Good, you have googled the problem

, but what of the results you found and solutions you tried/attempted?

It seems like that kind of error is due to four possible causes:

malware/virus
hard disk filesystem corruption
Windows Update malfunctioning (which I personally believe is caused by one of the two above)
defective hardware (like RAM or motherboard or hard disk)

See:

The "general" and "basic" procedure is always the same:

boot from alternate means/OS (Windows PE or Linux CD/DVD/USB)
backup any important data
scan the system for viruses/malware
verify (from a suitable Windows 7 install DVD/USB)filesystem integrity (CHKDISK)
do (from a suitable Windows 7 install DVD/USB) a "startup repair"
if it boots repeat checks on filesystem and files integrity (CHKDISK, SFC) and for viruses/malware
if the above don't work re-install Windows 7 in a "parallel" install and see if it boots/works normally
if it still doesn't work it is likely that there is a (more or less serious) hardware problem that you must solve before attempting again

If the "parallel" install works and you cannot repair the "original" one, then you can only (your choice) either re-install Windows 7 (and all apps) from scratch and restore the backed up data or install the apps to this "parallel" install.
