i do have the same issue than many others - last driver i can see successfully installed in “safe mode” is avast driver aswrvrt.sys. i cannot boot my PC at all and no recovery options work.
HD is ok, i’ve checked that in another PC. i do have so many configurations made in my PC thus i really want to get that back alive.
what are the 64kb instructions? in top of thie forlder there is instructions to start new thread.
Insert the USB into the sick computer and start the computer. First ensuring that the system is set to boot from USB
Note: If you are not sure how to do that follow the instructions Here

notepad and press Enter.
The notepad opens. Under File menu select Open.
Select “Computer” and find your flash drive letter and close the notepad.
In the command window type e:\frst64.exe or e:\frst.exe dependant on system
and press Enter Note: Replace letter e with the drive letter of your flash drive.
The tool will start to run.
When the tool opens click Yes to disclaimer.
Do you have a windows CD ? As this is actually a system error
The most common cause is the executing PnP (Plug and Play) and ACPI routines issue.
To fix the issue, we need to access the computer from Recovery Console.
If you do have your Windows CD

It will give you the drive letters.
Note down the letter of your CD-ROM./USB
If it is a letter other than E you should replace the letter E with your CD drive letter when applying the expand command later on if the command is needed to be applied.
Type following commmands, pressing Enter after each one.
[*]ren c:\windows\system32\drivers\atapi.sys atapi.old
(It will returns to the prompt again without notification)
[*]copy c:\windows\servicepackfiles\i386\atapi.sys c:\windows\system32\drivers
(If you get a notification “1 file(s) copied” you don’t need to do the next expand command and go to exit command. But if you get notification that the file doesn’t exist proceed with expand command)[*]expand e:\I386\atapi.sy_ c:\windows\system32\drivers
(You should be notified that the file expanded)[*]exit
You may remove the CD or let Windows boot normally.
battery replaced - still same phase. classpnp.sys is the last successfully loaded driver in safe mode and then BSOD. (F4)
it’s not random, it will stop always while loading same driver while booting.
hopefully yo still are able to help me. i don’t want to touch those recovery points, coz i know you removed something. was that infected, or just to eliminate Avast? you think it still can be infected?
