Windows 10: Black Screen with Cursor and error code

I attempted to use Startup Repair and it "fixed" my black screen problem but the next thing I know my laptop cant start properly and this error code appears. Error Code: 0xc0000225. My laptop was working fine until yesterday.

Computer randomly has black screen and restarts

Taco this could be software also. Before you get all crazy, do as Erocker suggested. Find out the error in the Event Viewer. Look for the faulting module and the error code itself. Also check the reliability monitor. At the bottom it will have "View all Error Reports". Post a screen of whats in there if anything.

This could be a simple as a bad driver install.

ALSO have you downloaded or installed anything lately? STAY OUT OF THE DAMN BIOS UNTIL WE KNOW THE ERROR! lol. I know you. Baby steps boy, baby steps.
