Solved "Your PC needs to be repaired" Error Code 0xc00000e - Any Solutions?

[NoahReed22]

Heyyy,

So I turned on my PC today, and I was greeted with a blue screen saying, "Your PC needs to be repaired" with error code 0xc00000e. Anyone know what’s going on and how to fix it?

I’ve tried a couple of things so far:

• Restarting the PC multiple times
• Using the Windows Installation media to repair (no luck there)

I’m a bit stuck and could really use some guidance. Has anyone been through this and found a solution?

Thanks!

Did you recently install any new hardware or software? Sometimes new installations can cause conflicts. Try removing any recent additions and see if that helps.

Hey, I've dealt with this error before. Here's what I did: First, make sure your boot configuration data isn't corrupted. Boot from a Windows installation media, go to the command prompt, and type these commands: 'bootrec /scanos', 'bootrec /fixmbr', 'bootrec /fixboot', and 'bootrec /rebuildbcd'.

If that doesn’t work, you might want to check your hardware for any loose connections. Also, running a memory check can sometimes highlight issues. Good luck!

Try booting into Safe Mode and running a system restore. It helped me once with a similar error!

Ugh, that error is the worst! I had it a few months ago, and resetting the BIOS to default settings fixed it for me.
