Today my laptop froze randomly after already being booted, I held the power button down to reset it then it loaded to the windows start up logo. It appeared to freeze here again, not loading past this point (maybe I got a little impatient). I held the power button down again for another reset, now it won't load past the above error message. Asking for drive cd or usb which I don't have. Please help and advise me on what to do next. How do I get windows working again.

Bluescreen failures (i.e., BSODs) are notoriously difficult to diagnose and to fix -- far beyond what WE typically can do on THIS forum.

That said, the community Win7 forums has a section devoted to diagnosing BSODs. So, your best bet would be to post your problem there: https://www.sevenforums.com/bsod-help-support/

Good Luck
