My computer wouldn't start and entered into an Automatic Repair. The automatic repair "couldnt repair [my]PC". 

It specifies the following Log file: E:\Recovery\WindowsRE\Winre.wim\System32\Logfiles\Srt\SrtTrail.txt

*Modified title for accuracy*

*Original title: Automatic Repair Error SrtTrail.txt*

    From microsoft and google, it would seem a win 7 license would be required. 

    per manufacturer, downloaded motherboard bios update onto flash drive. numerous you tube videos and attempts to bios taping or pressing from end to, f12 etc to no avail. Non computer savvy help  looked inside and said fan not turning and hit machine. It started with some error pop ups for fonts and saying restore not fully successful , etc.  I copied every last bit of data to flash drive.   I am now about to restart and see what happens.
