I cannot start my laptop.
Opening message states that Windows shut down dur to a change in hardware or software.
I tried every option to open windows
1. safe mode
2. safe mode with networking
3. last known good config
4. windows normally


safe mode hangs at system32/agp440.sys

all other attempts have a blank screen
