New build keeps winding up in "Windows Could Not Repair Your PC"

[98Redbird]

Okay, this is the 3rd time this has happened on this new build in about a week. Windows 10 home.

 

The first few times it was on a simple restart, tries to boot, and windows needs repair, cannot repair, needs a fresh install apparently.

 

This last time all seemed okay, was doing some overclocking and again... needs repair.... cannot repair. First two times, no overclocking at all.

 

Is there some issue with the hard drive? Why does this continue to occur? 

 

Tried to restore settings this last time, got the following error 0x8007051a.

 

I've never had an issue like this on any of my builds, several have been Windows 10.

Help?

Can you try another hdd to rule it out? 

 

What version of windows are you trying to run?

[98Redbird]

Windows 10.

 

Yeah, I might pick up another HDD tomorrow to try. It just seems random, it will do it on random restarts.

It seems to me the most likely culprit is the hdd drive, the only other thing I can think of that would corrupt files would be power issues.  If the hdd swaps and it still does it can you try a different PSU?

[98Redbird]

I could, yes.

 

Could memory do it? I dug an old thread up from years ago, and the owner seemed to think mem was causing it? I'm with you though, my first thought was an issue with the hdd.

I would rule out the HDD and PSU first.   If they are both  good you could try running memtest next.
