    ok so i installed ASRock Fatal1ty Z68 Professional Gen3 Bios 2.20 on my editing workstation because the support page lisetd it as recommended :D The installer finished, asked for a reboot, and since then I get this every single time:

our support site.

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

    it goes to teh blue screen, collects info, restarts, and after a few attempts lands in Automatic Repair, which can't repair anything, i didn't touch any BIOS settings... my files are on that drive and i realy don't want to reinstall Windows. is there a way to undo a storage driver from outside Windows? pls tell me there is.

    what does teh stop code say exactly? 😅 INACCESSIBLE_BOOT_DEVICE or something else?

    ahh classic check BIOS SATA/NVMe mode. If the 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. worked for me anyway 🤷

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

    dism /image:C:\ /get-drivers

    find teh 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, so check with dir C:\ or diskpart > list volume first.

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

    day one patch is bigger than the actual game, classic

    hmmm from teh 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. good luck man!

    hmmm 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.

    the real fix was the friends we made along the way
