Hey, I had the same trouble in combination with an Asus M2N board (and also with my current M4A) --- in my case I got the card to work by putting it into a different PCI slot. Maybe that

Brand new macbook pro - blue screen of death?

I received my 15" macbook pro in the mail only 10 days ago. I noticed that it seemed a little bit slow every once in a while. Today I ran software update. As it began the process of the auto-reboot, it got stuck on the purpley-spacey-image with a pinwheel for WAY longer than it should have. It became apparent that it wasn't going anywhere.
I then did a hard power-off, and a safe re-boot. After the progress bar completed, it moved to the dreaded blue screen. The rotating gear would appear, then disappear with a changing of shade on the blue screen. Again, I waited WAY too long. It again became apparent that it was going no where. Hard power-off, safe-reboot. Same problem. Hard power-off, normal boot. Same problem, but this time with no gear. What should I do? I'm stuck on the blue screen.
I've not installed hardly any software - dropbox and prey are the only two I can think of. I'm using Snow Leopard, not Windows.
Thank you very much for your help,
Dave

OK! For the benefit of anyone else who has this problem I have solved it. I downloaded the latest driver from the Marvell Yukon website (http://www.marvell.com) but went for the 88E8053 driver - picked that up from a blog elsewhere talking about Win XP 64 bit installs - then uninstalled the Ethernet card driver from Device Manager and restarted. When XP rebooted it automatically found the new hardware and apparently reinstalled the driver (not sure if it was from the drivers it already had or from my download) and now it doesn't crash when enabled. Happy Times!!!!!!!!!!!! I hope this saves someone the several hours I've just wasted...

Older Macbook Pro Blue Screen

I have a 2006 Macbook Pro with Snow Leopard. 15" Display. Had a problem with a blue screen appearing for various small amounts of time primarily when viewing video on the Internet. Usually only occurred during 1st half hour of use. After that no problem. I took it to the shop and they replaced the system board less than 1 year ago. That did not correct the problem. It is still occurring and seems to be lasting for longer periods of time (anywhere from 5 to 30 seconds) but eventually does stop during that particular use. Can anyone point me in the right direction to finding out why this is happening? Originally started about 1.5 years ago. Thanks in advance.

Hi William,
Wow, that's a strange one. I'm trying to think of why it would happen in the first 30 minutes. Normally, heat causes issues, but I suppose there could be some situations that heat helps resolve.
If it's hardware related, once you replace the LB, it doesn't leave a whole lot. It could be the display data cable, but I sure wouldn't bet too much on that.
http://www.ifixit.com/Guide/Repair/Installing-MacBook-Pro-15-Inch-Core-Duo-Model -A1150-Display-Data-Cable/1210/1
Was RAM replace with the new LB? If not, you could try some RAM swapping (remove one module, boot/run; switch same module to other slot, boot/run; repeat with other module).

MacBook Pro hanging with blue screen and spinner after installing Software Update

Hi I was wondering if someone could help me with this current issue. Just a few hours ago I finished reinstalling Mac OS X Snow Leopard in my MacBook Pro. I performed a clean installation as part of a yearly spring cleaning that I do on all my systems to keep them optimized. So there was I downloading some software updates which included the combo update of OSX 10.6.8 and others. The updates finished downloading and the system logged out to install the updates, when the updates finished installing my MacBook proceeded by logging out into a blue screen and show a gray spinner similar to the one seen when you start your Mac. Here's the problem after 2 hours the system is showing the spinner and the blue screen, I think that my computer has just hanged in the reboot process.
I was wondering what should I do? Do a force restart? Or leave it overnight?
Also, where can I find any information on what error is causing this issue?
I appreciate your responses and help.
By the way, I installed Mac OS X from a USB stick that has the original image of the disk installer that came bundled with my computer.

Force a shutdown. Do not restart yet, but first do the following:
Repair the Hard Drive
Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported, then quit DU and return to the installer.
If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
Next, boot into Safe Mode then restart normally.
Hi Kappy,
Checked the hard drive after forcing a shutdown and booting from my Snow Leopard Installer USB Key and the status of the HDD says "Verified". I ran the repair and the volume was repaired successfully. Clicked on "Verify Disk" and it says "Macintosh HD appears to be OK". So I ran a second repair and again no errors were reported.
As suggested I booted back again in Safe Mode and restarted normally. All software appears to have been installed successfully. But I don't understand why my computer hanged and showed the spinner after installing the updates in the blue screen that appears just before rebooting. I am aware that the system shows that spinner after a OS update but the longest it lasts is 30 seconds at the most in my previous cases.

Macbook pro blue screen appears randomly - any ideas as to its cause?

I have a macbook pro (mid 2011 15") and intermittently when using the internet the screen goes blue (like the blue screen when starting up). I have to close the lid to put it to sleep and then reopen it in order to continue using the computer. I have had it looked at twice by Apple technicians, on the first occasion the operating system (Snow Leopard) was reinstalled and on the second diagnostic checks were run on the RAM and logic board. However, the problem occurs infrequently and couldn't be reproduced while in Apple's hands. On neither occasion was a problem / fault identified yet the randomly occuring blue screen has persisted. I would greatly appreciate it if anyone has any idea as to the cause of the problem and a possible solution.

at first step,try to change yor RAM / memory with other memory's MBP.and used it several hours.because some MBP early 2011 got blue screen because that hardware.
good luck.

Acrobat 9 Pro blue-screens during installation (registration) and bluescreens during uninstall

I tried to install Acrobat 9 Pro. It got to the registration part and Acrobat crashed my Win 7 laptop with a PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA (error 0x50 on bluescreen). Attempting to uninstall results in the same error/blue screen. I can do an installation repair, which does complete, but when I start Adobe Acrobat, it still brings up Acrobat and seems to work fine only for about 10 seconds beore it bluescreens with the same error. I still cannot uninstall or run Acrobat without bluescreening. I can run Adobe Reader, Photoshop CS5, Lightroom 4 and do anything I usually do on my laptop without any issues. However, if I try to use Acrobat, it crashes my laptop every time. I once was able to bring up the option to update the software and I saw some message about registration or something being disabled, but it crashed immediately so I was unable to fully read the message.

What has happened is that you have selected to install the PDF add-on which will not run alongside your version of Acrobat. Without warning, the installation just uninstalls the incompatible full version of Acrobat.
I don't think you can just uninstall the add-on so you will need to uninstall Rh, reinstall Acrobat 9 then reinstall Rh deselecting the add-on.
I am not sure that will be entirely trouble free as Word has to be compatible with Acrobat and I don't know if your two versions are.
It's not a way of forcing you to upgrade but I do agree it could be handled better.

Can anyone help me? MacBook pro, blue screen

Hi can anyone help me please? I have a MacBook pro (13") I had an unexpected error (error code -10813), I now have a blue screen and all my apps at the bottom dock have disappeared. The time & date is in a different font (what looks to be like the safe mode font I remember from my old desktop!) I can't click on the apple sign at the top, when I do the few items on my desktop that are there disappear as the multicoloured wheel spins as it freezes for a few seconds. And anything I click on has this error code. It all happened when I was deleting music from my iTunes then I was forced to turn off with a message saying switch off from power button. since then dreaded blue screen! Thanks if you know how to help

Kind of hard to determine, try Safe mode and Repair disk etc
Perhaps you can get away with just reinstalling OS X and that will fix it

Mac book pro blue screen

I have bought macbook pro 3years ago and now i see some kind of stupid color in my screen , and my laptop is also crashes down and i can see blue screen and sometime yellow screen with blue stripes and also horizon tall , i wonder whats wrong ?

You may have to take the computer to the Apple store to have it checked out.
Before that you can try resetting PRAM and SMC.
Startup in Safe Mode.

New MBP Blue Screen on Boot Camp Install

I just installed XP SR2 on my new MBP, when I try to install the drivers from the DVD, it gets about half-way through and then goes to the blue screen of death (BSOD), then restarts...I have tried individually installing the drivers, but I tried to install the wireless "BroadcomInstaller" and it went to a blue screen of death again. The problem is two fold. (1) I have no idea I have having a problem via the DVD install, I know I selected the format correclty (NFTS), and I have tried to install with nothing externally attached. (2) I have no idea what individual drivers I am suppose to install. I have installed BC and XP on another MBP without a hitch. Any suggestions.

Never mind, I just figured out, I own both a MacBook and now my MBP, I was trying to use my MB disc's...I am an idoit! DRC

Why does Premiere Pro blue-screen if Windows Audio Service is enabled?

Since I enabled ASIO in Premiere Pro, I have to remember to disable the Windows Audio Service before starting Premiere Pro, or else it will blue-screen at some point, usually after I pause playback of a video clip. It only happens in ASIO audio mode, and completely goes away if I disable Windows Audio. Something is interacting badly between the Premiere Pro ASIO driver and the Windows Audio service. The error message has something to do with USB host or something like that...I don't have it in front of me right now.
I tried to create a batch file to disable the service, then run Premiere Pro with "start /wait", then re-enable it when premiere is closed, but Premiere Pro cannot be run by that command, unlike every other executable I've ever used it on. It just doesn't come up. So I tried with a Powershell script instead, and when doing the equivalent in Powershell, Premiere Pro starts, but the window is blank and hangs forever until you kill it by clicking the X. I would be fine with a scripting workaround, but Premiere Pro is really really really resistant to that apparently, so my only option is to remember to disable it manually EVERY SINGLE TIME. It's just annoying when I forget to disable it and then I lose work, and probably hard drive clusters, when the blue-screen comes. And if I want to export something to another program in the suite that doesn't use ASIO, I won't be able to play audio without closing Premiere and fiddling with the service.
Here are the specs that might be relevant:
-Windows 7 x64
-M-Audio FastTrack Pro sound card (usb) [latest drivers]
-12 GB RAM
-Intel core i7
-gtx 460 video card with the ini file CUDA hack

I'll make sure to do that. But in case the bug takes a long time to fix or gets pointed to M-Audio, who will most likely not ever fix it if it's in their stuff, does anybody know how I can get the batch file and/or powershell solution to work? I don't really get why Premiere Pro would know or care who launched it as long as it launched in its own process.

Blue screen on new iphone 6 plus

Just brought this phone for about a month, and today, when I'm taking photos(front lens), right after i tapped the shooting button, it crashed and the screen gone blue. The phone reboots itself right after, but after the reboot I've noticed my battery was draining VERY FAST, like 2% every 5 mins without any heavy-apps on, within a half hour my battery went out from ~80% to 57%, I soon charge it, and the battery level went up to 60% immediately.
Besides the blue screen and battery issue i've found, my front lens also has some problem, it's that every time when i'm taking photos(front lens again) on my sofa(which is brown in color), some of the photo would have a weird color, like having a part of area in black and white, and some in a more orange-ish tone in one photo.
I wonder if the crash has anything to do with the camera problem i had, is it a hardware problem?Or software?Or anyone having similar experience like ME??

I had a 5s phone that blue screened as well. At first it would just happen once every few weeks so I didn't think it was a problem. But then it happend more and more frequent to the point were it just locked up and was just rebooting constantly and then the phone became unusable. Hopefully you don't have a defective phone, but if the problem persists, I would just take it in and get a new one.
