System can't boot correctly after [DPC_WATCHDOG_VIOLATION]
Recently installed TrackIR 5, and when using it in-game (ArmA 3) things went as expected. Today, I experienced a couple of weird crashes. The first one, the game froze, and the entire OS hung and I waited a couple of minutes before I returned to desktop, CTRL+ALT+Delete, task manager, and ended the game's process. Opened the TrackIR 5 software, that also crashed. restarted it, and that was working fine.
In case you don't know, TrackIR 5 has a couple of drivers - one for the USB, and one for the software that controls it.
The second crash, I returned to the game, and not shortly after, the same crash occurred, except this time, I couldn't return to the desktop, smashing all types of shortcuts (ALT+F4 to close game, CTRL+ALT+Escape & CTRL+ALT+Delete to open task manager) and a blue screen came up with something along the lines of "Something went wrong with your PC, we're collecting some stuff and we'll restart." It reached 100%, stayed there for a couple of minutes before I decided to force reboot.
And now I'm here, can't boot into windows. Sometimes, I'll hear the startup sound and my peripherals will turn on (LEDs will enable) but nothing appears on screen. Tried changing from HDMI display input to DVI-D to no avail. Other times nothing will happen. I do not have AVG, only Windows Defender.
Edit: Removed the TrackIR 5 drivers through device manager, then removed video driver, and then I could temporarily boot into windows before I'd get a BSOD or a blank screen again. I had enough time to remove the TrackIR software, but it doesn't stop the crashes. These have been added to the SF Debug .zip.
