I was in the middle of college work then I suddenly got a blue screen and a loud noise. Turned off my computer and turned it back on.
I received a screen that said-
Recovery
Your PC couldn't start properly
Error code: 0xc0000225

I tried system restore, it wouldn't let me go to it. I tried booting from a USB and CDs as well...been at it all night and nothing!

Hi Muva,

Welcome to the forum.

If you are getting that particular error booting is not possible because a required device is inaccessible.

You mentioned a loud noise. It's possible your hard drive has been damaged which of course would make booting not possible. The fact you also cannot boot from CD or USB suggests other possible damage to either your Motherboard or BIOS chip.

You may need to take your computer to a store to have it checked over and repaired if possible.
