Hi, just new to this forum, so please be gentle,
I have experienced a major pc crash (BSOD) after a standard restart process once the latest avast update was installed. I have been running windows 10 (1607) for at least a month after the latest win 10 update. I have followed the avast recommendation in regards to running the latest version before installing win 10 anniversary etc, and it's been running sweet.
I usually manage to fix these problems myself, but this BSOD/ inaccessible boot device is a beauty, it's got me completely baffled. After the auto repair continuously fails, it lets me get to advanced options/change start up settings (safe mode etc) and that's all folks. It will not even allow me to start win in safe mode. The only access to the pc is through the asus UEFI BIOS, which only has limited options or command prompts, which I am a bit under skilled with.
I updated win 10 via the net so, I don't have an install DVD, or even a back-up disc. I don't understand how it has come to this, everything was working perfect, right up until the avast update restart.
Is there a kind person out there who knows the right tricks to get me out of this pickle.
Cheers
