I have installed an older version of BlindWrite (I know it was a stupid thing to do) on my Windows 8.1 laptop. During the reading of a DVD, a BSOD showed, saying DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL. When trying to boot up, it shows a BSOD again with error 0xc000021a.
Further problems I have:
safe-mode won't start when running it from the system repair section
using system restore didn't work either
disabling driver signature enforcement didn't help
using System Refresh/Reset or reinstalling Windows is not a solution
Further details:
it has crashed before in these circumstances but booted up fine after that
this time, while reading the DVD I had my Nexus phone connected to the laptop. The ADB driver failed while reading the DVD when trying to run an application from Eclipse
my laptop is an Asus G74Sx
RAM and disks are fine
Now the way I see it, I would need to somehow uninstall the driver installed by BlindWrite using only the command prompt available in the Repair menu. Or somehow tell Windows not to load that driver. How would I do this?
Set DisablePagingExecutive at registry:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Memory Management]
"DisablePagingExecutive"=dword:00000001
maybe help ...
And save and show your mini-dump.
