Common Microsoft Error Codes
Microsoft Surface devices display specific error screens and recovery messages when storage or the operating system fails. Here are the most common ones we see.
Surface UEFI Screen (No Windows Boot)The Surface boots to a red or black UEFI screen instead of Windows — the drive or OS may have failed.
INACCESSIBLE_BOOT_DEVICEWindows blue screen indicating the OS can’t access the SSD — common after firmware updates on Surface devices.
CRITICAL_PROCESS_DIEDA critical Windows process crashed — often due to corrupted system files or failing internal storage.
UNMOUNTABLE_BOOT_VOLUMEWindows can’t mount the boot partition — file system corruption on the Surface’s internal SSD.
KERNEL_DATA_INPAGE_ERRORData couldn’t be read from the SSD — indicates potential storage failure.
BitLocker Recovery ScreenSurface is requesting a BitLocker recovery key — can appear after drive errors, firmware updates, or hardware changes.
Automatic Repair LoopWindows keeps restarting into repair mode — the SSD may have corruption that can’t be auto-repaired.
Surface Won't Turn On / Black ScreenNo display after pressing power — can indicate SSD failure, firmware corruption, or hardware failure.
BAD_SYSTEM_CONFIG_INFOWindows registry or boot configuration is corrupted — often occurs alongside storage degradation.
Operating System Not FoundUEFI passed but no OS was detected — the internal SSD may have failed.
Surface Overheating / Fan Always RunningSurface devices use fanless or single-fan designs. When the fan runs constantly at full speed or the device overheats and throttles, it may indicate a failed fan, blocked vents, or thermal paste degradation inside the sealed chassis.
Seeing one of these errors? Don’t keep restarting — continued use of a failing drive can make data recovery harder or impossible. Call us at 703.635.4265 or schedule a repair for fast diagnosis.

I found Mount Vernon Computer Repair in the mist of a crisis with my work laptop. I had accidentally caused water damage and was panicked that I’d not only destroyed my laptop but lost all my important files. Working with Daryl was great. He called me back promptly, examined and diagnosed my computer all in the same day. He runs a very honest business and explained that the damage was so extensive it would be more affordable to replace the laptop. Luckily my data could be saved which was a relief. I work for a non profit that assists our wounded service members and we work tirelessly to ensure 94 cents of every dollar goes to our mission. Though his price was very fair, my organization had decided that it was in our best interest to wait on purchasing any data recovery services. When I explained the situation to Daryl he researched our organization and decided to donate his time and services to save my files. I was speechless at his generosity. He single-handedly recovered all my files and allowed me to continue working without missing a beat. I had all my files back within less than 24 hours!! Daryl is very knowledgeable, professional, a pleasure to work with and a great guy. I really cannot thank him enough for his donation and generosity. I am so glad I called Mount Vernon Computer Repair! Daryl saved the day and I would absolutely recommend him to anyone needing help with computer set up and/or repairs. Thank you Daryl!!Read full review
