Qosmio F60 - Toshiba updates causing the blue screen (BSOD)

• NVidia updates causing the blue screen in Windows XP.

  I have two different desktop computers running Windows XP. Both have NVidia graphics cards. I recently downloaded Microsoft updates on a computer and noticed blue screen on shut down, page non paged area error code 50. It seems to suggest a problem with the display adapter. I tried several bugs to fix, but it persists most of the time. I assumed that it was unique to this computer until I downloaded the updates on my second computer, which I hadn't used in the month. All of a sudden I wake up a blue screen that is similar to booting with similar suggestion, it is the display adapter driver. NV4_DISP.dll in this case. What I noticed about this "update" is an update which is optional for NVidia and AC97. I downloaded both, but noted that they were dated 2003. I worked my way around the blue screen when starting in safe mode and cancelled the NVidia driver for... 2006! This was the driver I had installed from the Web of NVidia site, some time ago. The AC97 driver showed also a problem in the device driver, so I rolled back and things worked. I think that Microsoft sent an update for the drivers of video card NVidia and AC97 Codec which is damaged or outdated. This is not unique to Windows XP that others seem to experience it in Windows Vista and 7. My video cards are the two NVidia, but different models, which adds credibility to my theory. Any ideas or solutions?

  1. after making back the driver, change your configuration of automatic update of the automatic for the only Notify ("notify but not...") ") setting.

  2. open IE (only) to http://support.microsoft.com/kb/971058 & run it in DEFAULT difficulty and modes and AGGRESSIVE, and then restart your computer. [1]

  3. thereafter, NEVER approve the download (or install) updates offered by Windows Update driver, just "hide". Download all the NECESSARY updated driver from the device or computer manufacturers' download pages ONLY.

  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
  [1] full Disclosure: the difficulty operating in AGGRESSIVE mode will remove your update history but not list the updates installed in Add/Remove Programs (Windows XP) or installed updates.

  Hi Randy Gauthier Leclerc,.

  Could you give us the exact error message you get started?
  Are you able to boot to the desktop?
  Were you running any system restore after installing these updates?
   
  If you are able to boot to the desktop, we can edition all updates then install them one by one and check what update causes the update. We can avoid the update conflict by doing this.

  It is a possibility that one of the updates is at the origin of the conflict. I advise you to uninstall all updates and check. You can install these updates one by one, then check update is conflicted and you can avoid this particular update.
  You have installed for a list of the latest updates, follow the steps below:
  1. click on start and in the search bar type Windows Update and press ENTER.
  2. click on "View Update History".
  3. now click on installed updates.
  4. right click on the update you want to uninstall, and then press Ok.

• Causing the Blue Screen of Death (IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL) wireless adapter

  I had a Linksys WUSB600N Wireless-N USB adapter (dual band ver. 2) for a period of several months now, no problem, running on Windows 7 Pro 32-bit.  So without any hardware or software changes (to my knowledge), have the adapter plugged during initialize causes my computer blue screen.  Unplug, Windows starts fine, but it will crash again in the same way once I plug the unit and it research networks.

  I went to the Linksys site and downloaded the Windows 7 driver for the card (they have even one for as long as I was using Vista all this time), and that seems to help for a little bit.  For some reason any my computer not collapsed yet until I wait long enough after the departure to the top before plugging.  But it's about all or nothing.

  It's the essence of the blue screen message (had to find somewhere else and copy it so not sure the numeric codes below):

  A problem has been detected and windows has shut down to prevent damage to your computer.

  IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL

  If this is the first time you've seen this stop error screen, restart your computer. If this screen appears again, follow these steps:

  Check that a new hardware or software is installed correctly. If it is a new installation, ask your hardware manufacturer or software, the windows updates, you might need.

  If problems continue, disable or remove any newly installed hardware or software. Disable the BIOS memory options such as implementing caching or shading. If you need to use safe mode to remove or disable components, restart your computer, press F8 to select advanced startup options, and then select Safe Mode.

  Technical information:
  STOP: 0X0000000A (0X00000002, 0X00000000, 0XCDCDCDC9, 0X804DBE7B)

  The date of the beginning of the physical memory dump
  Total physical memory dump.
  For more assistance, contact your system administrator or technical support group.

  I tried to start in safe mode, but it won't work without networking, so I wasn't able to learn something useful about the problem.  I don't have that much experience with technical problems, although I spent a good amount of time working on driver problems.  No help no matter who might be able to give me would be greatly appreciated.

  What do you mean "that it was the video driver?"   A defective hardware and faulty kernel-mode components are the things that can cause a blue screen (not this external stimulus cannot trigger a bug in a driver). There are many components that interact in kernel mode, if e.g. a third-party driver who may undergo rigorous testing even as something like a driver provided by Microsoft for something can corrupt the memory that will be used later by another component.  This component seems to be blamed, even if it's really the victim.  Driver Verifier adds controls for these kinds of things, at the expense of performance (why it has not enabled all the time).

• CD/DVD drive, causing the Blue Screen of Death stop

  Software from CD/DVD in my Dimension E510 desktop seems to be the dreaded blue screen shut downs - usually as a CD is ejected. The web page error analysis Windows that appears after that restart indicates the problem is caused by a resulting driver. It's the Sonic Digital Media software provided on the system, but sometimes when I run the program I get a warning message saying that the software is not an approved final version? I would like to uninstall the Sonic CD/DVD software which seems to be the cause of the problem and replace it. This will probably solve the problem of the "blue screen", and which would be a recommended CD/DVD operating system that would be compatible with my system. Any suggestion would be appreciated.

• My computer Toshiba Satellite keeps the 'blue screen' and that is to say that it is caused by "a problem with a USB driver. How can I fix it?

  Resolve a problem with a USB driver

  You have received this message because your universal serial (USB) bus driver caused a stop error, also known as a blue screen error. This error means that the computer has stopped abruptly to protect against potential corruption of data or loss.

  What is a driver?

  A driver is software that allows your computer to communicate with hardware or devices. Without drivers, the hardware you connect to your computer (for example, a video card or a webcam) may not work properly.

  The recommended steps that follows can help to eliminate this problem, or at least reduce its frequency. Try them in the order listed. If a step cannot solve or reduce the problem, then move on to the next.

  Steps to fix this problem

  1. Adjust your computer's power settings

     The following power settings may help reduce the frequency of this problem.

     1. Turn off the USB selective suspend setting:

        1. Click on the Start button .

        2. In the search box, type power options, and then press ENTER.

        3. Find the plan selected, and then click change plan settings.

        4. Click change advanced power settings.

        5. Double-click the USB settings , and then double-click on USB selective suspend setting.

        6. Make sure that the USB selective suspend setting is disabled. If it is enabled, click it and select disabledand then click OK.

     2. Disable power saving mode (computer portable computers only):

        1. Click on the Start button .

        2. In the search field, type power options, and then press ENTER.

        3. Under Preferred Plans, ensure that High Performance is selected, and then close the window.

  2. Look for an update of the BIOS for your computer system

     Several computer manufacturers whose computers have this problem published BIOS updates to fix this known issue. Contact your computer manufacturer to see if a BIOS update is available for your computer model.

     What is the BIOS?

     The basic input/output system (BIOS) is software built into a computer that runs when the computer is turned on. Among other things, this software starts the operating system, and supports the transfer of information between hardware devices (such as the keyboard and the monitor).

     How can I find the manufacturer of my computer?

     Click on the Start button , type msinfo32 in the start search box and press ENTER. The manufacturer of your computer is listed as the manufacturer of the system in the right pane of the system information window.

     Click here to go online to see the contact information for most of the computer manufacturers

  3. Download and install the latest updates and drivers for your computer

  It's a good idea to periodically check the updates of driver for your computer, especially if you added new hardware recently, such as a USB hub or other USB device.

  What is a USB hub?

  A USB hub is a device with multiple (USB) universal serial bus ports. USB ports are narrow and rectangular connection points to connect USB devices to your computer. A USB hub is used an Extender of port or port replicator, providing more USB ports to run from a USB connection on your computer. USB hubs can be external devices that connect to a USB port, or they can be internal devices built into your computer.

  To check for driver updates:

  1. Use Windows Update to find and install updates:

     1. Go online to Windows Update

     2. Click the check for updates in the left pane, and then click view available updates.

        What happens if I see any updates available?

        • If you see you receive updates: managed by your system administrator, you can try clicking on the link to check online for updates from Microsoft Update or Search online for updates from Windows Update, but you should maybe contact your system administrator to get the desired updates.

        • If you do not see the message above and no update is available in Windows Update after clicking on the link check the updates in the left pane, then the available updates have already been installed.

     3. Select the driver for your device updates and more updates to install.

        Note
        We recommend that you install all Important updates and recommended. These updates improve the security and stability of your computer.

     4. Click on install. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.

  2. If you recently added a new hardware device on your computer, go online to the manufacturer's Web site to see if there is an update to the driver.

  3. If you recently added a new program on your computer, go online to the manufacturer's Web site to see if an update is available.

  Steps to work around this problem

  Warning
  These measures are intended to solve a specific problem, but could do so by temporarily disabling or removing some features on your computer.

  1. Try to remove newly added USB devices

     If this issue occurs after adding a USB hub or other USB device, consider removing to see if the problem goes away. If this resolves the problem, contact the manufacturer of the device for the updates or other recommendations.

  2. Do not disconnect USB devices while the computer is to stop or go to sleep

  This problem is known to occur when USB devices are disconnected when the computer is trying to stop or switch mode to 'sleep'. This is common with cell phones, especially those with a docking station, as docking station can act as a USB hub. The frequency of this problem could be reduced by allowing your computer to completely close or completely in sleep mode before detached from its docking station or unplug it or the docking station USB devices.

  If you know which USB device is causing the problem

  It may be possible to prevent the Blue error screen by choosing the option remove the device safely in the Notification area, before putting your computer into sleep or Hibernate mode.

  1. In the system tray, click the icon to remove the device , select the USB device that you think that the origin of the problem and then click OK.

  2. Do not physically remove the USB device.

  3. Perform the action which resulted in the Blue error screen, so that was taken the functioning of your computer after the mode standby, hibernation, or, in the case of laptops, close the laptop computer or place it in a docking station.

     1. If the Blue error screen persists, it is likely that the problem is with another USB device. Try this procedure using other USB devices until you find that at the origin of the problem.

• If the Blue error screen disappeared, you have probably identified the device causing the problem. Contact the manufacturer of the device for more information on how to solve this problem, or use the option to remove the device safely to work around him.

Note
Depending on the manufacturer and model, some USB devices will become available automatically when you resume using your computer. Others will require that first disconnect you physically and then plug back in front, they will be recognized by the computer. Check the system tray to see if the USB device that you removed safely become available when you started to use your computer again. If she did not become available automatically, then physically unplug it and then plug it in again.

This is the screen it gives me. Help, please! If problem fixed, will BE AWARDED!

• Qosmio F60 - stop slower and a blue screen with driver out of State

  Hello
  I've only had the F60 for a few weeks and although it worked well for 2 weeks, 2 days has been a disaster. First AutoCAD crashes during startup and does not at all.
  So, my Outlook 2007 do not meet 1 / 3 times.
  Finally, whenever I stop, this is a very slow stop (10-20 minutes) and then blue screens, restarts and says that it is a driver fault status.

  Help - what someone else had these problems?

  You'll be lucky if someone else uses the same software as you and you can check this.
  My personal opinion is that all of the problems described are certainly software related issues.

  We do not know how you set up your laptop, what modules are preinstalled, software that runs in the background and all other important info is not easy to discuss these issues.

  I'm sure that you do not have these problems on the first day, right?

  I know you hate me now, but maybe you should back up all your important data and install the OS to help original Toshiba recovery image. After having this software to remove all the preinstalled you do not need (additional Toshiba stuff) and continue with the installation of Microsoft Office. Check the functionality and continue to install your favorite step by step software and watch carefully what happens.

  Also disable automatic Windows Update and change this option to check for updates but let me choose... option. So, you will have full control over updates.

• By clicking on the firefox icon causes the blue screen crash

  It started Friday, February 25, at mid-day. The only changes to the system this morning there were a plugin Adobe Flash player or Shockwave update, I'm not sure and an update on the Office of Scottrade Elite trading app. Two of these changes took place around 0900. The problems began around 1130, when the system, Windows 7 Home Premium had a blue screen crash. Therefore, I uninstalled each of the applications mentioned. I can't open Firefox to work on plugins, because whenever I click on the icon I get a crash blue screen with the words "Failure of Page in the nonpaged area" at the top. I also uninstalled and reinstalled the Firefox application with no clear beneficial effect. Scottrade trading app has been reinstalled and working well, causing no other probs.

  Hi all

  I have just recived an e-mail from mrcart and I think it is very likely that his problems were caused by "Iolo System Mechanic Pro":

  "Windows 7 crashes with blue screen during the execution of IE8, 'page in the nonpaged area failure'...
  What this shows is that the ampse.sys driver is the cause of the crash.
  The ampse.sys is a driver for System Mechanic Pro.

• Bluetooth, causing the blue screen with error message: out of State driver

  Hello

  I am posting this in the other thread here but it was closed before I could solve the problem.
  Background:
  I left on vacation for 4 weeks and I left my computer.  When I came back, my computer was giving me the following problems:
  • Video playback of my SIN was rough and freezing - I fixed that by finding out one of the drives died on RAID-1
  • After 30 minutes, the computer would give me a Blue Screen of Death (BSOD) and reboot - I have updated every driver I could, each piece of software, update the BIOS and then finally solved the problem by updating the firmware on my boot drive: a Crucial 128 GB SSD m4

  These two problems have been resolved, but can be useful to understand the current problem

  Current problem:
  After trying to use the webcam for video chat via Gtalk or Skype, my Bluetooth Logitech MX5500 keyboard and mouse stop responding.  About 10-15 minutes after the call is completed, my computer gives a Blue Screen of Death with the message of STATE FAILURE of PILOT.
  The minidump file is available here, and I understand that the cause is due to my Bluetooth driver: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/30633232/052212-24429-01.dmp
  What I tried:
  • I've updated all the drivers available on the Asus site for my motherboard Asus P8P67 EVO, including Bluetooth and the BIOS driver
  • I've updated my HD Audio integrated system with the drivers available on the Web from Realtek site
  • I've updated all my drivers webcam and Logitech software
  • I uninstalled, restart and reinstalled my Bluetooth drivers
  • I have not matched and repaired my Logitech MX5500 keyboard and mouse
  • I uninstalled, restart and reinstalled both Skype and Gtalk for Chrome, Firefox and Internet Explorer plugin
  The ask:
  I'm out of ideas... would like to get the genius of someone on these boards help me please!

• Update caused Windows Blue Screen of Death. Suggested fix does not work.

  In February, my Sony Vaio laptop has been updated automatically by Microsoft and now it does not start.  I followed all the instructions in this thread

  (http://social.answers.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/vistawu/thread/73cea559-ebbd-4274-96bc-e292b69f2fd1/#e9b28c45-635c-4adf-8d24-817bf39c207b)

  but when I get to the point where I need to type some commands, uninstall, My Favorites keys displayed on the screen and I'm unable to type the codes or move forward.  As you can tell long time between when this problem occurred and that now, I gave up in frustration for a while but I simply could not live without my cell phone any longer and I'd rather not pay someone to fix this.  Any ideas or suggestions?

  Hello subvertdonthurt,

  All if suggestions published in the forum http://social.answers.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/vistawu/thread/73cea559-ebbd-4274-96bc-e292b69f2fd1/#e9b28c45-635c-4adf-8d24-817bf39c207b do not work for you, do a restore of the system from the Recovery Console.

  Here's how:

  Step i. access the recovery by using the OS CD console. As already suggested, you must have your OS CD to repair. (Or the image that you created the instructions above).

  To run the Recovery Console from the startup of Windows XP or the Windows XP CD-ROM diskettes, follow these steps:

  Insert the diskette of starting Windows XP in the floppy drive, or insert the Windows XP CD into the CD-ROM drive and restart the computer.
  Click to select all of the options required to start the computer from the CD-ROM drive if you are prompted to do so.
  When the "Welcome" screen appears, press R to start the Recovery Console and follow the process until you get to the recovery console command prompt.screen.

  STAGE II. At the Recovery Console prompt, type the following lines (in blue), and then press ENTER after.

  1 cd-(Note: between "cd" and "------" there should be an 'empty space' or still command does not work)
  2 cd system ~ 1\_resto ~ 1

  If it gives an error "Access denied" when accessing the folder, follow the method below

  CD.
  CD windows\system32\config
  ren system system.bak
  output

  Restart the computer, and then follow step I.

  3 dir

  When you hit it will list all records of points of restoration as rp1, rp2... we see the last restore point to copy the file from a recent backup. If the restore points have more than one page, then you keep pressing the key to display the last restore point folder. Use the other to the last restore point. (the last restore point is maybe damaged)

  4 cd rp {the next to the last restore point only.} (Note: example: cd rp9, if rp9 is the next to the last restore, point where the last restore point n = 9)

  5 cd snapshot

  Now, the command prompt will look like this c:\system~1\_resto~1\rp9\snapshot > ( Note: restore point 9A assumed for the clarity of the content, you must go to the next to the last restore point folder, as described in the previous lines) now according to the error message to copy the appropriate file in the restore point folder.

  6 copy _registry_machine_system c:\windows\system32\config\system
  7. Type Exit, and then press ENTER.

  I hope this helps.

• Computer guard stop and causing the blue screen Error Message

  With the help of a Dell Vostro 200 with Windows XP Professional.  Suddenly, after you have moved the computer from one office to the next, she regularly stops and we get this blue screen that says:

  Technical information:

  STOP: 0X000000D1 (0 X 00000060, 0XAA2AD341, 0000002 0 X, 0 X 0000000)

  For more assistance, contact your administrator or technical support group.

  A problem has been detected and Windows has shut down to prevent damage to your computer.

  Drive_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL

  If this is the first time you've seen this Stop error screen, restart your computer.  If this screen appears again follow these steps:

  Make sure any new hardware or software is installed correctly.  If it is a new installation, ask your hardware manufacturer or software, the Windows updates, you might need.

  If the problem persists, disable any newly installed hardware or software, disable memory options such as caching or shadowing the BIOS.  If you need to use Mode safe mode to remove or disable components of your computer restarts, press F8 to select advanced startup options, and then select Safe Mode.

  Can anyone help?  I installed an update of the necessary BIOS and that did not help and the computer is configured to have Windows Installer automatically what is updated, it needs.

  Thank you.
