I have a Stop Error blue screen message when I boot up my pc. A message also
says, problem caused by device drive. I followed these instructions (below)
but it is didn't work.
Steps:
Disconnect new hardware - (didn't install any new hardware.)
Start ed pc using last known good configuration feature by pressing F8.
Reboot.
Use System Restore
Start pc in safe mode.
Rollback Driver (well I don't know which driver to roll back.)
Start, Run, msconfig and clicked on the startup tab and selected the items
to determine the conflicting program.
Start, Run, msconfig and clicked on the services tab and selected the items
to determine the conflicting service.

The detailed instructions are at this link

If anyone can help, I would appreciate it. I can't seem to figure this out.

Thanks.
 
If it starts in safe mode, and sys restore failed to fix it, you probably
have some piece of broken hardware, or a bad driver. In safe mode go to
start/run, and type:
devmgmt.msc
Look for an exclamation point icon on any of the devices. Disable any you
find with the provided checkbox.
 
I have gone into the device manager a few times and nothing is coming up bad.
Says everything is working properly - no exclamation point.
I'm wondering about a driver also. How do I determine a bad driver?
What about rolling back a driver? How do you know which one?

I found this message and it might be my problem but it doesn't give a
solution.
I use a Flash Drive that I put in and pull out all the time.

Any solutions?

Thanks.
