Sorry for your pain. If you can boot from DVD or USB drive you could try Boot Repair Disk. I have used it on various occasions to get me out of trouble. I can't guarantee it will fix your problem though unfortunately.

That may fix your booting issue, but not really sure what may have caused it. Maybe back up your disk drive, to preserve any files and data, then wipe and re-install the operating system. Then you could copy your files and data back from the backup drive if needed.

Of course that all takes time, only you can decide how necessary your files and data are. Are you running some version of MS Windows?

[GoofyOne]

Do you have any friends or family nearby that have a pc and could create a bootable DVD or USB drive for you?

Do you have any friends or family nearby that have a pc and could create a bootable DVD or USB drive for you?

found a usb key 4gb ins size wiped it and downloading it from a chromebook

Red Screens of Death often mean its a Graphics card error.

I can't read the error code, the reflection is in the exactly wrong spot, what does it say after stop code?

what make/model laptop?
Does windows work?

On another PC, download the Windows 10 media creation tool and use it to make a win 10 installer on USB << handy boot drive if nothing else

it was a lenovo and it said if i remember right hdd is corrupt or something It also wont boot to usb for some reason

 

[Colif]

so even choosing USB via the F12 menu at boot won't start from it?

if you can't get it to boot off USB you might need to get it repaired

I don't see rsod very often.

Looks fake. Probably from some scareware/malware or something.

"Hardware is most likely to be damaged or overwritten."?
How do you overwrite hardware?

 

[Colif]

Well, hdd can be overwritten right?

Windows errors often don't use the best language. Some are difficult to understand, like the GPT error you get during windows setup if your PC has MBR is written by aliens.

its not fake, rsod do exist that look like that. You just can't find many of them on Google

I think your hdd probably needs to be replaced (like PC) as if its 7 years old and still on original drive and has been getting laggy, I think hdd is dying. Its had a good life, they don't last forver.

 

[MEDIC5250]

its probably time to replace ig
