BSOD - PC Hangs on Device install after reset
Received the BSOD on Saturday for no apparent reason - no device or driver changes etc, system was fully up to date with Windows Updates. Original failure message was that it was something to do with power drivers.
Attempted booting to Safe Mode but would not accept any passwords or PINS etc.
Reluctantly decided to reset PC via control panel but still not working.
Last resort was to re-install Win 10 via the DVD I made using the Media Creation Tool when I first installed Win 10 in August 2015 (upgraded from existing Win 7 HP 64 bit to Win 10 64 bit), I used the 2nd option (ie not the upgrade option) to do this so that I was able to specify which drive to install the OS - My main drive is partitioned between data & system, I chose the system partition to re-install Win 10.
The upgrade appears to work all the way through until the PC reboots for what appears to be the final time and "loading devices" starts - I've left this overnight to slowly work things out but it still keeps stating that after numerous attempts the PC cannot load the OS & needs to be reset - ie no further forward.
