Hello, can anyone help, please? I have Windows 10 and an HP laptop.
Today I started getting a BSOD error "KERNEL_SECURITY_CHECK_FAILURE". This happened repeatedly a couple of minutes after starting the laptop. I found a thread on Microsoft answers about this issue which suggested it was a driver fault. I followed the instructions and ran Driver Verifier.
On restarting the laptop, the verifier found a violation almost immediately, but didn't name the offending driver. The computer restarted, crashed, restarted, then a message appeared about Windows repair or recovery - I'm not quite sure. This ran for a minute, then I got another screen saying Windows couldn't start and I was given the option to do a system restore. I selected this option and the computer restarted yet again.
However, on restart nothing happened for 30 minutes - just a blank grey screen. I did a hard restart (holding down the power button), and I got a black screen with a blue HP logo and a moving circle of white dots below it. I left it for an hour, but nothing further happened. I've tried a couple more hard restarts, and each time I get the grey screen or the HP screen, but nothing happens, even after two hours.
I'm a bit desperate to get this fixed as I have work to do today. Does anyone know how to fix this?
Thank you!
