Can't boot up - ntoskrnl.exe

[Joss Rushton]

Hello

This morning when I turned on my laptop I instantly got a BSoD and it said the issue was ntoskrnl.exe, usually I disregard them and restart and works fine again but now it won't boot up. I can get into BIOS but can't get any further... Laptop is running Windows 8.1

Any hints would be great help?

Have you tried rebooting in Safe Mode, or Last Known Good Configuration? Have you made any hardware changes recently? Usually ntoskrnl errors indicate corruption, or bad drivers. Have you scaned the system with something like Windows Defender Offline to make sure you are clean of any infections?

Can't get as far as option to boot in Safe Mode, or able to do anything, I can only enter the BIOS and when on the boot screen (if I dont go into BIOS) it just freezes.

Are you able to boot from some other sort of media, and perform some diagnostics tests on the Hard Drive? I'm thinking your drive may be pooched.
