Oh man, i have this problem only for me it is ialmrnt5.sys. Ever since i got the warning saying it is something wrong with it, i cannot use my laptop if its not in safe mod. If i try running it normally, the screen gets black squares all over it and starts to flash and all kinds of shit :/ . Eventually it reboots and the same procedure starts all over again. <br /><br />I tried uninstalling and reinstalling the drivers and nothing has worked. <br /><br />If anybody figures it out, PLEASe let me know!<br /><br />/Jakob
