Hey EightForums!
I recently restarted my computer after changing my computer name and uninstalling programs, etc. I was and am always afraid of restarting it because Samsungs pre-installed software, SW Update, tells me to update my BIOS. I already tried it twice, and sent it in twice. Now I have no more warranty. Thankfully, it doesn't install automatically this time. I haven't had a problem on my computer until now.
I had UxStyle on my computer for a while now, but never used custom themes as I stopped liking them. So I decided to cleanup my computer from unused programs. I went ahead and "uninstalled" UxStyle. Sadly, that was a lie because I got a BSOD when restarting my computer and it was as this title says, a DRIVER_PAGE_FAULT of uxstyle.sys in C:\Windows\System32\drivers\uxstyle.sys. I had a headache from searching for ~4 hours and no solution, my eyes were fried because I couldn't turn down brightness in Safe Mode.
So, as of this post, this morning I tried uninstalling UxStyle but it couldn't uninstall. I used the DISM command, and it found corrupted files but couldn't repair it. The file was "prncacla.inf". I went ahead and searched the registry for "UxStyle", and yes I did make a backup before deleting things. There was only 1 folder I couldn't delete and I don't know why.
When I went into Drivers Manager, Generic PnP Monitor had a ! on it. I couldn't update it or anything, and I don't know if this monitor is related to UxStyle. I also deleted uxstyle.sys from my drivers folder in Windows\System32\drivers.
Basically, to summarize this, I can't boot because of a fault by uxstyle.sys. I just ran a cleanup too. Also, chkdsk found errors but I don't know if it fixed them.
Specs:
Windows 8.1 64-bit
8GB RAM
I can't download the software that Brink posted either because I'm in Safe Mode.
