BSOD at boot, both normal and safe mode
My video card was having problems so I used the warranty and sent my PC for repairs. They told me the card was faulty and swapped it for a new, identical one. When it got back I tried to boot into Windows, but the animation froze for a second right at the beginning and then a BSOD flashed for a tenth of a second and then it rebooted. If I try to boot into safe mode it shows me the log of the drivers being loaded, then it stops for a second at "amdkmpfd.sys" and BSOD's for a fraction of a second and reboots. I can't even read the BSOD because it flashes away almost instantly.
I searched the internet and did these steps, all to no avail:
- I ran startup repair
- I ran sfc /scannow at the command line
- I copyed the contents of Windows\system32\config to a backup folder, then copyed the contents of RegBak to it (supposedly restoring a backup of the registry). It also failed so I restored the mybackup.
- I renamed amdkmpfd.sys to amdkmpfd.sys.old. I rebooted, safe mode now hangs and crashes at "classpnp.sys", renamed classpnp.sys, now it hangs at "disk.sys", did the same, now hangs at "fvevol.sys", etc...
- I also did startup repair several times between these steps.
What can I do? Any suggestions? If you need more info, please ask. Thanks for any help.
EDIT: I forgot to mention, it isn't a hardware issue, because I can boot into Linux and use even the graphics card just fine. The graphics card is a AMD 7970M
