Solve Error Code: 0xc0000001 in Winodws 8
Windows 8 Blue Screen of Death (BSOD) or Error Code: 0xc0000001 sometime occurs without any specific issue. You can’t be sure what actually caused it. Be it a system issue or some driver problem, you may end up seeing this screen when you restart your computer.
To solve this blue screen error in windows 8, turn off your computer and when you power it up again, immediately press SHIFT + F8 key you will be resented with following screen:
Click on “See advanced repair options” and from the next screen, choose “Troubleshoot”:
On the next screen, choose “Advanced Options”
In Advanced Options, choose “Windows Startup Settings”
There you will find a button “Restart”. Click on this button and allow the wizard to complete all the steps. Note that it will repair your computer without making any changes to it. Once the process is completed, your computer will automatically restart and you should be able to boot windows now.
Still facing same error?
If you have followed all the above mentioned steps but got no luck in booting up your windows then probably your cause of the error is more solid and cannot be restored with mere settings reset. But don’t worry, it can still be solved using windows recovery options. For this you should have a recovery/installation disc or USB Flash Drive.
You can create one using this tutorial. And follow the recovery options, given in the link, to get your windows back.

If your windows is working fine then you can also boot into Advanced Setup using the following method.
Open the charms bar (move your mouse pointer to bottom left corner) and click on Settings and then Change PC Setting.
There from the General menu, Look for the options, Advance Startup.
Once you click Restart Now, you will be welcomed with Advanced Start-up.

If you are saying that you are no longer able to boot into recovery mode, here is how to do it.
Move your mouse pointer to the bottom right corner i.e. open charms bar and then in Settings > Change PC Settings.
There from the General menu, look for Advance Restart option and click on Restart Now.
Excellent post. I was checking continuously this blog and I’m impressed! Very helpful info specially the last part
I care for such info much. I was seeking this certain info for a very long time. Thank you and best of luck.
while formating computer windows 8 i have faced error oxc0000001 then the computer dont format what should i do
Use some other boot utility such as HirenBoot CD, burn it on a disc or flash drive, use it to format your drive and then install Windows 8, maybe that would help.

When the initial blue screen comes up, I press shift+f8 but nothing happens. It will only take me to the startup settings page with the 9 choices
You have to press SHIFT+F8 when your computer boots up i.e. power on. If you are doing that then read below:
Try keep holding the Shift key only, sometimes that also works Julia or like I said earlier:

Hi, Having a similar problem!
I recently bought a windows 8 laptop, but when i updated windows the switchable graphics stopped working, I tried reinstalling the switchable graphics and now the pc will not turn on!
holding shift stops the laptop from doing anything, and when I release shift it sends me to the “your pc didnt start, restarting” and then back to error code 0xc0000001… shift +f8 has no effect either.
My pc is a dell inspiron 15r 8gb with i5 processor, it arrived three days ago and right now its just a very expensive desk ornament, please can you suggest how to get to the repair menu.
I still have the blue screen shift+ f8 don’t work
Hello,
I use windows 8 on a flash drive,on my laptop i have only linux installed so when it boots from the flash in order to load windows I`m not able to reach the troubleshooting screen by pressing “shift+F8“.
Any other option?
Thank you in advance for your answer.

my laptop got error code:0xc00001, use the formula also cannot solve the problem…i need how to do now?
I’m sorry Anny didn’t get what you meant by “use the formula”, are you able to boot into recovery setup while booting?

My Win8 system is bsoding on start-up and I already know why, it’s between two pieces of software Avast or Realtek HD audio drivers, too bad I can’t get into Windows to rectify this, this method doesn’t work at all (holding shift + pressing F8) my guess is old hardware doesn’t accept double commands aka shift+F8 in the boot sequence… so who’s the genius I have to thank for this awesome change, I mean c’mon what was wrong/broken with plain old F8!
Hi, I also experienced the same problem in my asus k55v laptop, i tried using shift+f8 but it didn’t work, also where can i find the charms bar? i tried moving my mouse but the mouse pointer wont show up, hence there’s no way i can move the mouse pointer to the bottom left corner.. what is always popping in the screen is the error message..
This moving-mouse-pointer-thing-to-the-bottom-left-corner is done in windows. IF you are at start screen then charms bar wont show up there, which error message you are currently seeing?
The error message says “after multiple tries, the operating system on your pc failed to start so it needs to be repaired” error code:0×0000001 where it gives me 3 options, press enter to try again, press f8 start up and ESC for UEFI Firmware Settings.
How did you solve your laptop issue?? My laptop also is like that, it keeps appearing “error code”.
Mine has just done the same without giving me the 3rd option

Ps: I am not a computer-expert and I’m not a native speaker, so it would be nice if somebody could explain it as simple as possible…
And I can’t boot my Computer….
Your computer doesn’t start or it doesn’t post?
Where are you stuck? Does your windows load?
