Hi homeathearth,
Welcome to 7forums
The error code means a specific file is not found, but that may not be due to a file being corrupted or just gone, more commonly it's a result of hard drive issues or RAM issues.
Please run the tests below in the order they are posted and report back.
To run HDTune, download an ISO from
Windows 10 Recovery Tools - Bootable Rescue Disk - Windows 10 Forums, mount the files onto a USB and boot from the USB.
If you have questions or run into issues, please let me know.
Run MemTest86+ to analyse your RAM.
MemTest86+ - Test RAM - Windows 7 Forums
Note
MemTest86+ needs to be run for
at least 8 complete passes for conclusive results. Set it running before you go to bed and leave it overnight. We're looking for
zero errors here. Even a single error will indicate RAM failure.
Make a photo of the result and post it.
Addition:
If errors show up you can stop the test, remove all sticks but 1 and test this single stick in each slot for 8 passes or until errors show, switch sticks and repeat.
If errors show up and you see them a lot later, no problem, the errors don't affect the test.
