Many users will choose "Startup Repair" when the Windows fails to start. But why it did not work and went into the Startup Repair loop? Generally speaking, there are 2 main causes. If the boot sector is infected by viruses and other malware, the bootloader and booting chain will get damaged. And the virus may then prevent Startup Repair from either running or implementing its repair normally.

So the infinite loop of Startup Repair occurs. If any improper shutdown, sudden power failure, or a blue screen of death happens when you are writing to the boot partition, there is also a chance that your system is unable to boot and infinitely cycle into the Startup Repair.

Then, you can restart your Windows 7 computer to check if the problem has been resolved. If the problem persists, proceed to the next method.
