Malware can be the trigger
I am dealing with this issue on a customers PC as I type. Having read many of the posts on this problem I would just give the following summary.
The most common trigger for this issue appears to be a pre-existing malware infection - especially a Rootkit infection of the ATAPI.SYS file. The key givaway for this infection is that the infected ATAPI.SYS file has no Version Tab when you look at its properties panel. Replacing this file with a clean copy can be the start of the cleanup and often allows you to boot the system. The following link may be helpfull:
