Windows Problems Errors

[Roadsy]

Hey guys so ill start from the start, about a year ago i built a computer a mitx system and installed windows 8.1 on it with no problems, upgraded the mobo to a matx and the case to used the same ssd and windows was running fine for about 6 months, now however i bought a atx mobo and another gpu old motherboard was a msi z97m gaming and the new one is z97A gaming 6 not sure if any of this is relevant but ill include it.

Finished the computer and tried to run windows and i keep getting the "0xc0000221" error so at this point knowing nothing about windows or hard drives i thought the problem was with them, move on a week and a new ssd and windows 10 came and trying to install it from the same computer i was getting the "0xc0000098" error so i plugged the harddrive and windows usb into another random computer and installed it no problem then plugged the ssd back into my new computer just to receive the "0xc0000221" error yet again which makes me now think its something wrong with the hardware in the computer and the only thing that has changed was the motherboard and an additional 970 Strix gpu.

Anyway i know its a long read but i cant work anything out so if someone knows anything id appreciate the help.
FYI: I got product keys for both windows copies and the random computer has windows 8 not 8.1

Thanks!

When you change motherboards, especially when you change brands, you almost always need to reinstall Windows. There is different hardware on various motherboards, and those items need different drivers.

So I would go into Disk Management, delete the Recovery partitions, and then reinstall Windows. If you have backups of everything on the boot drive, this would be a good time to reformat the boot partition and start all over. You are going to need to reinstall all of the programs anyways if you reinstall since the registry will be recreated, and those programs need their data in the registry to function.

The windows 10 was a clean install with the new motherboard and new ssd and that didnt even work, i cant even get into the disk management to do what you suggested cause i get the error, sorry i dont know anything about this topic so if i sound that way i apologise

Sorry, I refuse to go to Windows 10 until it is ready for prime time. And I figure that is 6+ months away yet...

ok, so what do i do with the windows 8 ssd i cant get into windows with that either i only got windows 10 cause i thought it was the OS that was my problem

Focus on the actual error code
0xc0000211 is a error indicating a image checksum error.

Check your hardware. Boot and run memtest.
The checksum recorded in the files does not match the calculated checksum of the file. Either the source file is corrupted or it is getting corrupted as it is being read from storage.

Ran memtest and i really dont know what im looking at i know all the hardware is fine its just when i changed motherboard this happened and its the same brand and series of motherboard as my last one
For some reason this forum wont let me post pictures so ill do my best to explain what i see

They are constantly coming with all different codes and not sure if any other column is relevant but i got no idea what im looking at

be sure to update the BIOS or reset it to defaults before you run memtest
this will get the best chance for success. The BIOS sets the default primary and secondary timing for the memory chips.
and voltages. if you have already updated the BIOS and reset it to defaults and reconfigured. Then you should manually confirm each of the memory timings and voltages in BIOS and confirm they match the specs for the memory chips you are using.
You might also remove RAM sticks and run on at a time to see if you can isolate failures to a stick of RAM or a certain memory bank slot.


then you have to rerun the test, you want to have no failures.

Ok so im guessing all those figues that were coming up were failures? Anyway ill try what u said and fingers crossed

Update:
Unbelievable just did a cmos reset like you said and that seemed to do the trick windows is updating itself as we speak so fingers crossed.
Building computers for 3 years i thought i knew alot of stuff but never knew what those two pins were for, anyway cheers man ill keep you updates shortly

OK the problem seems fixed, not sure why but must have been that i overclocked the ram or something prior to even going into windows not sure why it caused it but its all good now thanks john your a hero 😛
Just did a test with enabling xmp for the ram and that seemed to cause the issue so like you said a ram stick maybe having problems when overclocked
