Hello,

So I was trying to uninstall this one driver (it caused IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL problems)
and I eventually did through safe mode but I noticed that my dvd's/cds weren't getting read
and it wouldn't show up under my computer. It shows up as a BD-ROM
and it was cause of Daemon Tools
which was a known problem
so I was trying to fix that too.
Then all of a sudden my computer stalls at the BIOS screen
and then I unplugged my DVD drive from one of the SATA ports
and currently that's like the only to start the computer now.
I uninstalled Daemon's Tools
but I still can't get my DVD drive to work.

I changed SATA ports and it booted
but then it tried to install CD drive drivers and then it failed. So I went back to the original port and it still hangs at the BIOS screen. I'm SO FRUSTRATED!

My system specs:
Intel i5 quadcore 2500K processor
GIGABYTE P67A-UD3 mobo
500W PSU
nVidia geforce gtx460
