Windows Fails to Start Multiple Times. Err Codes: 0x1f and 0x490 etc
Hi!
I hope yall are doing well and that you can possibly help me figure what is wrong with my computer and help me fix it!
I have an Acer Aspire that I purchased in July. Over the past month, it has failed to start multiple times. It does this when I leave my computer on for a while...the screen will just go black. And I have to do a hard power off. Only to open it up and do the Windows Restore or whatever it is called. It has done this also upon starting the computer after I've shut it down the usual way. It doesn't do this every time. But I'd say 2 out of 3.
I have chosen the advanced restore options (restore the computer to a previous point in time). Picked a date that was listed and then it was restored.
Only to continue "failed to start" processes over and over again. I'm not going to try right, but If I were to shut down and reboot right now...I am almost certain it would do it again. It has literally done this around 15 times.
It has given me a couple of different reason:
Last week it said: Root Cause Found: Unspecified changes to system configuration might have caused the problem. Repair Action: System Restore
Result: Failed Error Code: 0x1f
Yesterday, it failed to start again and gave me the following error codes:
0x1f (again) AND System Files Integrity Check & Repair- Failed: error code: 0x490
How can I go about addressing and fixing this issue?
Your help will be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance
