UEFI issue PLS HELP

I have been having issue with booting windows 10 with UEFI,

 

I will try to give as much context as possible so you guys can give me some insight on the issue

 

System type : Laptop

Model : Acer E5 553

OS: Win 10 64bit GPT UEFI

 HDD: Toshiba 1TB HDD

 

Everything was working great until yesterday when I had and power outage and my laptop battery died on me

Next time I booted up, I got greeted with the love of everyone's life i.e. BSOD. I have never been so happy to see that(worried and sad)

ERROR 0xc00000e9

http://techfaqs.net/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/error_code_0xc00000e9.jpg

I said to myself calm down it might be just windows corruption and tried to restart the system 3 times

Same Error

Got my other laptop and created a USB windows 10 installation media and tried to boot from a USB 2.0 port(so not to face any issues of USB 3.0 drivers)

Same Error

Now I got worried that something might have gone wrong with the HDD(I had important data in there)

So I pried open the laptop with crowbar to get to my precious data in that failing bastard HDD

( In the mean while thinking How can you do this to me Toshiba I trusted you and you betrayed me>:()

I had a STORITE SATA to USB3.0  for such situation(Smart eh, I felt so good on that useless purchase now)

So I popped in that bastard Toshiba HDD in there and connected to the other laptop

and to my surprise everything is normal, it got detected and all data was safe and sound

(Am so sorry for calling you a bastard HDD Toshiba, I was wrong, I made the call to early)

(I felt more like a smart ass now about buying that SATA to USB3.0)

So now that I knew HDD was fine I popped it back in used some duct tape to put thinks together and tried to boot again

Same Error

So I booted into BIOS(Insyde) and cleared UEFI

Reboot

Same Error

Reboot again to USB Windows 10 IM

Same Error

Now I got seriously worried

Reboot to BIOS

Restored to Default settings

Save and reboot

Same Error

So I removed all the duct tape and popped out that drive and Put in another WD BLUE HDD I had around

It had windows 7 Ultimate MBR from a legacy bios system though

So obviously it did not boot

So I switched to Legacy boot and it booted only to be crashed in ATI driver section

(I was a drive from an old Dell Laptop I had, Laptop mobo had gone bad so I salvaged the HDD )

Tried to boot on SafeMode/Without GPU drivers but none stopped BSOD on ati..sys(something)

Anyways it was not the point anyways

I just wanted to check if system recognizes others drives too and it did

so I popped that old drive out and put it in that SATA to USB

Cleaned the drive

Deleted all partitions with DISKPART

Converted it to GPT

And because I cannot get the installation media to work

I used WINtoUSB by hasleo software to install Windows 10 GPT UEFI on that Dell Drive in USB

Waited for a while and voila

Connected the USB WINDOWS 10 GPT UEFI drive to laptop

Change BIOS back to UEFI from Legacy

And tried to boot from USB

Same Error

(:$:$:$:$)

Popped that drive(Other WD BLUE drive not TOSHIBA) from USB and put it back in Laptop

Some more duct tape and voila good as new just with other drive

Tried to boot again

Same Error

Reboot

Tried to boot Windows 10 USB IM

Same Error

Back to BIOS Switched to Legacy

Tried to boot

It did not detect HDD obliviously as Legacy does not support GPT drives

I knew it won't work, you have to understand I got tired now and I was desperate for it to work

Down it the crowbar again,

Got that drive out popped it on SATA to USB again

Cleaned Partitions Converted to MBR

Installed Windows 10 to USB (This time on MBR drive)

Some more duct tape and voila

As good as new

Into the BIOS

UEFI(UEFI does support MBR I checked)

Tired to boot

HDD not detected obliviously as there as no EFI entries

reboot

Manually add EFI entry

Reboot

Change boot order to EFI entry

Boot

Same Error

Reboot

Switched to Legacy Mode

and Voila

Windows Booted

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHHHHHHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

I had never been so happy in my life, such a relief

Setup was complete and windows was up and running no issues

But

Windows I was running was 1609

and I knew when this windows is going to update to 1709 or 1803 it would go to same issue again as

Microsoft has to be dick about UEFI and force all user to be on UEFI to be up date

I knew once that updates I would need to be UEFI

All this was not for nothing though

I now knew there is nothing wrong with Laptop for sure

HDD was working so were all other parts

So I narrowed it down to maybe BIOS issue

So I went up to Acer Support and downloaded latest BIOS

And re flashed the latest BIOS(Already had latest bios)

Created New USB WIN10 IM with MBR UEFI

Tried to boot from USB IM and Same error again

Works fine in Legacy Boots Windows 10 and all is fine

 

WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH THIS UEFI, FOR THE LOVE OF GOD SOMEONE PLEASE HELP I CANNOT FIGURE IT OUT

CALLOUT TO ANY ADVANCED USERS PLS HELP

 

Sorry for the unnecessary forced humor in Post, you know I learned great deal from Thor in THOR: Ragnorok

I had to hide my pain with humor, I could have wrote in the reality but no one likes that, as did no one like Thor 1 & 2, it does what it was suppose to do to set the stage but

No one like to hear you whining, So sorry for not keeping it professional

Take your good time,

My Toshiba HDD is safe and sound with all my data and

Windows is running too just not in UEFI

Also I have another laptop just in case anything goes wrong

Used this WD drive to get issue sorted nothing important in this drive

It's just not having UEFI GPT is acting my OCD up to the roof

More importantly I don't know what is wrong and that is what is eating me up but I will survive
