Here are the top troubleshooting methods for addressing Error Code 0x00000002:

Method One: Run a Malware Scan

The easiest option to start with is a malware scan. Any anti-virus software available on the PC will able to perform a full system scan on your PC.

If none of the previous methods work and you’ve noticed that the error has only started to appear recently, you may like to perform a system restore. A system restore can be completed to restore your PC to an earlier point. First, open the Start Menu and search for ‘System Restore.’

On the System Restore page you will be taken through a series of steps to choose a restore point (if available) and your PC will then be restored to an earlier point.

Method Four: Check Your Hardware

If the above software resolutions cannot help solve the error, you may need to perform a couple of tests to check the integrity of your hardware. The first test will be for your hard drive. To perform the test, open the Start menu. Search for CMD, then right click it and run as administrator. In the newly opened black command window, type in chkdsk /f and press enter. Your hard drive will now be scanned for any errors.

If the hard drive is fine, the next step will be to test your RAM. To test your RAM you’ll need to use a tool called memtest86 – this tool can be downloaded online for free at memtest.org.

If any errors come up from memtest86 or from your hard drive scan, you will need to replace the damaged hardware.
