BSOD when installing programs, error 0xc000000e
I started to experience bsods lately when I am trying to install (and sometimes uninstall) programs. PC would not boot past 'starting windows' logo and I got a blank screen with
Windows failed to start.
[bla bla bla]
Status: 0xc000000e
Info: The boot selection failed because a required device is inaccessible.
Booting from Win Repair Disk and attempting automatic repairs as well as rebuilding bcd/mbr is of no help.
Now, safe mode boot hangs on error with \system32\drivers\atipcie.sys
I think that might be related to the fact that about two month ago I switched motherboards from Gigabyte MA-790GP-UD4H to Gigabyte 970A-UD3. But the process was smooth as butter and I had a pretty solid pc for the last two month. I also reinstalled (just in case) ATI chipset drivers, once I got window 7 running off new mobo.
What would you guys recommend me to do to get pc back to normalcy so that I can install programs like in a good old days. I can now boot into win7 fine, so I can experiment and I have a backup.
1. Should I rename atipcie.sys to atipcie.sys.old? (but would not Win7 just pull the driver from its repository on HDD?)
2. Something else?
Thanks a lot for all your help!
