While not always the direct cause, a failing hard drive can certainly contribute to the 0xc00000f error. Bad sectors or physical damage to the drive can corrupt the boot files. Running a diagnostic test on your hard drive (using manufacturer-provided tools or third-party utilities) is recommended to rule this out.
