I think my bios is corrupt?

Hey guys!

When i try to boot to windows i get a error message about failing to boot into windows
File:\windows\system32\winload.exe

Error code: 0xc000000f

This is on Win 10 and ive tried resetting windows where it reinstalls windows but keeps your files. Now this problem only started happening when i tried to boot into safe mode but accidently pressed F11 which should take me to the boot menu on my MSI motherboard however it crashed on me when it did this so I turned my computer off an on and this is when I ran into this issue

However when trying to go into my BIOS options to change boot priority it allways freezes up on me. Also looking around at different options in my bios they either dont show anything or once again freezes and i have to restart which makes me think corrupted bios.

Ive tried ressetting the cmos using the button on the IO backplate and jumper but no luck. Ive also got dual bios and its doing it on both bios so i don't know what to try other than trying to flash my bios?

Any help would be much appreciated guys

thanks, ive looked up the error code and it allways points to missing boot manager thingy or issues with windows files. Ive tried reinstalling windows with no luck.
With my bios acting up and keeps crashing tells me its the bios?

For example this happens when trying to access different boot devices.
it crashes as soon as i get to this screen. Normally shows different boot devices
Also when i cycle across the boot devices at the top it has weird symbols and stuff

Have you tried reflashing your bios? Check out Coderush's FTK for this.

More often than not the manufacturers built in flashing utility is the issue. This is especially the case with ASUS EZ flash or whatever it's called. It doesn't always reflash all bios regions so if one or more region is corrupt you're stuffed. Try FTK or an alternative flashing tool.
