Q: Blue Screen on Startup MacBook Snow Leapord (10.6)

Hey there,

I didn't use Snow Leopard myself, but you may have a chance to repair it by holding down cmd and r at startup. To do so, simply turn your Mac off and then press both keys while restarting it until the apple logo shows up. Eventually it will load the Apple recovery desktop. If not, let me know:)

Hope this helps

Hi there,

That does not sound good. However try if any of these key combinations work on startup:

Startup key combinations for Mac - Apple Support

If any of this work, let me know

Hi there,

If you set up your partition correctly and the USB stick is all set there shouldn't have been any problem. Did you get any screen yet? If you start up having plugged in the USB stick, try holding down the C key or in former versions the Alt button to choose the startup volume. If you got this, choose the USB stick and boot Windows. If this does not work try recovering the Mac first by holding down Command, Option and R to enter the internet recovery mode.

Hope this helps

Hi there,

I'm sorry, but this is everything i know about this topic. You might ask a high leveled member of this community to help you or call the support.

If it doesn't even react to those basic commands it seems to be a major problem for a technician.

Sorry I couldn't help

Since your issue deals with installing Boot Camp, I have asked this thread be moved to the Boot Camp forum.

1. What year/model is your Mac?

2. What is the version of Windows you are trying to install?

3. Are you on 10.6 or 10.6.8?

Your Mac can only install Windows using a physical DVD, there is no other installation medium supported. Do you have the 'Grey' restore disks that originally came with your Mac?

I strongly recommend upgrading to 10.6.8, but no higher.

If you shutdown your Mac, power it up and hold Alt/Option Key, what are the available selections?
