    Boot/Startup problems

    Please Help!!!

    My computer has randomly started having problems booting/starting. It will begin loading, very slowly upon startup and it sometimes freezes before getting to the sign in window. Sometimes I make it to the sign in window, but it freezes there. Very rarely Iโ€™m able to sign in, and then it freezes shortly after. Occasionally after rebooting I get the error code 0xc000000f or it says windows has failed to complete the update. I have cleaned up my drive of some space and cleaned up unnecessary start up programs, and other programs that i donโ€™t need. I can start windows from bios in safe mode and safe mode with networking. I tried the self diagnosing/troubleshooting tools to no avail. I opened the cmd and performed an SFC scan, it said โ€œWindows Resource Protection found corrupt files but was unable to fix some of them.โ€ Then I tried all of the DISM /Online /Cleanup-image options and that didnโ€™t do anything either. I created a windows 10 install on a USB in order to get some more options for repairs/booting/troubleshooting. I clicked the startup repair option, it said โ€œStartup Repair couldnโ€™t repair your PCโ€. Am I going to have to start from scratch and completely wipe this POS and re-install windows 10?? please helpโ€ฆ

    Update: I when selecting the boot option for the USB, I selected the standard option, not UEFI. I think this was wrong and accomplished nothing. Just realized I have the UEFI option, trying it right now. I clicked repair this pc, and if forget what I clicked next, something repair related and is at the black screen with the ASUS logo with the spinning microsoft circles and under it says โ€œAttempting repairsโ€. It has been doing this for about 10 minutes now. Hopefully something happens soon.

        update: after an hour of โ€˜attempting repairsโ€™, it said it could not repair, try restoring bla bla bla. I tried a system restore. That also failed, it said โ€œSystem Restore did not complete successfully. Your computerโ€™s system files and settings were not changed. Details: System Restore failed to extract the file (C:\WINDOWS\System32\wpncore.dll) from the restore point. There was a disk failure during the restore. This might be caused by bad sectors on disk. Run chkdsk /R on this disk and then try running system restore again.โ€ booted up in safe mode with network enabled, pulled up cmd prompt, typed chkdsk /R and hit enter. said it could not run that action now because the disk is in use, would you like to chkdsk upon restart? i said yes. restarted the pc, now itโ€™s scanning and repairing C: drive. Iโ€™ll post again when itโ€™s done, may fall asleep before then lol

            I gave up, the HDD had to have been f*cked. Bought a Samsung SSD 850 EVO and windows is reinstalled and life is good. Setting up everything now.
