The issue indicates a problem with the bootres.dll file.
Hey, yesterday began having some issues with my computer, I'll give a quick run down on what happened. Was just playing TF2 at the time and the screen froze temporarily, before it looked like horizontal stripes, went white then turned off and went to restart. Upon restarting I got a blue screen, to which I chose to return to windows and it went in fine. After about 10 minutes the same thing happened again though. This time I could not get back in. I've also noticed some weird stuff upon starting the computer. The initial motherboard screen has weird artifacts over it, along with a second screen has appeared very quickly after that that I had never seen prior to this. I've attached them both for reference. I'm not sure whether this is a coincidence or an actual problem. I'm able to get into the computer with safe mode though. Windows attempts an automatic repair and all I get is the Automatic Repair couldn't repair your PC With the log file D:\WINDOWS\System32\Logfiles\Srt\SrtTrail.txt which I've also attatched At the bottom it mentions the problem: Root cause found: --------------------------- Boot critical file d:\boot\resources\custom\bootres.dll is corrupt. Repair action: File repair Result: Failed. Error code = 0x2 Time taken = 8016 ms Looking into that directory, that custom folder does not exist, in the resources folder though, the bootres.dll does exist. I've tried a few suggestions from other forums but nothing has worked so far. I'd much prefer not to have to refresh windows and just get this working properly. I'm also not sure if this is a hardware issue or software issue due to the things I mentioned before with the motherboard screen. Thanks for any help. If any other info is needed I'm happy to give SrtTrail.txt
Copy the necessary file from another Windows setup using a different machine. Even a bootable Ubuntu works. It should be located in \Windows\Boot\Resources. Your path indicates Windows searching for the installation disk (\boot\resources). You can also locate this file in the installation media under \boot\resources. The versions might differ, but it’s worth trying.
