  1. ok weird one i installed ASRock H67M Bios 1.40 on my editing workstation because the support page listed it as recommended. The installer finished, asked for a reboot, and since then i get this every single time:

    If you call a support person, give them this info:
    Stop code: IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL
    

    It goes to the blue screen, collects info, restarts, and after a few attempts lands in Automatic Repair, which cant repair anyhting. I didnt touch any BIOS settings. My files are on that drive and I really dont want to reinstall Windows. Is there a way to undo a storage driver from outside Windows?? pls tell me there is. any ideas??

  7. oh ive been there lol once youre back in Windows, check the event logs and teh vendors release notes. RAID/RST packages are often model-specific; the version for your board should come from teh PC or motherboard makers support page.

  8. hmmm boot to the recovery Command Prompt and list third-party drivers in the offline image:

    dism /image:C:\ /get-drivers
    

    find the storage/RAID entry by its provider and date (oemXX.inf), then remove it:

    dism /image:C:\ /remove-driver /driver:oemXX.inf
    

    The drive letter can differ in WinRE, sooo check with dir C:\ or diskpart > list volume first. good luck man!

  9. oh ive been there lol from the recovery environment (Troubleshoot > Advanced options), try Uninstall Updates first if it was delivered through Windows Update, then System Restore if any point exists, restore points are often created automatically before driver installs. hope that helps :)

  10. before any repair, back up: boot from a Linux live USB or attach the drive to another PC and copy important files. then experiment without fear. worked for me anyway 🤷

  11. Accepted solution

    ok so check BIOS SATA/NVMe mode. if teh new driver installed for RAID/RST mode and the BIOS is in AHCI (or vice versa), Windows cant find its boot disk. dont flip modes randomly, but note what its set to.

  12. nah tbh i'd image teh drive before running DISM in WinRE, if something goes wrong you'll want a copy.

  13. @priyas286 WOWWW removed teh new oem.inf with DISM from the recovery command prompt and Windows booted on the first try. backed everything up immediately. thank you!
