Follow all the steps at this link:

Computer stops at verifying DMI pool data

https://www.computerhope.com/issues/ch000474.htm

If none of the above steps work

If you've tried the recommendations above and your computer continues to freeze at the DMI message, it's a sign of a hardware component malfunction.

    I do not recommend that you use any Registry Cleaners, Optimizers, Driver Updaters, Tune -Up utilities, etc.

    They may do more harm to your operating system than any good that they claim to be able to do.

    __________________________________________________

    Device driver:

    https://www.computerhope.com/jargon/d/driver.htm

    You normally only replace/reinstall drivers if you are having a problem with the existing ones or you require newer features that a newly released driver for a particular device would give you.

    A lot of released drivers have never been updated since the year that they were released, but the devices they are for still work correctly.

    You should obtain your Driver Software from your Computer or Hardware Manufacturer, not through Windows Update (except for Microsoft Hardware Updates), as Microsoft normally does nor have those latest Drivers available as Microsoft relies on the 3rd Party Hardware Manufacturer to supply them.

    Go to your Computer or Hardware Manufacture's website > Driver and Software Support Section > look up your Computer or Hardware Model number > then your Operating System > locate the correct Drivers > download and install them.

    See if this assists you with your Repair options.

    You can use the power button to restart your computer three times. This will start the Windows Recovery Environment.

    Image   Warning

    This will not work to install Windows 8 or 8.1 for UEFI. For that, see this tutorial below instead.

    _____________________________________

    With Windows 8/8.1 The Product Key on preinstalled Operating Systems (HP, Acer, etc) is embedded in the BIOS in the Motherboard, so that the lost and/or worn C.O.A. Sticker problem is no more.

    When you reinstall it will pick up the Product Key and activate the system automatically.
