You'll need to reinstall windows, also another posible cause is your hdd is dying

Righto thanks guys for the help

Actually, it says the BCD is at fault. Boot to a recovery disc, open a CMD window and run BOOTREC /REBUILDBCD then reboot.

I would launch a windows PE (Lots of those .ISOs on the internet) to check for bad blocks (crystaldiskmark) or if I need data which you apparently don't need

then I would clean install windows if all is fine
