The computer won't turn on. I tried to erase everything and start over by reinstalling Windows, but nothing worked.

So I just bought a new CPU, but my Microsoft account got locked down and says I have to wait thirty days before it unlocks. That sounds crazy to me. The agent told me to reinstall Windows and wipe everything so it can set up on fresh drives. I've done that twice already because of how frustrating this gets. Now when the computer starts, suddenly it shows four different operating systems instead of one, and the system won't start or do anything. It just keeps giving me an error code 0xc0000225, which is exactly what I'm getting right now.
