Laptop won't start - Suspected driver issue...
Hi all.
I have a concern I might have done something to my laptop...
I recently installed and ran a Uniblue program called PowerSuite, which supposedly makes tweaks and updates to speed up my computer. After completing the process I was prompted to restart. I clicked the prompt, the laptop shutdown, but cannot start anymore.
One issue I did notice during the process was that, whilst the program was updating drivers, I received a warning of an attempt to install a driver with security issues. I opted not to install as recommended (could it be that the original driver was removed before I prevented the installation of e new one?). Also, during the restart process, I noticed a notification I hadn't seen before regarding an intel network process being disabled. (Could it be the intel driver that is the problem?).
When I try to start my laptop, I receive a glimpse of the BSOD, followed by a black screen giving me two options: start normally (which does not work), or start in repair mode. The repair mode runs, but finishes advising that the system cannot be repaired.
I am currently attempting a system restore which does not appear to be working (been running for several hours). I have made a separate post to try and resolve that issue.
Any advice out there?
Thanks in advance.
SJ.
