Numerous errors. Windows 7 will not load recovery from disc.
Okay I hope I can explain this well.
So yesterday I was on the computer and it just quit. Shut down and restarted without warning and flashed a blue screen with a sunshine ray type screen. Then I got a Windows Error Recovery and I choose to start windows normally as this has never happened to me. When I choose that I got a blue screen that a problem was detected quoted STOP: 0x0000007e. I managed to get into the Advanced Boot Options but no option would work. It would only just recycle a restart. Then I would get the error in windows boot manager about 0xc0000428. Windows cannot verify the digital signature for this file. I have put in a recovery disc that was made and a genuine windows 7 disc and I get the option to boot from disc but it just takes me to the digital signature error.
I have pulled the hard drive out and put into an external case and hooked up to my laptop. Everything is still on my hard drive. I have ran the SMART tests in the BIOS menu and they all passed. I have taken out the ram and put it back in. I do not get any beep codes or anything. I read on here to try the Windows Defender Offline disc. I burned a disc off my laptop which is just a few weeks old and clean of malware and viruses. When I put disc in all I got was a the blue symbol (4 squares in a square) and it just sits and goes no where. Thinking there might be something wrong with the DVD drive itself I tried an external usb dvd with same results. I even made a copy on a flash drive with the same results except shortly after loading I now get an all blue screen that says Recovery Your PC needs to be repaired. An unexpected error has occured. Error Code 0xc0000229 and so on with the F8 for startup settings or enter to try again. Well nothing happens when I choose F8 or press enter. I have to restart the system with a hard reboot to get anything to happen again.
I have also went into the BIOS and reloaded defaults.
Not sure what else to do. I am not 100% tech savvy but I would say I have about 75% knowledge on the systems. Any help and guidance would be much appreciated.
I have searched out the problem but cannot find anything else that repeats my problem. A lot of people are able to load from a disc but I cannot.

Thanks!
