Please help pc died.

[Mr Eagle]

So i was just doing my normal thing i was in teamspeak speaking to a few friends then my pc blue screened. It said i had a page error in a non page area. I then was looking on my ipad ways to fix this issue and it was just going round in circles. Then i restarted my pc to see if that would do anything and it popped up on my screen no operating system found please remove the harddrives with no os and ctrl +alt +del to restart. Ive looked up about it and didn't seem to find a solution my pc was custom built by a company so it didn't come with a disk and i dont have money to buy one does anyone have any suggestions on how to fix this ?

Could be a virus. If not I would get in touch with the company you bought it off and ask for an operating system.

Also check if your hard drive is loose.

It's not a virus.

Unplug all your hardrives /ssds that do not contain an operating system and leave only the drive in with windows on it, go into your bios reset it to default and then select the drive to boot from as the drive you left plugged in the computer, if it doesn't boot after that get back to me.

Ok I done this and the same message comes up no os found try disconnecting drives that don't contain a os

Alright then something went wrong with your install I don't think there is much else you can do you're going to need to reinstall windows if you can't even get a boot.

If you have data you don't want to lose on your windows drive you're going to need to plug it into another PC and get the files off it you want to keep before doing a fresh install because you're going to have to format your drive.

Alright mate thanks for the response I think my ssd has corrupted my os so I'm going to go to PC world and ask what I can buy to fix it because I have the Windows 8 product key just no disc. And the only other PC I have is a Mac:

If you have the product key all you need to fix it is a USB drive, (Personally I would replace the primary hard drive). It can be downloaded from here https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows8 
Just put your USB drive (Larger than 8GB) in the PC and follow the instructions on the program. (Obviously you need a working PC to do this)
Once complete restart your PC, if it does not boot to the USB automatically then enter bios and select the USB as the boot device and install as normal.

I tried installing it on my mac onto a usb but it didn't work. The same message still displays and i believe this is because my mac assigns a different file type to it.

I am unsure how you made any progress with this on a MAC as OSX does not run executable files (.exe). You need to use a windows machine to do this, I suggest you go to a friends place to sort it if you do not have access to any other windows machines at home.

To be honest @Mr Eagle it looks like a fairly systematic hard drive failure.

The first error is a paging issue to a non-paged area (Non-paged area is essentially your RAM). Information was no doubt paged from your hard drive to your RAM and crashed with a blue screen. By the sounds of the later non-system boot error I'd say your RAM is fine and its definitely the HHD.

The problem is now, it looks like your GPT (GUID Partition Table) is corrupt or whatever the equivalent to that is for SSDs. Which is why your system can't read any of the information on your drive, and its possible that plugging it into another machine will fail as well if it is corrupt. 

The next best step is as mentioned by people above, plug the drive into another Windows PC and see if you can map the drive and get any data off, but I warn you that there is a large possibility that all the information on the drive is unrecoverable, however, for non-SSD drives, in the past I have used: https://www.grc.com/sr/spinrite.htm. SpinRite might allow you low level access to your drive to recover critical files, but I've never used it with an SSD before so no idea if its compatible or not.

If you do manage to get any data off that drive, I would suggest sending it back to the manufacturer for replace if it is in warranty, if not, you've got yourself a very expensive paperweight, just make sure not to use it again, even if you think its working okay again.

Good luck to you , I know from personal experience that losing a hard drive can be critical, after I lost 6 years of photo's from my wife and my early years in marriage, which was a significant pain in the arse. (I was 1 month away from buying a NAS for backing up that drive when it failed too...)

Oh and a side note for everyone: Always, Always, Always Backup your critical files and data. It's a pain in the arse to do it, but when that failure hits, you'll be thanking the day you did it.

Thanks everyone for the help. Honestly i really appreciate it, i had to go buy a new os usb and i just installed windows 10. It was kind of an easy but pricey fix. But thanks guys for trying to help me fix the issue.
