In this article, we will discuss the 0xc0000001 error on the blue screen. This error is quite extensive and there is no single way to solve it. It can occur due to bootloader errors, incompatibility with some software, or it may be directly related to your computer’s hardware, such as faulty RAM (RAM), connecting new hardware that was incompatible with the old one, more precisely, with its drivers. Or the error may also be in the connected hardware, for example, a malfunctioning hard drive.
The easiest way to enter safe mode is to do it through “System Recovery” from a bootable flash drive, namely:
Download the Windows 10 installer, you can download it from our catalog.
Write the installer to the flash drive, you can do it following the instructions.
Boot from the flash drive from the BIOS.
Then, at the point where you see the window as shown in the screenshot below, click “System Recovery”.
1. Next, in the “Additional options,” recommend performing the “Startup Repair” procedure; this may help solve the 0xc0000001 error.
2. If this procedure did not help, proceed to the command line.
In the command line, enter the following commands sequentially and wait for the process to finish after each command.
chkdsk /f /r /x
sfc /scannow
If errors occur in the “chkdsk” command, try specifying the disk where Windows is installed, i.e., disk C.
chkdsk C: /f
If you encounter errors in the “sfc” command, try entering another command:
sfc /scannow /offbootdir=C:\ /offwindir=C:\Windows
After completing all the procedures in the command line, try booting into your system.
You can check RAM for errors from the command line by entering the command:
mdsched
Then, in the new window, select “Restart now and check for problems.”
Additionally, it is recommended to swap the RAM sticks after cleaning their contacts with an eraser. Also, try temporarily replacing the RAM sticks with others and check the computer’s functionality.
The error may also lie in any other PC hardware, such as the hard drive (HDD / SSD). If you have recently replaced it, try testing Windows boot on another hard drive.
