Repeating Windows 7 startup repair failure.?

Question

I built my own computer a few months back, but this is the second time this specific error has happened. On startup, Windows asks to do system restore from some unknown problem. Well the startup repair runs for somewhere between 5 and 10 minutes and says it failed. It says the root cause is this:
"Repair action: System Restore
Result: Failed. Error code = 0x1f
Time taken = 218636 ms

Repair action: System files integrity check and repair
Result: Failed. Error code = 0x490
Time taken = 690054 ms"

It shuts down my computer after I hit OK and seems to start up okay next time I power on. This specific scenario has happened twice so far, but wants to do a system restore at least once a week.
So I really have 2 problems. #1 is the failed restore and #2 is the unusually frequent need to system restore.
Help please, and thanks in advance.

after selecting repair>cmd prompt, enter:

BootRec.exe /fixmbr



you can also substitue the /fixmbr with thes commands:



/FixBoot. Writes a boot sector onto the system partition to start Windows



/ScanOs. Scans all disks for Windows installations and displays them to you.

I am a professional developer with Microsoft, and have about 10 years of experience in the field of Computer Engineering. Most problems with PC's are the result of malicious software that infected a Computer. Examples of this are things such as malware, viruses, trojans, spyware, adware, root kits, and worms. In other cases, they are the result of stability issues due to crashes, freezes, or Hardware Issues. Some examples of hardware issues could be a dirty cooling fan causing the computer to overheat, or low memory due to lack of RAM, which could cause the PC to run slowly. You may think it could be a virus, or malware, or registry issues, but it could be something else entirely. As a computer layman, one may find it hard to really ascertain what exactly is causing the problems, without having a professional do an in depth analysis of your PC.



As professional computer repairs can be quite costly, I would recommend to you a Software that many of us in the tech department here at Microsoft use personally and professionally to diagnose and repair computer problems very quickly. It is a software called Reimage, from https://reimagefix.im .. In my personal experience, and in the experience of many of my associates, this is probably the best software ever created for those experiencing computer troubles. This is likely to remedy just about ANY problem your computer could possibly be having, and have it running like new. Reimage has won several awards, and been featured in publications such as PC Mag.
