Current status of my laptop: Will not run windows and shows the following error

File: \Boot\BCD
Status: 0xc000000f
Info: An error occurred while attempting to read the boot configuration
I have a AsusG71 notebook running Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit.
Some history:
This all started when I plugged in an HDMI cable into my computer to project my screen onto my TV. This was the first time I used my HDMI port so I wasn't expecting anything. When I plugged it in, the image appeared on my TV, but my computer started getting very slow and pretty much froze. I hard rebooted and after that Windows hung on the loading screen (where the logo appears). I was unable to boot to safe mode (at least within a minute or so). After a second reboot, my computer recommended me go to recovery tools, where I tried a repair, which didn't work. I then ran a Chkdsk /r, which took a good 30 hours. After the Chkdsk ran, I restarted the computer bringing me to my current predicament - Windows Boot Manager.
System Recovery:
Since it instructed me to boot from my DVD, I did so and tried the repair features.
After loading it immediately gives me several messages stating: ""The file or directory C:\Boot is corrupt and unreadable. Please run Chkdsk utility."
Startup Repair returns "Startup Repair cannot repair this computer automatically"
The detailed report gives me something like:

Additional Chkdsks do not work due to the volume being write protected.
Running Bootrec /fixmbr and /fixboot are successful, but /rebuildbcd returns that "The file or directory is corrupted and unreadable. It successfully scans the windows installation at C:\Windows thought.
Attempting a sfc /scannow returns that "There is a system repair pending which requires reboot to complete. Restart Windows and run sfc again". However, this is always the case, regardless if I actually am repairing anything or not.
Can any think of what is the problem. All I wanted to do was watch some TV and now I'm faced with growing computer problems - yuck @_@.
