[SOLVED] Notebook in reboot loop

gpeters · Apr 11, 2015

My notebook in reboot loop from windows update. I have followed the instructions here and the logs are below and also attached CBS.zip

When I'm logged in to the computer at one point it reboots and if I don't login it reboots every 5 minutes. If logged in the reboot reminder pops up where I can postpone the reboot. But if I walk away it does reboot on its own at one point (not sure how long). If I get up in the morning it is in a reboot loop.

I'm not able to attached the CBS zip file so I have uploaded here

Here is the content of the log file generated by SFCFix:
