"Your PC/Device needs to be repaired"

[AlbanHampton]

Alright guys, so I've had this problem ever since reformat and install a fresh version of Windows 10, every time I restart my computer I get this blue screen saying

"Your PC/Device needs to be repaired, A required device isn't connected or can't be accessed.

Error code: 0xc000000e"

and it will not start up unless I first load into the bios, then leave it.

Fairly confident it has something to do with a Windows 10 update as every time I update it, it restarts my computer and then I get the same message.

Would appreciate the help as it is a mild inconvenience leaving my PC on stand by all the time.

Cheers xx

Sounds like a failing motherboard or partially corrupt BIOS. Try flashing the bios and see if it is resolved.

Surely not as the motherboard is less than 6 months old

Age is not always the best indicator of a part working as it should.

A windows update generating a hardware fault is far more difficult for me to accept than a random death of a previously working component (which I have seen 100's if not 1000's of times).

I would try to flash the bios and see what happens.

That has absolutely nothing to do with it at all. Age means nothing at all.

Could you provide me with instructions on how to do this?

My board is an Asrock Q77M Vpro
