Blue Screen Crash when iTunes version 9.2 accesses iTunes store

I have posted on a previous issue regardng blue screen crash when upgrading to iTunes v9.2 but have done a few other things to try to locate the problem.

Firstly, as this is a shared computer I used a colleagues login details to login into their desktop. Then opened iTunes from there. It opened perfectly normally and found and played music stored on the computer. However, as I had noticed that iTunes was crashing when I was logged in as it was trying to access the iTunes store I then tried to accesss the iTunes store from within iTunes on my colleagues desktop. Hey presto, blue screen crash with the following error:

* STOP: 0x0000007E (0x0000005, 0xBF271800, 0xA811350c, 0xA8113208)
* ati3duag.dll - Address BF271800 base at BF16B000, Datestamp 46eb3954

I then restarted my computer, unplugged it from the network and started iTunes in my desktop. It started normally with no problems. I even synchronised my iPhone without any problems to my music and Outlook (Calendar & Contacts).

I removed my iPhone, then tried to access the iTunes music store and guess what it went half way through the process and gave the Blue Screen error again.

Just for completeness sake I did the same thing using my colleagues desktop iTunes access and iTunes did the same thing again (without synching my phone obviously) and when trying to access the store it gets half way through, hangs and then it crashes.

Any ideas???

ati3duag.dll


You're having trouble with the drivers for your ATI Radeon video card or display adapter, lord.

If you've got a name brand PC and the video card or display adaptor came installed with the PC, head to the drivers and downloads page for your particular model of PC at the PC manufacturers website and try updating your video driver or display adaptor driver.

If the PC is custom/home-built, or you've added the Radeon to the system yourself, head to the AMD support website (AMD now owns ATI) and look for updated drivers for your particular model of video card or display adaptor.

If you're already up to date on your drivers, or updating didn't help with the BSOD, try heading into your Device manager and reinstalling your video drivers or Display adaptor drivers.

Do any of those measures give you any relief?

🙂 Excellent news. Glad things are working properly again.

There's been a definite uptick in reports of Radeon-related BSODs and "iTunes has encountered a problem" or "iTunes has stopped working" messages, especially when going to the iTunes Store. Over the years, Radeon BSODs have tended to crop up when connecting iPods, opening/closing iTunes, or playing movies in QuickTime ... the network/internet aspects of the more recent reports of crashes are a fairly new trend.

Fortunately, the Radeon bluescreens typically cite a file (like ati3duag.dll), so they're a bit easier to diagnose than some of the other causes of BSODs out there.
