the Snow leapord install disk but I have a wireless keyboard, so I cannot press C to get to the reinstall menu. Any ideas that could help?
Probably your hard disk is damaged. Apple has called some iMacs bought between October 2009 and June 2011 for repair because they have damaged hard disks, so see if you've one of those Macs > http://www.apple.com/support/imac-harddrive
Press C key after the startup sound to boot from the disc, go to Utilities > Disk Utility and repair the disk -
No chime or startup screen 27" mid 2010 imac
Since upgrading to the latest OS 10.8.2, i have many freezes about 2 min after a complete start, porbably a couple times a day since upgrading to the new OS. Now today september 26, 2012 the imac was on but black screen which this has happened before but then i would power it down for a minute and restart without issues, well today it will power up but no chime or startup screen just black screen but it sounds like the HD is working and fans. Any suggestions or anybody else have this issue, i do have an extened warranty on it. Hopefully it is an easy fix???
Contact Apple Service, iMac Service or Apple's Express Lane. Siince you have AppleCare's protection plan and if you're within 50 miles (80 KM) of an Apple repair station, you're eligible for onsite repair since yours is a desktop machine. Might not apply outside the US.

I have windows 8.1 on DVD & on USB CF Reader/Card. I've followed the full steps in bootcamp, but when it restarts and its time to select the bootcamp partition to install windows (after alt rebooting to the efi startup) I get the "Windows can't be installed on this storage device. The chosen harddisk contains a MBR-partition-table. Windows can only be installed on GPT-harddisks on EFI-systems" error.
I've scoured the internet trying different solutions that seem to work for everyone else, but to no avail. I've reformatted from that screen, doesn't help. I've removed bootcamp partition and manually partitioned using disk util, leaving it empty once partition-wise, and filling it with a blank partition the second time. I've done a full back up and clean re-install of Yosemite, and nothing seems to be working.
Thats when I switched to DVD install, as I heard sometimes you can't install with a CF card. When I alt-boot, I can see EFI-windows and windows, but if I select EFI-windows, same problem as before, and if I select windows, I get the black screen of "no bootable device please insert boot disk and press any key."
I've been stuck w/o bootcamp for over 2 years now. Anyone, please help?
Mid 2010 iMac running 256gb SSD, Yosemite 10.10.1 trying to install windows 8.1I am having the same problem. Windows is trying to install. It identifies the various partitions but says that I cannot install Windows on the Boot Camp partition or any other. I select Drive options (advanced) and Format the Boot Camp drive, but it makes no difference.
This is the Windows error:
Windows cannot be installed to this disk. The selected disk has an MBR partition table. On EFI systems, Windows can only be installed to GPT disks.
Windows cannot be installed to this disk. This computer's hardware may not support booting to this disk. Ensure that the disk's controller is enabled in the computer BIOS menu.
I am not sure what Csound1 is suggesting with that post above. There are some involved suggestions over here <https://discussions.apple.com/message/23548999#23548999> about using Disk Utility to delete the Boot Camp partition and create new ones - is that the idea? -
I am a teacher and have 50 mid-2010 iMacs running Windows 7 in my classroom. The computers did a Windows 7 automatic update on or around April 15, 2014. After that, each computer randomly freezes. Some are worse than others. Most of the computers freeze when a USB drive is plugged in and also when a pop-up shows up on the screen - especially the Java update. I have installed the most current Bootcamp drivers and run several anti-virus program searches. I've also tried the Microsoft Fix-it program and almost everything. Uninstalling the updates did not help. Can anyone help me out?
based on what you wrote this doesn't make sense
use system restore to rollback the machine prior to this update

Mid 2010 iMac Windows 7 Problem
Hey there,
I have an Mid 2010 iMac running OSX Lion and I have Windows Vista installed via Bootcamp.
I have Windows 7 saved to a USB drive, and I tried to upgrade to 7 directly from within Vista but when the installation was completing I just got a black screen. I restarted a few times, but still got the black screen during the end steps.
I've tried to start from scratch about 3 times now, but it still wont work.
Can this problem be solved?I'm experiencing the black screen crashes since I started using Windows 7. It doesn't matter if it's 32 or 64 bit, the issue is persistent. First I thought it was the updated nVidia drivers, but after putting a fresh installation of Windows I left the original Boot Camp graphics drivers and the same black screen crashes continued.
However, when I'm running various computer games which utilize lots of GPU power, crashing never happens. Then, when I exit and start using Explorer, IE, MS Office and other simple tools, my computer goes dark. I don't believe reinstalling would change anything. This is definitely a unique problem that I just can't seem to figure out. -
How do I install windows 7 to mid-2010 iMac?
Have a 21.5" iMac with 10.6.8 OS, intel 3.2 GHz mid-2010 model with wireless keyboard and magic mouse. Would like to install Windows 7 either boot camp or with Parallel 7, which ever works. Any advice appreciated. Step by step directions would be welcome. Somewhat spooked by discussions I have read about black screens and loss of keyboard and mouse use.
I have the exact requirement of szl180: installing Windows 7 to a mid-2010 iMac. Only, I did successfully install it under VMWare (so I know the Windows disk is fine) and now want to install a Bootcamp version. Followed Bootcamp procedure only after installing everything and then rebooting Windows 7 shows the four-colored Windows logo and then dies - screen stays black, optical disk stop rotating, and nothing. Attempted to repair it using Windows 7 repair but it says nothing is wrong. Can't use System Restore because it never had an initial restore point. Starting from the DVD and reinstalling just brings me to the same point again though along the way Windows Installer notes that an old edition of Windows is on the drive and will be put into a windows.old file. What do I need to do to "breakthrough" and get the Windows desktop to display?

My mid 2010 iMac is running very slow.
I have done all the usual things such as checking the disk is clean, closing unnecessary programmes etc. I would rather not replace what seems to be a good machine. Any ideas? Below is an etrecheck report on the machine:

If you get a green light then you did not do a factory reset - you must disconnect all wires and follow the instructions above - you will end up with the Extreme blinking yellow - then use the Airport utility to set up the Extreme - you can put in your own names for the network, device etc. - when it comes to the passwords you can use ones of your own choice - it is not asking for the old one - if it is then it was not reset completely - try to reset again if necessary - it may take more than one try - if it still asks for a password then use "public" - it is the default - once you have set it up with your new information, and you have a green light, test the connection with your computer - if you can access the internet then you are all set - then try to a use the Apple TV with the new password - if the computer still asks for a password, then it is asking for the computer password and not the extreme or network password - I can't help you with that - you would have to ask that question on the iMac discussion group.

Mid-2007 iMac Running Mavericks Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit Install
How do I go about installing a Windows 7 Home Premium 64-Bit (OEM) partition on a mid-2007 iMac running Mavericks?
Apple says that 64-bit Windows 7 isn't supported by my model iMac, but I know for a fact that other people have gotten it to work. I'm just a little unclear on how exactly to do it. In any case, I made the mistake of buying two copies of Windows 7 64-bit under the assumption that they would install just fine on my iMac and MacBook Pro (MacBook Pro is from 2007 as well), so I need to get this working.
What version of Boot Camp should I use? What version support drivers should I download? Apple says that Boot Camp 5.1, which is what I have, is incompatible with my iMac, and it says the same thing for every driver download that supports 64-bit versions of Windows 7, but would it be correct to say that this "incompatibility" is only the case if I don't first modify my Windows 7 installation disc according to the instructions in the attached link?
There is a Windows XP partition on my MacBook Pro, so I figure I can get on it to modify the installation disc before attempting a 64-bit Windows 7 install on the iMac.

I have a mid-2011 iMac running Mavericks. When I click restart the computer goes to a white screen with a spinning circle and does not go any further until I hold down the power button to turn it off. What do I do?
Ok, sounds like the safe mode boot worked... You probably don't want to always be in safe mode though (some reduced functionality) so does it do a normal boot now? If not, you should then reboot into safe mode and run Disk Utility. Then select Macintosh HD on the left hand side, and click the Verify Disk button. If needed, it will ask you to Repair Disk. If there are errors found, Repair Disk again until there are none. Then try another normal boot and reply with result, wether good or bad.

Yes, that model can be booted into Snow Leopard 10.6.3 or later. Use the discs that came with the computer to install a compatible version of OS X for the model.

Why am I having major graphical glitches when running windows 7 on my mid 2010 mac book pro
I installed windows 7 on my mid 2010 macbook pro 13". It does not seem like I can tie it to any specific update or driver update. Has any one else noticed this. I found switching to the basic theme has stop the start menu and bottom task bar from glitching out but I can't view anyhing on the web in either windows explorer or firefox. The funny thing is I can log in and play Eve Online with out any issues. It seems to only affect the window pains themselves and anything i try to view on the web.
Yes i did install it when i finished the windows installation. I am thinking something happened during a windows update
