lsass error 0xc0000001

I get an lsass error 0xc0000001 and it says:Security Accounts Manager initialization failed because of the following error: A device attached to the system is not functioning.
Error Status: 0xc0000001.
Please click OK to shut down this system and reboot into Safe Mode, check event log for more detailed information.I've try to go into safe mode and have gotten the same.I looked it up on MS site and I can't get to the start page or log in as admin in safe to fix it any work arounds?I have tried the repair console too and it pops up and freezes the install;I'd do a fresh install but I don't want to lose all my programs and spend days resetting everything.
