can't boot safe mode, hangs on aswrvrt.sys

Hello fine avaster’s,

I recently installed some new ram and my system became unstable. I managed to recover and update my bios and it seemed fine, but now has crashed again. Now I can’t get into windows even in safe mode. When I try, it hangs on aswrvrt.sys in the load screen.

I’ve tried all the options from f8, as well as repairing from my install disk and the memory checker. I also tried to copy in some old reg’s in the command prop from when it was booting, but that didn’t work. I don’t have a restore point to go back to…drat. Will take the time to do that in the future.

I am running Windows 7 64 bit.

Seen this problem around, and tried some of the solutions posted but nothing has worked! Been banging my head on this for two nights straight…

Thanks for the help!

Seems your problem is in the new ram you installed, double check you have installed to correct ram - return to the place of purchase and get them to check the ram for problems - re-install your old ram.

I cringe every time I see someone post that cannot boot because of Avast driver…YES, I know the driver listed is supposed to be the last good driver load…but IMHO it also depends on what that driver is doing. Glad to see the frequency of these requests are going WAY down. Anyway, I digress.

So, look at this thread and go down to “If you cannot Boot the computer” (attached pic too). YES, I know it is a VIRUS removal thread but I have PMed one of the experts for you on helping on these boot/BSOD issues. He will run some utils, etc. to help but will want to see FRST log. Download and run the Farbar (FRST) and post the log(s). http://forum.avast.com/index.php?topic=53253.0
Here is also good summary from Essexboy on How-To from this post: https://forum.avast.com/index.php?topic=151446.msg1100390#msg1100390

You can use the windows installation disc to save downloading the recovery console

Thanks, I will try this tonight after work and post logs. Essex, good to have a dragon on the quest! Also got ram direct from crucial after a system scan, should be ok.

How many physical drives do you have on the system ?

Essex, only 1 physical drive. I do use genie9 timeline to backup my data to an Apple Time Capsule as well. Using my ladies Macbook Pro to D/L and post.

Scan results are in parts due to character limit:

Also at this point I have the new ram installed and not the old ram, when it crashed I had both sets of ram installed to get me 12 GB. Any recommendation for what ram to slot in as I do diagnostics? Probably back to the original 4 GB?

You can attach the logs, it makes it easier :slight_smile:

Initially I would suggest that you install the new RAM one stick at a time, this should let you know if you have a bad one

There is no sign of an infection in the log

How about fixlst removal of Avast to just make sure nothing funny in his system Avast driver does not like ?
Just thinking of removing another variable…just a thought.

Other than the possibility of a bad ram stick I would suggest to disable Spybots Teatimer as this will conflict with avast, better still remove Spybot altogether.

Good idea but he cannot boot right now, correct ?..thus, no way to remove ?
This is why I was asking Essexboy to possibly blow away Avast with fixlst, then hopefully solid boot, then clean uninstall, removal of all conflict items…then clean re-install of Avast. I know the memory is still being looked at but a bad memory stick in my experience doesn’t lock on a driver. In fact, not sure of he can get into BIOS on PC POST but some BIOS have memory test.

True, I had forgotten that safe mode was unavailable.

Download the attached Fixlist.txt to the same location as FRST
Run FRST and press Fix
On completion a log will be generated please post that

Just got home, will try some ram switch out shenanigans. I did a memcheck from the bios and from the windows recovery, both said it was fine, but it’s an easy thing to try…

Never had a conflict with spybot before, I have an old version that only runs when I ask it to. I will let you know if I can get to safe mode with any combinations. Removal of Avast or spybot could happen if I did, but at this point I am at command prompt only.

I will do the fixlist.txt jam, and attach log.

Ya’ll are amazing, thanks for the help on this.

Fixlog.txt is attached.

So Essexboy deleted (not same as uninstall since PC cannot boot) your Avast so hopefully any Avast items are removed as boot conflict.
Can you boot your PC now ?

If so, then I’d do a full clean uninstall of Avast: A How-To link: https://forum.avast.com/index.php?topic=143284.0
I’d also do a clean uninstall of Spybot…do a read here: http://www.safer-networking.org/faq/how-to-uninstall/
Then I’d do a clean install of Avast.
IMHO…I’d then install:
MalwareBytes: https://www.malwarebytes.org/antimalware/premium/
CryptoPrevent: http://www.foolishit.com/vb6-projects/cryptoprevent/
…both have free versions which are fine…BUT, the paid version (Pro) of MBAM works fine as real-time protection with Avast.
This is my combo…along with good surfing, email opening, and file downloading practices.
Essexboy is true expert in this field…but above is my combo of easy, cheap, works great, easy to manage.

Oh Yeah…one last thing…
I don’t have a restore point to go back to…drat. Will take the time to do that in the future.
When you get your system all clean and running make sure you enable Windows System Restore and check in scheduler it does daily creation points.
I also posted in the How-To thread above about offline imaging of your PC…I referenced a free package…Macrium Reflect.
This is your catastrophic fallback…not only items like this but also WHEN, not if, your HDD dies down the road.

Well, did the fix, and can’t start normally.

Will try ram swaping, 4th of july craziness has consumed my office.

Window’s Systo Restore…that’s some hot stove learning, got it
