have the same issue ... any response???
it is 100% the wireless module
this here -

describes the workaround, but however, when I later on do insert the wireless card then Windows gives the same error message and won't let me enter the desktop environment and thus I cannot install the correct drivers. Otherwise, when I unplug the wireless card I do get access to the desktop environment, but that, as I said, is with the card unplugged. So having it unplugged means that I cannot install the proper drivers for it. And when I plug it, Windows won't boot! What a dilemma??? The story behind my issue is that I had the Intel Centrino Wireless-N 1030 wifi card, but since it is not dual band I decided to upgrade it to the Ralink RT3592 and so the 'Ralink RT3592' is obviously the culprit now with win 8.1.
PS
I did try all these options that Win 8.1 gives, but no results
1 enable debugging
2 enable boot logging
3 enable low-res video
4 enable Safe Mode
5 enable Safe Mode with networking
6 enable Safe Mode with CMD
7 DISABLE DRIVER SIGNATURE ENFORCEMEN (HAD HIGH HOPES OF THIS ONE, BUT ...
)
8 disable early launch anti-malware protection
9 disable auto restart after failure
The only thing that allowed me access Win 8.1 was having the wifi module removed. Perhaps it's worth mentioning that I too have Win 7 installed on the same SSD but just on a separate partition and Win7 had no problems with the wifi module at all.
