EDIT
TL;DR:
BSOD on Lenovo Laptop. BIOS gave me 2 different reasons:
error code 0xc0000185
EFI Hard Drive (WDC WD10SPZX-24Z10) Boot Failed
Took laptop to a local repair shop. Guy said HD messed up his diagnostic testing machine, HD is shot and he can't recover any data. Told me to ship it to a specialist company in California for anywhere between $200-800.
He wants $150 to swap out the old HD for a used Solid State HD and diagnostic testing, plus parts/labor and I'll get my old HD back too.
I HAVE NOT PAID HIM YET.
He still has my laptop.
