At least you should have a "clean" computer that is problem free.
Good luck!

just finished the clean install, computer working fine now.
Thanks for your help and time, hopefully windows 8 will be easier to repair if you can't boot :P
Thank you again and good luck :)

i am only replying cos i encountered the exact same bsod stop message as you on my friend's laptop but solved it by running system restore option from start-up repair options.

i am hoping that this may be helpful to others who might get this c0000135 stop message by having done the followings:

- i removed the trial-expired norton anti-virus
- i removed superantispyware free edition
- install firefox from a usb drive because IE and Chrome were problematic... couldn't get them to load results of searching for "ms security essential" (windows update was running all the while)
- downloaded and installed MSE and udpated it and after a quick scan found 19 infections: 18 severe alert levels and 1 medium web-browser hacker or somthing. i chose to remove all of those 19 infections.
- restarted as MSE required for completion of removal of infections
- just when desktop loaded, MSE asked again for another restart to complete removal of infections.
AND THAT IS WHEN I ENCOUNTERED THE BSOD STOP MESSAGE.

i first tried to system restore to Jan 01, 2012 and it failed, that is, system restore was not completed. i tried it again with the most recent system restore point and it now works fine but unfortunately with its 19 infections.

system spec: lenovo windows 7 home premium 64bit.

my friends lenovo laptop is now working fine. backed up all data to an external hdd and then restore OS to initial state using one-key recovery button. re-install MSE after removing macfee and now it works perfectly. already downloaded and installed more than 40 windows updates. also installed tuneup utilities 2011 among other stuff. hope this helps a bit.
