[URGENT] Windows 10 Boot Error

[TheGamingBoris]

Hello all,

Let me explain this shitstorm to you...

It all started 2 months ago, everything was running fine, the next day I booted my PC up, I was presented with the blue screen of death. (Shown Below)

I have tried creating installation media to use automatic repair, I tried altering the boot order for my BIOS, I tried 'reset my pc' on the installation media HDD, that just reboots the damn computer.

I honestly have no clue what to do.
I can still access my system but I have to do this process below.
1. Boot PC into boot manager. (If I'm too slow, it goes to the blue screen then I hit ESC and overide boot to boot from Recovery HDD)
2. It asks me what OS I want to use (Win10 or Win8.1)
3. Hit Windows 10.
4. Typer password in ans continue day as normal knowing that the same must be done tomorrow.....

Screens below.

Then I recently saw this little cmd line pop up when I reboot.

Oh and my specs are as follows...

Processor AMD FX-6300 (3.50 GHz)
RAM: 8.00GB Ballistix Sport
OS: Windows 10 (kind of).

Unsure about mobo...

Oh and I also tried a series of cmd commands that i found in an article, 'BootMBR' or something. Did not work.

on the logon screen, instead of putting password in, click on the power button (on the lock screen, not on pc) and while holding the shift key, select restart

this opens the windows advanced start menu.
select troubleshoot/advanced/command prompt
go from step 3 on here: http://pcsupport.about.com/od/fixtheproblem/ht/rebuild-bcd-store-windows.htm

That was one of the first things I tried, but when I attempt to run the cmd provided there, my computer starts and I back to pressing f12 to get boot manager and running windows that way.

I fucking hate this.........

If you have another pc to use, download this and use it to create a win 10 installer on USB or DVD: Win 10 media creation tool

enough messing with boot menu, lets go into bios itself and change boot order to be USB or DVD first, hdd second
noe boot from installer
on screen after language choices, select repair this pc, not install
this is same screen I wanted to boot into before
select troubleshoot/advanced/command prompt and do step 3 as I suggested

there seems to be some options you may not have tried in this thread: http://www.eightforums.com/installation-setup/17774-windows-8-boot-error-bcd.html

 

[Colif]

if that the commands you already tried (the repair bcd one) you may need to do a fresh install as if you can't repair it, best answer is blow it away.

Now I think this might work but not sure - if there anything on PC you want to save, try this: http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows-vista/use-ubuntu-live-cd-to-backup-files-from-your-dead-windows-computer/

 

[Colif]

you could try step 3 here if you can get to command prompt: http://www.thewindowsclub.com/the-drive-where-windows-is-installed-is-locked

 

[TheGamingBoris]

No luck. My system just reboots when i click command prompt and I press F12 and boot from my bootable HDD, it then says 'preparing command prompt' and reboots, back to square one.

Would it be worth reverting to Windows 8.1 to then perform the Windows 10 upgrade again, this time it hopefully repairs any damaged files.

 

[Colif]

download the win 10 installer I linked and fresh install that instead of upgrade. Upgrade is just 1 extra step you don't need. Fresh installs always better.

This and post directly under it now are both almost same, both BCD errors. I go weeks without seeing any and get two in one night. Errors seem to move in packs here at Toms.

 

[TheGamingBoris]

I did download it, I booted it up but it presented me with the standard "Select an operating system: Windows 10 or Windows 8.1".
It won't give me the option to fresh install, every option I click under the advanced trouble-shooting menu reboots my computer sending me back to having to boot from the menu

so PC is ignoring the USB entirely?

this is about your motherboard:

It is more likely in the Hard Drive BBS Priorities. If it is there than you have to make that one first. Then go to the boot option and do the same thing in there too. Plus one other thing is you have to have the USB devise plug in too for it to see it. You might not have that option till it is plug it.

BIOS Features

Boot Option Priorities
Specifies the overall boot order from the available devices. For example, you can set hard drive as the first priority (Boot Option #1) and DVD ROM drive as the second priority (Boot Option #2). The list only displays the device with the highest priority for a specific type. For example, only hard drive defined as the first priority on the Hard Drive BBS Priorities submenu will be presented here.
Removable storage devices that support GPT format will be prefixed with "UEFI:" string on the boot device list. To boot from an operating system that supports GPT partitioning, select the device prefixed with "UEFI:" string.
Or if you want to install an operating system that supports GPT partitioning such as Windows 7 64-bit, select the optical drive that contains the Windows 7 64-bit installation disk and is prefixed with "UEFI:" string.

Hard Drive/CD/DVD ROM Drive/Floppy Drive/Network Device BBS Priorities
Specifies the boot order for a specific device type, such as hard drives, optical drives, floppy disk drives, and devices that support Boot from LAN function, etc. Press <Enter> on this item to enter the submenu that presents the devices of the same type that are connected. This item is present only if at least one device for this type is installed.

The Windows Media Creation Tool should give you an option to download a Windows 10 ISO image for either 32bit or 64bit versions. Once you have this iso image, you can create the installer on a USB stick for a fresh Windows 10 installer. It should not be asking you to select between 8 or 10.

 

[Colif]

His motherboard has a habit of ignoring USB (not just his exactly, the model itself) so thats a boot loader or something asking if he wants 8 or 10. Not the installer.

Need to have USB plugged in when you set it as a boot device as bios won't have the option otherwise.

 

[TheGamingBoris]

Well I downloaded the creation tool on my laptop, It asked for settings such as region and language, I confirmed them and then it asked if I wanted to save it to a USB or create a zip file to extract.
I chose zip as the USB ISO doesnt like being created on a bootable External HDD

Some systems will have trouble booting to Windows USB media if it is plugged into USB 3.0 port. Also some motherboards have UEFI/Legacy boot options that can prevent USB boot loaders.

From one of the photo's that OP has posted, it is having trouble detecting the boot drive.
