Hi.

Ok, so everything was going ok, playing Test Drive Unlimited, then suddenly, the PC froze.

After this, I was unable to get into Windows, just stuck at the splash screen, Windows 8, Windows 7, same thing, then getting the error 0xc0000225.

I was even unable to get into the Windows 8 repair. So I just sat twiddling my thumbs whilst it sat on the Windows 8 boot screen, and it eventually, probably after about half an hour got to Windows 8 welcome screen, after entering my password, it slowly loading.

First thing I looked at was task manager, then My Computer, I noticed one of my drives was stuck at 100%, and then in My Computer it was unavailable??

I'm totally baffled as to what could have gone wrong? I dare not restart Windows because I might not be able to get into it.

Is there any diagnostic software or other applications I can place onto a USB stick and boot from?

Thanks.
