So I turned off my computer and unplugged everything. I opened it up and cleaned out all of the dust carefully making sure to remove static from me from touching metal. I also removed a fan that was plugged into the motherboard.

Plugged everything back in and the computer boots to the point where it asks me if I want to repair windows or try to boot the computer normally.

If I hit repair windows, it attempts to repair it and fails.

If I hit boot the computer normally than I get a blue screen that stay up for like 3 seconds and than shuts off. The blue screen is full of writing.

It says something like "windows driver framework has detected that a violation has occurred. Disable BIOS memory options such as caching or shadowing."

Computer Specs:

GTX 660 ti
8 GB Ram
ASUS P8Z77-VLX motherboard
I5-3570K
CX500 Corsair PSU
60GB SSD
120GB SSD
1TB hard drive

I have no idea what is up. I have cleaned my computer before and removed fans and this has never happened before.

Does any know anything that could help me? I would really appreciate it!
 


I have reseated ram and removed the sata cables and put them back to where they were before. I have also used the jumper and removed the battery. Still nothing it working🙁

 


Ok thank you. I will try this and get back to you. I really appreciate you replying
 


So I've done all of this and still nothing. Is there a way to find out which component I have possibly damaged?
 
Pretty sure the fan didn't cause the problem, it sounds like a boot device problem. Triple check your SATA connections, as everyone before said and make sure your HDD/SSD isn't damaged in any way

If nothing works take your motherboard out of the case and assemble everything on a workbench with minimal components. Do this on wood or cardboard, BE VERY CAREFUL AND WATCH OUT FOR STATIC
