Stop: c0000218 (registry file failure)
The registry cannot load the hive (file) :/systemrootsystem32configSOFTWARE or its log or alternate.
IT is corrupt, absent, or not weitable
Begining dump of physical memory

I tried recovery console and fixboot but no luckk I also tried last known good configuration but no luck. Thanks for any help. I went into recpvery console and ran chkdsk and it found nothing wrong, I also changed the Ram with some other ram I had no luck there either.
