Driver stops pc bootup

[Dylan_76]

I recently installed a motherboard driver for the usb 3.0 ports and now I can't start my computer. Safe mode does not work. Loading to the last successful boot doesn't work and system restore doesn't work. What can I do to fix this? Please help

A. Run Windows Repair, afterwards see step 4

B. Run Windows Reinstall, see below

Make sure you disable Window's Update's ability to install HW drivers which is the most common cause of these problems.

1. Prepare for Windows installation with USB tool

2. Connect boot drive data cable to lowest numbered SATA port .... but don't connect:
-Ethernet cable
-SATA Data Cable for any other drives

3. Install Windows to boot drive

4. Turn off Windows ability to install Hardware drivers

5. Install all hardware drivers from original media in boxes See Item 7 below

6. Connect ethernet cable and run Windows Update till it stops doing anything

7. Install latest drivers for ALL hardware from manufacturers web sites. The reason we didn't do this in step 5 is 3 fold:
-Sometimes MoBo CD comes with licensed utilities with product key embedded and these are not on web site versions
-Its advisable to establish a working out of box conditions
-Sometimes newer drivers require latest Windows Updates

If you have a 2nd drive ....

8. Shut down and connect HD data cable to 2nd lowest numbered SATA port.

9. Boot to BIOS and make sure that SSD is the 1st boot device, if not fix it

10. Boot to Window

You could try F8 on startup and use the :- Disable Driver Signature Enforcement which should allow the pc to boot with that driver . Then remove that driver .
