I was out today and returned home to find my pc sat on an error screen having left it on the Windows Login screen.
It seemed the PC had re-booted itself and the error screen was displaying that the bootable devices needed were unavailable with status: 0xc000000e.
I have restarted the pc several times, each time the boot process is extremely slow (normally boots within 15 seconds to windows login when working), and ends up back at this same screen.
I have managed to boot from the Windows 7 installation disk once, ran a Windows repair which stated the error was a corrupt boot configuration which the diagnostics claimed was fixed successfully. This however has made no difference.
Leaving the PC to boot from the SSD where windows is located continues to result in the same error screen already mentioned, and trying to boot from the installation disc hangs on a black screen with blue lines at the top and bottom, presumably just before the part you'd normally expect to see the "Press any key to boot from disk..." instructions.
I haven't installed any new hardware recently, the only things connected to my PC via USB are mouse and keyboard, and I have tried resetting the BIOS to defaults but this also made no difference.
Any help or guidance on this issue would be greatly appreciated!
