Can't open my PC, Problem - "StartupRepairOffline"?

[Chipp]

So this has happened to me a couple of times in the last few days (though system restore was able to fix it up until now) - At random when I open my PC, a boot menu would appear and when I would select normal start up it would just fail, and go back to the boot menu after "Restarting", I guess would be the best way to put it.
I tried system repair, which naturally - did nothing at all. Though through it I was able to access system restore and luckily get to a point in time where not much of my things would be removed.
Now when I try system restore, it doesn't even help - it just takes me back to a point where the same problem happens.
Here are the problem details:

Problem Event Name: StartupRepairOffline
Problem Signature 01: 6.1.7600.16385
Problem Signature 02: 6.1.7600.16385
Problem Signature 03: unknown
Problem Signature 04: 21199639
Problem Signature 05: AutoFailover
Problem Signature 06: 4
Problem Signature 07: BadDriver
OS Version: 6.1.7601.2.1.0.256.1
Locale ID: 1033


It would be great if someone knew the solution, I really don't want to go through the trouble of taking my PC to a repair lab and all of that stuff >.<

Checking the net for your baddriver error shows many posts walking you thru the steps to attempt repair. Several of them point to malware often causing this issue so make sure that you run malwarebytes to check for any possible issues. I am posting the links to a few posts that can walk you through the process.

It seems that all of these posts require you to get constant instructions from people who know what they are doing, by posting things such as logs that different programs give you.
Is there any solution that is simpler? one that just requires me to maybe download a couple of programs, run them on my pc, and then it will work? Whilst I really don't want to go through the trouble of going to a repair lab, downloading 7 different programs, running them each at a time, copy pasting and uploading logs whilst waiting for people to give me further instructions seems even MORE troublesome than just taking my pc to a repair lab.
Also, I didn't do the malwarebytes thing you suggested, it's seems kind of pointless if all it would do is just TELL me if there is a problem with my pc... Obviously the fact it doesn't even let me get past the starting windows screen is a problem in it of itself, And the one thread you linked me that suggested malwarebytes, said you must download and run different programs before it.

Sorry but there is rarely a magic bullet that will fix issues without narrowing down the cause from several possible to one likely. The bad driver error is something that you can either try fixing for yourself or taking it to a repair shop where they will charge you a lot more for doing whatever they think they can get away with charging.

You won't know if your HDD was really bad, your video card or drivers, or even your PSU unless you try to look at what may be the issue. They could just end up replacing parts hoping they solve it but you won't know if the expense was truly warranted. Only you can decide what your time is worth but even taking it to a repair shop you will still have to answer many of the same questions.
