System working fine but reboots to system restore

Hello,

I will try to explain this as best as I can so if you need any more information please ask and I will gladly answer.

I have built 11 computers, all containing the EXACT same hardware and software. I install windows 7(64bit), all the drivers for each component, and activated the copy of windows. The pc will run completely fine running any program I ask it to. The problem does not happen until I reboot the computer, now this is not always on the first reboot. These computers could last a few days and then I reboot and it all breaks. When I randomly reboot the system it will boot up showing problems and asking for a system restore. So I do the system restore and reinstall a few drivers and the same problem will persist.

I eventually get fed up with the whole process and decide to completely reinstall Windows thinking maybe I could have done something wrong(been doing this for 15 years no problem but it happens). After a completely random(as far as I can tell) amount of time and reboots the system will do it again. I am completely stumped on this issue and could really use the help. I have managed to get 2 working for a few weeks now but they hard bent cpu pins from the factory and I straightened them out. The other ones I have checked and they are fine(so it seems).

The System is running an ASUS P8Z77-v PRO motherboard, EVGA Nvidia 650 TI graphics card, i7-3770 CPU(may be another i7 but all the ones I have been using have been this, so it is safe to assume that is the one I am using), pci serial port, National Instruments sound input card, 16Gb DDR3 1333 Corsair XMS3 ram, Corsair TX850 PSU.

I have a fairly high knowledge of PC's and troubleshooting but with this problem I am completely stumped. Any help would be GREATLY appreciated.

I apologize if you see this across the internet, I am trying to seek help from any place I can get it.
 
No overclocking on these systems. Roughly factory default. I will see if I can get them to do scans of memory and Hard drive.
 
That is very interesting. What is the hard drive? Any errors before the shutdown completes? There could be a problem with the hard drive. I would really like to know if you can get a more specific message when Windows wants to restore.

I would start with a hard drive scan.
