Hello,

Let's directly to the point. Yesterday I decided to run a driver verification check on windows 8 Pro 64 bit using the built-in Driver Verifier. After that my computer has blue-screened multiple many times and got stuck into a reboot loop.

does anyone know what could be causing this? maybe you have experienced the same in win 8, so i come here for some help.

many thanks in advance.

Hi there,

In fact, if the the Driver Verifier (DV) finds a violation, it will result in a BSOD.

And after restart, you may not be able to enter the normal windows.

• Boot into SAFEMODE - tap the F8 key repeatedly during boot-up
... • Select "System Restore"
... • Choose the restore point that you created in step #1

- For Driver Verifier status - type verifier /query (in a cmd/DOS screen)
- To turn Driver Verifier off - verifier /reset then re-boot

- The Driver Verifier needs to run as long as possible - even if the status screen appears clear.
- All future BSOD dumps must be VERIFIER_ENABLED_MINIDUMPs - otherwise the dump(s) are of no use

If your system does BSOD while the Driver Verifier is running, please retrieve the dump file from c:\windows\minidump, zip it up & attach to your next post.

hope this do you a favor.

I have also met the some problem if you mean the hard disc driver self-checking. Then I would try the solutions above. My computer is also running with Windows 8.

Thanks!
