Something happened where none of the services seem to start (can't do anything to start them manually, tried) and it will randomly reboot, with a shut down message/timer.
I've tried SFC /scannow and DISM with a few different combinations of /'s. I've never done DISM before so it's new to me. Neither worked, I've also tried an repair install with a windows 10 ISO image, but it's not giving me any option besides a fresh install. Is there a way to force an install to do a repair? It doesn't have an optical drive, so it's a windows ISO on a flash drive from a co worker, not sure anything about it beyond that.
System restore isn't working, it errors out. I've exhausted what I know, he won't do a fresh install because this computer has a piece of audio software on it that's very expensive and he can't get it any more any ways.
Now the computer starts up and appears to be working, there's no network so I can't get online to do anything. After usually about 10 minutes a box pops up and it counts down to an unavoidable restart. I've tried safe mode and safe mode with networking, nothing. I thought maybe the registery had gotten corrupt, so I booted to a BART PE disc and tried coping the one from the backup, but nothing.
He won't do a reinstall because of the audio software, I'm out of ideas, but I know where there's a will there's a way. Any suggestions? He's willing to send it somewhere if he has to.
