After 2 years of moderate use, my Asus K501UX - Win 10 suddenly showed a blue screen, stating (my translation, the original was in Spanish, see image below):

"Recovery

The hardware or device needs repair

The header verification checksum of this file does not match the calculated checksum.

File: \windows\system32\winload.efi
Error code 0xc0000221

You should use recovery tools. If you do not have installation media (as a DVD or a USB device), contact the administrator or the manufacturer of the equipment or device.

Press Enter to try again
Press F1 to go to the recovery environment
Press F8 for the boot configuration
Press ESC for the UEFI firmware configuration"

After that, I turned it off (by pressing the power button for >10sec). Then when I turn it on, the green battery light keeps blinking, with a dark screen. Nothing else happens.

Any ideas?
 


Hi,

I do not even get a boot or splash screen.
I may have missed something, but as long as I could see, the options in the link would not apply to this case.
Could you please confirm if there is something in there applicable?

Thanks
