    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

    This way works for me: I go to Troubleshoot > Advanced Options > Start up settings and then go to Safe Mode.. Then allow it to reboot for several times in my case 4 times just make sure to plug your device.. I think this is cause by incompatible windows update to my win8. Hope this solution helps if not then -_-
