Windows Could Not Prepare Computer To Boot Into Next Phase Of Installation

Like 3 weeks ago the smarthdd malware affected my computer. The one where all your icons, files, etc. are hidden, gives you bogus security alerts, and then turns off the PC. Using support from the web with Rkill, MalwareBytes, and Hitman Pro. I eliminated the problem. While I thought I had recovered the computer I was wrong. Probably a day later I notice regedit would start when the computer was started and a few seconds later the computer would turn off. After turning on the computer a few times, the problem was gone. MSE is turned off. I tried to turn it on but it wouldn't turn on, saying the system needed to restart.

I also notices the computer would notify that Windows Update was also turned off and can't turn it on or download any updates (error: windows update cannot currently check for update, because the service is not running. You may need to restart the computer). Also, when I click the Nvidia settings icon, the computer does not detect video graphics hardware. I checked around a forum and I saw someone having the same problem and was advised to set BITS service and Windows Update service to start automatic. But when I check the services.msc, those services are gone. Also, I noticed that in the Device Manager, in System Devices, 2nd Generation Intel Core processor family PCI Express controller - 0101 has a yellow triangle sign on it.

On properties, it has this status: "Windows cannot initialize the device driver for this hardware. (Code 37)". So I try uninstalling MSE and installing it again, but the problem persist there. I run several scans with different anti-virus/malare and while I do find a few malwares, fixing/deleting/quarantined them haven't solved the problem. Yet, one antivirus (eset nod) wouldn't install, after many tries when it got to a driver install stage. I also try windows fix it, but nothing was solved. Also tried kapersky TDSSkiller, and nothing was solved (though when initializing, it gives an error saying that 'Can't load driver", yet it continues initializing).

So then I tried chkdsk /r in the command prompt, but it throws off an error in the second stage, restarting the scan again continuously until I decide to skip the scan. Finally I decided I had enough and tried a repair install, but after the stage where it check the programs and settings, I get the error "windows could not prepare the computer to boot into the next phase of installation". Then out of resignation I tried doing a clean install, but it gives me the same error. Later ran sfc /scannow on command prompt, and the log said that it couldn't repair DDORes.dll. So then what I did was replace DDORes.dll with one from installation disk.

Nothing was solved, and sfc scan still gives me that DDORes.dll is corrupted and can't be repaired. Later I tried upgrading the Intel graphics driver and the Intel Display Audio Driver. After rebooting the resolution of the laptop changed from 1366 X 768 to 800 X 600 as default, and now i can't increase it over 1024 X 768. Device manager shows that now both the Intel HD Graphics 3000 and Intel Display Audio cannot start due to error: "Windows cannot initialize the device driver for this hardware. (Code 37)" Or any way to at least clean install the OS so I can get rid of this problems?
