Sounds like the MBR has failed. First off, try resetting the MBR: http://www.thewindowsclub.com/repair-master-boot-record-mbr-windows If that fails, do a clean install of the OS: https://www.howtogeek.com/224342/how-to-clean-install-windows-10/ Either of those will work. Once you're done...

Sounds like the issue is a result of a corrupted Master Boot Record (MBR). The MBR is what loads your OS, so if it's corrupted, it will prevent the OS from loading. Some common things which can damage a MBR are improper shutdowns, Windows updates, and even changes to the computer or registry...

Sounds like a damaged Master Boot Record (MBR). It's what loads you into the OS, and it being damaged will prevent you from booting into the OS. Your first step should be to repair the MBR. A lot of damage done to the MBR is easily fixable with simple commands, please follow this guide...

When you unplugged the PC, you damaged your Master Boot Record (MBR). It's what loads you into the OS, and it being damaged will prevent you from loading into the OS. Your first step should be to repair the MBR. A lot of damage done to the MBR is easily fixable with simple commands, please...

I use Macrium Reflect for system backup, Rollback Rx Home for data backup. Both work wonderfully and are free. Windows imaging is unreliable. Which would be acceptable if there wasn't better freeware solutions out there like Macrium Reflect or Clonezilla.

It's your Master Boot Record (MBR) this is the component which loads you from your pre-OS environment (BIOS) into Windows. So if you're having an issue with getting into Windows, but not an issue with the BIOS; that leaves the MBR. Repairing the MBR can be done one of two ways. One is that you...

Understandably it's not ideal to have to do a clean install, but your Master Boot Record (MBR) is hosed. You can try repairing it, but sometimes the damage is too severe, and your MBR has to b replaced outright. All other methods of 're-installing Windows' will not do this, only a clean...

These problems can be very difficult to track down. Can be a lot of things. Try resetting BIOS to defaults, and doing an MBR reset. If that doesn't work, restore to a disk image backup or if you don't have one, do a clean install of the OS...

OK, you'll have to run hardware tests. Likely the RAM itself may need to be replaced entirely.

Looks like the update hosed your Master Boot Record (MBR), you can try resetting the MBR or if that doesn't work, you can do a clean install of the OS. https://www.pcworld.com/article/3113585/windows/how-to-repair-windows-master-boot-record-and-fix-your-bricked-pc.html...

With over 12 mentions, it's ntoskrnl.exe. Sadly this is a vague error, it could be anything from bad memory, to other hardware related issues. Since you've updated everything and even reinstalled the OS, you'll want to next check your Memory, and if possible, remove damaged sticks. Other than...

It's all conjecture and speculation but my theory is that most people who don't like it rushed the upgrade, not realizing most of the programs they had installed on Win 7 or 8.1 wouldn't work, so when they went to upgrade, a good portion of their programs were incompatible and this lead to Blue...

You're right, it's not hardware related, essentially there's an issue with your Master Boot Record (MBR). It's the service that essentially loads your OS. An MBR can be repaired one of two ways, the first being by resetting the MBR. Resetting the MBR should bring it back to a working order by...
