Hello Coonut,
Thank you for your reply,
I would suggest you to login to any other computer and create a Windows 8 installation disk. Using that disk you can perform the troubleshooting methods given below.

2013-01-30T17:48:09+00:00 we've had two win 8 laptops brought in the store over the last two weeks with reboot loop problem. Nothing seems to work so far. except on an Acer formatted the partition where the operating system was. rebooted and went into repair mood and reinstall a fresh copy of win 8 from the recovery partition, worked fine. The Dell we tried everything then formatted the os system partition didn't work missing files in partion that was formatted. So you can try this at your own risk!

I had the same problem too. I received my brand new asus n56vz laptop in 26th January and until now I already had to reinstall the OS 3 times. I only installed Visual Studio and Intel Visual Fortran Compiler, all in their latest versions and conveniently licensed. Right now I have my system running for a day with some reboots in between wihtout any issues (wich is a victory!).
After all my frustrated attemps to solve the problem I ended up to disable all windows updates and all non-Microsoft services in msconfig. It seems to be working... Despite that I am avoiding restarting my computer until Microsoft can't provide a fix for this. Shame on you, Microsoft!

I also installed visual studio recently right after the windows SDK tools, and a remote client service in hopes if connecting my android. Installation went fine then said it had to reboot to complete, nothing is working yet to fix the issue... startup repair gave me the same log error and restore point didn't work either. Having trouble even getting to advanced start up screen now. Lockscreen if it shows at all changes to blue-ish purple flickering screwn with arrow and circular loading mouse tip but nothing happens after that. This is ridiculous... using dell inspiron n5110. Also updated windows last night as well..
