Things to check, Make sure you are doing, Work down this list
1) setting BIOS.
2) doing Step 11 in
UEFI Bootable USB Flash Drive - Create in Windows
3) booting DVD/USB in UEFI mode.
4) using a USB 2.0 port.
5) using Windows 7 x64.
Where do you buy your Windows 7 x64 DVD from?

Did you read the full discussion I had in the Comments section when I was editing the boot file in Step 11 of UEFI Bootable USB Flash Drive - Create in Windows?
It took me a half day to sort it out getting very similar errors, then suddenly when I moved the file back up a directory as suggested by Saltgrass it worked. I think the tutorial was changed after that.

The second time I made the flash drive I didn't move the boot folder I created a boot folder in th UEFI folder with the microsoft folder and I then put the bootx64.efi file in it. Then I ejected the flash drive and plugged it into the windows 8 laptop I then tried to boot the computer and bam same error. I have tried to search for this file online but have had little success
