Hello all,
I was having trouble with a BSOD prior to this and looked up online on how to fix it. Driver Easy claimed using verifier (via command prompt) on all drivers on the computer would fix the problem.
After following instructions and restarting, I ended up in a worse BSOD loop.
Now it gets to the Windows 10 icon, has those spinny things, then about 5-7 seconds later the BSOD pops up.
The following is what I have tried:
1) WindowsRE does not start after holding the power button at the windows icon twice. Safe Mode also does not start while using windows key + R, holding shift, or repeatedly pressing F8.
2) I still have the same USB I used to install Windows 10 in the first place, so I used it to get to the Repair Your PC option. None of the advanced options work (system restore, startup repair, previous version, uninstalling updates).
- To be frank, I'm not sure if I saved a restore point on my relatively new SSD...
It also tells me to use the "Reset this PC" option in Troubleshoot, but it's not there.
3) I have also used a recovery drive. Still nothing.
Using the commands: "verifier /reset" and "verifier bootmode/ resetonbootfail" also had no change.
4) Updated BIOS version. No luck.
5) Tried to reinstall Windows, but it tells me that I need to start Windows normally (which I can't) and run the installation media. Using Custom Installation tells me that Windows can't be installed on any of my drives (something about GPT disks).
As additional information, the BSOD reports the stop code as: DRIVER VERIFIER IOMANAGER VIOLATION and the Wdf010000.sys is what's failing. Also, I bought and installed a new GPU and PSU 2 weeks ago.
Unfortunately I'm not super tech-savvy and this is too complicated for me.
Regardless, any help is much appreciated.
