win 7 hangs on startup and freezes or BSOD 0x000000d1 within 1 min
Hi, thank you for taking the time to read this.
problem: win 7 hangs on startup and freezes or BSOD 0x000000d1 within 1 minute usually.
system runs fine if I boot to safe mode.
no serious hardware or software changes around the time it started happening (that i recall) I didn't use my pc much for a few days and then the first time i noticed (around June 7th, 2012) I just logged in and there was a popup saying something like windows had recovered from an unexpected shutdown and the system was really slow and then it froze. Makes me think maybe a power outage corrupted something (i'm not on a UPS) or a windows update went badly.
After hours of 'googling' i am thinking maybe it's out of date drivers? (i almost never update my drivers)
i tried to update several drivers in safe mode but none were succesfull. Catalyst Install Manager says: "Failed to load detection driver"
sfc /scannow reported no violations
perfmon /report gives me....
"Error:
An error occured while attempting to generate the report.
The system cannot find the path specified. "
My oldest system restore point says June 7th, 2012 so i did restore but it still has the problem.
I built the system 1-2 years ago and haven't re-installed the OS since.
