Computer unable to boot at all from anything (error code 00xc0000225)
I have had an on-going problem with my computer where sometimes it boots and sometimes it doesn't. this times it's different. it wont boot at all.
- If i try to boot from hard disk normally, it goes to "starting windows" and suddenly changes to "windows is loading files" and then restarts my computer.
- launching start-up repair takes me to "windows is loading files" and the returns me to the page that ask me if i want to run start up repair.
- loading the installation disk directs me up to "starting windows" and then i get the error code "00xc0000225" and tells me to try the installation disk that i JUST tried loading.
to summarize, no matter what i do, it wont boot up. i have made NO hardware OR software changes recently so i have no idea what is wrong. however i have not gotten the BSOD yet. Help would be GREATLY appreciated! :)
P.S. all i wanted to do was play portal...
