Windows 7 32bit on Dell E5500 BSOD on startup

When we boot up normally or in any safe mode we get a BSOD saying
process1_initialization_failed. I've attempted the startup repair and it is
unable to solve the problem. I do not have any system restore points that
it is finding. When I try performing SFC /Scannow it tells me that a repair
is pending and I have to reboot first. Every reboot there after does the
same thing. Is there any way to force windows 7 to perform a repair in the
way that windows XP could? Where it keeps the registry intact but just
reinstalls all the system files. Any ideas? Hardware diagnostics come up
clean.

Thanks,

Dave

Please post the Entire Error Code
Thanks
Russ

I fixed it with the system restore points. They showed up after trying it a
few times. Any ideas what would have caused this?
