Mac Pro :: Win 7 On Intel Xeon Mac Pro - Getting Blue Screens

Jun 10, 2009

I have a Intel Xeon Mac Pro and I've been able to put XP and Vista on it without issue, but am now trying to put Win 7 on it and every time after doing the initial installing files and then reboot, it comes to a blue screen and reboots very quickly.

Has anyone run into this and if so have you found a work around?

For more info, I created a Windows partition in Leopard using the Boot Camp utility and divided my drive equally. Then I insert the Win 7 disc and click on the start install and it reboots. I select the Boot Camp partition and format it. It copies files and does the install process and eventually gets to a point where it reboots and goes to load the Win 7 OS and this is when it blue screens.

I have done all the firmware updates on my Mac Pro, I even tried it on another Mac Pro with the same results.

I've redownloaded the iso direct from MS and burned it using different brand disc and using a different burning app. I tried the 64bit version also and whenever I use that version it comes up asking me what CD drive, 1 or 2, I can't enter in a 1 or a 2 or do anything at all but turn the machine off. I even tried it on another Mac Pro with the same result.

I tried removing the OS X drive and having only 1 hard drive in the system that's just for installing Win 7 to, all to no avail. Every time with the 32bit version I get a blue screen and every time with the 64bit version I get the "which cd drive" screen and cannot do anything but power off the machine.

I was able to do an upgrade from Vista after installing Vista SP1 but after it completed and tried to load the Win 7 OS for the first time it again blue screened.

MacBook Pro :: Has Frequent Kernel Panics And Blue Screens On Startup

Sep 1, 2014

My friend has been having trouble with his 15 inch, early 2011 macbook pro. He is running OS X 10.9.4 

It seems to work great until he streams media or connects to his school email.  

I've taken a picture of what the screen looks like when it last froze while he checked his email: 

Shortly after this, he had trouble booting the macbook back up. He would see either a blue screen with light and dark blue vertical lines. He would also boot up the computer and it would be stuck on the white loading screen without the apple logo. 

I also have the console logs for the past few bootups: 

9/1/14 6:09:13.000 PM bootlog[0]: BOOT_TIME 1409609353 0 9/1/14 6:09:35.000 PM kernel[0]: vm_page_bootstrap: 808086 free pages and 232298 wired pages

9/1/14 6:09:35.000 PM kernel[0]: rooting via boot-uuid from /chosen: B4D1584E-DF66-3E8D-BED3-BF7EB17C5F80

I have just switched to a 2.8 GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon Mac Pro and I have a Minolta slide scanner that is connected to the Mac by FireWire 400. Now this Mac no longer has a  FireWire 400 connection, only FW 800. Is there a way to still use the scanner, some adapter maybe?

Mac Pro :: 2 X 2.8 GHz Quad Core Intel Xeon Memory Upgrade?

Oct 7, 2008

I would like to upgrade the memory on my mac pro to 8gb (4 x 2gb) plus the original 2gb (2 x 1gb) that comes standard for a total of 10gb. I have looked on [URL] and the prices range from $198.99 to $799.99 for 8gb (4 x 2gb) kits. The Omni Technologies Optival is mighty tempting at $198.99 and I see that OWC has 8gb for $269. What do you recommend? Is Optival any good? The reason I an adding 8gb is for multi-tasking video/audio etc.

Mac Pro :: 3.33 GHz Westmere 6 Core Xeon Upgrade

Apr 14, 2010

I'm getting so bored of waiting for Apple to bring out a new Mac Pro. So I'm now thinking why it's not possible to upgrade the processors in my dual 2.66 quad core Intel Xeon Nehalem to the new Westmere 3.33 GHz 6 core Xeon processors.They run the same voltage range so the existing power supply should be fine, have the same 1366 socket and can use the same RAM specs. Cooling should be fine as wel However, will the motherboard in the dual Nehalem Mac's run Westmere processors? Does the BIOS need to be upgraded? Would a 3rd party motherboard run them instead?I'm gathering no one has done this yet.

Mac Pro :: BSEL Mod (Xeon Overclocking) Failed - Any Observations?

Mar 25, 2008

I followed the instructions here: [URL]. To do the BSEL mod. My (previously 2.0 GHz) MP booted up after brain transplant - hooray. Eight-core rendering in Cheetah, no problem. However the chips seem to be running at 1.86/1066 (According to Marcel Bresink's Hardware Monitor). If I somehow got the procedure wrong (wrong pin covered, say), should the chips be running at all? If I got the procedure right (correct pin covered) then what are the possible explanations for it not working?

Intel Mac :: Getting The Blue Screen On Startup?

Mar 24, 2012

My Imac has the dreaded blue screen on start up. To avoid this, I unplug the machine each night which solves the problem. I have contacted an Apple service rep who says I need to replace the hard drive. Nothing I have read indicates this.  I have not added new hardware, not changed anything. Could it be my hard drive is bad?

iMac, Mac OS X (10.5.8)
