Hello,

I have an issue with my PC running Windows 8: it takes a long time to start up and spends 3 to 5 minutes on the Windows logo.

The drivers and the OS are up to date.

In the event viewer, I retrieved the following error:

I used the Kaspersky GetSystemInfo tool so you can help me, here is the full report:

    Hello.

    It must be dam.sys, which is located in C:\Windows\System32\Drivers\
