Piv - new poster here (15+ years experience network and computer
troubleshooting) and will gladly defer to anyone else who can also offer some
assistance. Not much to go on, but here are a few suggestion to help you
diagnose the problem.
1. Sounds like you have an auto restart loop going on, on the windows
advanced options menu where you selected "last known good", highlight
"disable auto restart on system failure" and then note the Blue screen info.
2. Reboot into safe mode but select perform a system restore when prompted:
Perform a system restore electing the restore data point listed as
"software distribution services" on Feb. 13.
After restart immediately turn off automatic updates, then manually run the
microsoft or windows update and uncheck all recommended updates except one
(note the id before installing), install and restart. Continue this until you
encounter the BSOD again and you will have found your culprit, you can then
uninstall this in safe mode via add/remove programs making sure the show
updates box at the top is checked. Once ID'ed more info may be available on
that update.
I realize this is laborious and I am hopefull someone else will offer some
easier repair for this issue, otherwise post back and let me know how it
goes.
