I need help on something!!! I got an error that says recovery, "The operating system couldnt be loaded because a critical system driver is missing or contains errors. Error 0xc000000f. ACPI.sys. I heard to get an USB but I don't have one should I just buy one? Would it even work even though it's not mine?

Hi Relic,

Boot into Windows RE and run SFC /Scannow with output logging, See this article for instructions.

Copy the output log to your USB stick, transfer it to another computer*,* and share the log on OneDrive.

-or-

Simply do a clean (custom) installation of Windows by booting from the USB disk. How to: Perform a Custom Installation of Windows 11 and Windows 10 or - Microsoft Community.

One of the benefits of performing a Custom Install, your Windows installation can be archived. After setup is complete, you can recover personal files and application data from the Windows.old folder.

    Hey, how you doing?

    Thank you for contacting us and welcome to the Microsoft Community.

    My name is Vitor. I'm an Independent Advisor and I'll be glad to help you today.

    ACPI.sys is the ACPI Driver for NT, it's a System driver and is not the true cause of the crash and it being faulted by possibly another device driver or form of hardware.

    Disable or uninstall your Avast antivirus and check if the BSOD persists.

    Thanks

    Vitor S.
