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.

/end blue screen
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.

Windows crashes when ipod syncs to itunes&blue screen appears

Hello and thank you all in advance.
This all began when I disconnected my ipod because it attempted to delete all of my songs. Long story short, I restored it because it kept saying the ipod was corrupt. when I tried to to connect to connect it to desktop, the ipod wasnt being recognized on itunes but my computer recognized it I think in disk mode or something because the folder showed calender, contacts, etc and was under /f. (This may have been due to itunes needing to be updated.)
I decide to try on my laptop and I connect the ipod and it is fine until itunes recognizes it and then a blue screen comes up and it restarts.
It says: "Stop: OX000000023 (OXOOOE100, OXA6ECD548, OXA6ECD244, OX805278AE)"
When I tried to then use it on my desktop again, it too shut down when itunes recognized it.
I have no idea what it is but I have a feeling it is due to my laptop because it didn't shut down my desktop until after I tried with my laptop (which I defragmented the night before.)
Any help will be greatly appreciated!

It says: "Stop: OX000000023 (OXOOOE100, OXA6ECD548, OXA6ECD244, OX805278AE)"
that's a fairly rare one in this sort of context.
is the laptop a Windows 2000 PC? (most of the documentation on that FATFILESYSTEM error at Microsoft refers to Win 2000 boxes.)

Windows XP crashes when iPod Nano or iPhone 3G syncs

My computer has been crashing when i attempt to sync my iPod/iPhone
I had an iPod nano for about a year with no problems, I upgraded to Service Pack 2 and afterwards Service Pack 3 to get my iPhone 3G to work. It sync'ed well the first couple of times but now I cannot even get my old iPod to sync without my computer shutting down, I have the option on to not automatically restart on failure or something like that. No blue screen of death or anything
What should I do because I'm really honestly quite frustrated at this point. Any help is greatly appreaciated.

I've been getting the same problem since upgrading to 7.1. Upgraded to 7.7.1 problem still happens. I have searched everywhere for a fix and a thread where some diagnosis seemed to be taking place but this has been extremely slow.
As a workaround, I found that using an older USB port works. USB 2.0 seems to always crash my iPod Nano 3rd Generation. My 1st Generation works fine with USB 2.0
I hope this helps.

IPod Touch connection causes blue screen of death.

I am using a Dell DHS desktop computer running Windows XP. I want to restore my 2ng generation iPod Touch from a back up in iTunes (9.0.2). I plugged the iPod in and started the restore but about a quarter way through, after the iPod disconnects and reconnects, I got a blue screen of death.
I have no idea why this is happening. Does anybody have a similar problem or, even better, a solution to this?

IPod touch + Software update + Blue screen of death = Broken iPod?

Hi
As the title already might explain, i just connected my iPod to my pc to get some apps & movies on it for my boring schooltrip tomorrow. Whilest iTunes was downloading the new software for my iPod, i just was continueing hanging around on the net, when all out of a sudden, my pc get's a nice blue screen of death. First, i didn't care, untill i checked my iPod... It's stuck on the iTunes logo + the cord. When i press any button, it doesn't do anything. When i press the power, it shuts down after few secs.
I then tried to replug it to the pc to reset it. My pc makes the sound of a usb connection, but nor Windows, nor iTunes finds my iPod.
Can someone please help me?
Thx alot!

I just had my ipod in my pocket and when i got it out to look at a text that i got the screen was white and i couldn't do anything on it so i held both buttons and it shut down and started working again but it did the same thing the other day.... But now it wont shut down or anything. I tried letting the batter go dead on it but it still did the same thing.. i can hear when i get a text and hear to unlock the screen but it stays on a white screen 24/7....what do i do??
I don't have a warranty so how much would it cost to get it fixed???

Windows Vista Crashes when I puge in Ipod

Itunes crashes when iPod is plugged in.

So I just got a new iPod, 160GB classic.
It worked fine for a few days (although it prompted me to download itunes 9 which now makes cd ripping take upto 3 hours, but that's another story), I put some of the stuff I already had on my comp onto my iPod.
Yesterday I was asked to download the latest iTunes update, and now that I have (iTunes downloaded and installed it by itself) everytime I plug my iPod in iTunes crashes. iTunes is fine on it's own, but if an iPod is plugged in it just freezes and I have to close it using task manager.
My brother has an iPod classic 120gb which he's had for the last 6 months and he said he's always had this problem, only very occasionally has it actually worked for him (and even today, his iPod only has artists A-C and he can't update any further!).
These were both gifts and we need the problem solving immediately. We're both on different laptops (windows vista) that run fine with no problems regarding memory or anything like that.
Thanks

I have an iTouch and the same thing happens to the 3 of us here. What wI do to avoid it is to manage your iTunes and all the changes first, THEN plug in your iPod. It doesn't freeze for me then. But, if I plug it in right away, it freezes. Hope this helps for you.

ITunes crashing when iPod is plugged in, works when iPod is disconnected

Like the title says, iTunes 8 is crashing for me when my iPod is plugged in, but it's working fine when the iPod isn't plugged in.
Earlier today, I upgraded to iTunes 8 and also downloaded the iPod touch update (2.1). I didn't have time for it to install though because I was going to be late for class, so I left the iPod connected, shut the laptop and brought it with me to class. I opened it up when I got there, to see if the installation process would continue, but it didn't... so I did a force quit.
My iPod still works fine, but my iTunes doesn't. I don't know if it was because I did the force quit that made iTunes sucky, but either way, I've tried a bunch of things to fix it.
1. Reinstall
2. Disable Last.fm plugin (crash report window said that it could be causing it the crashing)
3. Reboot into safe mode and reinstall
and there's probably more things I did to try to fix the problem but they didn't work.
Sooo...
Can anyone help?
Thanks much!

I have the same problem: if I load iTunes for a second time and my iPod is plugged in the iTunes app and the system menus (top right corner of screen) freeze up.
Unplugging and plugging in the iPod seems un-freeze everything for me.

Connecting IPod Touch gives a blue screen of death on windows xp home

Hi,
I recently got a new ipod touch. I downloaded the itunes 9.1 and connected the ipod touch with my PC to configure it for the time first time. After connecting the machine detected it as a camera and then it gave me a BSOD.
I updated my machine with all the automatic updates from microsoft, even tried downloading and updating some patches manually but nothing worked out.
I searched the apple support pages and did the activities mentioned there but none seems to be working
I have no other USB devices connected on my machine, there are no webcams or printers attached to the PC
Any help is appreciated, I have been trying for last 2 days and finally gave up
Thanks

Ta very much, Jason! That's useful to know.
These sorts of outdated-software clashes can hang around for the longest time. Back before you came on board, one of the common causes of BSODs was a version of Roxio Easy CD creator (5.0 I think ...) that wasn't actually compatible with XP. If you had it on board, it quite was plausible that you couldn't get your XP PC to boot ... but for some folks the problem lay dormant, and their first sign of trouble with it was when the PC had iTunes installed on it, and the PC started blue-screening if they plugged in an iPod, inserted a CD, or sometimes just tried to launch iTunes.
Used to catch in particular folks who had upgraded their OS from ME to XP.
Mercifully extinct or vanishingly rare now ... but it kept showing up for me here in 2005 through 2007 ...

Itunes and Windows Explorer crash when ipod attached

Hi, for some reason my ipod has started to crash both my laptop and my home desktop computer whenever i attach it. It shows up in Windows Explorer but if i click on the icon it crashes the window. Similarly, Itunes opens if i attach my ipod but then freezes straight away, but then if i take out my ipod it starts to work fine again. Im starting to think that seeing as this is happening on more than one computer it might be a fault with the ipod. Any ideas?!
O and it's a 120gb ipod classic and im using the most up to date itunes on vista.
Thanks alot

Im starting to think that seeing as this is happening on more than one computer it might be a fault with the ipod.
I'm with you on that. By any chance do you have a spare USB cable (or have access to a different one)? If so, try experimenting with connecting using the other cable. Do you still get the freeze with that?

IPod touch blue screen of death on vista when synching photos

Hi forum,
I've just purchased my gorgeous iPod Touch 16Gb. However, when I try and synch it to my Windows Vista PC (32 bit enterprise edition), it blue screens, does a memory dump, then restarts every time.
This only happens when synching photos, specifically when the "optimising photos for iPod" process takes place.
I'm running the latest version of iTunes (7.4.3.1), the iPod software is current, and my computer is fully patched and up-to-date.
Is there anyone out there who can help me solve this problem? The photo functionality is one of the reasons I bought the iPod, and I would like to get this sorted!
Thanks!
Frustrated iPod user.

Restore does nothing + it's brand new - any other ideas?

HELP!!!! Blue screen of death, IPOD a p.o.s.....

In advance - thank you to anyone who can help and/or explain things to me. I'm better than your average bear at tech stuff, but this is well beyond my knowledge area. It's a version of the same problem everyone seems to have:
1. Ipod worked successfully for 14 months. (2nd generation, no clickwheel)
2. Connected, ipod claims needs to be reformatted, crashed during.
3. Apple store reset ipod for a mac, still needed to reformat for windows at home.
4. Several crashes and various states later, am now repeatedly getting the following:
- Computer recognizes Ipod, itunes and updater won't.
- open updater to reset ipod, within minutes get blue screen of death.
- sometimes only connecting ipod will produce blue screen of death
- Error messages are as follows:
STOP 0x000000EA THREADSTUCK_IN_DEVICEDRIVER (Q293078)
- Event log is telling me the following:
"The Parallel port driver service failed to start due to the following error:
The service cannot be started, either because it is disabled or because it has no enabled devices associated with it."
"The device, \Device\Harddisk1\D, has a bad block."
"The device, , did not respond within the timeout period."
"An error was detected on device \Device\Harddisk1\D during a paging operation."
- What I have tried: uninstalled and reinstalled ipod/itunes, reset computer to previous dates settings, disabled/enabled through device manager
So, short of heading off to steve job's house to yell at him, what should i do?????? The apple store people claim the actual ipod is fine. is the problem my computer? the cord? the ipod?

Blue screen of death ipod

When I turned on my ipod I got a blue screen of death & then i went through a bunch of information screens thinking it woulld lead me to the end but I hit a brick wall when this screen showed up.... This is the set up:: This is what the screen says on the top :
Accersorize Test
& on the main screen it says:
Please plug FW
LCD ID : 1
FWPWR : 0
What does that mean? What do I do?
Theres no life bar, I've been keeping plugged in. Should I just let it drain & start over? Or would that be unwise? Would that kill my ipod?
There are some play lists on this ipod i would like to transfer to my new itunes.
Can this be fixed? (please help) ty

Not sure how it got to that screen, but it's a diagnostics output. If you want to get past this, try a hard reset of your iPod. To do this, first make sure the hold switch is not activated, then press and hold both the Select (Center) and Menu buttons together long enough for the Apple logo to appear.
