So far your advice is the only thing that has been able to advance me to a screen that has word troubleshooting. I am in advanced options now and looking at:

system restore

system image recovery

startup repair

command poiny

Auefi Firmware settings

startup settings

what now? I am on a VAIO ultrabook running 7 I think

If anything doesn't work, restore your system (that is what I did and it works).
