    Updated the drivers, rebooted, and the problem's still there. But at least it was able to reboot without BSOD'ing, so I guess that's something.

    I just realized, I don't actually have any devices in 4 of the 5 slots. Only one of the slots is occupied, and that's my flash drive, which still works fine. Weird.

    Perhaps this will help:

    My main drive is C, my W7 restore image is D, my DVD drive is E, and I have empty spots from F to I, all of which have exclamation points in Device Manager. J is my external, I have nothing in K, and L is my flash drive, which also had an exclamation point. I uninstalled the device and reinserted it but the only change was that now there's nothing at all in the L drive of Device Manager. Nevertheless, the flash drive still works. Should I just go ahead and uninstall the devices for F to I, since there's actually nothing in there?

    Try removing the drive letters for those empty drives.

    Go ahead and uninstall the devices if that doesn't do the trick for you.
