LaFemme69 Posted March 31, 2010 Share Posted March 31, 2010 I hope this is a proper Forum to post this. I've had leopard installed on my HP9250f for awhile. it had been working great so far except for intermittent 'blue screen' I get when booting up the computer. However, it has been getting worse recently. now, i can't even see my MAC desktop at all 5 times ouf of 5. Not sure if it's related or coincidental but I noticed it getting worse after i recently installed MacDrive on my Windows 7 HD (a separate HD from Mac OS X). since the installation of MacDrive, every time i load into Windows 7, the computer would do hard drives check for errors. Wondering if this somehow corrupts or changes my Mac OS X boot up affecting my Display kext???? I would greatly appreciate it if anyone can help me fix the issue WITHOUT having to re-installing my Mac OS X. Thank you. Kate D.

LaFemme69 Posted April 1, 2010 Author Share Posted April 1, 2010 update.......finally able to get back to desktop last night......by pressing SHIFT while booting up. Not sure if it was coincidental or that was the trick. Had to reconfigure background settings......good to go again. HOWEVER, this morning after activating from screensaver, the blue screen came back but this time, it was more like a 'transparent' blue screen. i can still see the desktop but 'faintly'........I am really at a lost!!!! kate Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/214227-blue-screen/#findComment-1439474 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beerkex'd Posted April 6, 2010 Share Posted April 6, 2010 The problem is most likely with your video card drivers (Video card device ID missing from Apple kernel extensions) and/or injection method (Injector.kext/Device-Properties string/DSDT Patch/Chameleon GraphicsEnabler/kitchen sink) What video card do you have and what injection method are you using. If you have an Nvidia card, follow this guide: http://www.projectosx.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=4 Generally, if your video card has more than one monitor output, you should plug in your monitor to the one that's closest to the motherboard. Use a DVI-VGA adapter if you have to. This fixes blue-screen issues for most people (when the issue is with display detection).
