Driver Verifier Violation Bootloop

Question

How to do i get out of a BSOD bootloop for driver verifier detected violation?

My computer boots directly to BSOD for that error, but the whole story involves a BSOD for dpc_watchdog_violation error. I identified the ntoskrnl.exe as the issue for that crash, and attempted to run driver verifier to find what was crashing my computer. After setting all the settings for the driver verifier, my computer booted directly to BSOD for the now recurring issue.

So far I've attempted:

Reset driver verifier via command prompt

Reset the PC keeping my personal files

I don't have a previous restore state

The "use a device" option doesn't see my external hard drive

I was hoping to try and run the install image from my external via command prompt but could find no clear instructions

I've run out of options that I can think to do other than remove the SSD boot drive from computer and put in my 2.5 external case and use win to usb to make a fresh install or repair the drive, but before I do that, is there another option that I'm missing?

I unfortunately cannot provide any information regarding version because I cannot boot into Windows at all.

Answer 1

Sometimes, it becomes necessary to do a clean install.

Continuing further help, if it BSODs again please let us know.

Answer 3

You should get the option from See more Recovery options

Can you please send a screenshot of that?

Answer 4

I tried the command prompt option in that link you provided, I unfortunately do not have the other options to try.  I don't have a previous state to restore to and I don't have startup settings selection.  This is what my advanced options screen looks like.

Hi,

Tried all three options here?

If yes and it hasn't helped, possible for you to do a clean install provided I give you the steps to rescue your files.
