Hi folks, just had a friend whose PC keeps on booting automatically into Automatic Repair on Windows 8 and just won't start up to Windows 8. When he turns it off and on again it just keeps going in a loop - Automatic Repair. I've tried chkdsk /r - ing it and it took about 2-3 hours but still keeps going in a loop.

The error log message that pops up is: c:\windows\system32\logfiles\srt\srttrail.txt

We eventually tried "Refreshing the PC" but it just came back with "There was a problem refreshing your PC. No changes were made."

This looks like a similar thread: HERE

Any ideas please?

Thanks.
