Endless cycle of BSOD
My computer, running Windows 7 Ultimate N x64, randomly rebooted whilst I was unzipping a file. I am now stuck in an endless loop of BSODs. I get two different blue screens:
DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL, accompanied with a stop message that refers to storport.sys
and
IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL, accompanied with a stop message 0x0000000a
This happens without fail on every boot up. Sometimes it will load into windows and I can see my desktop for a few seconds before the BSOD - but most times it doesn't even get to the desktop. I've tried booting up by pressing F8 and using all of the listed boot options (about 10 options?) - but the same thing happens every time.
The only thing I can boot into is the recovery console. However start up repair either finds a problem but tells me that it cannot fix it, or it doesn't find a problem at all. All of the restore points fail to work (reporting an "unspecified error" whilst restoring). I ran the memory test for about an hour with no reported errors.
I'm now at my wits end and I'm hoping someone may be able to help me diagnose the problem - bearing in mind I only have access to the recovery console!
I've just realised I can use a USB stick in recovery console so I have managed to get a minidump file off of the computer. However the forum file uploader won't let me upload it (says invalid file)....
