    BSOD error 0xc000021a crash


    This morning, I needed to check my emails so tried booting up my laptop only for the BSOD saying "Your PC ran into a problem and needs to restart. We are just collecting some error info and then we will restart for you." I allow it to reach 100% but whenever it starts to restart my laptop just freezes. No matter how many times I boot my computer this always seem to happen which is why I am unable to follow the BSOD posting instructions. Is there anyway I can fix this as I need certain data that is on my hard drive?

    But if I can not actually load Windows at all at the moment should I just skip running SeaTools?

    Never mind I didn't read the entirety of the post

    *EDIT*
    Now I have read other sections of the post on SeaTools it sounds like I would need another PC to download the software which I am not able to access until the weekend.

    You could start with chkdsk already and hope it gives some result :)
    I would recommend to run "chkdsk /r" (without quotes) in case chkdsk finds something it could fix it.

    Right so I did what you suggested and it appears that it seems to have got stuck at a specific point however annoyingly neither my phone or iPad want to upload the photo I took so:
    "X:\windows\system32>chkdsk C: /R
    The type of the file system is NTFS.
    Volume label is Windows10_OS.

    Stage 1: Examining basic file system structure...

    Like I said, it has now been at this point for over 12 hours now.

    Please keep chkdsk running, it may take some time depending on how much it has to do and the size of the hard drive.
    warning   Warning
    Aborting chkdsk could cause damage

    Chkdsk has just finished so:

    "X:\windows\system32>chkdsk C: /R

    Stage 4: Looking for bad clusters in user file data...

    Stage 5: Looking for bad, free clusters...
    102123574 free clusters processed.
    Free space verification complete.

    Windows has scanned the file system and found no problems.
    No further action is required."

    This seems to imply there is nothing wrong however at the end it did fail to transfer logged messages to the event log with status 50.

    This is just 1 step of finding the cause, there are a few usual causes for this crash.
    • Mismatched system files,
    • User-mode driver
    • system service
    • 3rd party app's


    To proceed, you would need recovery media or the troubleshooting options.
    I would recommend the recovery media in case the recovery partition(s) get damaged.

    But if I can not load Windows and just continuously get the BSOD or the troubleshooting screen I won't be able to create the recovery drive, will I?
