A week ago my computer turned off completely whilst trying to load F1 2019, displaying a BSOD (error code 0xc000021a) when trying to load back into Windows. I searched it online and went through the troubleshooting steps they recommended (SFC, chkdsk and start-up repair scan, disabling driver signature enforcement and booting into safe mode), as well as some of my own (system restore, reverting to a previous Windows build, clearing the hard drive, changing the RAM arrangement, trying to install Windows from USB, updating my BIOS and running an Ubuntu live disk). The SFC, start-up repair, system restore, previous Windows build and clearing the hard drive all render error messages. The Windows USB stick couldn't identify the hard drive, and the Ubuntu live disk picked up the drives but couldn't mount them. All the other methods still lead to the same BSOD. When running chkdsk /f , Windows threw up a bunch of unindexed files relating to F1 2019 (shown below) , but chkdsk /r got stuck at stage 4.

Is there anything else I can do to at least get the drives functioning again? I've also let Codemasters know about the issue but they seem to believe it isn't anything to do with their software. Any help will be welcome, as I've basically got throwaway hard drives now.
