Permanent BSOD WIN 8.1 and AVR Studio 6.1?

Question

Windows

Good day to all, such a problem.
There is iron with a working Windows 8.1, or rather, it worked for some time. I decided to install AVR studio, it doesn't matter what I was going to do there, everything was ok, I write programs, I compile. It was necessary to upload the resulting firmware to the controller using the AVRISP MKII programmer, probably many have seen it, so that's the whole point, stuck it in, the device was determined, requested a driver, safely gave it the driver it needed, swore at the signature, turned it off and fed the windows again. What do we have now.
Constant blue screen with the inscription memory_management
Analysis of the dump file showed that the error is somewhere here ntoskrnl.exe, it was this file that the BlueScreenView program pointed to, which is praised on all forums.
I tried to insert one bar at a time and remove one at a time, oh yes, I have 3 to 4 GB each. I tried to reset the BIOS, set the memory frequency to 1060 - below the prescribed 1333.
It still hangs in the blue screen, now I'm sitting with a memtest testing the memory for an hour - not a single error
I don't need anything, just to revive it, they made it very friendly, not hunting for 8 to return, especially since there is nothing to put an eight or a seven, there is only ubuntu, but it doesn’t suit my needs either.

Answer 1

Look: You installed the driver, the hardware is most likely in order - it means that this particular driver is causing the error. Of course, without seeing a crash dump, it is impossible to say anything for sure, but how a working hypothesis will do.
Once the machine is loaded and running - so remove the driver in any way possible, and prayerfully demolish AVRStudio and put it in a virtual machine - and that's it.
By the way, I advise you to install all square-nested and curved IDE / toolchains in a virtual machine (IMHO, AVRStudio and in general all software for MK under Windows falls under this definition). Incl. and because of similar glitches with firewood, littering PATH, installing any trash, and so on.

Answer 2

I don’t know if it remains in W8, but in W7 and XP there was an option “Load Last Known Good Configuration” on the F8 key.

Answer 3

Or boot disk -> system restore -> restore point.
