How to Factory Reset my Alienware M14x R2

Hi there,
I've been experiencing issues with my Alienware computer (along with other various things) and have decided to Factory Reset my M14x R2 that runs on Windows 8.1.
I have been trying to do this by using the 'Update and Recovery' section. However, when I use either the 'Refresh your PC without affecting your files' or the 'Remove everything and reinstall Windows,' it then fails to do so and proceeds to tell me that;

Your PC needs to be repaired
The application or operating system couldn't be located because a required file is missing or contains errors.

File: \windows\system32\winload.efi
Error Code: 0xc0000001

You'll need to use the recovery tools on your installation media. If you don't have any installation media (like a disc or USB device) contact your system administrator or PC manufacturer. 

I've also tried a Factory Reset via the Alien Respawn center, but I have received the same message. 

What should I do? 
Can you help me please. 
Thank-you.
-Ellie.
