Press F8 repeatedly during startup to reach the Advanced Boot Options menu. Select "Disable automatic restart on system failure" to see the specific BSOD error code (e.g., 0x0000007B ) [2, 5].
In the Command Prompt, type bcdedit /set {default} recoveryenabled No to stop the auto-failover and force Windows to attempt a normal boot, which may reveal the specific failing file [4, 5].
Remove the suspect driver using: dism /image:C:\ /remove-driver /driver:oemXX.inf (replace XX with the actual number) [7].
Try selecting Safe Mode from the F8 menu. If it loads, go to Device Manager and roll back or uninstall recently updated drivers [3, 4].
When a critical boot driver (like disk controllers or video drivers) is corrupt or incompatible, Windows fails to load [4]. The system detects this failure and automatically launches [1, 3]. However, if the repair tool cannot identify or replace the specific driver file, it fails and reboots, starting the cycle again [1, 4]. How to Fix It
