Solved PC won't boot - Windows files corrupted (possibly found the culprit?)

jbcarreon123 · Apr 24, 2023

Hello! This is not my PC that I put 11 on it even it is incompatible, the PC I'm referring here is my recent modern (but not new) PC that runs 11 without issues.
When I put files on it, sometimes other files just corrupted.

I experienced 4 of the same issue, PC won't boot.
1st issue:
Apps does not run, restarted it: 0xc000021A BSoD
2nd and 3rd issue:
While I'm doing something, PC just BSoDed with MEMORY_MANAGEMENT and after restart: 0xc000021A BSoD.
4th issue:
Winlogon does not run, after restart: bootloop

I think the culprit is the SSD?

Note: Can't run any BSoD scripts because I can't even boot, and any fixing (chkdsk, DISM, sfc) does not fix it.
The temporary solution is to completely reinstall Windows.

Maybe do a reset to reinstall after backing up files first. Then test the SSD.

I'm going to run memtest86+ when I have the time.

For situations where I don’t know if the problem is hardware or a corrupt OS, like possibly Windows in this case, I prefer to plug in a live linux bootable flash drive (Linux Mint is what I use), boot from the flash drive, and try out the L M operating system without installing it. The LM O S will then run from RAM. It contains Firefox, which also runs from RAM. It’s super easy, as is creating the live usb flash drive to do this. If the Linux OS runs on the pc, that tells me it’s a Windows Issue.
