Repeated BSODs, unable to boot up accompanied with BIOS Beep Code

Greetings,

Issue

My computer has been shutting down autonomously and displaying various error message on the BSOD. I have uploaded the DMP files onto my onedrive (Link: Microsoft OneDrive - Access files anywhere. Create docs with free Office Online.) I have updated my computer from Windows 8 to Windows 10 a few months ago and this issue occurred after i've updated to Windows 10 (it did not happen when it was Windows 8) After the BSOD, the computer does not boot up and emits a BIOS Beep Code (Continuous Beeping)

Error Messages

KERNEL_CHECK_SECURITY_FAILURE

IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL

File: \windows\System32\drivers\ACPI.sys
Error code: 0xc0000221

File: \windows\system32\ntoskrnl.exe
Error code: 0xc0000221

Here were the fixes i have attempted so far:

Driver Verifier - Bug Check 0xC4
sfc/ scannow - no integrity violations
DISM - No component store corruption detected, The restore operation completed successfully.

Thank you and stay healthy!

I'll do that as soon as my computer 'feels' like booting up :) I managed to grab those dmp files yesterday.

Sounds like a hardware problem to me. Are you able to strip it down (or substitute parts) for testing?

It's an older link, but still works.

I have followed the instructions in the pinned post - apologies for not following the instructions earlier. Here is the link to the output: Microsoft OneDrive - Access files anywhere. Create docs with free Office Online.

Please perform the following steps:

1) Open administrative command prompt and type or copy and paste:
2) sfc /scannow
3) dism /online /cleanup-image /scanhealth
4) dism /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth
5) sfc /scannow
6) chkdsk /scan
7) wmic recoveros set autoreboot = false
8) wmic recoveros set DebugInfoType = 7
9) wmic recoveros get autoreboot
10) wmic recoveros get DebugInfoType
11) bcdedit /enum {badmemory}

12) When these have completed > right click on the top bar or title bar of the administrative command prompt box > left click on edit then select all > right click on the top bar again > left click on edit then copy > paste into the thread

13) Make sure that there is no over clocking while troubleshooting

checked the next time the system restarts? (Y/N)

Type: Y
reboot

Thank you and stay healthy!

For virtual memory:
a) move the dot from custom size to system managed size
b) check the box to Automatically manage paging file size for all drives
c) reboot to maintain settings

Hi there,

I have already made the necessary changes to the virtual memory settings.

Is there anything i have to do with the chkdsk results?

The Chkdsk switches fixed the underlying problems.
Run it again in a few months to check for any recurrent problems.

See if you can replace drive cables to modify the HD Sentinel findings.
