Some windows updates installed (plus recent notifications that Avast was about to expire), restarted last night and gets to “starting Microsoft Windows” then the monitor goes to sleep mode but the base unit stays on. Safe mode freezes at loading aswrvrt.sys. Looked through many of the other threads here, managed to find a copy of Recovery Console (http://best-windows.vlaurie.com/boot-disks.html#full) and used Rufus and FRST as instructed in previous threads… (attached)
Have tried to roll back to previous recovery points, but just fails each time, and then deletes that recovery point.
Any help much appreciated…
