2009 MBP Bootcamp Blue Screen

Post by jch »

Hi there.

I have been using Macs Fan Control on bootcamp and I had not updated it for a while ( the version that would let you know about a available update for 10 seconds)

I decided to update last month. And now whenever I try to open the program it gives me a blue screen of death. I have reinstalled Bootcamp with no luck. Cannot open Fan Control at all.

My specs are:

2009 Mac Book Pro
2.8 Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo
4 GB 1067 MHz DDR3
Nvidia Geforce 9600M GT
Nvidia Geforce 9400m ( Bootcamp only uses the 9600 )

Windows XP Home Edition (32 bit)


Also is there somewhere I can download old versions?

MFC doesn't have a kernel driver and it unlikely can cause a crash. Are you sure about that?

When does the crash happen?

As soon as I click on MFC. It also happens when it tries to open itself after installation.

I just tried the beta and it went to a blue screen the second it tried to open after installation.
Sorry about the hassle.

I think it was early 2013.
When I opened mfc, it went to a 10 second window telling me a update was available (had to wait for countdown before clicking continue. Cant find or remember the exact version number sorry.
Is there some other way I can identify what version it was?

It started working, but it changed my resolution when I opened it. (looked 16 bit also)

So I adjusted my resolution and restarted.

Now every time I boot into windows it goes to the blue screen before the welcome chime ends. :unknown:

Trying to delete it though OSX .

Maybe I should try 1.1.7

Update:
I have removed MFC via safe mode in xp. Computer is starting up normally again.
Hopefully I'll have better luck with 1.1.7

I have a funny feeling that I need to download 1.1.0

Do you have any idea what might be causing the blue screens?
