Error 0xc00000e9 ; Computer Won't Start

i have a dell inspiron Laptop and I'm running (or trying to run) windows 7 home 64 bit

1.)One morning windows would not start all or a sudden (i'm guessing due to an automatic windows update), it would only let me go into the recovery mode.

2.)I tried several of the recovery options to no avail until i finally got one to work.

3.)After that windows was working but was EXTREMELY slow despite my best efforts

4.)I decided to do a complete factory restore using my restore disks (the ones you make when you first get the computer)

5.) this worked perfectly and windows seemed to be running great until I restarted, and on the restart it took me to a black and white screen that gives me the 3 instructions (none of which help). the status on that screen says 0xc000000e9

6.) the only thing i can do is boot to the recovery disk and reformat again, and the same thing then happens: windows works great until i turn off or restart, then I'm back at the black and white screen.
