Boot Error

Leading up to this my computer began slowing down where there was little to none responsiveness, so I had to manually shut it down because there wasn't really much I could do on it. During the slow responses I had tried to download an antivirus software (AVG Antivirus) and managed to do so and scanned but during the middle of scans it would stop and not do anything, and since it wasn't doing anything I shut it down again. Now when I tried to start it up again today I was greeted with this message and "Error code: 0xc000000e" immediately after the manufacture logo. I tried searching for a solution for this problem and found some solutions others had shared and tried them myself but had no success myself as I've tried what solution that thisperson gave to had a similar problem but no success as up till the part where Bootrec /fixbootis needed to be typed into command prompt it says "element not found" in response and from then out I haven't been able to do anything since, I'm looking for a solution that wouldn't result in any data loss as I have some files I don't want to loose.

    Ok, you can skip those steps. It does seem like there is a keyboard defect and might need to be replaced.

    Looks like a stuck key.

    Try resetting your BIOS defaults:

    If that does not work and you have a desktop computer...

    Power down

    Unplug it

    Open the system unit

    Remove the CMOS CR-2032 chip

    Plug it in, start the machine, wait 10 seconds

    Power down, unplug it, reinstall the CMOS CR-2032 chip

    Plug it in again, power up

    Boot up again, then try booting from the install disk.
