Hi,
An 0xc000000f error is usually the result of corruption to your Windows operating system installation. The simplest solution would be to restore your system to a state when it functioned correctly. Thankfully Windows RT has built in features that will allow for quick and easy pre-boot recovery. Check out full instructions below:

Before performing a system recovery, make sure the system is charged and is not in a hung state by pressing and holding the power button for 10+ seconds, then attempt to boot the device by pressing the power button for 2-3 seconds. If it will not boot, press and hold the power button for 10+ seconds to ensure that it is off.

1. Hold the volume-UP button and then press the power button for 2-3 seconds.

2. Release the power button while continuing to hold the volume-up button until you see a recovery boot message on the LCD.

3. At this point, you may release the volume-up button and wait for the Windows Recovery Mode to boot.
Follow the onscreen instructions to refresh or reset the device. Resetting the device will restore it to out-of-box condition and typically takes 10 to 15 minutes to complete. Once completed, you will have to go through the Windows initial setup sequence again. Refreshing the device will maintain the your files and settings while attempting to clean problems with the operating system. Refresh can take 30+ minutes to complete.

Once completed your system should be functioning well again. Let us know how it goes!
