I'm really stressed out right now because my PC just stopped working. Last night, I heard it shut down unexpectedly, and I thought it was just a power flicker since everything else turned back on quickly. Today, when I tried to play some games, I was greeted with a blue screen of death (BSOD) showing an error code 0xc000098. I attempted to enter recovery mode by pressing F1, but it just loops back to the BSOD. I also tried running a USB setup, which briefly worked for about five minutes before I encountered the BSOD again. I didn't install anything new or change any parts recently, so I'm completely at a loss as to why this happened. Now I'm worried about being stuck without my PC for the entire weekend until I can get it checked. Any advice on what I can do to fix this would be greatly appreciated, as I'm feeling quite overwhelmed right now.

It sounds like a tough situation! Sometimes, a Windows update can mess things up, especially if it happened while your PC was on. I recommend checking out this video that walks through the process to diagnose and potentially fix the issue: [Fixing Error 0xc000098](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fK38T6WVpGY&t=59s). It might help you get back on track! Good luck!
I hear you; those BSODs can be a nightmare! One thing to check is if you can access the Minidump files. They’re crash logs that can help figure out what's causing the BSOD. If you manage to get into Windows or safe mode, look for them in C:WindowsMinidump. If you find them, you can zip and upload them for analysis. That way, we can see exactly what went wrong!
Have you tried booting into safe mode? This could help you troubleshoot the issue without running into the BSOD immediately. To boot into safe mode, you typically need to start your PC and then press F8 repeatedly before Windows begins loading. It may take a few tries, but it can be a lifesaver! Let me know if you need more guidance on this!
