you are probably going to have to use the reset switch to even get it to boot and reinstall windows, use a paperclip in the Reset 'Hole'

Could be a failing drive if a system restore fails. You can try a full clean setup of Windows using a boot disk. You would have to restore your files from a backup though since the best way to install Windows is to first delete existing partitions and create new ones. if system is in warranty, contact Lenovo first.
