In order to resolve the matter at first, you have to know more about the error code in detail. Basically Windows Error Code 0XC000014C occurs due to several factors that include corrupted boot configuration data issues which happens due to power outage as well as incorrect shutdown process. But don't worry you can easily resolve this issue by following some steps.
Solutions to Troubleshoot Windows Error Code 0XC000014C
Solution 1: Removal of the Windows hardware
Solution 2: Perform a boot process of the last known good configuration feature
I hope you will be able to solve the issue.
when the RTC coin cell goes dead.
the boot order goes dead (wrong)
and is not a bad HDD, it is a bad battery.
if the drive is missing in boot order on any PC made the COIN is next, ()below 2.9vdc is BAd)
if still dead new coin , the drive is dead.
if boot files are corrupted next
then that means 99% the HDD has bad sectors
and SMART told you that and you should not ignore SMART ever. it did not lie to you.
bad sectors is a cancer that neither you or I can cure ever, not replacing the drive first.
c6 PARAMETER NOT 0 MEANS A BAD HDD IS THERE.
NO IF'S AND';S OR BUT'S, BY DESIGN.

Its time you backup your data and contact Dell to get your hard drive replaced (in case your computer is in warranty) else order for a new hard drive compatible with your computer.

Your hard drive is defective or the circuit (system-board) that controls it. It's cheaper to replace the hard drive then the system-board to see if that's the problem. If it's under warranty Dell will replace either parts.
