Specs: ASUS G75VX. Initially it had Windows 8 but upgraded to Windows 8.1 several months ago.
Okay. This problem has been happening the past 2 months, giving a handful of different error codes, and the dreadful Automatic Repair loop. I can send in my laptop to Asus for repair, but I want to keep it as a last resort.
Initially, this problem occured when my computer suddenly froze, forcing me to hold down the power button to shut down. Upon booting it back on. The black screen pops up, with nothing happening for few minutes, then starting Automatic Repair, black screen again, and repeat.
From the various error codes, the one thing they have in common is that the files are missing or contain errors, noticeably system32 files. Another thing I see that's never changed, is that they only occur when I force shut down the computer, or a BSOD (which I got once, from a KERNAL_DATA_INPAGE_ERROR just yesterday).
Sometimes, though luck (more of restarting the computer over and over), I escape the Automatic Repair loop, and changes to "Diagnosing your PC...". It then fixes a bunch of stuff, although nothing I can recognize from the file names, it's a bunch of random letters with dashes similar to a serial code. Afterwards, the computer boots up like normal, although another problem has arisen.
From that day, whenever the computer boots up normally, the disk usage spikes up to 100%, and lags the computer out. This lasts a few minutes to an hour, so I wait it out. I tried finding what creates this problem, but no program on task manager has come up.
And so, from the BSOD I got yesterday, my computer was in an automatic repair loop. I tried accessing safe mode by holding F9, wait 15 minutes for it to load, and hitting safe mode, but it fails to boot up.
I installed a Windows 8.1 installation media on a USB. Using that, I accessed BIOS and tried reinstalling Windows 8.1, but gave a compatibility error.
So I clicked "Repair your computer", and these are the various things I did. I tried resetting my PC and refreshing, but says the drive partition is missing. I tried going to command prompt, and typed in the commands:
-bootrec /fixBCD
-bootrec /fixboot
-bootrec /fixMBR
-chkdsk C: /r /f /x
All went successful, and found no errors. But the problem persists.
I also tried going to Automatic Repair, which was one of the options, it lasted 4 hours, but at the end it just gave a black screen. I tried Automatic Repair again, but said it couldn't find the problem.
As of now, it seems that the Automatic Repair loop has stopped. Whenever I turn on my computer currently, it gives 10 minutes of a black screen, the Republic of Gamers logo pops up, then gives me a blue screen of error code 0xc0000185.
The only thing that works that I've explored are the BIOS and command prompt. I don't know what else to do.
