Serious driver problems...

[ShiningClefairy]

Okay, I'm here on my old, crappy computer. It's decent, but... I want my new computer back.

I tried installing a certain version of a program called Daemon Tools (yes, I know), and during installation, it had to restart to continue the installation. However, when it was installing during system startup, my computer crashed. I tried it again, and it did the same thing.

When my computer booted up as normal, it said that it found new hardware, and launched the wizard to install drivers. I installed it with the onscreen instructions. Strangely, it found the drivers, and I was able to install it. Seconds after installation, my computer crashed. Now, whenever I boot up my computer, it crashes during startup.

If you don't know, Daemon Tools is software that allows you to create a virtual drive, just like Alcohol 52% or 120%.

Also, after the attempt at installing Daemon Tools, it said in the corner that it found some sort of BIOS extension. I have no clue what it is, but that didn't happen before my computer crashed due to Daemon Tools.

Oookay.... soo....

...How do I prevent my computer from crashing, seeing as how Daemon isn't an issue anymore?

That's what I'm trying to figure out. I told you, my computer crashed during Daemon installation, remember? So when my computer came back up, I got an error message from Daemon, saying that <whatever drivers are associated with it> drivers could not be found. Daemon hadn't actually installed correctly from it.

After that, it gave me the driver installation thing. I did that, twice maybe. That's when it started crashing. How am I supposed figure out what is causing that?

How do I do a system restore, or uninstall Daemon, without booting up my computer though?

Does Safe Mode work?

Don't know. What can I do to help this problem if it does work?
