For the second time now, my PC has just randomly not been able to boot and got stuck in an automatic repair loop. The error code I get when trying to boot is 0xc000021a
. I've tried everything and it seems the only solution is to reinstall Windows in order to be able to turn on my computer again.
This is incredibly frustrating because I lose all my programs and files each time.
What is the issue? Could it be my SSD? I bought it only a couple of years ago!
I have no idea what could be going wrong? I couldn't find much online on this problem.
Edit: After doing some more research online, could it be that my SSD is failing? (but it is only 1-2 years old?!!)
After reading a little bit on the internet I found this page,
Where a guy says
i had this problem and i fixed it. i faced this after updating my win8 and rebooting after that update. i tried safe mode but it failed to boot. finally i tried to boot with "force drivers to have signature disabled" and it worked.
Don't know if this will help you but its worth a try! It's marked as best answer over there so it helped some people!
I ended up isolating the problem to a faulty SSD and it is now being sent for repairs. I will leave this answer here in case others run into the same problem.
