Samsung and many other laptops use a custom version of the OS from their makers. I see folk try to install Windows 7 and fail horribly. Reinstall the OS supplied with the laptop and it should work again.

Thank you for reading
My laptop is a samsung running on Windows 7.
Every time I startup my laptop tries to install multiple unknown devices until is finally crashes. My last startup installed 13 unknown devices + 1 "Volume manager" until it couldn't take any more. I have tried uninstalling these devices in 'Safe Mode', but with no luck as the instantly reinstall themselves. I have nothing plugged into my laptop, and have not installed any new pieces of hardware (aside from a RAM upgrade to 8.00GB).
Strange thing about 'Safe Mode' is that the device installation stops after 4 unknown devices. So far, my laptop is functional in Safe Mode (as functional as one can be in Safe Mode).
I would appreciate any and all help and thank you in advance for your assistance.
