Windows 10: Memory management BSOD resulted in automatic repair loop

I am hoping this is in the correct thread, if not please advise as to where to move it?

Memory management BSOD resulted in laptop rebooting.* Since then, I am stuck in an automatic repair loop.

I cannot get Win10 to run, only access to the Recovery Environment:

1. I have tried to roll back to a previous restore point, but this failed and will no longer work.
2. Start-up repair continues the automatic repair loop....
3. Start-up settings doesn't alter the startup options regardless of which I select.
4. Memory tests appear ok, however*from what I can determine using the cmd prompt, there is a problem with the system finding the Win10 OS correctly (bootrec /scanos)
5. SFC & DISM/online *fail to function.
6. Chkdsk seems ok.

Any help or advice appreciated.

Many thanks.

:)

 

BSOD Memory Management results in automatic repair loop

In addition, I have managed to turn off auto repair.

i subsequently get the following BSOD error:

file: CLFS.SYS

error code: 0xc000007b

i am still only able to get into the recovery environment.

thanks.

Thank you for your reply.

given that I can only access this system in the Win recovery environment, how would I go about doing this?

thanks.

 

Hi 7imrc,

Welcome to the 10forums and apologies for the delay.

Are you still in need of help?

 

Hi axe0, thanks for your reply.

Yes, I am still in need of help!

Little progress so far, although I have switched off automatic repair, which has resulted in the following BSOD on startup:

The operating system could not be loaded because a required file is missing or contains errors

File: CLFS.SYS
Error code: 0xc000007b

I still cannot change startup settings and have access only to the recovery environment on the laptop. I can however plug the SSD into my win10 desktop if that helps?

 

Do you have install media? We could use that as source for SFC to scan with.

 

Yes.....I have downloaded install media onto a USB, which is ready to go.

 

Question before I suggest something you've already done.
Did you run the commands with source, for example DISM like described here

 

I have run:

sfc /scannow resulting in 100% verification but then get message "Windows Resource Protection could not perform the requested operation".

I have also run the following:

Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /CheckHealth
Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /ScanHealth
Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth

all resulting in error 50, DISM does not support servicing Windows PE with the /Online Option.

I have also tried:

DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth /Source:wim*Biggrin:\install.wim:1
DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth /Source:wim*Biggrin:\install.wim:1 / limitaccess both of these also result in error 50 as well.

Thanks.

 

Can you see the CLFS.sys file on your SSD when connected to your desktop, in %systemroot%\system32?

 

Yes I can see that file:

\Windows\System32\drivers\clfs.sys (File date 30 Oct 15)

 

Please provide a screenshot of the disk management of the drive

axe0, screenshot attached.

Disk 1 is the SSD from my Dell laptop. I see that the OS(G*Smile drive is stating no free space available. I will look to move any unnecessary files off this drive to external from the command prompt.

 

I have freed up 18% of space from the os (g: )

 

Good, does the problem re-occur?
