“Hi, I use Windows 7 on my system. The computer was operating very well and out of the blue it turned off. It started to show startup repair option after restart. And automatic startup repair is also not helping to resolve the issue. I tried several times to boot the system but no result. Now, all I can see is error status: 0xc0000225 on the screen. I don’t have much technical knowledge. So I really need help. I have saved lot of my work files on the system and even I don’t have backup. Please help me”.
