Solve : Windows will not start, getting black screen with flashing underscore?

Answer» <html><body><p>Hello yesterday I was using my pc and I got a BSOD with The error code memory_management the pc reset and it went though the bios screen fine but once it starts up windows I get a black screen with a under score moving around and flashing, no windows at all not even the advance option after multiple fails.<br/><br/>I thought it was a hardware problem with the ram and so I tried multiple memory configs, I downloaded the windows installer and ran that as boot <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/priority-1166563" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about PRIORITY">PRIORITY</a>. with that up I tried to do everything from start up repair, system restore, system image <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/recovery-13760" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about RECOVERY">RECOVERY</a> uninstalling updates I then went into the command promt and tried to follow the article "How to Rebuild the BCD in Windows" from lifewire (<a href="https://www.lifewire.com/how-to-rebuild-the-bcd-in-windows-2624508">https://www.lifewire.com/how-to-rebuild-the-bcd-in-windows-2624508</a>) I got to Option 1<br/><br/>"Scanning all disks for Windows installations. Please wait, since this may take a while... Successfully scanned Windows installations. Total identified Windows installations: 0 The operation completed successfully." <br/><br/>witch if I am sure means my storage is most likely corrupted along with the windows installation so I followed it more until I got to "attrib c:\boot\bcd -h -r -s" in witch the pc told me there was no c:\boot and so in my frustration I just tried to reinstall windows 10 I then tried to format the ssd and the hdd partitions using my windows installer and then install it to my ssd and it still doesn't work I think I might have to get some new storage but I am not sure if that would work.<br/>So does anyone have any ideas, it would be very appreciated.<br/><br/>Specs<br/>Motherboard: PRIME X370-PRO <br/>CPU: Ryzen 5 1600<br/>RAM: 2x HyperX HX424C15FB2/8 FURY DDR4 8 GB RAM 2400 MHz DDR4 CL15 DIMM<br/>GPU: vega 64 sapphire nitro+<br/>SSD: Kingston SA400S37/240G SSD A400 240 GB SSD<br/>PSU: Seasonic 550W<br/>HDD: 1 TB internal hard drive<br/>Sound card: Xonar AE<br/><br/>Did you get this Windows 10 Installation media from Microsoft using their tool to create it?<br/><br/>Your hardware list doesnt show a HDD yet you stated ( I then tried to format the ssd and the hdd partitions using my windows installer ) did you mean SSD partitions or do you have a hard drive installed but its missing from hardware list?<br/><br/>If you have 2 drives in this system, remove that drive that Windows is not going to be installed to. Then install clean to that single drive. See is that works better for you.<br/><br/>Note I have <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/seen-1199302" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about SEEN">SEEN</a> before where a system has the Windows installation on a drive that is connected to <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/sata-629453" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about SATA">SATA</a> 1 and a drive that has a troubled install of Windows on a drive connected to SATA 0 and so you end up installing to SATA 1's drive but upon reboot it try to boot off the other drive at SATA 0 which is not bootable but it has remnants of a boot record causing the system to try to boot off it but it never succeeds and it will cause you to go crazy trying to chase it down.<br/><br/>However the BSOD prior to all of this could mean one of your drives might not be healthy as well. I had a SSD fail once with a BSOD and upon reboot Windows wouldnt load. Troubleshooting further by plugging the SSD into a External SATA to USB drive dock and connect it to another system of mine to connect to it as an external I ran crystaldiskinfo against it and it was flagged with a warning in the S.M.A.R.T data. Upon trying to format the drive however it got worse and eventually would allow me to create a very small partition in disk management but when trying to format that partition Windows would <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/cartwheel-7725128" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about CARTWHEEL">CARTWHEEL</a> and the format process would crash trying to format it. It was a 6 year old OCZ SSD drive that had heavy use, but they can fail at any time.<br/><br/></p></body></html>
