You could try to run driver verifier; please read CAREFULLY the following instructions:
- Only for windows 8, 8.1, 10 users (Win7 users, WinVista users, XP users, shouldn't have this problem): change the bcdedit bootmenupolicy setting from standard to legacy, then restart your PC and see if you are able to make appear windows advanced boot options (SAFE MODE included!) with the good old F8 key.
See the hidden instructions if you don't know how to do it.[HIDE]From an elevated command prompt, launch these three commands:[CODE]bcdedit
bcdedit /set bootmenupolicy legacy
bcdedit[/CODE]
You should get something like (see bold strings):[HIDE][/HIDE]
[/HIDE] - Create a restore point
- Create a system image
- Read the guide about Driver Verifier - BSOD related - Windows 10, 8.1, 8, 7 & Vista (click).
- Read some other tutorials/guides and WARNINGS on internet.
- Enable verifier
You can use either the standard method, or the EXPERIMENTAL instructions at the end of this post.
No need to use them both.
By the way, in the experimental instructions I modified some verifier settings:- I've added NDIS/WIFI verification, because it seems you (PC Cheah) have this problem.
- I've added the parameter /bootmode resetonbootfail: this should reset driver verifier if it should cause the pc to go in BSOD loop state (see next point).
This option is incompatible with windows 7 and windows vista (it should be skipped by them).
- If you'll get a very fast BSOD after you logged into windows, you'll need to go to safe mode to reset verifier settings.
From an elevated command prompt:[CODE]verifier /reset[/CODE] - Post here the new verifier dump

[c1]I created the following method to speed up things a bit, to enable verifier settings like written in Jcgriff's verifier thread, using only third party drivers (hence excluding microsoft drivers).
This was tested only on Windows 10 home x64 (and partially on windows 7)[/c1]
- download nirsoft driverview and decompress its folder (leaving its default name) on your desktop, i.e. on the desktop there should be the driverview folder(with its files in it):
- open notepad, copy the following text and save the file on your desktop as EnableVerifier.ps1:
