Windows 10: Windows 10 Home blue screen of death happened - now I can't enter Windows and my recovery...

What happened

I was working earlier today when suddenly the computer froze and I got a blue screen of death. On reboot it showed a recovery screen and after several attempts to reboot to Windows I keep getting a blue error screen. I also tried booting in safe mode with no luck. Only thing that let me into Windows is deactivating forced driver signature, however this is only brief before Windows freezes.


I've come across the following error codes when rebooting so far:


0xc0000001

0xc0000428 winload.exe

0xc0000098 ntoskrnl.exe

The file is possibly corrupt. The file header checksum does not match the computed checksum.


What I've tried so far


I've tried all the Windows boot menu settings, but as mentioned above only disabling forced driver signature gets me into Windows, and only for a short while before it freezes or BSODs.


I've created a USB recovery drive using the Media Creation Tool, but when I try to boot from it I get a blank blue screen for a few minutes and then my PC shuts off.


I've tried disabling Fast Boot and Secure Boot, but same result.


Does anyone have an idea of what could be wrong and how if possible it can be fixed?

Windows 7 Blue Screen of Death!

This is the first time i have ever got the blue screen, but it keeps on occurring, and so i cannot get onto that hard drive, it shuts down within a second of the blue screen showing itself, which doesnt give me any time to read it lol. So i am completely confused as there is no Path of: "C:\WINDOWS\Minidump" as well

Thanks for the help, do you have any further suggestions ?

 

Windows 10 testers will now get a Green Screen of Death




"Windows’ infamous Blue Screen of Death (BSOD) is turning a shade of green for Windows 10 testers soon. A leaked preview build of Windows 10 (build 14997) emerged on the internet earlier this week, and it includes a number of new features and changes. One of the biggest is a Green Screen of Death instead of the regular BSOD. Microsoft employee Matthijs Hoekstra teased the change on Twitter, and MSPoweruser reports that it was eventually discovered by Twitter user Chris123NT.

It’s not clear why Microsoft has picked green over blue for its Windows 10 Insider builds, but Hoekstra confirms this new color scheme is only for preview participants. It’s likely that Microsoft wants to distinguish between genuine BSOD issues and problems and crashes that are more likely to occur during the testing of Windows 10 builds. A number of Windows 10 preview users publish issues like BSODs publicly on blogs or social networks, and turning the color green will help Microsoft identify them during the test phase. Microsoft last updated the BSOD with QR codes, years after adding a frowning face for Windows 8.

Microsoft has put its public testing of Windows 10 on hold for the festive period, and the company isn’t planning to introduce any new builds until next month. The leaked 14997 build also includes options to enable Cortana during the initial PC setup phase, a F.lux-like blue light reduction feature, traces of an Xbox Game Mode, Microsoft Edge tab improvements, and app folders for the Start Menu."
