I doubt that it's the Zero day bug. The purpose of that bug isn't to disable a computer, it's the opposite. The bug is designed to gain unwanted access to computers of specific organizations. If you can't boot normally, then it's highly possible that something else is going on, which could also be malicious.
I'd start by putting some virus/malware scanners on a Flash drive. I'd recommend Kaspersky TDSSKiller, Malwarebytes Anti-malware, HitmanPro. Boot to Safe Mode. Clear your temp files by navigating to Start\ All Programs (or just Programs)\ Accessories\ System Tools\ Disk Cleanup. Delete everything that's selected by default in Disk Cleanup. Run a virus scan if you can. Hopefully your virus scanner can scan in Safe Mode. If not, you need to be using one that can. Install and run TDSSKiller. Install and run Malwarebytes. Install and run any others. Hopefully that will clean it up. Unfortunately, when an infection gets to the point that it won't allow normal boot, the infection might have already done irreversible damage. If you do get it booting normally again, I'd scan it with every virus/malware/spyware/rootkit scanner you can download. Only way to be 100% sure is to format and reinstall.

If I do need to reinstall...in the restore and recovery ap...can I use the "fix" option, or do I need to reinstall everything? Will I need to reload the personal files from backup after I re-install Windows?

You can try the Fix option. But there's no telling whether it will work or not. And even if it does allow boot again, there's no telling whether the issue is actually gone. But it may work.
It depends on your method of reinstall, whether it will retain data or not. I would backup all data regardless.

I agree with Fish. Always encrypt that local backup though.
