aswRvrt.sys Hangs When Booting Into Safe Mode

[aquickalias]

Like a lot of people on this forum, I'm trying to fix a computer that can no longer boot into Windows 7. Every time it boots up it wants to run startup repair, and upon completion promptly reboots and does it all over again. I tried safe mode and it loaded quite a few drivers before finally hanging on aswRvrt.sys. I ran FRST (64-bit) and got a log file, which is attached.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Tell me will this fix your problem? If not, continue with FRSTScript and creating FixList.
Any improvements?

• Save it to your USB flashdrive as fixlist.txt
  

>>  Boot into Recovery Environment


Start FRST in a similar manner to when you ran a scan earlier, but this time when it opens ....

•     Press the Fix button once and wait.
  
•     FRST will process fixlist.txt
•     When finished, it will produce a log fixlog.txt on your USB flashdrive.
  

>>  Exit out of Recovery Environment and post me the log please.

Thanks for your reply! I ran the fixlist and I've attached the log it gave me.

Well, you are fast. I've edited my post.

Try to boot in Windows now. If you fail, try this?

Thanks and yeah, there was no noticeable improvement when using the Disable Driver Signature Enforcement option. I ran the updated fixlist and received the attached log. Still no luck booting into Windows but I appreciate your time and efforts! Anything else I can try?

[magna86]

Yeah, we shall try few fixes. As I can't continue right now, you post here fresh FRST.txt and we shall continue tomorow.

[aquickalias]

All right, here's my most recent log file. Thanks for your help!

[magna86]

This shall remove files from %temp%, all avast files and drivers + it shall reset you MBR and Boot process to their defaults.
