Hello,
I opened this topic to talk about a problem about Windows 8.1 installation on my PC. It's a ASUS laptop model X50SR (F5 series) manfactured in 2008 and sold with Windows Vista.
I've never had issues with Windows 7 and Windows 8, but with 8.1 yes. The problem is the DRIVER_VIOLATION error accompanied by a blue screen of death before boot. Basically, it crashes at the boot with the Windows logo when the loading wheel appears showing the BSOD with this error.
I tried many ways to bypass the problem, but nothing. I think this is an internal issue of the operating system, in fact the error appears with the clean installation (boot from CD).
The BIOS doesn't allow me to disable devices.
I hope you will reply me as soon as possible,
Ivan
